Mounds View Planning Commission September 17 , 1986 Informational Meeting Page Three ernon Hall, 2186 Bronson Drive, stated he was concerned with the raffic increase there would be along Quincy, as he felt most people would use it, as Highway 10 is so busy already. He also stated County Road I is not wide enough to handle the increase in traffic. Mr. Benshoof replied County Road I is scheduled for upgrading in 1987 , and their studies have shown that traffic should not increase significantly on Quincy. Mr . Nelson explained the project will be constructed in four phases, with the first phase to be completed in late 1987 or early 1988. He added he is confident the construction of new Highway 10 will greatly alleviate the problems experienced now. Nelorie Brandt, 1007 Montclair Avenue, stated she lives in the mobile home park and is concerned about getting in and out of there once the extension of Program Avenue goes through. Mr. Benshoof stated that the traffic counts have indicated there should not be much of a change, and if anything, the count would go down, as there would be other alternatives available to people to use. Ms. Brandt stated she would like to see the Bell Lane exit opened, to provide another means of existing the mobile home park. erector Thatcher advised the residents would have to petition the ity to consider opening the exit. He also suggested perhaps putting a three way stop sign at the intersection at the entrance to the mobile home park. Mr. Benshoof again reviewed how the traffic is projected to flow in that area, and how they project it could actually decrease. Charles Miller, 5287 Raymond, stated he has driven trucks for 29 years and he does not feel signs in the development will stop the truckers from driving through to the north, and he doesn' t feel the Police Department can handle trying to control the problem. He added he is also concerned about the increase in car traffic. Mr. Miller stated he knows the property will be developed someday, but he wants to keep the area residential. Jim Lyons, 2279 County Road H2 , stated he has had water problems in the past and asked if the run-off could be directed south. Director Thatcher replied they are considering that option, and it will be more fully addressed when the utilities are planned for the site. Mr. Nelson stated they would cooperate in any way they can with the City to alleviate problems, such as truck traffic, and site drainage 4Itd so forth. He explained the drainage is planned to be handled on e site, and it will not cause problems for those located to the north. He explained they are very aware of erosion controls and so forth to be used during construction, and they do not anticipate having to bring in any additional fill for the area.
