V. DISCUSSION & ACTION
A. Street Improvements - Bartlett Street (Private Street)

had been requested at the last Council Meeting regarding Bartlett
Street improvements has been prepared and the Engineer is also
present to answer any questions.
Mr. Marcussen, 4457 Bartlett Street, stated that there were
some of the residents that wanted to keep the street a dead end
street and some that would rather have it go through to Edmond
Drive and some don't want any change at ail and want to keep it
a private street.

like the street to be like a cul-de-sac, but inquired why the
turning radius has to be 32'.

Sarno stated that it was necessary to have at least 32' turning
radius at the end of the cul-de-sac to allow emergency vehicles
to enter the street and leave without backing up.

get together amongst themselves and then comeback to the Council

solved,it would be a show of good faith if a mutual agreement was
