City Engineer Linton advised there will be a T intersection between the new street and the <br />existing City Hall driveway, with no bituminous out to the current south edge of the driveway. <br />City Hall access will be upgraded to accommodate the traffic. <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if there has been consideration of the comments raised regarding the <br />school access being off of Alpine Drive. 'He questioned if there is enough road width preserved <br />if the County were to require access to the school off of Alpine Drive. <br />City Engineer Linton replied there was discussion about making Helium Streeet wider to allow <br />for on -street parking for school events. He does not know if there has been consideration of <br />moving all of the middle school traffic to Alpine Drive. <br />City Engineer Jankowski indicated a 60 foot right-of-way would be adequate to handle traffic; <br />the pavement could.be widened and traffic restricted to accommodate the access. <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik explained that the Council wanted 152nd <br />Avenue, 152°d Lane and Helium Street to all go through for connectivity between neighborhoods. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy explained the extension of Helium Street relates to some of the <br />concerns regarding safety and access. Currently, these are two separate neighborhoods with no <br />connection and no alternate access in case of a catastrophe. He indicated he would support this <br />extension as long as some of the other safety concerns are addressed. <br />Ms. Leikhus stated people turning from CR 5 cause a safety concern. There are a lot of people <br />that come down that road at a good speed, and they are not pulling over to the side to turn. If <br />Helium Street is made into a through street there may be more of a hazard because there will be <br />more people turning and more stops on CR 5. 0 <br />Planning Conimissiou/November 3, 2005 <br />—2487- Page 16 of 31 <br />
