Reports of Staff. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer stated the Finance Department was preparing for the final audit which <br />would be completed in two weeks. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald reported on Monday, February 4th the Council <br />reviewed two different sketch plans. He commented further on these sketch plans which were <br />for Long Lake Woods and Crossroad Pointe. He requested the Council provide staff with <br />direction on Crossroad Pointe with respect to Greenfield Avenue. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn stated the Council decided not to take additional public comment <br />regarding this matter since only three members were in attendance at the February 4th <br />worksession meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked how staff believed traffic would flow in and out of the Crossroad Pointe <br />property. Community Development Director Sevald stated this would be difficult to tell and <br />would be determined in the future based on driver behavior. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause commented on the route he took to and from work for years. He <br />stated he believed the City would not be able to determine how traffic would flow in and out of <br />Crossroad Pointe but rather this would be determined by the future tenants based on where they <br />had to commute to work. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron stated he was in favor of the hammerhead cul-de-sac on Greenfield <br />Avenue. He commented further on the amount of traffic that would be flowing onto Greenfield <br />Avenue if this roadway were to remain open. He was of the opinion Greenfield Avenue was not <br />constructed to manage this high level of traffic. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull questioned if the City could plow a hammerhead cul-de-sac. Public <br />Works Director Peterson indicated if the roadway were to remain open, it would be difficult to <br />determine who was responsible for the plowing. He reported a normal cul-de-sac would be a <br />better option and noted the Public Works Department could successfully plow a hammerhead <br />cul-de-sac. He supported the Council pursuing a hammerhead cul-de-sac for Greenfield Avenue. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull stated he was leaning towards a connection. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause commented he could go either way on this matter. He commented <br />further on how the developer had shifted the apartment building on the property. He noted staff
