“Sabrina, thank you. My question is, you mentioned just below this build here, there's a dairy. Is that a working dairy there?”
“Do you know, are there school builds in this area in the next two years, new schools?”
“Just for the record, this subdivision is planned for Valley View School District. And these children would attend... Lakewood Elementary, and the middle school is Summit View Middle School and Ridgeview High School. Lakeview Elementary is approaching capacity of over 700 students. Ridgeview High School has officially exceeded its building capacity. This would require $17,920 more for the police to staff and to have police available. And we're looking at just these 49 homes. when it was mentioned several times that the dairy subdivision is just about finished. And where are those students…”
“In light of that, I'll strike my comment about the schools, but I'm still concerned that we're not covering our police department.”
“I have a question. I don't know if you can answer this or if this is for Doug. When you're talking about these master plan communities and this community, can you tell me, is this paying for itself? How is this affecting our city, the impact of this community plan? Where are we looking at? We were hoping to get analysis for stuff this large, and we don't have that. So We need that.”
“Just a follow-up. So we have no real answer on the impact of this community or any of these master plan communities until January. Okay, thank you.”
“AND WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE ON THE LEVY.”
“I am trying to politely object that this is out of control. We are here to listen to their opinions, not to badger and question them and where they're from. They're here to give their opinions, and it is our job to listen and not badger them. And I think this has gotten out of control tonight. And I respect all of you, and I'm sorry, but this needs to stop, and we need to allow them to give their opinions. Thank you.”
“signs out there let's say that can mayor i don't i'm you can correct me on this legal but you don't have to answer questions that the council members ask you you just get to give your opinion i don't mind i know you don't i think i think she kind of enjoys it sometimes actually oh she likes it”
“Yes, thank you. I have a couple of concerns about this. First of all, I get really concerned when the public comes and says, we don't listen to you. We do. I listen to you. I guess I can't talk for everybody else, but I listen to you and I hear you. And I hear every single neighbor that has come out and said, no, no, no, please don't. And you have great reasons for that. And for those of you that are from one of the, as our governor calls them, one of the cow states, California, Oregon, Washington. Thank you for coming out. Thank you for giving us the warnings that have happened in your…”
“Hi, Cody. Is this just for recreation? It's not, there's no training or anything else like that going on here?”
“I am curious about the Happy Valley Road expansion. We've been hearing five lanes, turn lanes. What is the timeline on that?”
“YES. I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION THAT I PICKED UP FROM, I APOLOGIZE, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO was talking about it on Happy Valley Lane. Would you consider a turn lane into the business for the trucks, like a right-handed turn lane or something that would keep the traffic FLOW A LITTLE BETTER. I DO FREQUENT THIS AREA, AND IT IS HORRENDOUS TO TRY AND GET DOWN HAPPY VALLEY. AND SO A TRUCK, AND FOR SOME REASON, MAYBE BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON ROBINSON ROAD, THERE'S EXTRA TRUCK TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA. THEY'RE ALWAYS IN THIS AREA. SO IS THAT A CONSIDERATION?”
“We saved the best for last. If she's brief, she may get my cookie before it's all over. I do understand everything that the wise councilman Bill said. I do respect what he says very much, and I do appreciate how well you have worked with the planning and zoning requests. However, there are 70 individuals that have signed a petition in this area. They live here, and they don't want to have a wall a building or a fence in their backyard to look at. And so I work for you, citizens. And I do believe that we need to have businesses, especially. And I do think that out on the other side of Happy…”
