ACTION ITEM
:
th
17 Street Planned Transition Redevelopment Plan
:
Ron Folsom presented the area that the transition covers. He explained that it included the properties
from Sandcreek to the West of Avocet. Leslie Folsom discussed the units adjacent to the park location and the
shallowness of the lots. Ron explained that the lots East of Curlew are larger lots due to lot #9 being absent from
the plan and the land being disbursed to the other lots in that area making them much larger. It was highly
discussed that lots A – H from Falcon Drive that abut to the city park be requested to change from two lots to one
lot with one home and entrance on the total lot. Discussion was held concerning bringing in lots 3 & 18 abutting
Curlew and the possibility of them combining with Lots 3, 4 & 5 or Lots 18, 19 & 14. Discussion was also done
th
concerning the access if this happened and that most businesses would want the access onto 17. It was
determined that we could do this in the future, if so desired, but that it didn’t need to be done at this time.
Notation should be made that both sides of the road should be brought in, if done in the future. The houses West of
Falcon was mentioned that A & B have to be combined but if A does not grant access to B then B cannot be
combined. B cannot have an entrance onto Falcon for PB use. Considerable discussion was based on assumptions
concerning financial viability of all the options for the change. It was deemed that it might take time but that the
proposals would be financially viable. Lot 9 West of Curlew must be combined with either Lot 5 or 10 since the
lot is so shallow. This proposal is being made so that this section will be able to get out of their homes if they so
desire. At this time, they are not attractive as homes or rentals so they are slowly disintegrating. This will enable
the property owner to sell their home and hopefully get a reasonable price for it. It was decided to move the time
limit to 24 months for completion of the development of lots. It was determined that there will be 3 park accesses

from the PB areas abutting the park. The fence height required along the park will be 6 feet vinyl that will match
the entire section.
Leslie Folsom made the motion to accept the development with the following changes: Lots A-H abutting
park will go from two lots to one lot with one house and entrance on the total lot. The completion time will be
changed to 24 months. The fence abutting the park will be a 6 feet vinyl fence that will match the entire section of
the park. Greg Maeser seconded. The motion carried.
