Councilmember Hankner asked if the
Planning Commission reviewed the Compre-
hensive Plan as part of their site review
and requested chronological information from
the Staff on the review process.
She further indicated that she and Council
member Quick had "doorknocked" the area and
discussed with residents their concerns
regarding the development proposal. She then
listed the advantages and disadvantages she
has identified for the project.
Mike Johnson, 2165 Belle Lane indicated to the
Council that he was concerned about traffic
speed and noise on Quincy Street and agreed
that the placement of a stop sign at Bronson
and Quincy would be acceptable to himself.
Russ Pahl, 7940 Greenfield requested that
Council consider the intent of the City's
Comprehensive Plan rather than the actual
words as he felt it was the intent of the
Council adopting the Comprehensive Plan to
protect residential areas from non residential
traffic.
Dave Mitchell, 5493 Quincy indicated that the
street improvements on Quincy and H -2 had
created problems by allowing parking on both
sides and indicated that he felt the crosswalk
on Quincy should have a traffic control located at
it
Doris Lelm, 2139 Belle Lane addressed the issue
of speeding traffic and hazardous traffic condi-
tions.
Keith Peacock, 5453 Quincy wanted to know how
many businesses would be developed and why the
developer needed access onto County Road H -2.
He also voiced concern that residential properties
in the area are being sold to young families which
will mean more children and therefore greater
traffic hazards.
Glenn Dawson, 2201 Lambert indicated that his
observation showed that most developments of a
sLmilar nature have roads providing no direct
access through the eni:ire site and that the road
pattern for this development should be modified.

Dave Kraft, 5300 Quincy indicated he felt
there should be more accesses to 35W and
Trunk Highway 10.
Wally Johnson, representing his mother who
resides at 2287 County Road H -2 indicated that
the developer should make greater use of road
designs to direct traffic from H -2 or discourage
it completely.
Laurie Shoop, 2186 Lambert indicated that she
felt traffic problems had just begun along
Quincy Street.
Kay Radlinger, 2199 H -2 voiced opposition to
access from the development Quincy and H -2.
Leroy Cherin, 5485 Quincy voiced concerns
regarding possible truck traffic along
Quincy Street.
Councilmember Haake offered a compromise for
consideration by the City Council redesigning the
site and prohibiting access onto Quincy and County
Road H -2.
Susan Mitcnell, 5493 Quincy voiced concerns regarding
truck traffic and numbers of vehicle trips.
Tim Nelson responded to concerns of residents and
indicated that the developer is not interested in
a development with ring roads and would withdraw their
proposal should no access be allowed onto H -2.
Councilmember Haake pointed out that the developer
has also requested tax increment financing. The
lack of a ring road allows maximum use of the site
and wants the developer to consider some of alter-
natives proposed in discussions during the evening.
Clerk- Administrator Pauley explained the theory of
tax increment financing. Councilmember Haake
indicated that if this developer didn't develop then
another would. Councilmember Quick and Councilmember
Blanchard to approve Resolution No. 2109. Council

Keith Peacock, 5453 Quincy Street requested
time while the Council was still in Special
Session to discuss with the Council additional
information regarding the JLN Development Proposal.
He felt that the residents were not heard and
that they feel they were denied their rights. The
residents are willing to compromise and can't under-
stand why the developer isn't willing to compromise
as well until the need for additional accesses onto
County Road H -2 can be proven.
Mayor Linke stated he feels the residents weren't
willing to compromise because they wanted no accesses
onto County Road H -2.
