EOOK ilffl Nr GE <br />Peter Robinson, Vice President of Laurel Homes, stated that he owns all the property <br />to the west of this development. He believed that the developer had done a very good job <br />in trying to assist the County in its goals. He believed that a lot of the people objecting to <br />the project would not be able to see the development at all once the buffers have been <br />planted and asked the Board to approve the project. <br />Bill Terry, 4210 12' Street SW, saw no need for such a high-density project and <br />expressed his concern about the number of cars such a development would entail. He asked <br />the Board to deny the request. <br />George Sims, 1185 45' Court, stated that the roads in the area are rural roads in <br />terrible disrepair. He was not against the development but asked the Board to consider the <br />road system as it now exists which could lead to disaster with a development of this scale. <br />Jerry Pason appreciated the buffer being increased and felt these would be very nice <br />homes. He expressed approval of the development. <br />Fred Weinkauff, 230 44" Terrace SW, President of the Forest Lake Homeowners' <br />Association, believed the traffic conditions would be deplorable and hoped the Board would <br />not grant the request. <br />Tom Shedd, a soon-to-be resident of Hammock Lakes, questioned whether the <br />infrastructure would be available for such a dense development. <br />Director Boling noted that the infrastructure had been thoroughly discussed atthe July <br />13' meeting and that a condition of the development included a developer's agreement for <br />road and utility improvements which would be brought back before the Board for approval. <br />Commissioner Adams commented that services are looked at prior to a site plan <br />approval. <br />Chairman Macht questioned plans for repairs to Kings Highway, and Public Works <br />Director Jim Davis responded that Phase 2 of the Kings Highway improvements will be <br />extended to Oslo Road shortly and a new bridge is planned. All of these improvements <br />should take place within the next 2 years. <br />AUGUST 3, 1999 <br />-44- <br />• 0 <br />
