Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Chairman Hendriksen, Commissioners LaDue, Deemer and Ten-5.'. Voting No: None. Absent: Chairman Zimmem-mn, Commissioners Shumway and Bawden. Andria Hillebregt - 16926 Bison Street N.W. - Stated that she would not like to see Bison constructed as a through street to access Trott Brook Ridge; a through street is not necessary and it would destroy the character of the area. Commissioner Hendriksen indicated that anytime there is a situation of the road or casement abutting a property line, which is the case with Bison, it is typically an indication that the road was intended to be a through street at some point in the future to provide access to the next developing parcel. Al Shallbetter - 16970 Bison Street N.W. - Stated that he doesn't think the City properly notified people in the area about the proposed plat and public hearing; he and a majority of the residences on Bison did not receive notification of the public hearing and several homes on Zeolite Street that are not affected by the plat did. The Cit',' recently considered paving Bison from 171st to Cry. Road #63; that and the portion of Bison being discussed at this time should be paved all at once. A1 inquired as to who initiated the petition to pave Bison. Mr. Banwart stated that petitions are initiated by the affected property owners. A1 Shallbetter - Requested an explanation of the proposed trail system. Mr. Banwart stated that the standard the City is pursuing with respect to trails is a 75 foot wide corridor, but in this case wider than 75 feet because of Trott Brook. The trail would consist of a 8 foot v,,ide bituminous path and an additional undeveloped type of path for horseback riding. The trail itself has to be located on usable ground. Regarding notification of public hearing, the State Statute requires the City not/fy all properties within 350 feet of the boundaries of the proposed project; if parcels immediately adjacent to the proposed project area are 350 feet deep or deeper, the parcels beyond would most likely not receive notification. A1 Shallbetter - Stated that he understands that Bison Street was misaligned on the north end and inquired as to who is responsible for the cost of realignment to it's correct position. Mr. Banwart replied that the abutting property owners from 171st to Ct.','. Rd. #63 are responsible for the realignment of Bison Street. Al Shallbetter - Inquired as to why it wouldn't be easier to ~andfather Bison Street into it's current position. Mr. Banwart replied that in some cases, streets are ~andfathered into their used position; in this particular case, a number of parcels were torrenced and the judge ruled that when the street is improved, it ',,,,ill be brought into the City's right-of-way. Dee Anderley - 16917 Bison Street N.W. - Stated that she has lived in the area for 22 3'ears and she is opposed and sees no point to extending Bison as a through street as there are several other accesses that could be used by the developer of Trott Brook Ridge.
