Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13, 2012 Page 12 Debbie Holmgren, 1152 County Road C-2 Ms. Holmgren, as the property owner of the mailbox structure previously ad- dressed, advised that she and her husband were willing to continue working with staff to resolve the issues. Allen Carrier, 1040 County Road C-2 Mr. Carrier referenced a previous e-mail to all Councilmembers and responses he'd received from two (2) Councilmembers regarding westbound traffic on County Road C-2 at Lexington Avenue and the need for striping a right-turn lane at that intersection to avoid visibility issues as well as traffic staffing. Mr. Carrier suggested that a minimal re-adjustment of the middle line and striping a right-turn lane would suffice, as well as moving the north side curbing to allow the right turn, opining that there should be sufficient room. Mr. Carrier asked that staff in- corporate this into their construction plans. On another note, Mr. Carrier, as a resident at that address since 1973, noted ever- increasing speed on County Road C-2; and asked that staff consider additional stop signs as well as a walking lane to access the overlook or down the trail. Mr. Carrier emphasized the need to address and reduce speeds on County Road C-2. Bill Samayou,2870 Fernwood Mr. Samayou expressed concerns that Fernwood roadway would be elevated from the current street level, and if so, how much. Mr. Samayou noted that the ra- tionale to lower the street level had been based on reducing water problems, which it had effectively done; however, if it was now raised, he questioned how it would that impact he Pulte Homes development property owners as well as other properties draining in that area. Mr. Samayou noted new rock drainage between the properties at 1144 and 1136 County Road C-2, closer to Lexington Avenue, to address major drainage issues, and questioned if that drainage would still be ade- quate or if additional drainage solutions would need to be addressed further up for the cul-de-sac. Mr. Samayou also questioned if it was necessary to add a more commercial type of double striped line, or whether a single stripe would suffice. Mr. Samayou also noted a neighbor next to Cottontail Park who operated a home- based clock business (Mr. Blockman? at 1261) and intermittent parking for his business, and whether by installing parking bays it would interrupt his business. Suzanne Suncileo, 1221 West County Road C-2 While not wanting to defer this work and face the possibility of future special property assessments to accomplish it, Ms. Suncileo noted that this neighborhood had repeatedly been told by City staff that the work component proposed for Sce- nario 2 (modify profile between Merrill Sand Griggs Streets) would not be neces- sary as the recently-installed stop sign at Merrill and County Road C-w would
