understood that a deep cut would be made into her property to make the slope and wondered if this were true. Mr. Feldberg said it was intended to make a cut into her property if permission were given, but if not they would have to pile-drive. Ms. Miller expressed concern that her land would be devalued; that this would be a great place for kids to meet and vandalism and drugs would create a problem. She was concerned about security in her home being in such close proximity to the project. She was also concerned that she has limited water from a spring and felt that her water supply would be greatly affected. She said that she has sign income from a corner location and felt this, too, would be affected. She felt fire danger would be greater; was concerned about the easement, her mail box and the traffic situation that would ensue. Commissioner Berger asked Mr. Feldberg to point out on the model where Ms. Miller's home is. He did so, noting that the residence is about iac~ yards from the setback and about its-20' above it. E~ill Kolb, 11393 Dublin Canyon Road, said that he and his father own the adjacent property to the proposed project. He expressed concern that a 28' cut is planned to take place on his property and was opposed to that. He was greatly concerned that his and his sister's water supply would be severely impacted. He thought water pipes would have to be run through his property which he was ^pposed to. He felt his property would be devalued by the large building in front. He was opposed to the project and felt that a better plan could be had. Mr. Christian returned to the podium. He said this was the first time that he had heard opposition regarding the cut on the adjacent property. However, he said the building could still be built by utilizing pile driving. He appreciated the comments and concerns expressed tonight regarding the land and the water, but a study has been done which indicated the appropriateness of the project. The engineers said they could develop the land and it would not greatly affect the adjacent homeowners. However, they are more than willing to work with the homeowners in every way possible even though specialists have given them the go-ahead. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Hovingh asked Mr. Swif t if the project was conditioned to the completion of Stoneridge interchange. Mr. Swift said that according to City Council interpretation Stoneridge interchange was under construction. Commissioner Hovingh felt it should be conditioned to completion. Mr. Swift felt this would not be feasible. Page 14
