Jolleen Clymer, Chief Executive Officer of the Young Men's

the signage came about as a result of a meeting with the
Yankee Hill Neighborhood Association.
She said they are looking for support to install the signage
so they can minimize the traffic congestion outside the park.

Don Thomas, County Engineer, said he thought half of the road
was the State's and the other half was County, however, he
would review it.

Nebraska, Department of Roads. On call Steinman,

Waverly Road in Lancaster County, Nebraska (Preliminary Plat
97006) (Resolution No. 5530).
Steinman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished
to testify in favor of the preliminary plat.
Lyle Loth, ESP Engineer, appeared on behalf of Pearle Finigan
and explained this would be the completion of a preliminary
plat which began 1978.
No one appeared in opposition.
Mike DeKalb, Planning, appeared in a neutral position. He
said the preliminary plat was ready and the final plat had
been submitted.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Tussing moved and Campbell seconded approval of
Resolution 5530. On call Tussing, Campbell,
Hudkins, Steinman and Svoboda voted aye. Motion

C. A preliminary plat for Branched Oak Lakeside Acres, requested
by Jack Tuma for WTK Company, Inc., consisting of 15 single
family lots, on property located west of Branched Oak Lake on
Northwest 140th Street and West Rock Creek Road in Lancaster
County, Nebraska (Preliminary Plat 97008).
D. A special permit, Branched Oak Lakeside Acres, requested by
Jack Tuma for WTK Company, Inc., consisting of 15 dwelling
units within 1,320 feet of public lake property, located west
of Branched Oak Lake on Northwest 140th Street and West Rock
Creek Road in Lancaster County, Nebraska (Special Permit
148).
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Hudkins explained his farming operation was approximately
one-half mile from the proposed location of Branched Oak
Lakeside Estates. He said he has asked that a letter be sent
to the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission
requesting a response as to whether there would be a
conflict of interest on voting on Branched Oak Acres. The
alleged basis of the conflict would be that any action taken
by Lancaster County in approving the subdivision of land in
the area could have an affect of increasing the value of his
property. Hudkins stated he had no intentions of developing
his property. A copy of the letter to the Accountability and
Disclosure Commission, along with several maps, was submitted
into the record (Exhibit A).
Michael Rierden, attorney representing the applicants,
appeared and submitted new drawings. He explained that the
original proposal was for 15 lots with the issues being the
200 yard buffer zone and density. He said, after review,
they have now reduced the density to 11 lots. The
differences between the original request (15 lots) and the
current request (11 lots) are as follows:
a. Elimination of road to the south which connected with the
Guenzel property
b. Relocation of road connecting to the northeast corner of
the Guenzel property
c. Extend the 200 yards from the property line on Lots 4
and 5
d. Request of a waiver of 25 yards on Lot 6 in order to
allow for a buildable lot and a road connection
Submitted into the record by Rierden were the following:
a. Letter from Steven Guenzel (Exhibit B)
b. Proposed language for notification to future owners of
lots regarding the activities of the Nebraska Field Trial
Association who lease land from the Nebraska Game and
Parks Commission, generated vehicle trips and the change
in Seward County's zoning ordinance (Exhibit C)
c. A motion for deletion of Condition 1.2.13 and
substitution of new language (Exhibit D)
Jerry Lawton, who farms property owned by his cousin which
abuts the property, said he was in favor of the development.
He explained that the road on the south end of their property
had been closed by the County. Lawton said they do have an
easement, however, it isn't maintained very well and is
difficult to get equipment through to their farm ground.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to testify in opposition.
Mark Brohman of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
testified in opposition. He stated they still feel Branched
Oak Lake needs the most protection and that their biggest
concern is the 200 yard buffer zone. Brohman told the Board
it would be almost impossible to enforce the buffer zone
statute if the 25 yard waiver were granted for Lot 6.
Other concerns of Brohman's were as follows:
a. Increased traffic and the noise of heavy farm equipment
b. Change in landscape
c. Notice provision in the covenants
d. Sewage
e. Water
Edsel Grove, Nebraska Field Trial Association, appeared in
opposition and submitted a petition of signatures in
opposition (Exhibit E). He said they support the 200 yard
buffer and some type of protective covenant preventing
nuisance lawsuits.
Charles Truelson, attorney for the Nebraska Field Trial
Association, appeared and discussed the notification
provision to purchasers. He suggested Number 12 in the
preliminary plat should be modified to read "notification to
and restrictions of purchasers". There should also be
additional language in Number 12 stating "and purchasers are
restricted from and are hereby deemed to waive, now and in
the future, any complaints regarding said uses".
Tom Lanz, Safari Club International, Nebraska Chapter,
appeared and said he was pleased to see the lower density,
however, he urged the Board to seriously look at Lawton's
property. He expressed concern about setting a precedent for
developments.
Steve Mann, 1411 D Street, appeared and expressed his
opposition.
Campbell asked if she was correct in her understanding that
the County must have road connections.
Mike DeKalb, Planning Department, appeared in a neutral
position and explained the County's design standards require
connections at the quarter-mile so that abutting lands can be
developed, however, a waiver may be obtained.
At the direction of the Chair, the public hearings for a
preliminary plat and a special permit for Branched Oak
Lakeside Acres will be continued to Tuesday, August 12, 1997
at 1:30 p.m.
5) NEW BUSINESS:
A. An application for a Special Designated Permit from the
Nebraska State Board of Agriculture to hold the Anheuser-
Busch "Budweiser Beer School" on the State Fair grounds from
Friday, August 22, 1997 through Monday, September 1, 1997,
hours will be from 9 a.m. to midnight each day, except
Sundays when the hours will be noon to midnight.
MOTION: Tussing moved and Svoboda seconded approval.
Sharon Schrock, Nebraska State Board of Agriculture and Gil
Goldsmith, D & D Distributing, appeared.
Campbell asked if the "Budweiser Beer School" was the only
alcohol served at State Fair Park during the State Fair.
Schrock replied that they have beer gardens which are
permanently licensed.
Campbell also asked how many times an individual can go
through the school.
Goldsmith said the cups are seven ounces and explained that
the chances of someone being intoxicated in the class are
very slim. He added they don't plan on serving anyone who is
intoxicated.
