MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION August 9, 1990 DeLonais pointed out that the than the lay -out of Vanderbie Costa agreed, and pointed out Avenue and Ontario Road lying Road are long streets and the • proposal is no different that Valento Lane, Payne between Allen and LaBore situation works out well. Drabik pointed out that this is an unfair assumption since the Commission is not asking the residents of that area their feeling for the long streets. Drabik felt the long streets were not good for inter - neighborhood travel. The Planner pointed out that if a street runs all the way through, a cross street is not required by Code. However, cross streets do slow down traffic speeds. Jack Fitzgerald pointed out that cross streets will provide access to the park, otherwise children will be cutting through yards to get to the park. James Michaud, 485 Allen Avenue, stated that he did not want Noel Drive to run through to Allen Avenue. His home is located directly across the street from where Noel Drive would come through. DeBace again asked for approval of the preliminary plat as presented contingent upon Noel Drive running through to Alien Avenue and LaBore Road. If this proves not to be possible, the recommendation for cross streets will be looked at. Drabik had concern with approving the preliminary plat as requested without the requirement of cross streets. Drabik felt cross streets should be required even if Noel Drive can be put through to Allen Avenue and LaBore Road. Garske suggested that at a minimum a walkway from Noel Drive to DeSoto Avenue be provided for access to the park. DeBace did not believe there would be a problem providing a walkway easement noting that there are already utility easements required on property lines. Drabik pointed out that the Park Commission will have to make a recommendation on this plat. DeBace commented that normally the Park Commission requires a cash park charge which is paid at the time Page 6
