<br />Mayor.Gamec stated if the City moves forward with the road they will have the Cost of doing it. <br />The best thing is to let the development occur. Currently smaller developments are having mu~h <br />better luck developing than large parcels. He asked if apartments are allow-ed. here, which the <br />owner of the middle parcel has expressed interest in. <br /> <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik replied no, the property is zoned for four to <br />seven units per acre. The property would need to be rezoned to R.3 to allow apartments. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig expressed his disagreement with an apartment building being allowed on <br />the adjacent property. HiUndicated if that individual thinks that is what it will take to cash flow, <br />it will not happen. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look cOtnmented the Council is being put in a difficult situation to approve a <br />project that could lead to a serious accident, or to>acquire some property. He asked how these <br />properties can be assesse9 for the expense the City would incur if they are forced down the road <br />of acquiring property to avoid an accident. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that is the City's responsibility and thatis a decision that would be made <br />based on accident rates. The biggest accident rate happens to be on Alpine Drive and County <br />Road 5. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich indicated Mr. Boe is represented by legal couhsel tonight. <br /> <br />Mr. Gordon Jenson, Attorney representing the applicant Mr. Boe, stated he has gone through the <br />minutes. He has looked at the traffic reports and the City reports,arl<:i'has seen the letter from the <br />City to the County one year after this was submitted. It seems to him the. County letter drafted in <br />May of 2007 to the May 2006 request states that a temporary permit would be acceptable. It <br />does not say how long temporary would be. They are lookillgthat it would not be the permanent <br />I access; ultimately development can occur. He believes the developer has met. everything he <br />could meet or should meet for approval based on the traffic reports, the time that has gone into it, <br />and that the developer has. agreed to participate in working wit4.theprop~rtyoWI1ers to the north, <br />as well as 1/3 to 1/2 of the site being taken for roads. They are here tonight not to be tabled <br />again; they would like this to come to a vote. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated last week the Council approved a daycarewith 100 children coming out on <br />County Road 5. That is approximately 200 trips per day. So looking at traffic counts, there is <br />more and more constantly going on Count)' Road 5,andt~ey know that. COt111ty Road 5 will <br />eventually need to be upgraded. Traffic is more of the City's concern than theCoupty or anyone <br />else. His personal feeling is that to the north there are 400 plus hqmes coming out onCoupty <br />Road 5 all on one exit. Tbe traffic on County Road 5 will ~ncrease and he believes even if there . <br />are 24 units in here it will not change it compared to Brookfield, ... or the 9aycare, or !)everal <br />others. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated with respect to the last Council meeting, the Council approved a <br />deli, not a daycare. He would not want to mislead the people.that the Council is allowing 200 <br />.. ": <br /> <br />City Councill August14;2P07 <br />Page 13 of32 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
