<br />. <br /> Loop had become an arterial in the last three years. He implored <br />- Council to give serious consideration to the appeal and delay develop- <br /> ment until a definitive traffic study could be made. <br /> Arnie Pluid, 265 Fairway Loop, noted he and several neighbors had to <br /> back out of their driveways onto Fairway Loop, with a resulting <br /> hazardous condition. He recognized the very serious problem in that <br /> area. <br /> Dan O'Neil, 2157 Eastwood Lane, said during the peak hours of traffic <br /> it was difficult to get onto Oakway Road. The intersection of Country <br /> Club Road created a large backup of traffic. He said this was a <br /> situation that is already clustered and there is no answer. He <br /> thought before the development were approved, there should be some <br /> careful consideration given to finding a traffic pattern that will <br /> work. He entered a petition into the record signed by the neighbor- <br /> hood people. <br /> Speaking against the appeal was: Peter Thompson, 2440 Oak <br /> Grove Drive, representing the applicant, Robert Bennett. He fel t there <br /> had been an equitable solution to the traffic problem, worked out by <br /> City staff and the developers, that would create minimal impact, and <br /> traffic would be moved expeditiously. Access off Eastwood Lane <br /> would be as close as possible to Reed & Cross and the other access <br /> down Fairway Loop. He said there would be only 58 units in the <br /> development, noting it would be 8.4 units per acre, which was consi- <br /> derably under the 10 units per acre allowed under current zoning. <br />e With the 8 units, 350 to 450 trips per day would be generated, and he <br /> felt this would not impact traffic. It was noted that unimproved <br /> roads can handle 10,000 trips per day. It was felt that the develop- <br /> ment plans would minimize the impact of traffic on the area. <br /> Robert Bennett, applicant, said he had met several times with the <br /> neighborhood groups, and worked with the Planning and Traffic staff. <br /> Given the constraints of the plan, the basic zoning was less than 10 <br /> units per acre, limited access, that it will be basically an adult <br /> proj ec 1:e, he said he could not think of anything else he could do to <br /> make it a better proj ect for the area. He felt it would be a quality <br /> project that would not encroach on the area or be an incompatible use. <br /> Rather, it would be an asset and not a liability to the community. <br /> Brandy Uhrbrand, 2181 Eastwood Lane, felt the impact of the develop- <br /> ment would very minimal. She said the traffic problem was not created <br /> by the residents, but rather by through traffic. She would like to <br /> see owner-occupi ed units developed, and hoped these owners mi ght j o;n <br /> the other residents in finding a better traffic solution. <br /> Mr. Saul said the change in traffic flow on that portion of Fairway <br /> Loop as proposed would have to be formally approved by both Planning <br /> Commission and City Council. He said conditions were established for <br /> specifically minimizing traffic impact and by offering direct and <br /> alternate access without using Eastwood Lane. Also, he said if the <br />e condition were not established, Eastwood would have to bear all the <br /> 6/26/78--9 <br /> tf'3 <br />
