Commissioner Jensen replied that the Commission needs some input from staff regarding the <br />suggested changes before they can make any recommendation. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson stated that he is not comfortable with forwarding anything to Council at <br />this time because he does not know if the development can be accomplished at all because of the <br />traffic concerns. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the traffic analysis of the area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt stated that he does not think the traffic study is a realistic evaluation of the <br />traffic problems in the area because he has driven through the existing neighborhood on many <br />occasions and has personally witnessed the traffic problems. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson stated that he would like a response from staff regarding the latest <br />suggestions to the site plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jensen stated that she would like the right-in right-out access from C.R. #116 to <br />access the townhome development as well as the apartments. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow stated that he would not be in favor of providing the access to the townhome <br />development because it would not be the safest access from the ~esidents in the townhome <br />development. He stated that it is best to keep the traffic between the two developments separate. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dempsey inquired if it would be possible to construct Barium Street as a one-way <br />southbound street if it is connected to the existing neighborhood. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that it would be possible to post the street a one-way. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dempsey stated that he would like to know if it would be possible to construct the <br />street physically narrower, but wide enough to allow plowing. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Dempsey, seconded by Commissioner Jensen, to suggest that Argon <br />Street be a cul-de-sac within the development, evaluate the possibility of constructing Barium <br />Street as a one-way to prohibit any northbound traffic and the concept of a making Barium Street <br />a cul-de-sac with no access to the existing development with staff presenting a report to the <br />Commission regarding both plans. And deal with any issues regarding the apartments at such a <br />time it is appropriate. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Dempsey, Jensen, <br />Kociscak, Nixt, and Wivoda. Voting No: None. Absent: Commission Johnson. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 20, 2000 <br />.: Page 14 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
