THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS Ol'ENED. David Jones, 1605 Rose Avenue, represented the application. He tated he was not sure where to start in his description of the project since the process s back in 1982 when he and his father asked for rezoning. In 1988 they were able to build three houses on Rose Lane. He indicated the problem is with getting access permission om the Fairgrounds to hook into the future sewer line when it links to the Valley Avenue . e. He stated that without approval from the Fairgrounds for that line, they cannot se . ce the lots. He said he has nothing in writing from the Fairgrounds that he will receive s. He commended Greg Plucker of the Planning Department for his assistance. Chairman Hovingh questioned Mr. Higdon as to the status with the Fairgrounds. Mr. Higdon replied that a temporary sewer line is in place from Fair treet to the Fairgrounds. The long-term desire for the City is to minimize or eliminate that wer that must go through the Fairgrounds, and take the sewage from this area out to Valley venue. Martinque was negotiating with the Fairgrounds to have both emergency access an sewer/water connections. They were in final negotiations when they decided no to continue the project. It is still on the City's Master Plan that the water needs to be 100 to Valley Avenue; also the sewer line, at least from Rose Lane, will be looped to Valley A enue. In the meantime, the City is allowing development, if it occurs ahead of the infrastru ture development, to temporarily go through the Fairgrounds. In response to Commissioner Michelotti's question regarding the M .nque project, Mr. Swift and Mr. Beougher explained that the zoning PUD is in place; eir Growth Management approval lapsed when they did not file Final Map; it n w has no likelihood of being built. In response to Chairman Hovingh's question, Mr. Swift said the Ci has contacted the Fairgrounds to make sure that the understanding they had reached th regard to the Martinque project was still applicable. Peter Bailey of the Fairgrou s indicated that it is still the case. Ernest Jones, 1725 Rose Avenue, also represented the application. e expressed much indignation that the Fairgrounds is stating that the Jones must put up wall between the Fairgrounds and their property. He said he was definitely not going 0 put up a wall. He felt that the Fairground officials should have to appear before the Co mission if they have a problem to settle with him. He felt the Fairgrounds was trying to ge them to put up a wall, so they in turn could get access for the water/sewer line. Mr. Jones so expressed concerned in regard to Condition 17 in that the applicant shall pay a ro-rata share of the future water and sewer main extension from the project site to Valley AvenuelKoll Center Parkway. He expressed further concern that the Fairgrounds wants t build a trailer court for Fairground employees and those working there during the fair, an is simply trying to get adjacent neighbors to pay for the wall. He also expressed concern th t the Fairgrounds Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1993 Page 8
