Associate Planner Wald indicated there may be, but the developer is trying to work within the 600 foot limits. : Kathy Gustafson, 6822 Rabbut Street noted Lot 1 at 178th and Tiger Streets is actually a large pond. She asked if that was going to be filled in. ' City Engineer J'ankowski stated the lot is intended to be larger than the pond~ and the pon& will stay with a buildable lot around it. · Commissioner Van Scoy asked ifstaffhad considered running Rabbit Street to Armstrong. City Engineer Jankowski indicated it is certainly.ah option; :however staff would prefer to minimize access to County roads where possible:- - Devin Diedrich, 16911 Tiger Street, stated he moved here because he likes it quiet. He stated he already took a hit with tWO busy streets, now a-third one is being proposed. He would like to ask that other options are explored. - '~ _._ Chairperson Nixt stated the access ~rom Tiger could not be moved very.much north because of the pond. -.: ~ :' ... _,~ Chairperson Nixt stated he is sympathetic to thE-tand owner' but he would not like egress to Armstrong with the park and curve there. .. r.~ Dan Floria, 16955 Nutria, Lot 4 Autumn Meadows stated if you look at the records, there have been a lot of calls to the police about 168m Street and high speed traffic. He stated there was also a .lot of people tearing uP the grass through:=the park with four-wheelers. He indicated if the City builds a. road through there it will amplify., the.situation as well as encourage additional high- speedtraffic. -~ Mark Anderson clarified that ~hat-he-'m proposing is not to avoid a second access to the development;'but to avoid a through street that would generate additional traffic. Chairperson Nixt indicated the City tries to provide additional access if they can, but in this case they cannot. He does not think they should prevent development because of that. He would recommend approving the'sketch and try to modify the road by Mr. Diedrich, and then he could live with the. plan. Commissionei' Johnson added the caveat that staff should further speak with the City Attorney and see what. can be done through the park. He stated the City can vacate roads; they should be able to vacate parkland. Mr. Brand, 17045 Tiger, stated he owns the property to the north. There is an easement that runs ail: along his south property line. On his abstract, it says the easement is for a road. It was recommended the property owner try to find the document that supports the easement to determine the intended use. -248- Planning Commission/April 3, 2003 Page 7 of 13 I I ! I I !
