Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes • September,17, 1996 Page 4 1 Commissioner Franzese questioned the possibility of installation of a stop sign on 39th Avenue 2 to help with the traffic exiting in and out of the businesses. 3 Mr. Scott stated he felt a stop sign could possibly result in traffic being backed up into the street. 4 He noted the lane to the west of the businesses and the anticipated cross access_ of First Bank will 5 achieve a circular flow of traffic. There will be an exit and entrance into both lots. 6 Mr. Scott stated the project was attempting to attract national quality retailers. He felt this would 7 require a minimum of dual signs on the buildings. 8 Commissioner Makowske commended OPUS and Realty Development for adjusting the parking 9 area to alleviate the parking variance which had initially been considered. 10 Douglas Jones, 2505 Silver Lane N.E., asked if the overhead power line would be removed from 11 the site. 12 Mr. Scott stated the overhead line was being used temporarily for construction of the SuperValu 13 site and would be removed.
