Motion by Commissioner Gengler, seconded by Commissioner Peters, to recommend that City <br /> Council adopt Ordinance #21-03 and Resolution #21-015 approving actions related to the <br /> Riverstone South Preliminary Plat. <br /> Further discussion <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked for a friendly amendment to the motion to request the Council to <br /> review the second access to Bowers Drive as he is also opposed to not having a second access for <br /> that neighborhood. Chairperson Bauer asked for input from the Council discussion on that topic. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented that the consensus was divided, but overall, the Council <br /> respected the concerns from the Bowers Drive residents related to safety concerns that would arise <br /> from adding additional traffic onto the narrow Bowers Drive. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill <br /> commented that the was a strong consensus from the Council to not have that connection. He <br /> noted that there were even concerns from the Bowers Drive neighborhood with a pedestrian <br /> connection because of the narrow road and lack of sidewalk. He stated that while one or two <br /> members of the Council may have still favored the connection, the strong majority opposed that. <br /> Chairperson Bauer stated that the issue of a second access to Bowers Drive is separate of this <br /> request and stated that this action should first be considered and then a separate action could be <br /> taken related to a secondary access for Bowers Drive. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Commissioner Gengler aye <br /> Commissioner Peters aye <br /> Commissioner Anderson nay <br /> Commissioner VanScoy aye <br /> Chairperson Bauer aye <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to recommend that <br /> City Council reconsider the connection to Bowers Drive, at some form, for public safety reasons. <br /> Further discussion <br /> Commissioner Peters stated that he thought he recalled different ways to manage an emergency <br /> pathway for vehicles and asked what happened with that. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill <br /> stated that option was discussed internally but there was not enough support to move anything <br /> forward that would allow pedestrians or vehicles. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Commissioner Anderson aye <br /> Commissioner VanScoy aye <br /> Planning Commission/January 7,2021 <br /> Page 16 of 19 <br />
