Mr. John Magill (Commercial Properties) Impact of Proposed CSAH 14/Main <br />Street Widening <br /> <br />Mr. Magill addressed Council on behalf of several local businesses and outlined their <br />concerns with the County's plan for access onto 20th Avenue. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she had attended the meeting concerning <br />this matter and then outlined for those in attendance the various options for access at that <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Mr. Magill indicated that the success of the existing businesses and the development of <br />the remaining property at the comer is dependent upon access at 20th Avenue and asked <br />the City to work with them to convince the County to amend the plan. <br /> <br />The Council discussed various scenarios and then asked that the business owners provide <br />the City with a list of options in priority order for consideration. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra expressed concern about big trucks accessing this site and at <br />Northern Forest Products. She then said that she would like to see a representative of the <br />group be invited to attend meetings with the engineer and public works to work on this. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated that the transportation department at his office has looked at this <br />and there is just too much of a safety hazard to put an opening that close to an <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Mr. Magill indicated that they do not care what it looks like but they would like a 20th <br />Avenue access. <br /> <br />Mr. Vanderbeek commented that accommodations were made for the businesses in <br />Blaine and he would like the same done for the businesses in Centerville. <br /> <br />Council discussed the possibility of relocating the 21 5t Avenue intersection to the west <br />and requesting a stoplight. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney suggested that the business owners get Lino Lakes involved as this <br />affects property in that City as well. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested that the business owners remain positive <br />and provide suggestions as to how to solve the issue as best as possible rather than <br />threatening lawsuits. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that she has asked the engineers to provide information <br />on future development needs for Centerville as far as what streets will go all the way <br />through and what can be done to the north. <br /> <br />Page3 of 10 <br />
