600K 10.7 PA, JE 519.07 <br />would give more room for the utilities to exist and there would be no problem in accessing <br />utilities. Emergency services would still have their emergency connection to the north -south <br />street and should not be a problem. <br />Ms. Gaskell asked about taking the berm out, and Director Davis responded that the <br />berm is on the Laurels' property and the road had encroached on their property. The berm <br />was designed and a landscape buffer exists now between the two subdivisions. <br />Director Davis also spoke at length in response to Ms. Gaskell's concerns about the <br />drainage problems in the area. <br />David Pittman, 3806 10' Street, spoke in support of abandoning the roadway. His <br />driveway faces 10`h Street and he sees cars speeding at night 60-70 mph and views it as a <br />dangerous situation. <br />Tammy Combs, 1005 37' Avenue, spoke in favor of abandonment saying that she <br />had seen teenagers speeding around the corner and had grave concerns for the safety of her <br />young children. <br />C.J. Hayes, lives on 40' Avenue, spoke against abandonment from his perspective <br />as a former fireman and paramedic. He believed it would be very difficult for the large fire <br />trucks and ambulances to back up and to turn there. <br />Jerry Doutrich, 1006 39'h Avenue, spoke in favor of abandonment because of small <br />children in the area and other safety factor concerns. He stated that cars are cutting across <br />his property now because the road was narrower because of the berm. <br />Richard Conyan, 1006 3r Avenue, advised that he sees cars speeding and doing <br />"donuts" in the new development, that 50+ mph is common. He had concerns for children <br />in the neighborhood. <br />Scott Nuttall, building at 3822 9' Lane, also had concerns about safety and supported <br />the closing of the road and abandonment of the property. <br />Mr. Hayes mentioned the emergency access between Malaluka Gardens and the <br />Laurels and wondered how other vehicles would be kept from going through it. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the <br />public hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED <br />BY Commissioner Ginn, to approve staff's recommendation. <br />November 10, 1998 <br />28 <br />
