Planning & Zoning Board January 8, 2003 Page 23 Chair Schaps stated he does not know but if a street project is approved then benefiting properties are assessed a portion of the cost. Mr. McDonald stated if the traffic is increased then the street will need to be improved. He stated he has lived on a cul -de -sac for 12 years and putting Carl Street through would ruin his life. He asked them to move the connection to the stub that is under the power line wires where there is an easement. Mike Blazek, owner of Lot 10 on Carl Street, stated this is the first meeting he has been able to attend and he agrees with what Mr. McDonald said about not putting through Carl Street. He stated he planned to build on his beautiful cul -de -sac lot and believes that extending Carl Street would ruin his lot. He agreed with the suggestion that the street be aligned under the power lines. Mr. Blazek stated there is already a jog in the street and when he purchased the lot the selling point was that it was on a cul -de -sac. He stated he is also a licensed pilot. Mr. Blazek stated he thinks extending Carl Street is an extremely bad idea. Dave Ramsden, 302 Carl Street, stated he does not want to see Carl Street extended. He stated if there is an easement under the power lines that should be considered instead of wrecking a nice quiet neighborhood. Glenn Martig, 376 Carl Street, stated he also has an issue with Carl Street going through. He stated that since Phase 1 and 2 are not going in for several years, the decision on Carl Street can be delayed and then it will be known what will happen with the sod field property. He stated he was told it would remain a cul -de -sac. Mr. Martig stated that Lots 4 and 9 do make a good buffer, he thinks they make good neighbors, and do not make a lot of noise. He stated that he thinks Lots 1, 2, and 3 are also a good idea since it will provide a buffer. Mr. Martig stated the more people who are Airpark and pilot -aware it will educate the neighborhood. He stated that trespassing across a private lot is less likely to happen if a private home is built on Lot 9. Mr. Martig stated if Carl Street has to go through, he would support the "T" intersection rather than a four -way stop. He stated he thinks that provides a calming effect and he does not think Carl Street has to go through. Jeff Kolstad, 296 Carl Street, reviewed the history of their development and explained that a permanent cul -de -sac was placed in 1996 due to parameters in place at that time by the Council and watershed restrictions. He stated that he had to place his house in such a way due to the wetland delineation and since he would be the most effected with Carl Street being jogged and extended, it would impact his property evaluation. He stated the developer and residents said they would come up with other alternatives to Carl Street going through. In addition, the sod farmer has said he wants to sell and developers are lined up to develop it. He stated this is about future planning and not ramming through a road. He rebutted the fact about the traffic flows not working since there is a traffic study. He stated the sod fields will be developed in the future depending on the City's forecast for developing. He stated that a decision needs to be made and all Carl Street DRAFT MINUTES
