cant amend his request to Residential (R-25) zoning and Mr. Eades has agreed to

Hidden Valley Estates, Section 4, and located at the terminus of Cresthill Road.
T. M. 133-1 (1) parcel 1.
Mr. Balderson states that to keep the land development in conformity with the
adjacent land, the Planning Commission has recommended the applicant request
Residential (R-12). Mr. George Stephens, Planning Consultant for Lauck Associ-
ates, comes before the Board and states that an agreement has been worked out
with the adjacent property owners and he feels they are satisfied. Mr. Robert
Sternberger of Hidden Valley states that he and the residents of the area are
agreeable to this rezoning if traffic is routed through Baldwin Road and not
through the other outlets in the area and presents a statement which is filed
with the papers of this Board. Mr. Dave Long, a resident of the area, states
that he, too, is satisfied with the agreement that had been worked out.
Mr. A1 .Burne, Attorney representing 28 area residents of Baldwin Road, is present.
He states that all adjacent property owners have been contacted but this group
of people living on Baldwin Road has not and they will be suffering the most with
the overcrowded road. He states that the health, safety and welfare of his
clients has not been considered, the importance of good zoning involves traffic
flow which has not been considered, and that every family on Baldwin Road is
opposed to the traffic through their area. He states that the road is narrow
and a bus and car cannot pass safely on this road. He suggests that Percival
Street be designated as the construction access for this new development and be
used mainly for the flow of people who will reside there, that the Planning Staff
recommended the phasing of this development and that the traffic be distributed
over all three of the accesses that are available or that all action be deferred
at this time in order for the residents of Baldwin Road to be involved in an
agreement such as the one which was introduced.
Mr. Myers states that the agreement that was introduced is not binding on the
Board or the Planning Commission and adds.' that it is just an aid for the Board.
Mrs. Janice Pratt of Middlebrook Road suggests that all accesses could'be opened
up to help the problem of more children and more automobiles.
Mr. Long states that the Pre~ival Street access would be quite expensive to build
because of the low land that is involved. Mrs. Pratt then suggests a road along
Ashton Creek which is also said to be too low. Mr. Reade Shook of the Percival
and Richmond Street area states that the residents here already have a bad
problem with traffic. Mr. James Hardin of Baldwin Road states that this road
is very narrow and is in need of repairs and asks that the County, the Highway
Department and the developers get involved to improve same. Mr. William Burge
of Middlebrook Court states that Cresthill and Middlebrook do merge into a single
access and would present a bad traffic problem and is opposed to the access
going through these two streets.
Mr. Stephens states that Baldwin Road will be the main access until the 50 homes
are constructed and occupied but that perhaps later another access can be opened
up but that he cannot commit his company at this time.
Mr. Hardin questions what can be done about the road situation. Mr. O'Neill
states that Baldwin Road is in the State System. Mr. Stephens states that the
owners of this new development may not be able to improve this road since it is
State maintained. He adds that they are going to spend a lot of money on the
roads in the subdivision and he does not know what the owners are planning.
Mrs. Twila Snyder is concerned about the safety of the children in the area and
inquires what can be done about the road. Mr. O'Neill states that the Board
meets with the Highway Department's representative and they can bring it to the
Highway Department's attention. Mr. Bookman states that the Highway Department
would need the right-of-way to do any widening and inquires if the people would
be willing to give same. Mrs. Snyder states that if it came to the safety of
the children or giving the right-of-way they would give the right-of-way, she
thought. Mr. Mason states that once the road is built the developers will have
the right to construct homes along the road without coming back to the Board.
Mr. Balderson states that this is possible but not likely. Mr. Bookman congratu-
lates the people on their trying to work things out and doing so cooperatively.
Upon consideration whereof, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mrs. Girone
resolved that the request for rezoning to Residential (R-12) be and it hereby
is approved with the understanding that the agreement submitted be considered
by the Planning Commission when the subdivision approval comes before them.
Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Myers.

west quadrant of the intersection of these roads. T. M. 1S-9 (1) parcel 1.
Mr. Jim Hubbard representing Mr. Freasier is present. Mr. 'Balderson states that
