I I I Page 3 - City Council Meeting Minutes of April 22, 1997 Council Business. continued Mattila confirmed that the trailer court has three exits onto 3rd Terr. Barb Gustafson, 960 - 3rd St., noted concern of the project's elevation, drainage, and reduced backyard privacy. Cadwallader said there would be 80 ft. between Gustafson's property and the units, and the engineering study requires catch basins to correct past drainage and future runoff. Samuelson asked if a 3rd St. traffic study could be performed. Cadwallader said the townhome exit could be reconfigured to access Hwy 8, but the County needs to make that decision. Williams feels traffic stacking may occur near garages closest to the exit. Michael Gustafson, 960 - 3rd St., stated that a stop light is needed at 3rd Terr. and Hwy 8, and noted concern of runoff in his backyard. V ogl requested fencing along the west portion of her property to deter children living at the townhomes from cutting through her yard to access Hansen Park. Cadwallader does not feel many children will live at the townhomes because interest has been from retired persons or empty nesters, and there are no plans for fencing on the west portion. Carol Steinbeck does not like to see the natural landscape disappear. Eugene Conley, 241 - 9th Ave., noted poor visibility at 2nd St. and Hwy 8, and feels a stop sign is needed. Benke believes traffic concerns along Hwy 8 are valid, and the corridor study will review these concerns. Larson asked if drainage ditching could be installed along the south and west boundaries. Paul Vik, 980 - 3rd St., believes runoff problems will occur in his backyard due to the project, and he did not receive notice of the rezoning request. Mattila said he went above and beyond notification requirements. Mattila suggested that the grading plan include elevations from adjacent properties for City Engineer review.
