Page 6 <br />September 26, 1995 <br />Ms. Trude stated when she reviewed the notes from the two meetings held in <br />June, it was apparent that this is the direction the public thought the Council <br />was going. She was bothered by the section in the clause which talked <br />about the loss of an extremely high amount of mature trees. This could be <br />interpreted differently by an engineer than by the neighborhood itself. <br />Problems may be viewed differently by residents than by engineers. She feels <br />the fourth paragraph of the resolution allows too much room for staff and <br />council to make decisions. She has heard from a lot of residents throughout <br />the summer and talked to some people who live on Fairchild recently who are <br />very concerned about the impact on their green space. <br />Ms. Hankner stated she is comfortable with the resolution, with the exception of <br />the fourth paragraph. She feels there should be a neighborhood meeting. <br />Ms. Orduno suggested that this paragraph be changed to read "...required <br />such as timber walls, or reductions of driveway slopes, the streets may be <br />constructed to a minimum width of 28 feet as determined by the feasibility <br />study as outlined in Section (XXX) of Chapter 202 and approval of a majority of <br />the homeowners of the affected street". <br />Ms. Hankner stated she feels if residents request that the street width be <br />reduced to 28 feet or increased to 32 feet, they must have just cause. <br />Ms. Trude stated the resolution does not address impacts to the landscape <br />plans or the feeling of the neighborhood in the sense of community. There is <br />not going to be a concern about pulling out bushes, etc. <br />Mayor Linke stated if a resident has a bush that is planted on the city/county <br />right-of-way, <br />it isn't their property in the first place. <br />Ms. Hankner noted that there is a sentence in paragraph four of the resolution <br />which states "...or be determined to be a detriment to the neighborhood such <br />as but not limited to, ..." <br />Ms. Tnade asked who determines whether or not it will be a detriment to the <br />neighborhood. <br />Ms. Hankner stated ultimately it is a Council decision. However, if amended as <br />suggested by Ms. Orduno, it is determined by a feasibility study and approval <br />of a majority of the residents on the affected street. <br />• <br />
