VI. PUBLIC COMMENT
Loyd Petersen, 3001 N. Joel Ct. Mr. Petersen stated he had a petition signed by
all the neighbors in the Coach Light Estates and Meadowlark neighborhoods who
are against the proposed e�ension of Fairview Ave into their cul-de-sac. The
neighbors object to having this traffic directed through their quite neighborhood
when there are already three entrances into this neighboring development. The
proposed project will bring more traffic, children and crime to our neighborhood.
All current neighbors are elderly. Developer does not want this because it will
take one of his lots that he could sell and he will have to pay to develop the road
and cost him money. Please leave our road the way it is. Mr. McCormick
stated that this matter would not come before the Planning Commission but
