Tim Yehle, 6121 145th Lane NW, stated that he was opposed to having a trail in his backyard. <br />He explained that the trail would come five feet from his screened gazebo. In regards to children <br />walking to school, he has children that are both bussed and do not walk to school. His other area <br />of concern had to do with water coming onto his property because he has a low, fiat backyard. <br />Mr. Yehle stated that he wants to be assured that he will not have water in his back yard. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the water issues would be addressed. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook proposed that a sidewalk be constructed along the west side of 145th Lane <br />and than the proposed southerly trail be removed from the proposed development. <br /> <br />Julie Horn, 6031 145th Lane NW, stated that John and Sandy Bertzyk went around the entire <br />perimeter of the proposed development to get recommendations from people regarding the trail <br />and it was a strong no that people did not want the trail. She did also have an opportunity to <br />watch the Park Commission meeting and it seemed to her that the trail was being very strongly <br />advocated by Mr. Boos rather than the Park Commission. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he did not want to see everyone installing 6 foot fences up <br />adjacent to open space because of a trail so he felt that the proposal of the sidewalk along 145th <br />Lane would resolve some of the concerns. <br /> <br />Todd Bjerstedt, Todd Allen Homes, stated that they would be very happy to work with the <br />Engineering department on drainage issues. He also noted that the minimum driveway length <br />being proposed was 22 feet and 90 percent of the cottage homes will not have children. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to adopt .Findings of Fact <br /># __ relating to a request to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single Family to PUD <br />Planned Unit Development. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
