<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />the adjacent lot, which totals 325 square feet. If the transportation im- <br />provements are made, estimated payments will be $19,500 to $32,500, which the <br />church cannot afford. He opposed requiring residents and landowners to pay <br />for widening Game Farm Road. <br /> <br />Irene Hake, 45 Ann Court, representing herself and her husband, stated that <br />they are opposed to the extension of Pioneer Parkway. She said that the <br />proposed freeway would be virtually in her backyard. She added that the <br />extension would take almost one third of her lot, many fruit trees, and the <br />septic system. She said that there are 40 backyards along the proposed ex- <br />tension. She said that park areas and backyard acreage deserves the same <br />consideration as the extension, because both are equally important. <br /> <br />Alain De La Motte, 340 Edie Drive, stated that subsequent to the last public <br />hearing, he received a letter from Mr. Boyles and submitted that letter to <br />the record. He said that he moved to this area and has since created 25 new <br />jobs in the area. That business was later sold. He said that two years ago <br />he bought another business, which would have been a prime business for this <br />area. The business will employ approximately 100 people. He said that he <br />came to the area because of its beauty. However, he said that he has decided <br />to move to Seattle and allow the business to remain in Seattle. He said that <br />the primary issue he examines when deciding where to locate a business, aside <br />from tax issues and the like, are the quality of life for his family. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Rust, Mr. De La Motte said that the busi- <br />ness in Seattle will require approximately two acres. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Roberts, Mr. De La Motte said that his <br />response to Mr. Boyle's letter will explain why he has chosen to relocate to <br />Seattle. He added that he was misled when he purchased the property and was <br />never told that there was a proposed roadway being built in the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Eldon Hudgins, 2836 Wayside Way, stated that he came to the area less than <br />one year ago and was not told of the proposed extension of Pioneer Parkway. <br />He maintained that progress and growth is not always the best alternative. <br />He stated that the area is currently livable because it is a quiet neighbor- <br />hood in an urban setting with a rural "flavor." He added that he supports <br />the views of the Game Farm Neighbors. <br /> <br />Tom Bowerman, 33707 McKenzie View, a technical advisor to the Game Farm <br />Neighbors, noted his expertise in planning and related issues. He said that <br />there has been difficulty with the cooperation of the staff, planning commis- <br />sioners, the PAC, and the Game Farm Neighbors. He said that the planning <br />commissioners have been "openly hostile" in situations which provide opportu- <br />nities for compromise. He said that the Game Farm Neighbors and the PAC <br />entered the process with an agenda to preserve agricultural lands and to stop <br />development. He stressed that the current refinement plan illustrates nota- <br />ble compromise on these issues. He said that the PAC was particularly con- <br />cerned about the quality of development in the Game Farm Road area and gener- <br />ated alternative development, which integrated open space. He said that the <br />proposals were met with a "hostile attitude" and thus, the conversations were <br /> <br />MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials <br /> <br />January 29, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 11 <br />
