He indicated that if he shows the road on Mr. Smith's <br />property, hc apologizes, and it is an oversight that will be corrected. He stated one concern <br />raised by the neighbors was the amount of traffic going onto Garnet, and as a solution to that it <br />was suggested that another access be provided to Nowthen Boulevard, but he does not need it <br />ii'om his point oFview. <br /> <br />Mr. l'ctcrson showed how the road was intended some day to continue through to Garnet, stating <br />that in his opinion it could just dead-end. He stated the other thing he has discussed with Mr. <br />Smith is that he will hold those lots off market for some time, however they have not agreed on <br />how long. <br /> <br />Mr. l'etcrson explained that concerning the extension of 167th Avenue, there is a logical <br />alignment that could go on 166~h Avenue instead. He stated that the 90 degree turns would be <br />climinatccl. He indicated he has purchased two homes along the right-of-way, and the road <br />would go all the way over to Variolite, to the right-of-way the City already has. He stated that if <br />thc road were going to be put in according to the Comprehensive Plan, it goes right through Mr. <br />()vertoom's property. <br /> <br />Mr. Pctcrson stated that another issue he had with Staff, that he thought was solved, was a <br />question cfa cul-de-sac. He showed a revision proposed that would eliminate a cul-de-sac and <br />provide a stub street to Mr. Overtoom's property. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked what rights the City has to avoid construction in the conservation <br />easement areas. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler stated there would be no structures permitted in the easement, besides <br />thc trail, and the trail would act as the southern boundary of the conservation easement to help <br />delineate the casement boundary. <br /> <br />(ihairperson Nixt asked who is paying for the trail. <br /> <br />Associate ['lanner Geisler stated that Park and Trail fees would be used to construct the trail. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked where people can gain access to the trail. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/August 8, 2005 <br /> Page 7 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
