Mr. Johnsor sta.~ed they moved the road over nine feet to make it a public road. <br /> <br />Ms. Kuechl¢~ asked what affect that has on her putting up trees or shrubs in her yard. <br /> <br />ChairpersonlNixt indicated it has no affect. He stated there will be a 25 foot buffer strip with a <br />prescribed n ~ml~er of shrubs and a retaining wall with screening. He would suggest Staff discuss <br />this with M.~ Kt~echle, as it will be an issue as it goes from rural to medium density. <br /> <br />Ms. Kuechl~ stat, ed she also heard about a sidewalk going on her property. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson indicated a sidewalk is not required in this case in the cul-de-sac. He noted <br />the City is r~ue~ting a link to the County trail. <br />Chairperson ~i~ commented that the trail link would answer Mr. Fredrick's question of how the <br />kids will getlto s~hool. <br /> <br />Ms. Kuechl¢[ asked why she was not notified as a homeowner that they would be putting in a <br />trail. ~ " <br /> <br />Principal Pl.,ann~,r Trudgeon indicated the trail would be in the right-of-way, not on Ms. <br />ruechle's property. <br />City Engine~ O[son indicated on County roads the right-of-way is 120 feet from the centerline. <br />He added wlien they put trails in front of yards they try to preserve as many of the trees as they <br />can. <br /> <br />Ms. Kuechle}sta~d that on the 2na Addition, she is appalled at the proposed development. She <br />indicated shetkn4w the previous owners, and both of them were opposed to anything being built <br />there excePt [sin$1e-family homes. They are both dead now, and she has been told that the <br />developer was p~oposing multi-family homes because he had to make up the additional money <br />the daughter~ were requesting. She commented the daughters were only asking for an add~tlonal <br />$20,000, which ~ith four homes could easily be made up. <br />Bob Steur, 1 ~251.- Sodium Street, stated his home is six years old, and is completely surrounded <br />by single-fancily homes. He is wondering why the City would allow multi-family homes in the <br />area.
