<br />I - <br />I <br /> change in the diverters. He said while the property does extend to <br /> Southwood Lane, it does not have access to Southwood Lane. A 1 so, i f <br /> the change as suggested to one-way status of Fairway Loop is not e <br /> permitted, all access (ingress and egress) would have to occur on <br /> Eastwood Lane. <br /> Mr. Hamel wondered if staff had given any consideration to the present <br /> situation, noting the heavy traffic because of the increased develop- <br /> ment in the Oakway area. Jim Hanks, Traffic Engineer, said the <br /> conditions are not ideal, but the roads do have the capacity to handle <br /> the traffic generated by this development. He said a daily traffic <br /> count in November showed the following: Eastwood Lane, 990 cars per <br /> day; Westwood Lane, 240 cars per day; Fairway Loop south of Eastwood, <br /> 2,200 cars per day; and Fairway Loop near Country Club Road, 900 cars <br /> per day. Residential units would generate six to eight trips per <br /> dwelling unit per day. <br /> In calling for ex parte contacts, Mr. Hamel noted he had had <br /> several phone calls on the issue and would abstain if Council so <br /> no ted . There was no such indication. No other Councilors indi- <br /> cated ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest. <br /> Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. <br /> Public hearing was opened. <br /> Scott Taylor, 24913 Woodland Avenue, Veneta, the attorney representing <br /> the Fairway Loop residents, spoke in favor of the appeal. He noted e <br /> recent studies regarding the traffic in the area already indicated a <br /> very serious problem. Access is clustered and difficult. He fel t the <br /> proposal would favor the new residences because it would move the <br /> traffic diverter. The total concern regarded the traffic in the area. <br /> He hoped Council would request a traffic engineering plan with citizen <br /> input to develop a better traffic situation for the area. <br /> Gene Williamson, 2160 Fairway Loop, felt the City had recognized the <br /> traffic problem on Fairway Loop. He said through traffic is fast, <br /> and on a narrow street that is in need of repair and has no sidewalks <br /> or gutters. He noted a safety hazard for children playing in the <br /> area. The, development would add 70 percent more people and autos in <br /> a neighborhood that has developed its character over the last 40 <br /> years. He cited the 1990 Plan, and submitted that the density and <br /> traffic that would be generated by this development would be incompat- <br /> ible and would encroach on the neighborhood. <br /> Bill Flegal, 2020 Westwood Lane, said the neighborhood is extremely <br /> concerned about the development with the attendent traffic problems. <br /> He said the City has already acknowledged the existence of a serious <br /> traffic problem with this area. That problem would be further exacer- <br /> bated by all of the development to the north. It seemed illogical to <br /> him to further compound that prOblem with high-density development. <br /> He felt it would be unfair to the residents to increase the traffic <br /> before a solution to the problem has been developed. He fel t Fairway <br /> -- <br /> 6/26/78--8 <br /> Af~2.. <br />
