<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />June 11, 1990 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Council Business, continued <br /> <br />Although a public hearing was not required, neighborhood residents <br />located east of the center were informed by staff of the proposed <br />curb cut and the June 11th meeting. <br /> <br />A resident suggested that the curb cut be posted IIIn Only.1I <br /> <br />A resident noted that Friday afternoons and Saturdays illustrate the <br />traffi c problems caused by many cars dri vi ng south thorough the <br />residential area of Pike Lake Drive and entering the center from the <br />east. <br /> <br />A resident suggested angling the curb cut to prevent people from <br />exiting left out of the center. <br /> <br />Henry Larson, 1267 Pike Lake Drive, adamantly opposed a fourth curb <br />cut. Mr. Larson noted the continual traffic increase on residential <br />streets si nce the constructi on of the bank and the center. The <br />traffic problems have caused frustration and inconvenience to the <br />residents. <br /> <br />Brandt Rebe1ein noted the need to reconstruct the southwest corner <br />and provi de wi der and safer turn 1 anes. She also suggested the <br />installation of reflective mirrors to improve visibility. <br /> <br />Phil Goodrich, 1129 Pike Lake Drive, is against the fourth curb cut <br />and feels it is Kraus Anderson I s responsi bil i ty to resolve the <br />difficult traffic situation which was created many years ago. <br /> <br />A resident noted the bottleneck problems at the southwest corner <br />intersection which tend to worsen in the winter. <br /> <br />Benke feels redesigning the surrounding area may provide the needed <br />access and avoid the need for a curb cut. Benke reinforced Kraus <br />Anderson1s long standing responsibilities to provide a creative <br />solution to the problem. <br /> <br />Larson suggested installing a radius island which would travel <br />around the southwest corner 'with a one lane/one-way entrance. Mr. <br />Linke had considered this but found inadequate space for turn lanes <br />and clearance. Brandt Rebelein feels Larson1s idea is feasible and <br />suggested the inclusion of the adjacent City-owned right-of-way. <br /> <br />Howard Petrie, 1171 Pike Lake Drive, said closing the south end of <br />Pike Lake Drive would not be feasible. <br /> <br />Gunderman feels the restaurant is a welcome addition to the center, <br />but is strongly against a fourth curb cut. He agrees that Larson's <br />suggestion is very viable and should be researched. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Brighton Village <br />Proposed Curb Cut <br />Report 90-128 <br />
