Sin�le vs. multi-famil,y dwellings ,�objections 2 and 6�: Staff looked into the concerns brought up by residents regarding multiple families living in one home. These homes are classified as single family homes and do not meet the legal definition of multi-family dwelling, therefore, there is no legal action City can take. The properties are zoned R-1 single family, and have been assessed at one REU per property, except as noted. Desi�n-related concerns (objections 2, 4, 6 and 7�: Valentine Crest Road was constructed as designed and shown on the plans, at 28 feet from back of curb to back of curb. This, however, was a change from the feasibility report, where the road width was proposed to be 28 feet from face of curb to face of curb. During final design, this change was made to reduce impacts to residents' yards, to reduce the cost of the project, and to reduce the amount of stormwater treatment needed to meet the Rice Creek Watershed District's requirements for impervious surfaces. Additional parking restrictions are not proposed as a part of this project; the existing parking restrictions will remain in place. The utilities were reviewed during feasibility and final design, and improvements were made where needed. The sanitary sewer was replaced in its entirety on Valentine Court and several sections of Valentine Avenue from manhole to manhole. Sections of the sanitary sewer were replaced on Valentine Crest Road, where sags had been identified. Other sections of Valentine Crest Road have been identified as a future sanitary sewer-lining project. Only a portion of the watermain in the neighborhood was replaced. Watermain improvements on Valentine Crest Road consisted of gate valve and hydrant replacements. �ne property owner indicated that they incurred plumbing expenses as a result of the project. Staff has contacted the property owner and informed them that they may submit their claim if they would like it to be addressed.
