When the residents in Golden Eagle Estates <br />purchased their property, they 'knew Zeolite Street N.W. would be a through street. If those <br />residents did not want through traffic, they should have chosen a different location to build their <br />homes. He also stated that he believes most people will go to 173rd and that traffic will lessen in <br />Golden Eagle Estates when Bison Street N.W. is improved. If Bison Street N.W. is constructed <br />as a through street, the residents of Golden Eagle Estates should share in that cost. <br /> <br />Dean Helgeson stated that he believes if Bison Street N.W. is constructed as a cul-de-sac, people <br />will go to 173rd to get out of the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Dusbabek stated that people do not use 173rd and if they did, he would not be concerned with <br />the traffic issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Shallbetter noted that the only reason traffic doesn't use 173rd now is because of the road <br />conditions. If Bison Street N.W. were improved, the traffic would use 173rd. <br /> <br />Mr. Hillebregt noted that if Bison Street N.W. is constructed as a through street, it will run very <br />close to his front door. <br /> <br />John Anderlie inquired as to the estimated cost for drainage easements. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka replied that easements are estimated at $5,000.00. <br /> <br />Mr. Dusbabek inquired as to the difference in the per unit cost if Bison Street N.W. was <br />constructed as a cul-de-sac versus a through street. <br /> <br />Mx.
