Planning & Zoning Board <br />September 11, 2002 <br />Page 12 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />Staff noted the property on which this hypothe tical road would be built is guided as a <br />Stage 2 (post 2010) area. Because of this, it will not be allowed to develop for some <br />time, if ever. In addition, the comprehens ive plan clearly requires decreasing the amount <br />of annual growth. There is no way to know wh en this property will be developed and the <br />road will be built. <br />Mr. Lyden stated his first point of concern was whether a road was 44 feet wide or 36 <br />feet wide and noted that were would be a lot of pedestrians using the road. He stated he <br />believed they would need to have a trail in this area also. Mr. Smyser replied they were <br />proposing a 36-foot wide road with a trail on the side, se parated from the road. He <br />pointed out if they were just doing it as a lo cal road, they would need to go back and look <br />at the design. <br />John Johnson, Director of Engineering, Metro Land Surveying & Engineering, 412 <br />County Road D, Little Canada, asked they ad dress the collector roads tonight only so <br />they could move on with the design. He presented diagrams of the proposal for the <br />Board’s review and comment. <br />Mr. Zych noted that emergency vehicle access was an issue that needed to be addressed. <br />Mr. Johnson agreed. <br />Mr. Zych noted his concern wa s not just for emergency vehi cles, but for public concern <br />as well. <br />Mr. Corson stated they would not be making any decisions tonight, but would be giving <br />direction. <br />Chair Schaps asked what other options would they have to make an east-west connection. <br />Mr. Johnson replied there were no other options. <br />Chair Schaps asked if he believed it was a good idea to create two air park <br />neighborhoods. Mr. Johnson replied there wa s already a north and south air park <br />neighborhood. He indicated there was no connect ion between the east and west lots on <br />the south side because of a ditch. He stated the neighbors had asked they create <br />additional air park lots. He stated as far as if it was important for the air park <br />neighborhood to be connected, the neighbors woul d be the best ones to ask that question <br />to. <br />Bonnie Bigler, 346 Carl Street, stated the air strip was the neighborhood and that was <br />what connected them. She indicated they had no problem having any other type of a <br />connection. <br />Mike Cirese (?sp), 215 Palomino Lane, agreed that the air strip was the community. He <br />pointed out a group of people with a common in terest formed a tight bond. He stated this <br />was a good community to live in and noted ro ads would not divide them. He stated he <br />supported his community and if there was a wa y to have Carl Street remain the way it <br />was, that was what he supported.
