MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 14, 2002 Dorn asked what would happen when two semi - trucks arrive at the same time at Poolside for a delivery. Stroman reported that Poolside gets one semi delivery per day, sometimes two. When one tuck is unloading, the other pulls in from County Road C and waits until the first truck is unloaded and exits the property via Jackson street. The second truck then pulls up to the dock and is unloaded. Chris Cartony, Jackson Street resident, indicated that truck drivers that are waiting to get into the Poolside property via Jackson street, park on the street and leave their trucks idling right outside his bedroom window.

Cartony asked if the Poolside plan was contingent upon a road improvement going forward. The City Administrator replied that the need for the road improvement is not immediate.

Fahey asked if the sharper radius on the Poolside property addressed the concerns of the neighborhood. He noted that keeping semi -truck traffic from going south on Jackson Street after the Poolside access point, it may not be necessary to improve a full standard City street south of that access. Fahey suggested that perhaps the City should look at the zoning of the residential homes along Jackson Street He suggested that a Residential-
