J hN-15“199S 16!22 Uestman. Champ 1 in Z Kally 612 334 3312 P.02'03 Ms. Elizabeth A. Van Zomeren City Planner/Zoning Administrator January 15, 1999 Page 2 We are also concerned because our residence is located at the outlet of the cul*de-sac, and because v/e have a three year old toddler and a baby to be born in February. Although we do not intend to allow our children to play on or near the street, we believe increased traffic and increased speed of the traffic on the road is not acceptable. We are also opposed to use of Crystal Creek Road for two additional properties because of financial risks that have yet to be properly considered. First, use of the road during construction and thereafter for the Hilbelink lots v/ill naturally cause wear and tear upon the road, thereby shortening its life and requiring repair or replacement at an earlier time. There also exists a risk that the road will incur sever damage from construction traffic of these lots that will require immediate attention. Liability for this type of damage has not been adequately addressed and it is our fear that such an event will place a financial burden upon the Association and thereby its members in order to repair or replace the road. It was also reported hy Bone.Rtroo Rosene Anderlik St Associates that additional storm sewer and pond capacity may be necessary to accommodate water from the Hilbelink Subdivision. These costs have also not yet been ascertained, therefore we do not know at this time what burden this will place upon the Association. We assume these costs will be paid for by the Hilbelink developers. Nevertheless, even if initial, increased storm sewer and pond capacity was to be paid for by the Hilbelink developers, the Crystal Creek Homeowners Association v;ill probably be liable for any additional costs if further accommodations need to be made. It is our opinion that none of the financial risks have been properly addressed by the Association for these and othei unrecognized consequences of allowing two additional properties to access and use Crystal Creek Road. AC a minimum, additional time is needed by the Association to asses the proposed subdivision and consequences. As you are aware, Crystal Creek Homeowners Association is a new horaeownei's association, but is by no means an active association in view chat only cv/o homeov;ners out of twelve available properties are curi*ently I'esidenc.?. The balance of the properties available in Crystal Creek are owned by developers that have possibly contrary interests to us and future residents of Crystal Creek. In fact, we had our first meeting Januarv' 13, the ourpose of which in part was to discuss this proposal. Hcv;ever,
