Ms. Szklarski asked for direction <br />from the people who live in the area, if there were any objections to <br />the City readdressing the area on the west side of the dam. <br /> <br />Mrs. Carmon Pouliot stated that she was opposed to readdressing. <br /> <br />Chairman Johnson opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Joe Pouliot of 207 York Avenue stated that he had concerns regarding <br />traffic safety with the plat. Mr. Pouliot proposed Wl alternative site <br />plan with the new street intersecting with Mississippi Road due to <br />potential safety concerns with traffi c coming on to York Street. He <br />further stated that he had some questions regarding drainage in the <br />plat. <br /> <br />Carmon Pouliot stated that there is a large hill at the intersection of <br />2nd Street and York Avenue on which kids in the neighborhood ride their <br />bikes. She was concerned for their safety because it is difficult see <br />around the corner after coming down the hill. <br /> <br />Janelle Szklarski, Zoning Assistant, stated that Mr. Pouliot did come <br />in and talk to staff about his safety concerns. Staff talked to Terry <br />Maurer, City Engineer regarding his concerns and Mr. Maurer was going <br />to review the safety issues again. As far as Mr. Pouliot alternative <br />plan, staff does not feel it would be a safer route to have traffic <br />coming onto Mississippi Road. This specific alignment was addressed at <br />the concept review meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Pouliot felt the new road proposed in the plat was more of a safety <br />concern than his alternative plan. <br /> <br />Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated that this was <br />specifically addressed at the concept review meeting. Staff felt that <br />adding a third intersection in this location with the existing, <br />confusing turning movements would create a real traffic hazard. Staff <br />agrees with Terry Maurer, Ci ty Engineer, that the City should not add <br />an additional intersection between the >>y>> on Mississippi Road and York <br />Street. <br /> <br />Mr. Pouliot asked who was going to guarantee him that he was not going <br />to have additional sewer and water problems because of the plat. Mr. <br />Pouliot was also concerned with the value of his home depreciating. <br /> <br />Mr. Rohlf addressed his concerns stating that as far as storm l'un off <br />in the area, the situation would improve because the new street will be <br />upgraded with concrete curb and gutter and the plat will be upgraded to <br />eliminate the run off towards Mr. Pouliot's area. He stated that Terry <br />Mauer, City Engineer, was going to look at the safety issued one more <br />time and pass his comments on to staff. <br /> <br />Francis Schober of 18216 Albany Street NW, was also concerned with the <br />drainage in the area especially in the event of a rain storm. Mr. <br />Schober asked if there was going to be storm sewer in the area of 183rd <br />Court. <br />
