COUNCIL MINUTES DRAFT 3 residents of the request and that the council would consider the matter this evening. If the council 88 were to approve the use, staff has recommended several conditions be attached. 89 Ellen Testin, 8016 Danube Street – She finds the comments about noise to be ridiculous. In the 90 past she has voiced concern about noise from nearby development (gas station and liquor store) and 91 it fell on deaf ears. She finds Waldoch to be a good neighbor and she doesn’t anticipate problems 92 with their use of the street. She remains concerned about problems caused by the gas station/liquor 93 store in her neighborhood. 94 95 Mayor Reinert explained that the City can address concerns as they hear about them. If there are 96 issues pertaining to the gas station, perhaps there should be another meeting on that matter. 97 Steve Moser, 953 81st Street, said he has lived in Lino since 1978 and he lives right next to 98 Waldoch Farms. He has no problem with several weekends in the fall utilizing that exit. That little 99 bit of traffic shouldn’t create that much noise. He believes Waldoch Farms has managed the event 100 very well. 101 Council Member Manthey remarked that Mr. Moser’s comments are very important because his 102 property is located right at the spot. He asked Mr. Moser if he is aware of any neighbors that do 103 have concerns about the request. Mr. Moser said yes. Council Member Manthey asked about Mr. 104 Moser’s traffic expectations and he said although he can’t be certain of the numbers, he doesn’t 105 anticipate it would be a problem. 106 Dawn Bush, 8015 Elbe Street, said she has lived on Elbe for 42 years and she doesn’t see any 107 problem at all with the request to use the street. She lives off Main Street and she’s confident that 108 there will be proper direction by the Waldochs. She’s talked to neighbors and has not heard a lot of 109 opposition. 110 Doug Joyer, 8325 West Rondeau Lake Drive, Waldoch Farms (applicant) – explained that they 111 (Waldoch Farms) intend to have public safety staff assist on flashlight night. He also explained the 112 helpful signage they intend to use to direct people. He noted that construction on Interstate 35 is 113 impacting traffic on Lake Drive (increasing) so that makes it even more important to have this exit 114 alternative. 115 Council Member Manthey asked, what are the key issues that this would alieve? Mr. Joyer said 116 he’s learned from professionals that having an entrance and exit is the best. 117 Council Member Maher asked what the council or public has heard from neighbors who are 118 opposed. Council Member Manthey said traffic concerns, including the possibility of cars driving 119 onto private property. Mr. Joyer said they will be directing cars away from the property line. 120 A resident noted that this is an annual permit so it if doesn’t work well, it shouldn’t be considered in 121 the future. 122 123 Mayor Reinert said that public safety personnel from the City may be involved in traffic 124 management. 125
