September 2, 1980 Page Two Councilman Toth expressed concerns of the citizens of the neighborhood, re- garding the apartment building now on the south side and an additional pro- posed apartment building on the north side. Mr. Jack Holmes, Mr. Jerry Berg, Mr. Serringer, Joyce Toth, Julie and Norm Kastendick, Dennis Rondeau, Mr. Leon Beaudry, Mr. Don Cooper and Mr. Jim Voight all. expressed their opposition to the proposed concept of linking the residential street in the P.U.D. to Fawn Drive. The concensus of the citizens was that the linking of the two streets would create excess traffic through Elk Hills, caused by the commercial district and the residential area.. Mr. Zack Johnson asked the Council and the citizens for comments regarding the concept of the Planned Unit Development. Concern of the proposed high density planned was expressed by Mr. Norman Kastendick, Jim Voight and Julie Kastendick. The general concensus of the citizens was the object- ion to the linking street. The City Administrator asked the City Planner, Mr. Zack Johnson, to present an alternative plan to the Council regarding the traffic problem. Mr. Zack Johnson presented Concept C., a plan with cul-de-sacs at the end of Line Avenue and at the end of Fawn Drive in the P.U.D., and a temporary cul-de-sac to the east of the P.U.D. with the same approximate density planned for the development. Councilman Duitsman indicated that the P1annea Unit Development should be serviced by the new sewer interceptor line rather than the sewer line to the south on 5th Street. Mr. Zack Johnson indicated that the preliminary proposal by the City Engineers was that the development could be gravity-fed to the 5th Street sewer line. Mayor Madsen indicated that Mr. Gary Santwire should proceed with preliminary plans for the Planned Unit Development, based on the Concept C. presented to the City Council. 6. Elk River Community Theater Request Mr. Les Anderson, Mr. Cliff Lundberg, and Elaine Anderson were present in behalf of the Elk Rive Community Theater, to request financial assistance for the organization. Mr. Les Anderson indicated the organization is ex- periencing financial difficulties due to increased costs of production and services, because of increases in costs of scripts, royalty fees, janitorial and electrical costs, and further indicated the organization would not be able to continue operating at a deficit in order to bring entertainment to the community. The City Administrator indicated that City staff had suggested the request be included with the Recreation Board request to be considered for the 1981 Budget. Councilman Duitsman asked if the organization had approached other organizations, for example, the United Fund, for financial support. Elaine Anderson indicated that there were, on occasion, grants available, which the organization does apply for when possible and available. Mayor Madsen indicated the request for $2,000.00 by the Elk River Community Theater, would be considered with the Recreation Board Budget request for the 1981 Budget.
