Dear Mr. Knutson:
Thank you for your letter of November 18,2005. I have forwarded a copy to our client Jerry and
Karon Story.
I am somewhat confused by the response as my clients are not proposing a direct access from an
individual lot to a highway or collector. Rather this would be a public street for the subdivision.
In addition, it is our understanding that the interval issue is only an issue because of an existing
drive that the city has allowed within a quarter mile of the proposed new street connection.
Again, we believe the Story development street connection would be at a better location and
perpendicular to Powers Boulevard creating a safer entrance and exit off of the road then the
existing driveway which could be moved when future development occurs.
If this is incorrect please enlighten me. In addition, we would be interested in why the city
engineer thinks that the new access would not be safe.
Finally, we would like to know what is the proper process to make this request so that the city
may act officially so Mr. and Ms. Story will have exhausted their administrative remedies.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Grannis & Hauge, P.A.
