Carol Gottlieb, 24290 Summerhill, stated that she had never seen a subdivision <br /> where a private driveway split the land. She believed access was limited <br /> and as presented this was not a logical solution to the subdivision. Mrs. <br /> Gottlieb urged the Town to be careful of the standards regarding <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Harry Cooke, 25362 La Loma Drive, noted that this was a small lot and the <br /> applicant would still financially prosper if a smaller house was built. Mr. <br /> Cooke also inquired if a sewer connection was a condition of the project <br /> and he was advised it was. <br /> Theresa McDaniel, Chairman - Environmental Design and Protection <br /> Committee, stated that the trees were quite close to the house and in the <br /> committee's opinion a lot of trees would be lost or severely damaged as a <br /> result of construction. In addition with the setback regulations, it would <br /> be difficult to design a house and save the trees. <br /> Alette Mahler, 25825 La Loma, spoke of the trees that had already died on the <br /> Merrill property and was concerned about how the trees were being <br /> handled. <br /> Alan Wattle, 25274 La Loma, stated he was concerned about the total erosion of <br /> the rural character of the Town and also about the safety issue. There was <br /> too much traffic on La Loma and he did not agree with the proposed <br /> subdivision. <br /> Dot Schreiner, Chairman - Pathways, Recreation and Parks Committee, <br /> commented that the present easement impacted the development of this <br /> property and it was unclear whether or not the alternate easement would <br /> work. Mrs. Schreiner noted that their committee would like the option of <br /> either path and would like this to go into the conditions. <br /> Charles Pack, 25303 La Loma, stated his concerns about the path on the Merrill <br /> property. It was important because it was an access to the top of the ridge; it <br /> was a place to walk horses and there were a lot of children. It was also <br /> important to have the path connecting with the fire trail on the other side. <br /> Nancy Hoffman, 25124 La Loma, commented that she was an equestrian and <br /> had lost comfortable access to the riding trails. She did not believe it was <br /> fair to those who have been in the community not to have access to the <br /> trail system. <br /> VOW <br /> October 16, 1991 <br /> 6 <br />
