• Page 3 City Council Minutes February 24, 1999 Ms. Jeri Glick Anderson, 1870 Roselawn, asked if it was possible to change the zoning from single family residential to something that would ensure the azea could retain its permanent green space. She told council the green space is why she and her husband chose to move to this azea and how they as well as some of their neighbors have made substantial improvements to their property thereby increasing the property value. She applauds looking at the area as a whole and doing whatever is necessary to protect the open space. Mr. Phil Eldred, 1753 Lindig, said he bought his house because it was on a dead-end street. He believes that the width of the street has not been addressed and there's not enough land to widen the street to accommodate through traffic. Ms. Megan Lund, 1805 Lindig, believes there would be more economic value to the city by leaving the street the way it is and according to the city's comprehensive plan, she understands it to read that the city intends to preserve its open spaces. Ms. Saza Lund, 1805 Lindig, questioned the possibility of building without street access . and was informed that the Behrens asked council to consider adopting an ordinance amending the city's code to permit property owners to get building permits to construct buildings on properties that are not adjacent to public streets. Ms. Lund asked how this would work and was told the Behrens access to their property would be permitted viva driveway off of Lindig Street with the intent to provide access from Lindig Street at some future date. Ms. Lund reminded council that the cul de sac and lot at that end of the street has become the playground area for the young children on the block. In response to a question about the city's process for making this decision, Attorney Knutson said that if the city council approved extending Lindig Street at the meeting, property owners along Lindig Street would be notified of the proposed extension through a series of required heazings and notices. There were no further comments from the audience. Mayor Gehrz asked Councilmember Talbot to read Resolution 96-07. Councilmember Hustad moved to approve Resolution 96-07. The motion passed unanimously. ADDENDUM TO AGENDA REQUEST TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3-1.01 STREET CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY CODE RELATED TO ISSUING • BUILDING PERMITS TO PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO PUBLIC STREETS
