Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13, 2012 Page 14 In addressing drainage at Fernwood, Ms. Bloom advised that the new plan design did not raise grades of Fernwood, and assured residents that staff was very aware of the overland drainage provisions, as well as other drainage issues in the neigh- borhood. Ms. Bloom advised that staff was continuing to work with property owners, specifically at 1144 that included a curb opening even before the County Road C-2 connection was proposed; as well as installing rain gardens in the area, connecting drain tiles, and addressing back yards and other drainage issues in the area. Regarding the clock business, Ms. Bloom advised that there would be no restrict- ed parking at that location, but she offered to work with the property owner to en- sure that his clock business was not negatively impacted. To her recollection, Ms. Bloom thought that this property owner had attended the January open house, but advised that she would be in additional contact with him. Regarding the request to install additional stop signs, Ms. Bloom reviewed the process to initiate that, via e-mail or written request for a traffic study and warrant analysis. Ms. Bloom noted that, if the request didn't meet warrants, if often be- came more of a hazard than a benefit. Regarding the request for the right-turn lane, Ms. Bloom advised that she would need to research turning counts, and analyze the best approach to resolve that sit- uation; however, she noted that this would be a simple restriping, and could be done in-house outside this plan approval, since this project would be contractor work, not in-house. Willmus moved, Pust seconded, approval of construction plans for County Road C-2 as presented and detailed in the RCA dated February 13, 2012; restriping on County Road C-2 and other considerations as noted by staff in the RCA. At the request of Councilmember McGehee for additional clarification, Ms. Bloom advised that staff had indicated to the property owner with the mailbox structure that the existing mailbox would be demolished, and that staff continued to negotiate a cost-share resolution with the property owner on installing another mailbox. Ms. Bloom advised that, since the existing fence as addressed in the RCA had not been installed in accordance with City Code, staff was recommend- ing that the City would not participate in cost-sharing relocation of the fence. As a friendly amendment, McGehee moved that, if a charge was made for either, that money would be put into streetscaping amenities. With Councilmember Willmus, as maker of the motion, not supporting the friend- ly amendment, and no second to the motion, Mayor Roe declared the motion failed for lack of a second.
