• • Planning & Zoning Board August 14, 2002 Page 29 State, County, and Municipal laws and Ordinances. The City officers are not above the law. They are as bound as the developer and the residents. 5. The City in its pursuit of the Comprehensive Plan and considerations for future developments have not paused enough to review the impact this planning is having on current residents. The City planners must consider all parties impacted by such planning: Government agency requirements like the DNR, Rice Creek Watershed, Federal Wetlands Acts, input from engineers, and most importantly the opinions and concerns of current residents. Carl Street was engineered and developed in accordance with the laws, rules and ordinances at the time — all of which are still relevant today. Extending Carl Street without the proper regard for this history and recognition of the current status is irresponsible use of municipal power. 6. The current development proposed by Mr. Gary Udhe (sic) has several realistic alternatives to emergency vehicle ac ess. Mr. Uhde (sic) has expressed his concern as well that extending Carl Street is not ption nor advantageous to his project. Please refer to plat designs for his ® el 7.

Please keep informed of working sessions and progress on the decisions the Ci yo empl`'about this subject. Mr. Kolstad presented to 7nyser a petition signed by 15 residents on Carl Street expressing their objection tof the extension of Carl Street. Mr. Lyden stated it was his belief that Carl Street was not just a street, but it was a neighborhood and an existing neighborhood should not be destroyed for the benefit of a new development.
