while having and being assessed for city water and sewer. It was the only parcel in the City under such circumstances that attempted.to develop. Mr. Deemer stated if the County wants to restrict access to CR 5 with all of these parcels, maybe the County should build a right-in/right- out service lane within the CR 5 right-of-way to service these properties. Regarding the 100 year stormwater retention pond, for the public record he was on the Planning Commission at the time that Wood Pond Hills was developed. Wood Pond Hills was instructed to calculate their storm drainage and stormwater system to handle the drainage from these parcels of land. Mr. Deemer stated this came about because previous development was forced to calculate drainage on it from water that drained onto his property from other people's parcels. He stated due to this, these parcels should not need stormwater retention basins. He questioned new developers or owners having the rights of approval the Council gave over the denials of this Board. Mr. Deemer stated he also understands that no notices were sent to the adjacent properties about those people going to the Council; he did not receive a notice. He also wants to mention that the parcel immediately north of this was designated a variance to develop, while this parcel requires several variances as , it is proposed. Mr. Derwood Sagwold stated he is the owner of the one acre lot adjacent to the north of this property. It is a very marginal lot. He would like to know how this plan with the temporary cul- de-sac will affect his property. There is also property to the north that is marginal, and the property to the south is kind of marginal. All three of these properties should be developed at the same time to be sure everything is done correctly and that there is complete agreement. His question is the effect of this temporary cul-de-sac on the rest of the land to the north. Mr. Anthony Wellman, representing Ramsey Assembly of God, stated the church owns the two acre parcel of property just north of Derwood's property that comes to Nowthen Boulevard and 146th Avenue NW. The church seems to have an improper mail delivery address with the County, so the paperwork went to the property, and no one was there to receive it. Derwood has notifIed him of these meetings. The map for this plat will show that the frontage road is to go along CR 5, and it is supposed to end in the cul-de-sac. As it is named Helium Street they expect it is supposed to cross the properties to the north and eventually join up with Helium Street. As they understand it, no one wants it to outlet at l46th Avenue atthe corner of CR 5, which makes sense due to traffIc complications. The only reasonable change they see that could be made effective from their vantage point of the further north properties, is as Derwood and Ben suggested to go through the back side of the properties. That idea has been stopped because there are individual property owners on the west side of their property that would have to be considered losing some of their property as well. Mr. Welhnan stated the way this plan looks; this frontage road will go through their property. Instead of exiting the property on the north side it will turn left on Ramsey Assembly of God's property, taking another parcel of land, and then turn and go to the west of 146th, not exiting until it reaches the northwest corner to join with Helium Street. Mr. Wellman stated there is a row of pine trees that borders the property of the individuals as well as theirs. It would be more conducive to move those pine trees and run the road along the back~ side, giving fairness to all the owners involved of having less property taken. Outlots B and C could be moved forward with the road run between them. His intention tonight is to make note again for the second time that they have a conflict of interest in that it seems this will allow a developer to have monopoly on the land usage in planning that might forcefully P4 Planning Commission/ February 1, 2007 Page 4 of 12
