Laura Lathero LaPorte, 7700 129" Street, advised she had a real concern for animals and children on the road and was opposed to having trucks on her road. C. N. Kirrie, Roseland, the owner of the property needing access, recounted that when this discussion first came up, he entered into an agreement with Mr. Mensing to obtain property to try to access 130t' Street. He has tried to do that for 3 years. He felt he had been "stonewalled" for 3 years because of decisions by the State and the Commission to use 129th Street. He always felt that 130`" Street was the right access. He will cooperate, but felt no obligation to provide funds to make that change. He was irritated that he was being vilified that he would not acquiesce to "conditions" with regard to sewer and water requirements which are high and did not initially exist. He stated he is available to anyone who wants to talk with him about a solution which he feels is possible. Nevertheless his project will go forward with development beginning on the west side of the property. If access to 130th Street is obtained at a later date he could do a modification. Don Perry asked for clarification, and the Commissioners stated that Mr. Kirrie has the right to use 129"' Street, cannot be barred from accessing his property, and that a barrier cannot be erected to prevent him from doing so. A brief discussion ensued on purchasing Mr. Kirrie's property, and County Attorney Collins stated that he had not offered it for sale. Ms. LaPorte expressed great concern that in the future she and her neighbors might be required to get sewer, water, and paving on their street. A lady inquired why someone cannot park their truck on his own property, and she was advised that was a code enforcement matter. Chairman Macht explained that the Board is going to try to get Mr. Kirrie access to his property as quickly as possible. Gary Wheeler, 3302 63`d Square, inquired if traffic could be restricted by weight August 5, 2003 23
