Steering Committee Meeting Minutes <br />March 23, 1995 <br />Page 4 <br />Jerry Richoias, property owner on County Road 12, questioned why the City is <br />pursuing the extension of city water and sewer, rather than waiting for a petition <br />from the land owners. He stated that if his property is assessed he will be forced <br />to sell his property. <br />Jerry Hofhenke, 15860 228th Avenue NW, stated that residents in the southeast <br />area enjoy their peace and quiet and their privacy. He added that the smaller <br />lot sizes and road to be discussed later goes against what the residents have <br />told them they want. He asked that the Committee listen to what the people <br />want. <br />Chair Minton stated that the City can not stop development and that the <br />Committee's job is to see that it happens in an orderly fashion. <br />Chris Kreger explained that the Committee is attempting to define an area that <br />can accept city water and sewer eventually. He added that this does not <br />mean it will actually go in; that is a City Council budget issue. Chris stated that <br />he wants the City to have some control over the growth. <br />Merry Sipe stated that she feels the plans being proposed are projecting 30 <br />years into the future, not 5, 10 or 15 years. <br />Hank Duitsman stated that there are commercial business owners east on <br />Highway 10 who want sewer and water.

He <br />explained that the design of the sewer trunk line will be sized according to how <br />
