More questions arose regarding the multi-family residences existing in the middle of <br />single-family residences, the distance of the bridge intersection from Walgreens, and the <br />rd <br />ingress/egress of traffic off 43 Avenue. <br />Chairman Ginn wanted to pull this item. She said she received a letter from <br />residents asking for a public hearing. <br />Attorney Collins explained it is not appropriate to have a public hearing on a final <br />plat request. It is considered a ministerial act where you are making sure all the platting <br />requirements are met. The applicant is entitled to an approval if they have complied with all the <br />state and county requirements after review by staff. <br />Director Keating clarified that the plat only creates lots, easements, and swales. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, to approve <br />staff’s recommendation. <br /> <br />th <br />Robert Johnson, <br /> 535 39 Court SW, wanted a public hearing to discuss the <br />rd <br />widening on 43 Avenue and Oslo Road involving the intersection and the bridge. He said people <br />are concerned about flooding and the necessity of a bridge with five-lanes. He pointed out that <br />someone traveling east on Oslo Road would not be able to make a left-hand turn into Walgreens. <br />He felt the Board should look into other traffic problems and find another alternative for routing <br />the traffic. <br />County Administrator Joseph Baird reminded the Board that this request is for plat <br />approval. He said they are aware of a traffic problem and one solution is to keep it at three-lanes. <br /> <br />The CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and <br />the motion carried by a 4-1 vote, Chairman Ginn <br />opposed. The Board granted final plat approval for <br />APRIL 6, 2004 <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
