May 2 with concerns about the site. The site is in the northwest corner of the intersection of 160th Street and Garret Path. The main portion of the section is a city-owned storm water retention pond. A section of the pond has been identified as not necessary for water retention and suitable for two 11,000 square-foot lots.
Utilities are available to both lots.
Due to the retention pond, a four-foot high retaining wall is planned to straddle both lots. Construction of the homes will not require modifications to the storm water retention pond. During the public hearing, potential neighbors brought questions about alternate sites. Most said the site was not suitable for families due to shortened and potentially dangerous backyards due to the pond. Keith Vonnahe questioned how the properties were selected and what criteria was used.
