Short Street and Hillside Lane both have 30' rights-of-way,, and are <br /> existing gravel streets. <br /> 2. The portion of Hillside Lane in question has never been used for <br /> public use. In fact there is a private garage built within the <br /> right-of-way. <br /> 3. The extension of Hillside to the private road Woodland would be an <br /> expensive construction and engineering job. There is an existing <br /> ravine just behind the lot with the mobile home on it. <br /> 4. The area around this street has been built up on acre lots and <br /> could not be resubdivided until sanitary sewer was extended to <br /> this area. It is highly questionable if it could ever be subdivided. <br /> It is also possible that Ridge Lane could be extended to provide <br /> access to resubdivided property if needed. <br /> The Planning Staff recommendsthat the right-of-way for Hillside Lane on <br /> the unopendd portion could be closed, except for that the portion that lies <br /> within the area of the extension of the right-of-way on the east side of <br /> Short Street as shown on Tax Map 23 in Hillsborough Township. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> /le <br />
