~ sidewalk would not be able to meander for a rural feel. The fire trucks would be able to <br />navigate a 24-foot-wide street. <br />Matt Lawer, 3750 Cameron Avenue, noted that he was directly impacted by the project <br />and would like significant consideration to be taken with their concerns. He displayed <br />the site and would like the U-shaped entrance to be reconfigured to another path that <br />would go through as displayed. He did not want atwo-way or four-way intersection to <br />impact his home. He was very concerned about the impact of the street design and <br />sidewalks on his quality of life. <br />Janice Cain, 2033 Palmer Drive, noted that she was one of the original owners on Palmer <br />Drive and added that her home elevations allowed them full view of the field from the <br />kitchen window. She noted that view would disappear with the development. She <br />wished to correct her statement on Exhibit D; she did not say the homes were <br />"appealing," but rather that they were "appalling." She believed they were too lazge and <br />opulent for the neighborhood. She took issue with the statement on page 4 stating that <br />the last 30 minutes were spent giving kudos to Ponderosa Homes; she remembered some <br />speakers stating that the representatives were very good to work with, and she agreed. <br />But she did not believe that went on for 30 minutes. She noted that with respect to the <br />Cameron Avenue traffic issue, she saw many pazents who were not from Palmer Drive <br />driving their children to school using the Cameron Avenue access. She noted that the <br />Mohr School traffic was horrendous. She did not want Mr. Ketell's home to be <br />negatively impacted by a sidewalk, but would like some kind of safe passage in that azea. <br />~" She complimented the Ponderosa representatives on being easy to work with and added <br />that they had been very accommodating to her and her neighbors. <br />Mark Tucker, 1844 Martin Avenue, wished to compliment Ponderosa on its outreach to <br />the neighbors and added that its representatives did not pit the neighbors against one <br />another. He believed the project had a logical layout and that the homes were fine. He <br />believed the sidewalk was a valid concern and added that the speed of traffic in the <br />neighborhood was a major concern. He did not want to lose the rural appeal of the <br />neighborhood, especially with traffic-calming devices. <br />Kelly Cousins, Cameron Avenue, distributed handouts to the Commissioners describing <br />several traffic options that she had developed. She believed that Cameron Avenue <br />received the bulk of the traffic disruption and believed that Cameron Avenue should have <br />limited parking. <br />Nancy Krakauer, 1969 Palmer Drive, believed a sidewalk along Cameron Avenue would <br />promote greater safety and did have sympathy for the neighbors who would be affected. <br />Jed Sussman, Cameron Avenue, was not in attendance to speak. <br />Terry & Debbie Leuthauser, 3623 Cameron Avenue, noted that their property was located <br />directly east of the proposed development. Mr. Leuthauser agreed with Mr. Ketell's <br />~.~. comments and the reseazch he did. He noted they had moved from a Waal azea of <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Mazch 29, 2006 Page 19 of 25 <br />
