square sign would be 150.75. Mr. Sikora told him that if "push comes to shovel' Apache would prefer eliminating the 16 square foot logo on the south entrance to the restaurant, which he perceived "was pretty useless anyway. " When Chair Wagner suggested Midwest Federal might have some concerns about a monument sign in that location, Mr. Cavanaugh told him the sign had not been discussed with the bank because the decision was only up to the center. Townhome Residents Across Silver Lake Road Indicate Their- Concerns About Restaurant Eight of the residents from the townhomes across the street were present to speak against the proposal . Chester Kn=, commented that the quality of the five trees in that island now would certainly prevent them from serving as a buffer for the restaurant. Leo Donahue said he lived right across from Midwest Federal and corrected the designation of the service road as being 39th Avenue N.E. , which instead has a semaphore traffic control. When told the service road was not. a. public street, Mr. Donahue said it was certainly used by a lot of the public and he was concerned with the amount of traffic he expected to be generated by this new restaurant. He said he would expect many "young people who play their radios real loud" to frequent this facility during the nighttime hours when -the older people in his townhouse complex would be trying to sleep. He said the area already has a Hardee's and a Zantigo restaurant as well as the oriental restaurant in Apache and Bakers Square on Stinson and he questioned whether another restaurant was needed. The complainant advised against "sinking too many dollars into the facility if its success is going to depend on customers from Apache Plaza. " Mr. Donahue reiterated his concerns about the age of the customers who he perceived would be the most likely restaurant customers. He said he understood thee had been -a lot of police protection required for the Burger ' King at 19th and Central and was concerned his neighborhood would be experiencing the same type of problems with this facility. Mrs. Donahue wondered why the restaurant traffic couldn't be directed behind Apache instead of onto Silver Lake Road or at least required to use the semaphore exit instead of the service road. Dale Siegrist indicated he wasnt certain who was responsible for maintaining the service road next to the apartments which the Burger . King customers would be using, but indicated he had observed that �Ilwatching the cars slipping, sliding, and rear ending on that incline the past few winters had been a real circus" . He indicated he expected the accidents which occurred on that road would be compounded unless the street is sanded and better maintained if the restaurant goes in. 12
