I MAYnR AND CITY CUIINCIL PAGE TW) ,IUNF 30, 1986 1. The noise levels generated by highway traffic indicate that residential development not take place within 250 to 300 feet of the Hiqhway 10 roadway. 2. exposure of highway fronLage properties to substantial traffic volumes of llighway 10 indicate a potential of success for commercial activities within the study area." To try to make an issue of the fact that a single family home has been constructed along Highway 10 and conclude that it is also suitable for residential use misses the point. +then planning the development of the community, the City mvst make a decision as to what an area is "most suitable" for. of course s,me people may find it suitable for something other thin that which we anticipate, but others won't and we will then have A partially developed area or we will get a mix of uses not to dissimilar to thet which seems to be occurring along Trunk Highway 10 at this time. Ay desianatina the area for those uses felt to be "most" suitable, the City should be able to avoid the I problems inherent with mixed and incompatible uses and truly plan for sound aesthetically pleasing development. 3. "The residents of this community have expressed that they do not want to develop frontage roads.' The Planning Commission correctly concludes that the residents of Districts 6 and 12 have expressed a desire for no frontage roads. A careful evaluation of the Wuronos Report, however, reveals that in the case of the four sights specifically addressed, only one, site A, can he said to have a proposal for a frontage road. In the case of the other three sites B, C, and D, a sinqle access point to a shared parking area is recommended. For all four sites, the report recommends buffering from adjacent properties and Trunk Highway 10 using .earth berms, planting?, and possible fencing." Such prnpnsals would make this development signifi- cantly different from the frontaqe roads along Central and University Avenues which are given as examples of undesireable development by the Planning Commission. 4. "The City has not been successful in its attempt tv estahlish a development district."
