founds View City Council June 12, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Seven -------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Mr. Olson stated they already have trucks and other traffic in their area, looking for the business park. on the north side, and they do-not want any more that would come with development. Mayor Hankner stated they had not received any phone calls or any indication of concern about this issue until the past week, even though it has been discussed many times already. Mary Paone, 5240 O'Connell Drive, asked why the road extension is needed. Mayor Hankner explained that in July 1980, as part of the Comp Plan for the City, the extension of Woodale Drive was. approved for implementation. with. any future development in that area, for health and safety reasons. She pointed out they had only received one complaint about it as of last week, even though. it has been discussed numerous times, going all the way back to 1980. She added she had gone back through City records and prepared a listing which was available to the residents, showing the numerous times this was discussed, and she did not find any record of objection to the extension of Woodale in any previous discussions. . Norman Burrows, 5200 O'Connell Drive, stated he did not know the road was proposed to go through. Mayor Hankner explained an informational meeting was held, articles appeared in the newspapers, and notice was given, informing the residents of the meetings:. She added the Council uses the Comp Plan and Zoning Code to review developments, and is following the guidelines of both. She pointed out this proposed development has been on the Council agenda several times, and the Council has been asking for comments: and concerns up front, and has requested input from the residents. She further pointed out the Planning Commission reviewed the development using both. the Comp Plan and Zoning Code. William McCullough, 5269 Greenfield, asked why that was adopted in 1980 when the houses have been there for 20 years. Mayor Hankner explained that in the 70's', the State required cities to adopt a Comp Plan. She added she was not personally involved in City government at that time. She also pointed out th.e public hearing process prior to adoption, and residents could. have voiced any objections then. Greg Flatten, 5229 0"Connell, asked why it took. this proposed development to come along, if the City was. concerned about the health. and safety in 1980.
