Chairman Eggert questioned whether that future site plan would pose a problem, and Director Davis responded that there is a question as to whether or not Mr. Morris will split the parcel but he could access 10th Street which would solve the issue of disturbing the trees. Director Davis did not know whether Mr. Morris would have a preference for access on 10th Street or 21st Avenue, but he would have legal access to 10th Street. Mr. Cain continued that staff could put in a culvert but if Mr. Morris built a driveway (anywhere from 12 to 18 feet) that would take out a couple of the trees. Mrs. Pickles felt installing the culvert would damage the trees and could see no point in installing a culvert if Mr. Morris has access to a street where there are no trees (10th Street). She also mentioned a pine tree which will be impacted by 7 feet on the project plan and wondered if staff could back up a few feet to spare that tree. Robert Oziemkowski, 956 21st Avenue, expressed his concerns regarding notification of the surrounding property holders. He stated that he would never have voted for the project had he realized there would be any damage to the trees as he had understood that the Board guaranteed preserving them. Letha Rhodes, 965 21st Avenue, wanted a new assessment as she felt she would not benefit from 21st Avenue. She also wanted to know whether Mr. Morris would be charged a portion of the assessment if he is allowed to access 21st Avenue. Director Davis reminded everyone that the public hearing in January of 1996 was an opportunity for the property owners in the benefitted area to come before the Board and petition to be included or not. Staff has no way to know which property owners would want to split their properties in the future. This project was authorized by resolution at that public hearing. In order to change the project at this point, we would have to go through a completely new process from scratch. BOOK DO ma � JANUARY 14, 1997 22
