-226- <br /> <br />Mr. Corkle replied that in Option B there would be 40 trips per day on 155' Lane. If they close <br />Off 155th Lane he would have to assume that the traffic would continue down to the Yakima exit <br />on 153rd Lane. <br /> <br />A resident stated that they have to took at the overall traffic amounts. He was very concerned <br />about additional traffic on 155t~ Lane. He felt that if people want to access 156t~ 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 isa b~ke path. <br />There are twenty more kids riding 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.

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. H~ felt they could do.better on ;density'transitioning and. <br />he would agee to closing offUte 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 /> I <br /> i <br /> I- <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
