A-735 Robert E, Middlemist A--735 Preliminary Plat
Staffpresented petitioner's request for preliminary plat approval of Middlemist
4th Addition, a six -lot residential plat proposed for single family .detached dwellings
located east of Ximines Lane at 41st Avenue North. A recommendation for approval was
proposed by Staff subject to the conditions as listed in the Staff report of September
30, 1977.
Commissioner Threinen questioned why this plat had not been presented as a joint
venture with the property owner to the east, thereby eliminating the remnant parcel's
to the east of the project fronting on the lake which would result from the platting
of the property to the east as a separate venture. Staff indicated that the two
parties had been unable to come to terms on the land, and, therefore, each had separate
development plaits.
Chairman Davenport opened the meeting to questions and comments from the audience,
Gary Walters, 3945 Lancaster Lane, owner of the property to the east, stated that he
had no objection to the alignment of the road thorugh the Middlemist 4th Addition
project in that he felt it would be conducive to future platting of his own parcel.
Howard Fistere, 10$15 -40th Avenue North, stated that the developer had already begun
a project 'to the west of this proposal, Mddlemist 3rd Addition, which was causing
problems for the neighborhood. For example, the 40th Avenue North piece of road was
built for a 3 -ton limit and trucks of iituch greater weight were travelling the road;
entry of construction vehicles was une'verstood to be allowed only from County Road 9,
yet petitioner was continually using the residential street; due to the use of the

road by the construction vehicles, the road was deteriorating substantially:-ind much
of the dirt and mud was washing into the lake, Staff indicated that they were in
the process of requiring the developer to correct the situations of the road,.
Judy Williams, 41.20 Ximines Lane, stated that she, too, was concerned with the condi-
tion of the road. She added that she felt the neighborhood had received no cooperaticn
from Mr., Middlemist in making the area as livable as possible during the course of
his development.
Bob Sidare, 10810 -40th Avenue North, reiterated the concerns of his neighbors regarding
the developer of the Middlemist 3rd Addition.
