The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER OSWALT ,. Regular session closed. Public hearing opened: Peggy Tuttle expressed concern regarding a new subdivision being built instead of a church, as they were originally told. Building a subdivision will cause more drainage problems, overcrowding, and more traffic problems along with the fact the neighborhood is not happy with the flag lots, and the new homes will be crowded because the lots are a lot smaller. Tiffany VanSicklen related similar concerns regarding overcrowding, traffic, and her back yard is in the low point of the area. Carla Harsch spoke of the same concerns, and the utility easement being in her back yard, and her kids already have breathing problems due to the dust and if there is more traffic the dust problem will increase. Janet Krug informed the Commission she doesn't have kids, but if the subdivision is allowed to be built, there will be about eighteen (18) more families and about 36 more vehicles on a street with only one (1) way in and out, and the lots are going to be substantially smaller. " Kevin Arndt stated the drainage was not going down the middle of the lots, but the terrain is quite steep on Lots IE and IE. He advised to postpone the case until it could be examined more closely. Lonnie White stated he was on the Elders Board at the Kodiak Community Church, and he would like to see the church and the neighborhood work together to come up with a solution. He also stated this was the last piece of natural area in Woodland Acres. Craig Johnson reported the lot lines were altered to accommodate the contours of the drainage. If necessary, they are willing to redesign the plans to accommodate the Community Development Department and the drainage issues. Rod Krug addressed the drainage problem with the story of when he was putting in a new fence. He said once the postholes were dug, they would fill up with water because there isn't any drainage in the area. This is a Natural Wetlands area; there are ducks, swans, and other wildlife that come to these wetlands. At the request of the applicant, Craig Johnson would like to postpone any decisions until May 18, 2005. Public hearing closed.
