Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Schmitt stated there was talk at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on the cul de sac at the end of A -B Avenue for emergency vehicle turn around. The plat shows a 20 x 40 foot, 800 square feet area right in the center of Lot No. 1 and asked if that would be adequate for the vehicle turn around. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, responded as far as he knows, and he is not certain Fire Rescue as looked at it, but the Engineering Department looked at it and it appeared to be okay for them. Mr. Thorson stated he thinks that is fairly close to the standards they have seen in other locations Fire Rescue has been reviewing, but we could make it subject to Fire Rescue taking a look at it to be sure. Councilperson Schmitt stated that is his concern because the plat shows it is in the center of the lot instead of at the end of the street. Mr. Thorson stated he is not absolutely certain, but that might be the Wagner's driveway and they apparently don't have a problem with letting people turn around in their driveway. Mr. Thorson stated he doesn't know if the city has the actual site plan for the house yet, but some preliminary things they saw seem to indicate that.
