Four residents (representing two properties) attended this meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Munson residing at 5900 157 Lane expressed concern for the safety of children waiting for school buses or playing along 157 Lane which they felt warranted improvement even under the existing conditions. Mr. and Mrs. Grams residing at 15764 Osmium Street were in attendance primarily for informational purposes. In addition staff met with the two adjacent neighbors individually. Dan and Cindy Hostetler who reside at 5870 157 Lane indicated a preference for the status quo but would be open to considering a number of elements to mitigate the impact of the extension. Jason and Bonnie Hendricksen who reside at 5850 157 Lane expressed opposition with the proposal. Staff reiterated at the meetings with the residents the anticipated schedule outlined in the notification letter. Specifically it was stated that this issue would be discussed by the Public Works Committee at the regular March 20th meeting and that the recommendations of the Committee would be considered by the City Council at the March 27 meeting. Mr. Jason Hendricksen also appeared at the March 20, 2007 Public Works Committee meeting to reiterate his opposition to the extension of Neon Street. The Committee discussed with Mr. Hendricksen measures which could mitigate the impact which could include; landscaping, extension of his irrigation system, and the creation of buffer space by relocating the roadway westward The Rum River Meadows development will need to modify its right of way configuration from that of a cul de sac to a through street.
