Little Canada Mayor and City Council 13 August 1984 Page Two Allen Avenue Plan. The following resolutions were adopted in 1981 regarding the Allen Avenue Area Plan: Resolution No. 81 -10 -635 = Approving the plan for the development of the Payne Avenue -Allen Avenue Area as submitted by the Planning Commission with the addition of the short section of Allen Avenue through to Greenbrier and subject to the recommendations of the Park Commission. Resolution No. 81 -10 -636 - Declaring that if at a future date it becomes possible for the cul -de -sac proposed to end at the Germain property to become a through street to Lahore Road that it be reflected in the plan for the development of the area. Resolution No. 81 -10 -637 - Declaring that the plan adopted for the development of the Allen Avenue -Payne Avenue Area be made a part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Exhibit 6 (attached) is a copy of the Allen Avenue Area Plan as adopted (including the Park Commission's recommended Resolution No. 81 -11 -674). The main issues resolved in the Allen Avenue Area Plan were: 1. The impact of potential traffic volumes created by the development of the property between Payne Avenue and Greenbrier Street on the adjacent developed residential properties (specifically Payne Avenue and Greenbrier Street). 2. Complete road access which would efficiently serve the long, narrow parcels in this area. The proposed Thunder Bay Estates is inconsistent with the adopted Allen Avenue Area Plan. Allen Avenue is proposed to be a through street from Payne Avenue to Greenbrier Street. After studying the proposed plat, the character of this area, and the case history of the Allen Avenue Plan, we have concluded that the proposed street layout is workable with the goals established in the Allen Avenue study. The Planner's Report dated 3 July 1984 addressed the issue of traffic volumes as follows: "The Allen Avenue Area is surrounded by Edgerton Street, County Road D, Arcade Street and Lahore Road. Because these major traffic carriers are available in all directions, there is no motive for through traffic to use the local streets. Allen Avenue does not directly link with any of these roads, further removing it from becoming a potential collector. 7.
