All plat access is to occur through the street right-of-way or within the boundaries of the plat. This condition was added at the request of concerned citizens who experienced problems with other development in the area and to insure that there is not trespassing on their property. Council Member Bergeson asked for further information regarding Item No. 7. Ms. Wyland explained that there is a roadway easement that runs along the rear of the plat. There is a private driveway on the roadway easement that leads to a private residence. This property owner experienced problems during the construction of Woodridge Estates.

It was noted that some of the homes along the north side of White Pine Road will probably be affected by the roadway construction due to the close proximity of the homes to the street. Mr. Zewers said that he is "bummed" because the development plans have gotten this far without looking at such things as the current street not being in the place where it should have been. Because of this problem, his house was built too close to the road. Mr. Zewers explained that he purchased his house about four (4) years ago and was under the impression that the current road was correctly located.

Mr. Zewers felt that this will be a danger to his children. He also felt that if the roadway is made "straight as an arrow", drivers will be speeding in excess of 45 miles per hour. The only thing that slows traffic at this time is that the street narrows. Mr. Zewers said if the street is widened, there is no telling what PAGE 4
