<br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Mr. Mark Hamel, Life Fitness/Brunswick Corporation, stated they have some concerns <br />about what is coming in there. <br /> <br />Mr. Len Stachowski, 14261 Xenon St. NW, asked if this was going to be a right-inJright- <br />out at the intersection. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated the County was putting everyone on notice that sometime <br />in the future there will be raised medians with only right-inJright-out turns on Sunfish <br />Lake and Bunker Lake Boulevards. <br /> <br />Mr. Stachowski stated he had concerns because of the proposed traffic control changes. <br />Mr. Stachowski stated he would be opposed to any retail development on this comer <br />because of possible vacant buildings because of the future access impossibilities. He <br />stated if there were not any access restrictions he would not be opposed to any retail <br />development. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes stated she had a long extended conversation with the manager <br />of Casey's regarding this and the retail difficulties and comers with right-in/right-out <br />only access restrictions. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt thought they needed to consider signalization and a traffic control . <br />intersection at this comer. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy indicated he seconded those concerns. . He wondered if the <br />applicant will be able to populate this once in there and they have the right-in/right-out <br />access. <br /> <br />Mr. Wayman stated until they have approval for this land use change, it is hard to get <br />people to look at it. He did not think there was any other alternative to this land but if <br />there is something else they can do to eliminate the right-inJright-out access that would be <br />helpful. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes stated the reason they are requiring the right-in/right-out now is <br />because it is three years away; this is a way to put everyone on alert about the future <br />traffic control changes and the change in access has been known to reduce accidents. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed different areas with retail businesses that have had right- <br />in/right-out only access. <br /> <br />Mr. Stachowski wondered if this happens are they going to ask ACE Solid Waste to have <br />to do U-Turns to access their site because there will not be any stop light in between the <br />railroad tracks and the stop light and trying to maneuver those vehicles will be difficult. <br /> <br />-133- <br /> <br />
