Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that it is common to require a noise study for any <br />project on a County/State highway. He stated that the project to the southeast also completed a <br />noise study and made some alterations to their building in order to mitigate noise, along with <br />other measures. He commented that the mitigation along Nowthen Boulevard are typically small <br />compared to those properties adjacent Highway 10. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson referenced the cost of the turn lanes, which could be $100,000 or <br />$200,000, and asked if the County would contribute a portion of the improvement cost as it is a <br />County road. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that if the improvement is a reaction to a development <br />proposal, it would be up to the City and developer to fund the improvement. He stated that if the <br />improvement is associated with a long-term study of the corridor, the County could be a partner <br />but noted that the improvement would then not occur for many years. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if the City is allowed to make changes to a County road. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill replied that the City can gain approval for turn lanes from the <br />County. <br /> <br />Ms. Erlandson stated that it seems that it would be appropriate for the noise study to be done, <br />whether it has been a protocol in the past. She commented that this development has very little <br />wiggle room in terms of the available space and layout and therefore wanted to ensure that the <br />proper mitigation elements could be included in the plan. She stated that there are multiple exits <br />she can use from her property and was concerned about the traffic impacts that would occur <br />during construction for existing residents. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer recognized that there would be construction traffic during any project. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Peters, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <br />Commissioner Peters aye <br />Commissioner Woestehoff aye <br />Chairperson Bauer aye <br />Commissioner Johnson aye <br />Commissioner Anderson aye <br />Commissioner Gengler aye <br />Commissioner VanScoy aye <br /> <br />Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 8:07 p.m. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ June 4, 2020 <br />Page 7 of 18 <br /> <br />
