There is a proposed townhome development on the southeast corner of Shady Oak Road

occur.
The following residents spoke regarding the proposed development:
Barry Mietzel, 249 Shady Oak Road: Traffic will use 21 st Avenue--a lot of children in
area--will increase traffic.
Betty Willie, 256 21 st Avenue North: Development on this property has come up two
� other times, once for a Perkins and the second time for an office building. These projects

did not go through because there would be too much traffic. Won't the County object to
access on Shady Oak Road? Traffic will come east to 21 st--will increase the traffic.
Phil Sims, 320 21st Avenue North: Will use 21st Avenue--will become a major
throughfare--Shady Oak Road is busy--more than half the traffic will use 21 st. Twelve or
more little children live on 21 st.
Joe Stoutenburgh, 310 21 st Avenue North: When Elder homestead went in they said no
traffic would be generated--there is more traffic now--privacy issue--headlights into
Hopkins property--want a 40 to 50-foot buffer--have spent time and effort to make yards
blend into the subject site.
Hubert Vassar, 210 21 st Avenue North: Traffic--West Park Road will carry the
load--more traffic on West Park Road and 21 st Avenue--21 st Avenue is nanow and
people drive fast on 21 st Avenue--do something else with property.
Norm Hendrickson, 249 West Park Road: Traffic--concerned about the ponds--pond next
to my property--potential for flooding my property.
Teni Jacobson, 233 Shady Oak Road: Now have to wait to get in driveway--there will be
^ more traffic on Shady Oak Road. What are the plans for Shady Oak Road?
Debbie Barnes, 200 21 st Avenue North: Don't want townhomes--they have advertised
townhomes in Sunday paper.
Don Bates, 251 21 st Avenue North: If inedian on Shady Oak, traffic will double on 21 st
Avenue--23-4 children on 21st Avenue--kids play on property. Does there have to be a
building on every inch of land in City?
Gene Maxwell, 337 21st Avenue: Traffic--care about our neighborhoods.
Steve Stadler responded to the issue of increased of traffic on Shady Oak Road. Mr.
Stadler stated that the increase in the amount of trafficfrom the proposed development on
Shady Oak Road will be insignficant; however, there will be an impact of increased traffic
