Placement of Liquor Store Page 3 January 30, 1996 blocked by cars stopping at the Highway 10 traffic light. However, it would introduce another set of turning movements that could conflict with the access to the approved commercial project north of the Texaco station. Because the access to the approved project on the east side of Proctor is to far north, it would not be possible to align a second access with the one approved across the street. Introducing a third non-aligned access on this arterial road would create additional congestion. In order to reduce the congestion at the intersection of Highway 10 and Proctor, Sixth Street should be blocked off from Proctor west about 180 feet. This would allow the remaining two residences on Sixth Street to access their properties and would enable a portion of the old ROW to be incorporated into the project site. Summa~ Incremental commercial development of the area between Proctor Avenue and Quinn Avenue faces major problems no matter how it is done. Because of the current street layout, the problem of providing safe and efficient access will be difficult to address with incremental development. There is also the issue of the remaining residences. Any partial development of the area will adversely impact those residences that were not removed. Because of the concerns regarding access and the impact on residences, it appears that the best way to redevelop this area as commercial would be to do it with an overall plan for the entire approximately six acres which includes the properties between Proctor and Quinn, north of Sixth Street and south of the railroad tracks. This area has an assessed value of $1,216,100. If the existing three industrial uses, adjacent to the railroad tracks, are excluded from the redevelopment plans, the total area involved is about five acres with an assessed value of $835,600. s:\planningXscottXliquor.doc
