Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 28, 1997 Page 5 . road would be constructed and paid for by the developer of the plat. Steve added all adjacent property owners would have access to the proposed road. Scott indicated there is approximately 20 - 25 feet between Mr. Hommes existing driveway and the travel lane of the proposed new roadway. Mr. Hommes questioned the possibility of 21 Oth becoming a major east-west corridor. Terry Maurer indicated the city has no plans and is looking more closely at an alternate location for an east-west corridor. Commissioner Cote asked Mr. Hommes if his neighbor to the west used his driveway. Mr. Hommes indicated the neighbor has his own driveway. Mr. Hommes further objected to the increased traffic near his property. Discussion followed regarding the history of Mr. Hommes property development and private road, and the concern for having a dead end road. Del Bowers, 20954 Ogden Avenue, expressed concern regarding snow removal and drainage run-off from the two roadways. He suggested the developer consider placing the road to the north of the property. Diane Kohl, 20936 Ogden, expressed concern for the 2-1/2 acre minimum lot size and felt it should be at least 5 acres, since the area is adjacent to what may potentially be a state park someday. She stated the gun range has an agreement with the DNR for first option to purchase. .

Mr. Brabec expressed his opposition to 210th being blacktopped. Teresa Hommes, 20962 Ogden, noted her concerns for the safety of her brothers and sisters due to traffic on the proposed road. Also, she felt flooding of their road would be worse in the spring. Diane Kohl felt there would be less damage to trees if the road were on the north side of the property. . Bill Christian, applicant, explained cooperation from the neighbor to the north would be necessary to place the proposed road on the north property line, and at this point, the neighbor is not interested. Mr. Christian noted that if they were to try to locate the road entirely on Mr. Lesnar's property, the two buildings on the north end of Mr. Lesnar's property are too close together to put the road between them. Mr. Christian stated they have tried but were unable to reach an agreement with Mr. Hommes to locate the road where his current driveway is, which would minimize some of the tree damage. Mr. Christian requested that the city not require blacktopping of the road, and was aware of the neighbors
