102 COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987 preliminary. Mayor Benson felt that in this case it might not be easy or practical. Mayor Benson asked that the staff make sure that consideration is given to all adjacent landowners. Mrs. Imholte thanked the Council for listening to her concern. Candy St. Claire, 74th Street - Mrs. St. Claire said she has two concerns. The first involves access to the park on Leonard and Bradley Streets. There is an outlot that will someday be an extension of 74th Street to the west. Mrs. St. Claire asked if this outlot could be maintained as an access to the park. She noted that her children are small and she does not want them to go the long distance on the street to the park. The second concern is the condition of 74th Street. She noted that she has lived in her house for five years and nothing has been done with 74th although it is a city street with signs and is maintained from time to time. Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Menkveld owns a lot on the north side of 74th and he said he would be willing to participate in the cost of upgrading this street. It was also noted that the City owns Outlot G which would be the southern right of way if this street were to be upgraded. Mayor Benson asked that Mr. Kluegel and Mr. Schumacher follow through with Mr. Menkveld to determine the interest in upgrading 74th Street and determine a firm date when he is interested in seeing it completed. He also asked that Mrs. St. Claire talk to Mr. Volk and the Park Board regarding access to the park. He told Mrs. St. Claire that the staff would followup and respond to her concerns by letter. Steve Nice, 6509 - 24th Street - Mr. Nice explained that he represented several landowners who were opposed to the plan to change the land zoning in his area. Currently the requirements are one dwelling per ten acres and the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan is considering one dwelling per two and one half acres. Mr. Nice felt that since sewer is not intended to be extended into this area until well after the year 2000, the potential for contamination will increase. He also noted that his neighbors felt the Council was being pushed into considering smaller land requirements by potential developers and were not considering the desires of the present residents. Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Nice for appearing tonight. STATUS REPORT FROM THE CENTENNIAL FIRE COMMISSION - NEAL BENJAMIN Mr. Benjamin told the Council that he was before the Council tonight because of their request to answer three questions raised at the previous council meeting.
