Bill Mader, 3306 N Webb Road, opposed to the PUD he questioned if it is a private road they could pave it, expressed concern on the traffic, and questioned if a development like this would open up residential development on pivot corners. He stated he disagrees with the proposal from Northwest. Bredthauer stated that the traffic is high on North Road and Webb Road and Highway 281 she said she drove the road and you have to try avoiding high traffic areas. Dan Leiser, 5501 Engleman opposed to the zoning he noted information regarding how many acres of land it take to educate one student and the difference in the valuations of ag land to residential. He supported to follow the 20 acre rule and do not change. He questioned how this would help Northwest School District and this would be sitting precedence. Jerry Wiese, 4711 Engleman Road opposed to the development noted that this will not be an advantage for Northwest. He expressed concern on the cost to educate a child and this would not generate enough taxes to cover the cost. He also noted that there is proposed legislation to change how valuations are calculated Quandt questioned if the diversion project is going to affect that area and if so they may be able to get out of the flood plain. The Prairie Creek Morris Creek project will help with the water problems north of Grand Island. Lancaster stated county government is very conservative and NACO helps with legislation Tonya Shriner, 3600 W One R Road expressed concern that this is proposing 9 lots but she had heard that Mr. Baasch may consider developing more property They have horses and cattle. She expressed concern on the traffic during school hours. Chairman Lancaster called for public participation Glen Mettenbrink, 4488 North Webb Road expressed concern about the traffic on Webb Road and the safety of the children. He also noted that the septic system for 1 R School is on that side. Bredthauer noted that there is a septic system there and Mr. Nabity explained that this is a fractional section. It is 20 feet wide and 180 feet long with an easement on it. It was a surveyor's error and they dealt with this in 1970 and were allowed to put in the fractional section for the septic system. Discussion was held on the septic systems waste water treatment systems are permitted on 2 acres or more and if there is high water it may have to be a mound system. Bredthauer noted that in some basement bathrooms she developed pits or grinder pits and they could use the same type of systems. Chad noted that when the ground is leveled there is enough fill to raise it out of the flood plain and there are only 2 lots that are affected. Chad noted that you cannot put a basement in a flood plain it can only be 5 foot deep and have an engineer sign off on the construction plans this was done in 1980 because of the tornados. The risk of life from a tornado is greater than from a flood. We have the Wood River and the Platte River. 6
