I V�' PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING HELD AUGUST 6, 1996 PUBLIC HEARING — Rezoning of the Hensel Property Rockey Goertz stated he re -did the sketch plan to address the concerns that were expressed at the last public hearing. The proposal of rezoning has changed in that the request is for R2 instead of R2A. A portion of the property is already zoned correctly for the project. Mr. Goertz stated having Main Street as an exit should alleviate some of the traffic concerns. Dave Nyberg stated that without doing a traffic study the flow of traffic would be hard to determine. The exit to Main Street is a good alternative, he agreed. Mr. Nyberg added that Centerville Road should be a collector street. Don Simonson, 7263 Centerville Road, said that this proposal was an inlet to the traffic problems not an outlet. Mr. Simonson went on to say he would like to reiterate John Buck-bee's comments from the last public hearing regarding bigger lots.

And this collector is in the long range transportation plan to have Centerville Road go through. Mr. Nyberg commented that roads have to go by schools, Westview goes in front of it. Mr. Simonson stated the traffic concern is the increase of traffic that would go by the school.

It devalues the properties and is creating traffic problems. Need to do what is best for the city, Mr. Schweppe commented. Mr. Nyberg stated the city has limits for the length of cul -de -sacs and for fire protection there needs to be more than one connection. Mr. Nyberg stated the Fire Marshal needs to comment whether that would be acceptable. Drilling suggested eliminating the connection to the north and leaving the rest basically the same. And questioned whether there is a way to appease the public. Mr. Nyberg stated that if the zoning is approved the developer would have to prepare a preliminary plat. Mr. Nyberg stated he provided three options for water service and also mentioned the sewer at Centerville Road is shallow and may have to look at alternate routes for a portion
