Planning Commission Minutes — December 22, 2005 Page 3 Gary Mulchay, partner and owner of the property, pointed out that the flag lots would be nice lots to live on and the meandering sidewalks required the houses to be setback. He suggested the possibility of purchasing an easement from the property owner to the north to provide for the road stubbed on the property line. Schumann opened the public hearing. John Thurman, 5854 128th Alcove North, said that no one would use the trail access to the park (which was proposed to go south around the perimeter of the outlot) and to get rid of the flag lots that clustered the homes in the back. He also was concerned about the increase in traffic and asked if the property behind him was buildable. The Planner answered that it was all part of Outlot A and there was no access to it because it was mostly wet. Schumann informed the applicant that it would be difficult to fill in the wetland but it could be done with mitigation. Paul Lundsten, 5860 128th Alcove N., said he was told the easement adjacent to his property was for sewer and he had put a fence where the walking path had been proposed. He said he would rather see the path around the wetland. He asked if the outlot owned by Peltier would have piles of rock and dirt on it. The Planner said there was no recorded of any home occupation on the site. The existing shed would be removed. Ludsten said was concerned that he would still store rock and gravel there as well as bobcats and bulldozers. Mary and Jim Zerwas, 12725 Goodview Avenue North, said the dip in Goodview Avenue would be a problem because you would not be able to see the cars. They also questioned why an emergency access (which shares their driveway) was required when Hidden Hills was developed, and the proposed development was not required to provide the same. Schumann said it could have been due to the length of the cul-de-sac. Jim Zerwas said the road does not get plowed like the agreement with the Hidden Hills HOA requires. He recalled the numerous items hauled back onto the Peltier property that were burned and buried, and suggested an environmental study be done. Julie Larson, 5857 128th Bay North, said there was more than a shed on the property. She had concerns about Peltier's home being directly behind hers, the wetland being decreased, and traffic increased by the proposed development. Jim Engstrom, corner of 125th and Goodview Avenue North, asked if there was going to be a limitation on building height and whether Goodview would be utilized for any utilities.
