John Boros - 7130 156th Avenue - He knows a property owner who purchased 98 <br />acres in this area and is planning to develop; closing Puma and opening the <br />Dayton crossing will eventually create a traffic congestion problem. There <br />are plans to relocate Hwy. #10 and there won't be many traffic problems on <br />that highway. Speedy routes for emergency vehicles should also be <br />considered. <br /> <br />Sue Smith - 15250 Iguana - Statad that from comments made last week by Mr. <br />Mooney, it was her understanding that for safety reasons, Puma would never <br />be upgraded. Property owners in that area anticipating commercial and <br />industrial development should consider the fact that there will probably <br />never be protection devices installed at that Puma crossing. Extending <br />Cty. R. ~116 to that area would greatly increase property value and access <br />for commercial development. <br /> <br />Dan McGinnis - Stated he wants to keep Puma the way it is; even blacktop <br />it. <br /> <br />Debbie Bodin - 15330 Marmoset - If Puma is closed, what guarantee is there <br />that trucks won't use 153rd anyway just to eliminate having to stop at the <br />weigh station; 153rd is a State road and the trucks cannot be prevented <br />from using it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox - Replied that the City would enter into an agreement <br />stating the trucks from Northfork operations would not use 153rd. <br /> <br />Mike Nasby - 8330 153rd - Stated he has a petition signed by 230 people <br />that feel that for the safety of the children, Puma should be closed. <br />There are 500 trucks a day travelling 153rd; sooner or later there has to <br />be an accident. <br /> <br />Council received the petition. <br /> <br />Katy Ottenstroer - Requested clarification regarding the extension of Cty. <br />Rd. #116. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka - Stated that Cty. Rd. #116 would be extended behind the <br />McGinnis property as a MSA road; that extension is just a concept plan at <br />this time formed by City Council, Road and Bridge Committee and himself. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox - Noted that the proposed alignment for the extension of <br />Cty. Rd. #116 is also subject to change. <br /> <br />Vic Hagenah - 15231 Jackal - Stated the truck traffic should use Jarvis and <br />get away from the Whispering Pines neighborhood but Elk River is not <br />interested in that idea. Northfork developers caused this problem and they <br />should negotiate with Elk River and get their problem away from Whispering <br />Pines. <br /> <br />Dennis Peck - Project Manager - Northfork - Stated that there are other <br />developers of Northfork present. Stated he can appreciate people's <br />frustration with what is going on and Council's concern with the ability of <br />persons in the Puma area to be able to market and develop their property. <br />City Council Public Hearing/August 19, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
