feet of his property. He also questioned the drainage at the back <br />of his property going down past 8th Avenue. <br />Director Davis stated that the drainage to the south will be <br />improved over and above the existing conditions. <br />Paul Grenier, 937 21st Avenue, stated he is certainly in favor <br />of saving the trees. His concern was the possibility of the <br />traffic impact which could be caused by Mr. Morris' split of his <br />property. <br />County Administrator Chandler remarked that the preliminary <br />assessment had been presented at the January, 1996 public hearing <br />and that the only change is the possible situation with Mr. Morris' <br />property split. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating commented that the <br />discussion concerns a potential lot split which the Board does not <br />review. That situation is only examined when someone comes in for <br />a building permit. If Mr. Morris should split his property with <br />the potential to access 2 roads, he would have the ability to apply <br />to public works for access to either road. A single-family home <br />generally creates a traffic impact of 10 trips per day. <br />Tracy Monaghan, 918 21st Avenue, emphasized that residents <br />were told about the assessment a year ago and that Mr. Morris' <br />access is a totally separate issue. <br />Mrs. Pickles asked whether there was an agreement that when <br />Mr. Morris splits his property, the surrounding property owners <br />would be notified, and Commissioner Adams and Chairman Eggert <br />confirmed that no notice would be given. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved <br />commencement of the project, as recommended by <br />staff; vacation of the Morris easement; and saving <br />as many of the trees as possible. <br />JANUARY 14, 199724 BOOK <br />
