vehicles already on the dead-end road; construction blocking
resident' s ingress/egress; quality of life issues; and potential

result would be increased size . He said he would work with City Staff
to ensure ingress/egress was not blocked during construction and
explained the project was fully compliant with the subdivision
requirements .

resident with a vested interest in this project being beautiful and
done correctly. He said this strip of land would allow improvements to
the area; including sewer, utilities, widening, and full compliance

Note : Items 2-4 will be held as one Public Hearing. The items are
all related to the Street Lighting Enhanced Service Areas (previously
known as Special Assessment Areas - SAAs - or Lighting Districts 1, 2,
and 3) . In November 2015, the Council requested that the
Administration study more sustainable funding options for enhanced
street light areas in the City. Among other recommendations, the study
recommends moving to a service fee for Enhanced Street Lighting that
would appear on customer 's monthly utility bills, in place of the
current SAA annual assessment. This change involves three actions of
the Council - to identify the change of billing method, establish the
rates, and to adopt the budget.

Special Assessment Areas to Monthly Fees . The proposal was to change
the funding source for enhanced street lighting from Special

Craig Carter spoke against the proposal . He said high-rise
buildings ruin the entire neighborhood and increase traffic. He said
mass transit and plans to decrease traffic on 2100 South did not
appear to be working and felt the proposal would only add more
problems to the area.
Jade DeYoung explained he lived on the S-line, had been to
meetings, and was assured there would be no parking and construction
issues associated with that project . He said his driveway was torn
out, front windows broken, three trees removed from his property, and
the cracks in his foundation became worse . He said now this proposal
was to construct a building right next door that would essentially
block his entire view and he already had to fight for parking in front
of his own home . He said he no longer felt this to be a livable
community, and neighbors were moving. He clarified homeowners like
himself would not be reimbursed for construction damages .
Jeff Stanley explained he owned a business on 22nd South and 7th
East. He said the entire area was zoned at 35 feet and he hoped for at
least 60 feet.

Councilmember Adams contact him.
