He believed there should be a sidewalk going to <br />the school and noted a sidewalk had been needed for sometime. <br />Ms. Hazdy noted that the internal circulation as proposed was consistent with City <br />standazds. She added that the second point of access was cazefully designed to be least <br />impacting, being approximately opposite a flag lot and a side yard. She noted that <br />Ponderosa Homes did not support introducing a new public street across the Selway <br />property and that discussions had been held with the Police Department, who did not <br />support the pedestrian access either. The Police Department would not be able to provide <br />surveillance and protection for children on a 600-foot long walkway. She was pleased to <br />receive feedback on the Alternative 3 scenazio. She was awaze of the existing speeding <br />problem on the street and believed the project was an opportunity to help in that regazd, <br />with the curved streets and landscaping. She understood the undergrounding issue would <br />go back to staff and stated that Ponderosa Homes would be willing to participate in <br />Rule 20A funds for the Selway frontage. A trench would be placed across the frontage <br />on the Lehman piece to the closest pole. She noted that the overall density was 1.4 units <br />per acre and that many speakers supported feathered density in the Mohr/Martin; the <br />density plans were consistent with the feathering plan. The lot sizes were consistent with <br />the neighborhood, with the minimum lot size being 20,000 square feet and the largest lot <br />33,000 square feet. <br />In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Olson regazding a bamer being placed at the <br />Palmer Drive end of Cameron Avenue, Ms. Hazdy replied that was a lazger issue than just <br />r' the project. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />Commissioner Fox had forwarded a message from the Principal of Mohr Elementary <br />School, who had supported including a sidewalk plan with the project and was very <br />concerned for the children's safety. She inquired whether Ms. Hardy would be willing to <br />meet with the Principal and the School District regazding the safety concerns. <br />Commissioner Blank noted that the Principal's letter stated that issues concerning the <br />school were generally brought through the School District and assumed that the Principal <br />wished the issue to go through the District and not through him personally. <br />Commissioner Fox would like the District to be notified of pertinent issues <br />Chairperson Arkin noted that staff handled the notifications and did not believe that was <br />within Ms. Hazdy's purview. <br />Commissioner Blank believed the District should be notified as part of the staff's general <br />efforts. <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 10, 2006 Page 14 of 19 <br />
