The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. Several members of the McCulley Farm Homeowners' Association were present. Zoning Administrator Mabusth reviewed this application saying that the request was for a cul-de-sac length veriance. The prc-posal is for a 1,600' cul-Je-sac where the iaximum allowed is 1,000 ft. Mabusth said that McCulley Road was platted and is on record showing the cul-de-sec. The City asked that a future loop extension to McCulley Road be provided, but during the final plat phase of the subdivision application the developer opted to go with a through road and the cul-de-sac was never constructed. Eight of the 9 homeowners are requesting the cul- de-sac in order tc eliminate the road from being used as a by- pass. The residents would like to blacktop the road but fear by doing so traffic speeds would increase. Mr. Michael Pierce, 480 Deborah Drive, objects to the cul- de-sac. He said that he had bought his property 7 years ago and that the through road existed at that time. He preferreo to exit from the end of the road being proposed for cul-de-sac. He believed that allowing the only access to be onto County Road 6 to be a safety hazard. A representative of the residents favoring the cu. -de-sac said that there would be no change in response time for the Maple Plain Fire Department. The Orono Police indicated that the cul- de-sac would only slightly increase .response time. He said that Lt. Cheswick has confirmed that Deborah Drive is being used as Z: taut -off. He said that 7 of the 9 homes have children ranging in age from 1 to 15 who use the road for bicycles, etc. Kelley asked whether the 8 residents in favor had so indicated in writing? The Representative ar wered negatively. Kelley suggested that the residents through the Homeowners' Association prior to seeking aplal from the City. He said that the Homeowners' Association vi would carrl weight when the application was being considered the Planning Commission and Council. ll
