• . • Regular Meeting 10/7/74 - Continued 8 (C) MR. CARL LYONS - DENIAL OF STREET CLOSING AND VISTA BAYWOOD CONDITIONS - CONTINUED - Mr. Lyons stated that when the request was made, some time ago, all the Commissioners had looked at the location and were in agreement that the street portion might be closed. Because of the samll amount of street involved, it was possibly considered unimportant, but it was most important to him due to the situation existing at Vista Baywood. The street portion had never been opened nor maintained by the City or County, but himself and two other property owners. The petition presented by himself and two other property owners stated that they would sign all easements and the street would remain open. • Mayor Thomas stated that the request had been made some- time back and the Commission was in accord that the street would be closed if the utility companies had no objections. Due to the location of easements needed, there was little street left to close. It was the opinion of the City Attorney that it would not be advantageous to close the street. The City ordinarily does not close a street if the utility companies object, due to franchise agreements. The City Attorney suggested that the City might consider entering an order that the street not be opened since it had never been opened on the ground, and it would stay in the condition it is in now. It would not close the street, but the order by the Commission that no vehicular or pedestrian traffic other than access rights for utility companies, be allowed. This was satisfactory with Mr. Lyons. NUISANCE - Mr. Lyons stated the second problem was the Condit ons at Vista Baywood and the fact that it was a nuisance. The problems ranged from a broken windshield to his truck, trespassers, language abuse, debris, etc. It was determined that it was left to property owners to file trespassing charges. There was a brief discussion regarding what the original specifications stated would be built when Vista Baywood project was presented. :7 There was some discussion regarding signs, fences, and piers. It was determined that the City had approved the project, therefore, the City had no recourse in regard to the original specifications now.
