Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 1994 R -1X standards as to housing type. He added that of the 125 acres that the Whitcombs own, 55 acres are not buildable due to wetlands. They would like to see the R-1 size standards remain. COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS: Susan Walseth, 1101 Holly Drive, owns a 5 acre hobby farm and would rather see the R -1X zoning because of the reduction in density. She expressed some concerns regarding run-off on her pasture if the adjoining property is developed. Also protection from fertilizers and construction debris. Concerned about the cost of the sewer, where it would run, additional traffic on Holly Drive. She indicated that she was under the impression that the property was zoned Rural and was not aware of it when it was rezoned. She further indicated that she had told the City, when asked, that she did not want to be in the MUSA. Christopher Lyden, 6275 Holly Drive asked when the area south of Holly Drive was included into the MSUA. He also expressed concern about any additional crowding of the school district. He would like to see the area remain rural. The difference between R -1X and R-1 is like the difference between 3/4" and 1" - he would prefer 10"(10 acres). Mr. Brixius explained that the 1987 Comprehensive Plan showed MUSA on the north side of Holly Drive. In 1990 this was expanded with a Plan Amendment to include the 40+ acres to the south. Carolyn Dahl of Holly Court stated that she has a 10 acre parcel. If the choice is between R -1X and R-1 she would prefer the R-1. Additionally she expressed concern about 250 additional cars per day on Holly Drive. Ken Albrecht of 1210 Holly Drive stated that he owns the 30 acres east of the proposed Whitcomb development. He is a bow hunter and does not like the idea of development in the area. If the development has to come he would prefer to see the R -1X zoning. He also questions if the existing roadway would be able to handle the additional traffic and was worried about construction debris during construction. Al LaMotte of 6510 12th Avenue stated that he has received a lot of additional run-off since Brandywood was constructed. He feels like the "little man that is being shit on". He would rather see the property R -1X than R-1 but would prefer no development. Al DeMotts, 6265 Holly Drive would prefer the R -1X. He expressed concerns regarding crowding of the schools and additional traffic. 10
