Mt'. Strandlund replied the units will be rambler~s with 1,500 to 1,600 square feet on the main <br />level with finished basements. <br /> <br />Davc Johnson, 15423 Potassium Street, questioned when Potassium Street was determined to be <br />a public road. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied the City has maintained the road for some time. He indicated he <br />will provide Mr. Johnson with his :research on the:road. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson stated he does not believe Potassium Street is a public street. Also, he feels <br />?otassi um Street should be moved to be right doWn the property line. <br /> <br />Counci lmember Pearson asked if there is a city ordinance that requires all roads in the City to be <br />centered on the property line. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson repliedlit is typical in the City to center the roads, but it is <br />not required by ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson stated this development woUld include 52 units and half of the traffic would be <br />coming down Potassium Street, as well as the :22'units next to him. He stated the traffic should <br />be routed on CR 5 some other way. <br /> <br />Mayor' Gamec replied one of the problems wOuld be getting the county to grant access to CR 5, <br />however, Mt-. Johnson's comments will be reviewed. <br /> <br />Patrick ltampton, 15551 Potassium Street, stated he will be right across the street fi'om this <br />abomination if' it goes in. His father spent the money putting Potassium Street in. If he recalls, <br />a£ter thc City maintains a road for seven years it becomes a public road, however, in the 80's his <br />f`ather repeatedly asked the City not to maintain ithe road. The City continued to maintain the <br />road and is now saying they own the road. i He Slated their property line is 30 feet from the road <br />and now more of their property wilt be taken, iHe thinks the road should be centered on the <br />property line. Also, after these developers are long gone and have made their money, someone <br />will say this road cannot handle the volume and',assess the property owners to widen the road. <br />He stated he is not opposed to the builders developing their property, but this development is <br />pretty high density. His final point is if this development is built as it is presented it will <br />substantially reduce the resale of his property because of the high density housing next to it. The <br />landowners will have to live with the consequences of the builder's actions. <br /> <br />Councihnember Elvig asked if Mr. Hampton is against the road being public and paved if it is <br />centered. <br /> <br />Mt'. Hampton replied he does not have a problem with the road being public and paved if it is <br />movcd. He does not want to lose his front Yard. He explained he is not trying to stop <br />development, but he wants this to be a win/win situation. <br /> <br /> City Couneil/jan~uary 25, 2005 <br /> Page 7 t)f 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
