Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that she reached out to Anoka County about the possibility <br /> of a four way stop and the County did not view a four way stop or traffic light as an option at that <br /> intersection because of spacing. She stated that the County stated that adding a four way stop at <br /> that location could actually make traffic worse down the road. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that volumes of traffic and pedestrians, along with site constraints <br /> have to be reviewed along with a number of warrants. He stated that with these traffic volumes a <br /> four-way stop would not be warranted. He stated that a four-way stop could also create a false <br /> sense of security for pedestrians. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brig1 clarified that the trail along Nowthen is in the plan sheets, although <br /> she did not present that element tonight. <br /> Councilmember Specht stated that he has been contacted by residents about this proposed project. <br /> He stated that he would need to see turn lanes, traffic studies and noise studies included in order <br /> to support this project. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich asked for details on the plan review comments and staff letter mentioned <br /> in the staff report recommendation. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill explained that staff provides comments to the developer in <br /> multiple sources and provided clarification. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Mayor LeTourneau,to Adopt Resolution#20-114 <br /> Approving Preliminary Plat for Hampton Homes with the incorporation of one turn lane. <br /> Further discussion: Councilmember Menth asked why only one turn lane is wanted. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that staff suggested only a northbound turn lane. Deputy City <br /> Administrator Gladhill stated that the priority of residents is the northbound turn lane. He stated <br /> that the southbound turn lane could be addressed during the CR 5 corridor study. Councilmember <br /> Musgrove stated that she would have difficulty supporting this because of the proximity to CR 5 <br /> and the issues with traffic. She stated that she would prefer to have two turn lanes funded by the <br /> developer and therefore would not support this motion. <br /> Motion carried.
