Planning Commission Meeting April 25, 2001- page 3 and was seeking direction from the Commission on ways to control it. The Lake Area Bank President gave the Commission an idea of the amount of drive through traffic they could expect saying the busiest they have been at other stores is approximately 8 cars per hour on a Friday afternoon.

Michele Nelson, 5720 147`h Street North, said the lights would face her windows, the street was like a freeway, the car wash lines were long and, as a nurse, she has responded to several accidents at the intersection.
