Commissioner Van Scoy asked with the extension of Bunker Lake Boulevard, how much traffic <br /> will increase and how it will impact the usage of Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br /> Planning Manager Miller stated the proposed use will generate less traffic than what the previous <br /> proposed subdivision of Summer Set Meadows would have created. The applicant will be <br /> submitting an updated traffic impact analysis. Bunker Lake Boulevard west of Armstrong <br /> Boulevard will be under the City's jurisdiction and not a County road. <br /> Troy Gamble, Anderson Engineering, stated the topography from the west to the east drops about <br /> 12 to 15 feet, with the grading of the roadway it would be a fairly gradual slope. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding traffic patterns, and road and signalization upgrades. <br /> Janie Brock, 15240 Kangaroo Street stated she lives on Alpine Drive and is concerned about <br /> property taxes and traffic with this development. She also thinks that retail would benefit the <br /> whole neighborhood and would be a better option for this site. <br /> City Engineer Himmer responded to the concerns stating that traffic will be reviewed, the <br /> infrastructure cost are born by the developer, and this plan includes a new trail system that gives <br /> pedestrians a linkage to the trail system and ultimately to The COR. <br /> Chairperson Levine stated this is just the beginning of the process and there is a lot of planning <br /> and discussion that will be going on before it is approved. <br /> Commissioner Cleveland stated that this is a good thing because it will bring in more housing, <br /> broaden the tax base and then the demand for retail follows. <br /> Case #6: Staff Update <br /> The Staff Update was noted. <br /> Case #7: Zoning Bulletin <br /> The Zoning Bulletin was noted. <br /> OTHER COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> Associate Planner Gladhill updated the Planning Commission on the Mississippi River Corridor <br /> Critical Area and Shoreland Rules. <br /> Associate Planner Gladhill stated that Happy Days is this weekend and Chairperson Levine <br /> added that there is a pancake breakfast on Saturday at the PACT Charter School as part of Happy <br /> Days. <br /> Special Planning Commission /September 16, 2010 <br /> Page 8 of 9 <br />
