Ms. Hampton questioned how long a 32-foot wide road would take care of traffic. She stated there arc only [bur houses there now, and when all these people move in they will want a wider road. She indicated she and her husband want the road moved over so they do not have to worry about their fi'om yard. Chairperson Nixt asked for clarification on the State Statute that determines road width. Associate ?lanncr Wald indicated the City has an affidavit that says they maintain 66-feet. She stated she would have to deter to the City Attorney if they want to discuss it any further. Ms. [lampton asked the I'laaning Commission not to continue with this case until this is established. She stated they have legal representation also. She indicated she does not want to be confl'ontational, but wants this resolved before this plan goes further. She commented this is a little dirt road. Chairperson Nixt stated the issue was in the record and the Planning Commission will take that into consideration when they make a recommendation. Ms. l-[ampton questioned what would happen if the developer kept going and put more money iht() this project until it was too kate to stop it. She stated there is no way the City has maintained 66-1~ect of roact, and they cannot take that. Sara l~ickharctt, 15751 I)otassium Street, stated she submitted the letter before the Planning Commission. Commissioner Van Scoy asked Staff about the lots shown on the drawing, which were referred to in Ms. [~ickhardt's fetter. Iqe asked if' Staff was looking at a different definition of a lot because these arc townhomcs. Associate I~lanner Wald stated they are, noting that. wi~h townhomes the lot is u~ually the f'oundation, however they draw boxes around it to make it easier to record at the County. She indicated thc proposal is meeting the townhouse size requirements, so it is not really lot size they look at, but building size. Ms. 1~ickard noted that in her point four, it should say nine units, not six. She indicated she also wants to note that concerning the street, residents were not allowed to have mail delivery or school bus service on the street because it is a private drive. She stated her letter refers to all four cases to be presented, and other comments specifically address rezoning. Milt Wyshalt, 15407 Old Nowthen Boulevard, questioned how they could be at the preliminary plat stage when a preliminary sketch plan has not been approved. Chairperson Nixt advised thc Planning Commission recommended denial of the sketch plan, which then went to the Cit~2,'Ci~uncil for more feedback, and has now come back to the Planning Commission as a preliminary plat.
