this time on any item not on this meeting's agenda. Wilt Anderson, CEMETERY
5441 West 134th Street, spoke representing Lebanon Cemetery Associa- DISPOSITION
tion. He said they offered the cemetery and its fund balance to the
City two years ago, and have not received an answer. Meetings have been held,
but nothing has been done. A private individual was approached about adding
property to the site and there has been no progress with that option. He
suggested the best option would be to leave the size of the cemetery as is and
improve it. Mayor Branning agreed a decision needs to be made and asked to have
the item come back before the Council.
Tom Melena announced that he was submitting his resignation as City
Administrator effective April 29, 1994. He thanked everyone for their

Central Maintenance Facility will be closed on 140th Street. Temporary access
will be provided from 146th Street and Galaxie Avenue through the gravel pit to

John Miller, 13667 Holyoke Lane, said the neighbors are in favor of the proposal,
but are concerned about the pathway proposed along the southeast boundary of the
site. They would rather have funds escrowed to construct the path later if
needed. He noted potential problems with tree removal and visibility where the
path would connect to 140th Street. He also asked that the pond be cleaned up
during construction.
Councilmember Goodwin said there is a path connection to the park on Holyoke and
the connection to 140th Street is not really needed. When the corner was
proposed for multiple dwellings, the path would have helped as a buffer and that
is no longer the case.
Mayor Branning said if the path is not constructed, the area should be combined
with the property being platted and eliminated.
MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Goodwin, amending the foregoing RESEARCH PATH
motion by requesting the City Attorney to research vacating VACATION
the path connection from Sunset Park to 140th Street.
Mr. Miller said if the path area is vacated, they would like the property added
to the lots on Holyoke instead of Alimagnet Landing so they can be sure it will
remain as is and not graded.

Mr. Hickok reviewed the report on Avsur Acres development located AVSUR ACRES
located west of Pennock Avenue and north of 133rd Street tabled from DEVELOPMENT
March 24, 1994. The plat is for four lots; two with existing homes
and two outlots, with right-of-way dedicated for Glenhaven Avenue. The site was
reviewed to determine if a street connection to Pennock could be made. It would
require extensive grading and is not recommended.

Mayor Branning said when Outlots A and B are developed, access to Lot 2 could be
provided through Outlot A rather than by private driveway across Lot 1. He asked
that this be noted for future consideration.
Don Moran said he is purchasing the property and he wants to continue to have a
private driveway from Pennock Avenue to Lot 2. The people living in the houses
on Lots 1 and 2 want the driveway easement put on the plat as a private road and
do not want to further develop those lots.
Councilmember Goodwin said a street access over Outlot A to Lot 2 would have to
be on the north or south side of the property because it is only 165 feet wide.
This would create roads on three sides of one lot in either Highpoint or Hallwood
Highlands which already have houses.
The Mayor said he does not want to create a landlocked parcel which would happen
with this plat. Private road easements will be future enforcement problems.
Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 1 (Branning).

Craig Minea, owner of the property, was present and explained the request which
will add Pet Food Warehouse at the current entrance on the east side and relocate
soveral shops to exterior access on tho east side. Access to remaining interior
store will continue to be on the north side of the shopping center.
Councilmember Humphrey commented on garbage collection issues related to the
exterior stores. Mike O~Rourke, the Center Manager, was present and said he will
check into the matter. Trash should not be on the sidewalk for more than about
half an hour.
Mayor Branning asked Mr. Minea if ho is willing to revisit tho total parking lot
circulation? Mr. Minea said he can make signage changes as recommended; however,
thsre ars shared easements with Kmart and Rainbow which will be very difficult to
change because of multiple ownership interests.

The Mayor said a complete traffic study is needed due to change in philosophy and
concept of the shopping center from the original interior mall design.
Regardless of the building remodeling authorization a traffic study is needed for
the site, He asked Staff to research such a study and possible cost sharing.
