Planning Commission Minutes October 26, 1995 Page 10 . Scott Brobeck, 13822 208th Avenue, felt that the policies listed under the goal for an east-west corridor assumes that there is a need for one. Chair Kuester pointed out that the goal reads, "explore the possible need". Ruth Brown, 10815 Tyler Street, expressed her objection to the collector line referred to as "E." under Item 1. Collector Links. (193rd Avenue between U.S. Highway 169 and County Road 13 (Tyler Street)). She stated that a link in this location would cross through her property. Robin Tuttle expressed her concern that this issue was being discussed after the audience was told it would not be discussed and people here for this issue have already left the meeting. Bill Zacarda, 13346 Ranch Road, questioned why the Planning Commission feels they must hear comments on the east-west corridor. He stated he felt many people did not come to the meeting because they were told it would not be discussed. Mr. Zacarda questioned what is happening with the committee that was suggested by the Steering Committee to review this issue. Peter Beck stated that the specific plan is not being discussed and citizens are being allowed to expressed their comments only. Chair Kuester stated that the Planning Commission cannot legally make a motion to close discussion on the transportation plan when the public hearing is still open. .
