This 20 foot strip of land is one of four that were left on either side of the two roadways into the subdivision, and the subdivision was approved with the condition that these strips must be deeded to the adjoining vroperty oumer5. NIr. Welke, renresenting Hennie Homes,:explained thisis the first strip to be split off, and they have not come to an agreement with the other property owners.

N. Breenan, Sunrise Land.Company, explained that this roadway was dedicated and accepted•by the City in the 1920`s;but"no improvements:were installed and no financial arrangements were made, a:condition that would no longer be uossible in the City.

The street is not dedicated in Olmsted Township iahere it would continue. At the time the subdivision was approved, there was discussion of vacating the street, but it was. never acted i1DOI1. This property will be given to the abutting-property owners. Councilman ?KCKay stated that if the lots are larger,larger homes can be built and the City will realize additional tax mone_y. Mr. NTorgan is concerned that eliminating the street could. prevent any future development of the oolf course. Mr. Bierman is con- cerned,that this could cause a lia3ility for the city, since the residential lots will be abutting a golf course. Mr. Scheef, Springvale Country Club, does not believe that there would be a problem in this area since the. property is heavily wooded and, even if the street remains, it would never be app.roved by the City since it would be adjacent to the rear property lines. He maintains that if the go-lf course was developed, a street would have to be installed at another location.
