City Council Minutes August 20, 1990 Page 5 e Ed Wortman, 11857 Dodge Avenue, stated that he felt there should be another way to get to Outlot A. Steve Rohlf stated that there could not be another frontage road between Dodge Avenue and Highway 169. Tim Christeen, 11378 189th Avenue, questioned what type of retail would be allowed in the area. It was indicated that if retail were allowed in the area it would be controlled due to traffic volume. Terry Maurer stated that traffic counts have been done in that area. He reviewed with the Council and public the results of the traffic counts. Mr. Maurer indicated that a determining factor of the traffic situation is based on a level of service from A through E. He stated that the level of service at the present time for the Elk Hills/Dodge Street intersection is A, which is considered the highest level of service. Mr. Maurer stated that taking into account that all available lots are filled and Outlot A is consumed by commercial, the traffic count would increase dramatically and the level of service would drop to B. e Mr. Maurer reviewed with the Council the ultimate intersection design for that area. He stated that the intersection has the capacity to handle the traffic generated at the present time and in the future, but it is a question of operation and how much the City wishes to spend on improvements. Terry Maurer further stated that he did not feel this was an unusual situation with the number of vehicles in relation to single family housing. He stated that there are other single family areas in Elk River who have traffic volumes that match or exceed this area. It was the consensus of the City Council to allow some retail uses along with the C-2 uses in Outlot A. 3. Steve Rohlf reviewed the dimensional regulations for the PUD as listed in his memo.
