Al Sands, a resident in the James Addition, presented his own options for <br />access. Mr. Sands asked the Commission to come up with one or two <br />options for Fairview Avenue access. He said the County Road C option is <br />a viable option. <br /> <br /> Chair Wilke said there doesn’t seem to be unity in the neighborhood for <br />any solution. Mr. Sands said there were too many choices, that there <br />needed to be just a couple options presented to the residents. Chair Wilke <br />said the Herschel option only displaces one home so that seems to be the <br />best option. Mr. Sands said he agreed but also wants something done on <br />Fairview. Chair Wilke said he didn’t see anything happening on Fairview <br />in the immediate future by the County. <br /> <br /> Schwartz said resources are definitely an issue and that neighborhood <br />consensus is an issue. He said anything being done to Fairview Avenue <br />would require further traffic studies because effects could be felt all the <br />way down to County Road B2. Schwartz suggested staff do further study, <br />come back and have more discussions with the Commission, and then <br />invite the neighborhood to the October commission meeting and get their <br />input. Mr. Sands said he thought that would work. <br /> <br /> Member Neprash asked for the traffic projections from the Twin Lakes <br />Study because that affects Fairview. He said in looking at the Fairview <br />options, some of the driveways end up right at the intersections, which he <br />didn’t think was a great idea. <br /> <br /> Member DeBenedet asked about the costs listed for the options and that <br />there was no recovery cost listed. Bloom said they were just rough <br />estimates. <br /> <br /> <br />7.Pesticide Discussion <br /> <br /> Duane Schwartz presented the answer from the City Attorney to questions <br />posed by the Commission at a previous meeting. Member Neprash said he <br />didn’t think all their questions had been answered by the City Attorney. <br />Member Neprash pointed out the language problem in the state statute <br />regarding signage after pesticide use. He thinks more specific guidelines <br />need to be established by the city. Chair Wilke suggested it would be <br />better regulated on a state level. Member Neprash agreed but said the <br />state specifically left the prerogative open to cities to establish their own <br />regulations. <br /> <br /> Schwartz said that staff’s concern with new regulations is how difficult it <br />will be to enforce and what the cost would be. Member Neprash said <br />there are other cities in the area that have adopted such language, and it <br />would be easy to check with them on cost and difficulty. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
