Kinder here would like to speak about Saddleberrook Drive concerns if you step up to the mic Good evening My name is April Stevenson Kender I'm the president of the Maple Run
Homeowners Association My neighbors and I have had some concerns over the last year Uh one replacement of a sign on our street reading dead in We are petitioning for a sign change to no
throughway I have observed some communities have this sign and some do not I do not understand the criteria for the name difference However we find that the words dead in can have a negative connotation
Number two the movement of the stop line closer to the corner due to an obstructed view for drivers on Maple A and on Saddlebrook Drive It seems that there is a problem when you stop too far
that they we do have a bus that comes by and picks up some of our kids in various areas on Maple A and at Saddlebrook And it seems that some of these drivers are a little scared or skittish because the person that stopped on Saddlebrook Drive
is so far back that they cannot see them well And number three we have a resurfacing of our road We would love to see if we could do something about that There was a mismanagement with the spray coating last year The spray was applied
during a rainy condition which caused it to gray and to crack Um unfortunately water accumulation and uneven spots less than a year later have occurred Um we have asked for the city to come and look
at it Uh I myself called three times and we received pretty much the response that it is done now and there's nothing we can do about it You have to drive on the road for a couple of months and it should be okay Unfortunately we have
even more cracks and even more divots and we have more accumulation of rainwater which unfortunately may cause mosquitoes later on in the hotter months which would cause problems with stagnant water We don't want to have that problem
Ma'am just one question to interrupt you Yes Um do you know who you spoke to we called up two different areas I first went to zoning and then it was engineering that we spoke to Both times
I was asked um why I was calling and I told them that I believe because the spray was done during a rainy part of the week that it didn't cause the um spray to evenly settle Uh I do know that
there were two other streets that were done at the same time and they had similar problems Um so I'm just talk to Aaron about that to have him go look at that police I don't remember unfortunately I'm sorry
for that Thank you I just want to say thank you for listening to my concerns and thank you for listening to those people that live on Saddlebrook Drive We are a one
block street and we pride ourselves on being good neighbors We do not cause problems and we are very much in interest of making Vinland an excellent place to live So thank you Thank you
