Public Comments on 1687 Westview Street Аϫxêxonde Proposal <br />February 3, 2024, from Linda Menke at 7219 LaValle Drive <br />ͻL ğƒ ǞƩźƷźƓŭ to offer a perspective on the Westview Development project. In general, I am open to <br />development and see this type of project as a plus for our community. <br />That said, I live in Bayview Villas where Main Street is literally in my backyard. Traffic on Main Street has <br />become a ƒğƆƚƩ źƭƭǒĻ ƚǝĻƩ ƷŷĻ Ќ͵Ў ǤĻğƩƭ ƷŷğƷ ǞĻ͸ǝĻ lived there. We deal with nonstop trucks, cars, <br />construction vehicles, police and emergency vehicles day in/day out. Speeding is constant. Amazon and <br />the development on and near 20th Ave has not helped in this regard. <br />L ķƚƓ͸Ʒ ŅğǝƚƩ ƒƚǝźƓŭ ŅƚƩǞğƩķ ǞźƷŷ this project until we see a solution for quieting this traffic issue. You <br />simply must ğķķƩĻƭƭ Ʒŷźƭ źƭƭǒĻ͵ͼ <br />Thank you, <br />Linda Menke <br />7219 LaValle Drive <br />February 6, 2024 Response from Mark Staz <br />ЧxijŏċêϽ϶ <br />Thank you for reaching out with your concerns regarding the proposed development on the LaLonde <br />property at 1687 Westview Street. <br />As you point out, the vast majority of trips on Main Street initiate from outside of CentervilleЪs <br />boarders. Developments in Lino Lakes and Hugo are the primary drivers of increased traic. Even <br />with no further development in Centerville, traic levels on Main Street will continue to climb. This <br />development is expected to produce êŵŗƇŏċ϶Ͳͬͬ϶А϶ͳͬͬ vehicle trips per day. This compares to the <br />current traic levels on Main Street which are in the neighborhood of 11,000 per day. With these <br />trips likely to split in either direction from Centerville Road, that would leave, say, a 350 trip <br />increase or about 3%. By comparison, your development (Bayview Villas) added around 160 trips <br />per day, when it was added. <br />Speed enforcement is always something we can ask our police department to step up. We can also <br />record speed data to gauge how bad the speeding problem is. Once we are out of the possible <br />snow season, I can ask our highway folks at the county to gather that data. <br />We are collecting the comments received on this development and will share them with the <br />Planning Commission, City Council and the general public as part of the public hearing process. <br />Please let me know if you have further questions or wish to speak with me directly about any <br />particular issue. Thanks again. <br /> <br />
