You will hear from many residents that they do not want cars going through Rolling Wheels sub division to get out, but creating a new access to County N is not the right solution to this problem. The number of lots that are to be created is something that could be considered to address some of the neighbors concerns. The comprehensive plan calls for lots up to the size of an acre. If the lots were at or close to an acre a piece, there would be 11 instead of 15 created, I think this is something that ZLR should consider because this would reduce the number of houses and therefore the number of cars going in and out of the neighborhood. At the first Town of Cottage Grove Planning Commission meeting this was voted on to be presented at the following meeting and it never was. We have discussed the plans with Don Viney (applicant) and he has agreed to keep the mature trees on our side of the property and to doing some screening by planting scrubs or trees where there are none to create a little separation between our property and the sub division. My final request would be that this be reflected in the plan. Again, my husband and I are not opposed to this development, and it is consistent with the comprehensive plan, but we want to be sure that the road access does not come at the expense of us losing our shared driveway to County N, losing a part of our lot, or by compromising public safety by allowing a new access to County N. We ask that the road access in the original plan be kept as it is. Thank you, Cynda 2
