We have a petition with 118 names and a letter signed by 8 property owners, and a letter from Daryl Burlin all in opposition. The meeting was opened to public comment. Blake Jones, 411 Chesapeake, he lives directly to the north of the project. The vehicles might protrude into the road way with the set back the way that it is. Consistently of cities recommendations for the surrounding properties. All the surrounding properties are R -1. This is /'1 not consistent with the surrounding properties. Land Use and Development Commission October 4, 2005 Page 2 Verlyn Ashton, We need to look at the surrounding areas. As property owners they would like to get together to discuss where the city is going to go in their plans for the area. They want to do something in the long term picture to benefit both owners and city. Services are an issue. We need to look at the big picture. Access road the opening is 457" not 50'. Maybe this isn't the right place to access the property. The changes are drastic. How many times do we need to go through this. Ken Smith, 5401 Whitaker he is afraid that any addition property for the road will come off their property. The traffic levels are a concern. The citizens have already decided this is not a good idea for this area. This is not a good fit and it should not be in this area. Wendy Velman 5157 Whitaker, they don't have the 50' right of way on the back of their property. How will that affect their property when they want the road to go all the way through. She agrees with everything that has been said tonight. They need to get together with a common goal for the future of the city. David Rapp, 5095 Marie there are 26 of these areas along Whitaker Road where there are houses in front and property in back. Are they going to have 26 more developments on the back of Whitaker. He is opposed to the density. People brought to have land in back for different reasons and now they are growing houses. Darris Ellis, 912 Sawtooth, P.U.D. means developing a community not one little place to develop the ground. We need to be consistent as a city in our planning for the future growth. Dixie Ashton, 5369 Whitaker, it just doesn't fit. A few homes back there would be OK. Eric Gardner, 625 Darris he is here with his Scout son for a merit badge. They choose Chubbuck because it was a little more opened. He disagrees with this. Verin Ashton, 5369 Whitaker, How do we calculate common space. Anything outside of the foundation is outside of our common space. They would have three acres of foundations and one acre of driveways and grass. Robert Heuseveldt, The access road will be 45' at the front of the property. Driveway will be 20' and is sufficient. The commission discussed: 1. Entrance to the street - they are asking for an exception 2. No sidewalk on the south side. /'N 3. The 50' easement in the back of the property for condemnation 4. The Commission serving to help our neighbors and friends 5. If this was infill 6. The history of P.U.D.
