Councilmember Ihlan interpreted City Code, Section Il02.03a; and the broad conditions applicable for land use issues related to health, safety, wel- fare. Mayor Klausing opened the meeting to public comment, requesting com- ments be kept brief and not repetitious from previous Public Hearing and previous public comment opportunities provided. Public Comment Subbiah Ramalingam, 2182 Acorn (across from property) Mr. Ramalingam noted that he had previously granted a drainage easement to Mr. Mueller, but had since withdrawn his consent for drainage easement. Mr. Ramalingam expressed concern regarding the cul-de-sac street proposed and the limited number of properties being serviced, disadvantages to other property owners and property values, and additional maintenance costs be- ing borne by all residents for those few properties; and questioned the size of the cul-de-sac and road width. Ms. Bloom advised that the road width, cul-de-sac, and turn arounds met minimum City standards. Mayor Klausing noted the difficulty of making this type ofland use deci- sion, while satisfying all property owners. Nancy Gulden, 2226 Laurie Road Ms. Gulden spoke to the broken promises of the Masterpiece Homes devel- opment recently constructed, specific to tree preservation. Ms. Gulden opined that all were stewards of the land and animal habitat provided by God and the need to balance man and environmental issues; and the need to pro- vide the natural area around Acorn Road. James Kilau, 2225 Acorn Road Mr. Kilau spoke to his extensive conversations with neighbors and their lack of support for allowing a cul-de-sac for one home; and the neighbors agree- ment for three homes, but not more. Mr. Kilau questioned the expense for maintenance of a cul-de-sac; addressed the uniqueness of the neighborhood; and estimated that he'd spoken to approximately 98% of the neighbors.
