<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />INFORMATION <br /> <br /> <br />Howard R. Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />FROM: Terry J. Maurer <br /> <br />DATE: March 25, 1999 <br /> <br />RE: AUBURN STREET INFORMATION MEETING MINUTES <br /> <br />PROJECT: 806610J-0325 <br /> <br />Notices were sent to all residents of Hillside Estates 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and ih Addition <br />regarding the informational meeting held at City Hall, Thursday, March 25, 1999, at 6:00 <br />p.m. The sign-up sheet is attached and contains approximately 46 names. There may <br />have been others in attendance that did not put their name on the sign-up sheet. Also in <br />attendance were Council Member Daryl Thompson and City Engineer Terry Maurer. <br />City Engineer Terry Maurer presented a brief history of the Hillside Estates <br />Development. An exhibit was presented showing the concept of the whole development <br />approved in early 1992. Highlighted on the exhibit were the seven additions currently <br />developed. It was indicated that the first seven additions of Hillside Estates have <br />followed reasonably close to the approved concept plan from 1992. The preliminary plat <br />of Hillside Estates 9th Addition which was recently approved by the Planning <br />Commission, was also discussed showing that it is the future development of the <br />southeast corner of the Hillside Estates area. <br /> <br />Terry Maurer went on to discuss the history of concerns and comments relevant to traffic <br />on Auburn Street. Terry indicated that last year the City Council, based on a <br />recommendation from the Police Department, approved installing speed bumps along <br />Auburn Street. Due to neighborhood objection, the speed bumps were never installed. <br />A group of Auburn Street residents continue to meet with Terry to discuss other options <br />and hit upon the concept of potentially cul-de-sacing Auburn Street from both the north <br />and south in the power line easement. In 1998, the City Council directed staff to hold <br />this informational hearing as the next Hillside Estates addition moved forward. It was <br />clearly stated at the informational hearing that the developer was not opposed to this but <br />was unwilling to pay for it and that the City Council last year had also shown the <br />willingness to help the neighborhood but stopped short of agreeing to pay for any <br />improvements. Therefore, it was indicated at the hearing that the purpose was to <br />discuss the concept and if there was a desire to move forward by both the residents and <br />the City Council, the next step would be to discuss options for funding and implementing <br />the proposed improvements. <br /> <br />o./proj ./80661 OJ/0325/61 0-0401 April99 1 <br />1326 Energy Park Drive. 81.
