Mary Petersen was present for this matter, as was Mark Gronberg, her surveyor. Building and Zoning Administrator Mabusth clarified that there Is an additional property owner joining in the plat who will continue to achieve access off of Turnham Road. The four new lots will achieve access from an extended cul-de-sac road that abuts Lot 3. The City has asked for an outlet to connect to Chippewa Lane and to Turnham Road. Also proposed is the definition of an additional outlet for the purpose of accessing the Luce Line. The DNR is asking the City to refrain from intensifying vehicular crossing of the Luce Line. Chairman Kelley suggested that an easement be taken that would allow for pedestrian traffic to access the Luce Line. Such an easement would allow the northern property owners to access the Luce Line without the need to use McCulley Road. Ms. Petersen said that she did not understand why such an easement would be necessary when McCulley Road was so close. Kelley explained that the walking path would allow children a way to the Luce Line without contending with major traffic. Ms. Desyl Peterson, 4385 Chippewa Lane, said that she was pleased to see that Outlot C had been removed. Ms. Peterson noted that another neighbor has been circulating a petition in opposition to the through road. This neighbor was unable to attend this meeting, but Ms. Peterson said that the petition would be submitted prior to review by the City Council. Ms. Peterson asked why Outlot B was being dedicated at this time when Outlot h adequately provides access to the other lots. She suggested that should the other lots subdivide in che future, that outlot could be designated at that time when it would be needed. Mr. Jerome O'Brien, 380 Turnham Road, expressed concern regarding the future through street that Outlot A would provide. There were no further comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed.
