• Planning & Zoning Board September 11, 2002 Page 13 Chair Schaps asked if it would drastically affect him, if it were extended. Mr. Cirese replied it would not affect him, but he could see his neighbor's point of view regarding traffic. Dave Ramsden, 302 Carl Street, stated he was against this proposal. He indicated he did not understand why emergency vehicle access came into play right now. He indicated he did not like the curving of the proposed road and expressed concern that the road would be too close to the ditch. Jim Obowa, representative of Lino Air Park, stated he had seen the plans and from the neighborhood's perspective, they would want the connector road to the north and not on Carl Street. Chair Schaps asked if he understood the concerns about the emergency vehicle access. Mr. Obowa replied he did. Mr. Lyden stated he had not seen anything from the police department, fire department, etc. that there was a concern and requested seeing something in writing. Mr. Smyser replied they would follow -up and obtain a report. Mr. Zych noted that this was an opportunity to do this right and allow for sufficient • emergency vehicle access. Chuck Kolstad, 296 Carl Street, expressed concern about the "jogging" of the proposed Carl Street. He noted an emergency vehicle would not make this jog without considerably slowing down. He stated he did not want arrows in his front yard indicating the street curved to the right. He indicated an emergency vehicle could not make it any faster into the development by taking Carl because of the jogs in the road. He stated he believed the City already had their mind made up to put Carl Street through. He expressed concern about vehicles ending up in his front yard or house because they could not make the turn. He stated most residents on Carl Street were opposed to this. He urged the Board to see his point of view as a homeowner in the City. Tom Schmelzer, 398 Carl Street, supported the connection of Carl Street. He expressed concern about dividing up the neighborhood by not expanding Carl Street. He stated it was unfortunate developments were not integrated as a main design. He expressed concern for the safety of landing aircraft. Glenn Martig, 376 Carl Street, agreed with Mr. Kolstad that with two outlets going to Sunset should be adequate for emergency vehicles and the proposed bends in Carl Street, was dangerous. He stated they had been told they would be living on a cul -de -sac. He pointed out anybody moving into the new development would know where the collector street were, but they were told they had a cul -de -sac. Mr. Lyden made a MOTION to continue the Public Hearing to the October, 2002 Planning & Zoning Board Meeting. APPROVED MINUTES
