COMMENTS March 10, 2016 Workshop • Safety concerns with 13 homes being built in a short timeframe (machinery/construction traffic). Would ask the City to restrict building permits to mas of 2 per year unless there is an access road from the farm side used. • Would like to wait to develop these until the Pearson's additional parcels are sold and plans for Riverdale are solidified. • No commercial property. • Riverdale does not connect to Bowers. • Use farm roads for construction. I shouldn't be assessed for road projects so someone else can make money. • Tree buffer behind all of Bowers. • Concern about additional ground water use with 13 more houses. • Prefer single family homes, but larger lots (200' wide). • Future development—single family residential only south of Highway 10,not multi family or commercial. • Are you doing a water study on how this will affect the well water level? • Who is responsible for road damage with all heavy equipment going up and down road? • Is the electric co. going to update wiring so we don't have blow-outs? • Are these lots sold or are they going to be a mud hole with heavy equipment sitting there for two years. • Buffer zone behind new lots. • New access road through farmland to connect either to Armstrong or Highway 10. o Keeps construction vehicles off Bowers. o Keeps traffic lower at current Bowers/Highway 10 if another road exiting Bowers. • Keep new lots equal to river lot size. o Reduces number of new lots to 8 or 9. • Can ground water support 13 additional wells with 2,000,000 gallon a year additional usage? • Thirteen sceptics and effect on the wells downstream of ground water flow. • Aquifer depletion? • Larger lots would be preferred if plan goes forward (200' wide). 0 I would like to see the new lots mirror the lots directly across from them in their width.
