1 PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> 2 AUGUST 20 , 1991 <br /> PAGE 9 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 the information gathered was very useful . <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Faust felt that residents of different, parts of the City have <br /> 8 some different interests. There is a need to get an overall <br /> 9 picture. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 The City Manager referred to the proposed speed limit for <br /> 12 Silver Lake Road. He noted that presently a vote is being <br /> 13 taken by secret ballot of lakeshore property owners. He felt <br /> 14 this is a good example of an idea being presented and it did <br /> 15 not reflect the position of the majority. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 He was of the opinion that very good response on this issue <br /> 18 has been received and there have been some volunteers signing <br /> 19 up for the Road Task Force. Very good input and direction was <br /> 0 received from these people. <br /> 22 Franzese felt there is going to be a duplication of the <br /> 23 presentation, first to a Citizens ' Committee and then to the <br /> 24 Planning Commission. It was her position that the forum is <br /> 25 underused and that citizens should be encouraged to bring <br /> 26 their concerns and comments to the Planning Commission. <br /> 27 <br /> It was the City Manager ' s observation that people respond more <br /> when they are affected, such as in the case of the Walgreen' s <br /> 0 issue. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Traffic patterns and circulation was addressed as was the <br /> 33 actual physical and design planning. Also, the exits from the <br /> 34 Fire Station were considered. The City Manager felt that <br /> 35 property owners in the area know first-hand the needs of a <br /> 36 given project . <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Gondorchin hoped that the plan is not only for beautification <br /> 39 but considers the issues of commerce as well . <br /> 40 <br /> 41 The City Manager advised that he received a call from Roger <br /> 42 Bona, who owns a service station in the area, indicating his <br /> 43 interest in being involved in the matter. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Franzese felt that with all of the benefits to be gained from <br /> 46 a Citizens ' Committee that perhaps Apache Plaza should be <br /> 47 addressed as well . <br /> 48 <br /> 49 The City Manager responded that starting on the south side of <br /> 50 the City and working the way up was the decision. <br /> 51 <br /> 52 Gondorchin felt the area of 37th and Silver Lake Road was an <br /> unsightly area as well . <br />
