a video of the site. Lisa Munden who owns property adjoining the project site
presented a handout outlining the points of concern. The main concern was the
close proximity of the structure to the single family subdivision. The lighted
parking lot is a concern because most of the homes bedrooms are to the back of
the homes next to the parking lot. Also staff will be coming and going from the
parking lot at all times in Ms. Munden's opinion. On the site plan there is an
easement providing ingress coming from the subdivision. Another concern was
for the type of people being housed in the apartments, because there are lots of
chi ldren in the subdivision and their safety is a concern. Jessica Kittle and her

I

concerns. Both property owners stated that they didn't want to stop the building

problem within the subdivision. Other concerns were buffering, lighting, security,
how many violent residents, and sex offenders would be housed in the
apartments. Betty Russell also a resident of the subdivision voiced concerns
regarding safety, noise, light, and destruction of the natural vegetation. Ms.
Russell stated that there is enough property on the site that the building could
be build further away from the subdivision. Max Lytle representing the project
addressed the concerns. He stated that if there is a way to move the project
further to the south might alleviate the concerns such as parking lot, lighting and
noise. It can't be move too far to the south but possibly can be moved some.
