City Council Minutes Page 3 January 16, 2001 Daryl Thompson, 20680 Watson Street - Mr. Thompson, representing the developer, stated that the lot sizes in this development are on average 30% larger than what the city requires. Mr. Thompson stated that if residents didn't want the parkland, then the developer would use it to build more houses.

Tim Franke, 19407 Dodge Street - Mr. Franke stated that if this development were to occur he believes that the traffic on 193r~ Avenue and Evans Avenue would be too dangerous.

Mr. Franke believes that the rezoning of this property from PUD to Rle was a mistake. Danelle Green, 19339 Carson Circle - Ms. Green questioned the size of the required three trees per lot and whether they could really be considered to replace the mature trees that have been around for years.
