<br />3 <br /> <br />MR. DAPPER: That would allow them 73,000 - <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: That would allow - 9 tons is 18,000. <br /> <br />MR. DAPPER: And two sets - tandems. I think I'm against it <br />just for that reason, but I'd like to see them enforce that 9000 <br />pound limit on the road now. <br /> <br />MR. ROBERT JACKSON, 2395 West County Road C-2: I happen to <br />own the vacant lot which you want to put sewer to as part of the <br />project. I'd like to ask a couple of questions. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: I'm not sure I understood. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: The vacant lot is a duck pond adjacent to me <br />where that center star is on the map. First, when was the last <br />traffic count done on that road? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: I think I mis-spoke. Did I say 1300 vehicles? <br />The 1977 count shows 2200 vehicles a day using that roadway. We <br />had another traffic count done in the fall of last year and we <br />got 1535 on that particular day, not adjusting for time of season, <br />but it's in the 1500 to 2000 range. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: Has the engineering department, in planning this <br />project, consulted with the Traffic Safety Committee, or have you <br />done any accident studies on 8 and C-2 (inaudible) up to this point <br />in time, and has that affected the proposal? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: We have met with the state traffic engineers <br />as to the appropriate way to deal with the traffic where it does <br />come out Highway 8. The median alteration that's shown on the <br />left edge of the drawing is a result of the in-put from the state <br />highway traffic department. That design is their recommendation. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: But you haven't looked at the number of accidents <br />and extent of accidents in proposing this larger road. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: There are not a large number of accidents on that <br />road. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: There were three last week, but one was towed <br />away before someone got there. Who petitioned for the up-grading? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: There was no petition. This was a review and <br />overall capital improvement program. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: This plot is a little different than the one <br />you just looked at on Highcrest because this is adjacent and con- <br />tiguous to a whole series of industry - retail businesses, and <br />it sits in the unique position of being a cut-off between two major <br />freeways and I don't think it ought to be really considered in the <br />same light as the Highcrest one. There are other problems with it. <br />This improvement that's proposed - I can't speak for all for I <br />
