Mr. Hyde recalled that in November, 1967, the Village Attorney had advised that a case had been found which indicated that a - street vacation based on a petition with insufficient signatures would result in vaca- tion of the street if the action of the Council was not challenged in a timely manner. Council had further been advised that the half of the vacated street adjoining the park became subject to the same easement for park purposes and that for this reason the Vil- lage could not grant an easement to a private party over that portion of the vacated road. Mr. Whitlock had advised that the Village should block off the vacated portion of the drive and no longer allow it to be used for,access to the property of Mr. Richard Crist, 6716 Point Drive. Mr. Hyde further recalled that the Park Board had felt that access to the park property on the lakeshore was not absolutely essential and that the road had no other public purpose. Mr. Fremont C. Fletcher, attorney for Mr. Crist, re- ferred to the agreement entered into in 1961 by the then Director of Parks which per- mitted use of the vacated portion of Laguna Drive by the Crists in exchange for access across the Crist's property to the Village park property. Following considerable dis- cussion, Mr. Charles Cox, attorney for Mrs. L. 14. Haling, 4429 Laguna Drive, advised that should Council choose to ignore the advice of its attorney, he would recommend that Mrs. Haling take the matter to court, and rejected a plea by the Mayor that inter- ested parties make an effort to compromise the matter to everyone's satisfaction.
