The following individual addressed the City Council during Public
Participation for Agenda Items:
!. Anthony Ghiiardi, 586 Musket Avenue, addressed the City Council regarding
Agenda Item Number 10: An Ordinance to amend Ordinances No. 1253 and No.
1279 known as Huntington Subdivision PUD to be known as Old Battles Village,
Phase II Planned Unit Development (PUD). He said that Truland Homes is building
Phase II; and it is landlocked. The City accepted the bond years ago; and the streets
are 10 or 11 years old and in tough shape. Mr. Ghiiardi said he met with Nathan Cox
and Grant last week; and the one option is to use Queensgate instead of Garrison. He
said one of their main concerns is the 90 degree turn that will have to be made; and
this loo could cause more damage. Truland has assured them that they will help
remedy any damage. He just wanted the City to remember this conversation.
