I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Corkle replied that in Option B there would be 40 trips per day on 155~' Lane. If they close <br />off 155~ Lane he would have to assume that the traffic would continue down to the Yakima exit <br />on 153ra Lane. <br /> <br />A resident stated that they have to look at the overall traffic amounts. He was very concerned <br />about additional traffic on 155~ Lane. He felt that if people want to access 156th Lane they <br />should do so directly from the development to the north. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik noted a letter received from a resident who supported <br />the Council on approving the plat, but he wished there would be more buffeting and transition. <br />He would support a plat with no connection at Ute Street. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith stated that he lives on top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill there is a bike path. <br />There are twenty more kids tiding their bikes on the path then are using the park. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Kurak, Zimmerman, Anderson, <br />and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />The public heating closed at 8:27 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the regular City Council meeting back to order at 8:27 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that the number of lots in the. plat in relationship to the <br />amount of park is inadequate. He would agree to having more cul-de-sacs, because they are a <br />good place to live and traffic is not fast. It may take more time to plow, but they provide more <br />safety for children than a through street. He felt they could do better on density transitioning and <br />he would agree to closing off Ute Street. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired as to what happens after a traffic analysis is completed. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied that the information presented should be included when making a <br />determination. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the Charter states that if a development increases traffic <br />through an existing residential development the Council has to limit the density. It appears that <br />the City has only selected a certain portion of the amendment to enforce. <br /> <br />City Council/September 11, 2001 <br /> Page 8 of 23 <br /> <br />-87- <br /> <br /> <br />
