Shaughnessy PeCtion A public hearing was held on petition of dames G. Shaughnessy for preliminary plat for Creekwood Addition --32nd Avenue North and East Medicine Lake tivd, Planner Ouerhiserx- Gave a brief description of the area.. He stated there were three major concerns regarding this pkat.. 1. The overall lot size dues not come 'up to 18,500 square feet, 2. The Med-O-Lakes plat should not be revised. 3. The realignment of streets should be looked at closely. Mr. Shaughnessy'. Stated the fallowing items should be brought to the attention of the Planning Commission, 1.. in a previous proposal for townhouses on this pro- perty, the residents of 32nd Avenue North indicated strongly that they wanted it to remain a deadend street. 2. The proposed alignment of 34th Avenin+ 'forth, shown on the East Medicine Lake Guide plan would require digging up and relaying a portion of the sewer line from Armstrong High School since the seder line is only 7' feet below ground. 3. There would be no intention of putting a walkway along the Creek which flows primarily through a' deep ravine. They would plan to put several dams, on the stream to slow the flow. Issue: 32nd Avenue North 0verO hiser., There would be no current east/west connection between 36th Ave. Borth and 26th Avenue North. The Zast Medicine Lake Guide Plan shows 32nd Avenue North going east to County 18. Wahl.
