Mr. O'Malley stated <br />that the proposed plat of Delwood Hills consists of 9 single family residential lots <br />averaging 2.5 acres in size. <br /> <br />Mr. Tim Dusbabek - 7821 171st Avenue N.W. - Read the following letter: <br /> <br />"This letter is in regards to the proposed Dellwood Hills Addition. We have some concerns <br />that we would like to address. <br /> <br />The first concern is the increase in traffic past our homes. The section of 171st Avenue <br />N.W. that links Bison Street to Zeolite Avenue currently serves as the route of choice for <br />the present homeowners on Bison Street to go south to Variolite Avenue. The alternative is <br />to go north on Bison Street to County Road 63, east to Variolite and then south. <br />Subsequently, with more homes being built on Bison, the traffic flow will obviously <br />increase. We feel that this increase would have an adverse affect on our neighborhood <br />considering the number of families with young children under the age of 12. Along the <br />route 171st to Zeolite to 169th, alone, out of 22 homes, 17 have children under the age of <br />12. More traffic just means a greater risk of a child getting hurt. <br /> <br />Our second concern is that nine homes may not appear to pose much of a traffic increase, <br />however, there is considerable undeveloped land to the south of the proposed development <br />and if that land is developed into residential housing and no other improvements are made <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Public Hearing/May 2, 1989 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
