Community Development Staff was consulted regarding the potential <br />development of the property to the northwest of the intersection. It was <br />concluded that likelihood was very low for development of the parcel within the <br />next five years. Therefore, the recommended design would best serve the <br />intersection as it exists today. If the area to the northwest were to develop in the <br />future, reconfiguration of the intersection to include a fourth leg to the west could <br />be made a condition of the future development. <br />Based on this information and their discussion,the Committee recommends (by <br />a unanimous 7-0 vote) that the intersection be reconfigured to make the major <br />movement through the intersection be from the south leg of Edgewood Drive to <br />Laport Drive and have the north leg of Edgewood Drive “tee” into Laport Drive. <br />This recommendation is coming forward to the City Council from the Streets and <br />Utilities Committee for review and discussion. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is looking for direction from Council with regard to this recommendation <br />from the Streets and Utilities Committee, so the design of the 2009 – 2010 Street <br />and Utility Improvement Project can proceed accordingly. As has been done with <br />previous design issues on this project, the direction from the Council on this <br />issue will be prepared as a Resolution to be brought back to the Council for <br />formal approval at a future City Council meeting. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Joseph R.
