062 <br />COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 14, 1988 <br />Mike Pojar, 6255 Red Maple Lane - Mr. Pojar felt that Fox <br />Road would not be a benefit to the residents of Colonial <br />Woods. <br />Steve Slatten, 6283 Red Maple Lane - Mr. Slatten explained <br />that his lot is at the corner of Red Maple Lane and Fox <br />Road. He noted he has lived there ten years and moved there <br />because of the atmosphere, the house was reasonably priced <br />and the lot was large. He was told the land to the north <br />would never be developed. He said he wanted to salvage some <br />of the unique character of his area and this could be done <br />by eliminating Fox Road. He said he chose to live on Red <br />Maple Lane knowing the risk regarding safety and he <br />preferred to keep it this way. <br />Mr. Slatten also expressed a personal concern regarding <br />erosion, dust and damage to trees during construction. He <br />noted that Mr. Uhde has tried to allay some of these fears. <br />He suggested that Mr. Uhde make some lots largers to make a <br />gradual transition to Colonial Woods but Mr. Udhe was not <br />receptive to this idea. He also noted that the Council <br />represented the citizens as elected officials and felt the <br />Council should listen to their concerns and want to help <br />them. <br />Debra Palmquist, 6216 Red Maple Lane - Mrs. Palmquist noted <br />that there will be 180 houses in Reshanau Lakes Estates <br />South and they will all be coming south through Fox Road. <br />She felt that probably no more than fifteen houses are <br />likely to go north to Birch Street. Mr. Bisel said he could <br />not envision this happening and explained why would traffic <br />exit through Fox Road to 62nd Street. Traffic would have to <br />stop at Ware Road before it goes to Ash Street. This would <br />not be convenient. <br />Mr. Pojar said if the Council is convinced traffic will not <br />use Fox Road, why put it in. Mr. Bisel explained because of <br />emergency reasons. <br />Ron Swenson, 6310 Red Maple Lane - Mr. Swenson noted that <br />Red Maple Lane is basically a long cul -de -sac and also noted <br />that Mr. Uhde is also building some cul -de -sacs and asked <br />how Red Maple Lane was any different from the cul -de -sacs in <br />Reshanau Lake Estates South. He felt the Red Maple Lane was <br />not subject to any more risks that any other cul -de -sac. <br />Mr. Reinert suggested placing a gravel road at Fox Drive. <br />It would have to be plowed, in the winter.
