MAYOR WOODBURN: I think they deserve to see it. Maybe you would want to show them - we could put it up here. . MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: I hope everyone can see this. The lighter lines are the topography that is in place and the darker lines are grading that we're going to accomplish. As an example, from here - Snelling - there would be a cut along the road and, in partial answer to the tree question, we will leave this slope as steep as we can, leaving as many trees as we can. The ultimate home buyer/builder will set out the trees and driveway as necessary. When you come around here, this gets into a fill. This is the pond that you mentioned. There will be some fill around here. Then here, this is where there is .a sharp slope here - we intend to fill back this far and these become (inaudible) all backing up on the pond. The actual pond is right in here. When I talked about this being low, it's only low to where the road is. So in order to - if we wanted to actually improve this or put a cul-de-sac down here or something like that - it would take an immense amount of grading, andwe're just not going to do that. This is going to remain larger lots. (Inaudible conversation between those looking at the map.) A little bit of grading here and a little bit of grading to accomplish this road. Now, the tree line is right here, so the edge of the roadway goes right up the tree line here - I hope everyone can see that - and, of course, we have to cut through the trees right here. We cut out this section of the road just for that reason, plus we . like cul-de-sac lots - deadend lots. MAYOR WOODBURN: I recognize this isn't really part of the storm sewer, etc. , but we'll still answer any questions. Any further questions? MR. ADOLPH MILLER, 3609 North Pascal: Why couldn't we put up a deadend street there and save that extra assessment? MAYOR WOODBURN: neadend street on Wesley? MR. MILLER: On Pascal. MAYOR WOODBURN: Well, it's a deadend without the hammer- head. We haven't said there would be an assessment for that. There could be, perhaps. There are several reasons that this has been considered to be put in. One of them is fire protec- . tion. They don't like things where they can't back up and get out of the way - get trapped, and things like this. The second reason for it is snow storage. Those are. two that I can think of right off hand. MR. MAX STOUTENBURG, 1435 West County Road E: Is there a limited time, once they develop this land, before all the housing and stuff has to be built in there? Or can he develop . it and ten years later maybe the final housing will be built in there? 10
