Mr. Lehnhoff stated the applicant has not indicated future plans. He outlined the requirements applicant would need to meet in order to put in a duplex, With respect to future assessments, he did not have that information, but there would be sufficient room for a driveway. Me. LaValle expressed concern about emergency vehicles access in the area. Commissioner Larson asked if the entire right-of-way had been used. Mr. Lehnhoff . responded he did not have that information. Commissioner McClung stated he was not aware of any concerns from the Fire Department in this area, so he did not believe one additional property in this area would be so burdensome that the street would need to be rebuilt before the streets were slated for rebuilding. Julie Jones, 4030 Valentine Court, noted this was a tight circle and the garbage truck could not make the cirele without backing up. She noted as more driveways were added, this would be more problematic and this was a concern of hers. She indicated the access was on a very sharp curve, which might create a potential danger. Dennis Claridge, 3300 Katie Lane, applicant, asked what the park dedication fee was going to be. He believed the fee was too high. He indicated he agreed with all of the conditions with the exception of the park dedication fee.

Chair Sand asked what his proposal was for future development. Mr. Claridge responded they would definitely not build townhomes on the site and he was proposing to build singlc-family homes. . 2
