<br />i <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: We have made a traffic study of the, <br />area and obviously all of the traffic that is leaving at this <br />area would be projected to leave (inaudible). I can't tell <br />you the exact numbers right off the top of my head - I would <br />have to look at the report - but I believe it was something <br />like 200 cars difference. Maybe it was 400, I don't recall, <br />but it would cut the traffic - by projecting it through here, <br />it was projected that the traffic flow from here would be cut, <br />but it would obviously be added here. As far as access to the <br />site, starting right at this particular point - this is a long <br />cul-de-sac street. This street connects to Snelling and <br />Snelling goes out to 96. So we start at this point - consider <br />that a cul-de-sac street, from here down - it's intensified by <br />these two cul-de-sacs. If you could just take these two off <br />and add them down here, it would end up being this long, <br />theoretically, because you would have that many more houses. <br />along the cul-de-sac street, with a lot of traffic moving in <br />that direction. Also, there is a long dead-end street here. <br />It's intensified by the fact that there are cul-de-sacs off <br />of that without a loop. That's one of the reasons why the <br />Council is considering the loop through the park. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: All these questions related to safety, <br />and snow plows and clearing, I don't know if you want to com- <br />ment on them. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: Say we had some kind of blockage - <br />a watermain break or something that would put a restriction <br />on the street today, with the snow on the side - it would be <br />extremely difficult to get down from one direction. That <br />could occur. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. GERALD DREYLING, l377 Eide Circle: I think what we <br />should have everybody looking at now is the traffic flow. <br />There are probably going to be about l50 houses eventually in <br />Briarknoll and there are l7 houses in the new division. <br />Briarknoll basically has three exits planned - one through <br />McClung, one next to McClung, and then Colleen Drive. In- <br />dian Oaks I don't think you would consider a Briarknoll exit. <br />. If you were to take and not consider a road through Floral <br />Park, you will have 17 new units or houses added to the <br />development's exits. About a lO% increase. If the people on <br />Floral Drive, who now have a bad traffic situation - in fact, <br />it's much worse than Colleen Drive - were to have that open - <br />they have l7 houses, plus their 35, plus probably another 20 <br />or so units because it's closer to go out Floral Drive <br />(inaudible) which will probably double, possibly triple the <br />traffic. The people on Colleen Drive will probably have an <br />increase of ten or fifteen percent with this development. <br />Granted, that is an increase, but it's only lO% or 15%. I <br />assume the development design is planned so that they would <br />have good access and exits from what they have now, dis- <br />regarding the new development of Royal Hills. If you take <br />and consider a double or triple flow on Floral Drive, it's <br />kind of ludicrous to say that Colleen Drive should have a <br />problem compared to Floral Drive. I consider that a strong <br /> <br />9 <br />
