Mr. Pursell said he has this property fc~r some t•irne and was hauling dirt frarn the area. He has had a prablern with neigh bars and still having pr^c~blem with the BZA on a noncanfarming basis.

He has purchased the Clar-k property. He said where the Northwood Raad is steep, he plans to ga through the property he dust purchased from the Clarks. He also plans to develop the Clark's property into single family houses. Does not know how many houses will be on the. Clark's property, but they will be the same type houses as the rest of the property. Mr. Pursell said by purchasing the Clark's property, this will enable him to avoid the steep grade of the r^oad by going through the Clarks prr_,perty. We propose the road through the Clarks's property to be 36 feet wide and asphalt. They plan to leave the woods in the valleys and also will have retention ponds in the valleys which will control the erosion of dirt. Mayor Burch asked far a four-lane street with curbs and gutters. She felt that a two lane with turn lane and the construction of the curb and gutter would be at the discretion of the builder with the approval of the engineer.

He said the trucks would be empty entering the road and would use the other road when they are loaded. He said it would be five or ten years before he is through hauling the dirt.

Pursell made it clear that he will r,at develop ar, the Clarks pr^aperty until all the dir^t is moved ar,d he will develop it all at one tune, one theme. Alder^rnan Teters was concerned if some of the houses were not facing Nar^thwoad Raad. She wanted curbs and guttering if •t hat is what the City requires. Mike Pursell said that when he starts developing, he will cur^b and gutter. Alderman Owen said she would like to have some type of guarantee that he will put in the road in after he removes the dirt. We want a guarantee. If he develops it, this would be a guarantee. If he wants to build a road without curbs and gutters now, then we will need a guarantee that the r-aad will be put in according to specs after he has hauled all the dirt he intends ta. Alderman Rule asked Mr. Pursell why he wants to move the road r,ow. Mr. Pursell said far two selfish reasons, I bought the property so that I can move the dirt and the expense would 6e against the dab ar,d I won't have to pay the taxes. I have applied to remove the dirt off this location sa that the road can be built and won't have to take the dirt off. The City wants the road to be put in correctly.
