• right-of-way. Director Sukup explained to the commissioners that the
petitioner is requesting this section of Shannon be vacated for the
development of multifamily housing on these parcels. Considerable
discussion followed to help describe the traffic issues that the future use
would create, would the street ever be used, no the abutting property
owner never plans to allow that kind of right-a-way though his property.
Whose responsibility would the extension of Mansfield belong to; Director
Sukup thought it would belong to the City. Commission Blum is
uncomfortable making a decision without input from the proponent.
