Any development of this area will <br />require the removal of the residences and the relocation of the people living in <br />them. Depending on the amount of property needed, anywhere from five to ten <br />residences will have to be removed. <br /> <br />Because of the problem with access, property acquisition and the amount of <br />property needed, the possible configurations were narrowed down to two <br />different options. <br /> <br />Option I (Exhibit B) <br /> <br />This option would involve four lots fronting on Sixth Street between Quinn Ave. <br />and Proctor Ave. and one lot on Proctor. Five properties would have to be <br />acquired for a total of about 1.5 acres. The assessed value of these properties is <br />$345,700. It would also require the removal of five residences. <br /> <br />Access could be provided from Proctor and a second access could be provided <br />from Quinn. To reduce conflicting turning movements, the access on Proctor <br />should be aligned with the existing access to the Texaco station; however, this <br />would only allow stacking room for about six or seven cars on Proctor before the <br />access to the site would be blocked. This would not be an infrequent situation <br />given the fact that Proctor Avenue is a minor arterial road and a main access <br />point to Highway 10. A second access could be provided from Quinn Avenue. <br />Vehicles using this access would have to come from Sixth Street, gaining access <br />to Sixth Street near the existing entrance to Cretex. <br /> <br />Since there will be no residences fronting on Sixth Street, in order to keep from <br />increasing the traffic problems at the intersection of Highway 10 and Proctor, <br />Sixth Street should be blocked off from Quinn to Proctor. The old ROW could <br />then be incorporated as part of the developed parcel. <br /> <br />Option 2 (Exhibit C) <br /> <br />This option would involve three properties fronting on Proctor Avenue and two <br />properties on Sixth Street. Like option 1, the area under consideration comes to <br />about 1.5 acres with an assessed value of $338,000. It would require the <br />removal of five residences. <br /> <br />With this option two driveways would be provided from Proctor. As in option 1, <br />in order to limit the number of conflicting turning movements, one access would <br />line up with the existing access to the Texaco station There would also be the <br />same problem with cars stacking up on Proctor and blocking the entrance. A <br />second access could be provided further north on Proctor that would not be <br /> <br />s:XplanningXscott\liquor.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
