Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting—August 29,2006 Page 13 Shawn Vasteen, 149 S.Virginia Street— • Supported The Homestead project. • The road conditions in Prescott were not the Tenney's problems; the city needed to address the problems. • The homes in The Homestead 36 homes on 19 acres, would not be built overnight. • He didn't see cars going fast down Virginia Street. • The Tenney's should be allowed to build their subdivision. It was clarified the Tenney's could build on the SF-35 zoning they had. Rojene Madsen, 310 S. Mt.Vernon— • Suggested the Tenney's sell half of the additional lots to Habitat for Humanity at 1980 prices. • As traffic on S. Mt. Vernon increased it was turning into a parking lot and the alleys couldn't be used. Mayor Simmons commented there were a number of undeveloped, pre- approved subdivisions coming on board and he was worried about adding to the problem and concerned Council's actions would make matters worse. Harold Tenney commented they were sensitive to what everyone was saying but other connector roads were needed in the area to relieve the traffic problems;they didn't cause the issue and they weren't the solution. Mr. Tenney proposed the City issue them a conditional permit based on 36 lots and the permit would allow the building of 18 lots and the other 18 lots would not be built on until another connector road was put into the area. Councilman Blair asked Public Works Director Craig McConnell what stage the South Prescott Circulation Plan was in and Mr. McConnell replied interviews were going to be held Friday to select the engineer to prepare the study. Mayor Simmons asked how Mr. Tenney's suggestion could be handled and Mr. Guice responded the Council could approve the plat with the condition that only half of the lots could be developed and someone would have to monitor the project. Attorney Gary Kidd interjected this was posted as a rezoning request from SF-35 to SF-18 and any change would mean a modification of that rezoning request and would be a conditional rezoning.
