NEW BUSINESS PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 87-20, RETURN OF PREVIOUSLY DEDICATED RIGHT-OF-WAY, MANZANITA STREET WEST OF DESERT VIEW City Attorney David Alexander expressed a concern that individuals are relying on Manzanita Street for access to their property, and to vacate would isolate lots, and suggested to the Council that they not act on the proposed resolution until the involved property owners have come to an agreement for access. Mayor Hill suggested the City paving Manzanita and Desert View. Vice Mayor Bakkedahl stated that this type of situation exists throughout the City, and wished to know how it can be prevented and corrected. Mr. Alexander replied that this problem is one of the topics for discussion at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on Thursday night. Mr. Howard Beach, 2679 W. Manzanita, addressed the Council as a property owner on Manzanita, in opposition to vacating the street. Mr. Melvin Worsley, 1338 N. Desert View Drive, also a property owner on the street in question, spoke in favor of having the City own and maintain the street, asking for a committment to do so. Vice Mayor Bakkedahl asked if all the property owners in those sections along the street are in agreement to dedicating the rights-of-way. Mr. Worsley stated that two of the property owners are not at this time, but if there is a promise to pave and improve the street, they may be willing to dedicate. Director of Public Works Rich Broman explained that the five-year street improvement program would have to be amended by the City Council to add Manzanita Street as a priority, or possibly a district created. City Manager Bill Da Vee stated that the Council may wish to consider that by amending the program with Manzanita Street as a priority, that would be the displacment of paving another street.
