rir. Jullie explained the alternatives to the storm sewer/street pro-
ject as outlined in his letter of ►iarch 22 . Alternate A and B
assessment methods (Attachment II of the ;iarch 14 hearing minutes )
were also explained .
►4ayor Osterholt clarified the fact that approval of the sewer project
does not include approval of the alignment of Red Rock Road . Mr.
Jullie added that moving the road westerly t•tas studied and poor soil
conditions were encountered as t.eli as the division of developable
land . If the collector veere ;roved to the !vest , Red Pock Road could
"T" that collector or become a cul -de-sac . That assessing part of
the cost to general community benefit for the Red Rock Road improve-
ment was a possibility said i•ir. Jullie in reply to a question from
Wr. Penzel .
Mr . Eugene Martinson , 3317 Red Rock Road , presented a petition signed
by the seven residents of Red Rock Road protesting the change of Red
Rock Road to a collector. iir . 11 . Rions , 15109 Oak Drive and Firs .

Five residents were undecided while five others could not be reached
for comment.
11r. Don Johnson , 3210 Sheridan Lane , turned those present of the pos-
sibility of shortsightedness . If a minimum street were ordered ,
residents could be subject to maintenance costs and eventually street
replacement at a probable higher cost . iir. Duane Pidcock , 14901
Scenic Heivhts Road , echoed t;iese remarks .
Mr. Jack Schaubert , 14509 Hillside Drive , stated he was satisfied
