Regular Council Meeting <br />11-17-97 <br />Page 12 <br />ANY OTHER MATTER THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL <br />There were no additional matters before Council_ <br />CLOSING COMIVIENTS <br />Mr. Busa questioned why Frogressive would bypass a P&Z workshop which he read in the last <br />minutes. <br />Mr. Saxnac said they bypassed the workshop for the storage of the soil. <br />Mr. Samac said he believes everyone received a copy of a traffic improvement study for the <br />Progressive property. There should be virtua.lly no impact (for the additional parking.) He asked <br />if anyone had questions. <br />Dr. Parker asked how it will impact the traffic at #hat intersection. <br />Mr. Buckholtz said he read the traffic study. It mentions that N.O.A.C.A. wiil be doing their own <br />study on I-271. He asked if they will see the Parsons study. <br />Mr. Hovancsek said he gave N.O.A.C.A a copy of the study. Their study will be done in 60 days. <br />Their study must be done by them in order to get the Federal funding to do the ramp interchange. <br />Mr. Buckholtz said when N.O.A.C.A did the big study it was based on 2,300 cars and we are <br />over 3,000. He wandered if N.O.A.C.A realized that and if tha# will be included in -the new study. <br />For the record, a Iot ofemphasis here is tlus wonderful development that we are ali working on so <br />diligently in the northwest quadrant and we are trying not to duplicate mistakes or aversights that <br />happened in Worton Park with the Progressive World Headquarters. He believes it was <br />mentioned by Mayor Rinker looking to Ordinance Review about the number of parking spaces <br />per , and occupancy per land use, these kinds of tliings. <br />Mr. Hovancsek agrees somewhat that the traffic problem is significant; however, the impact study <br />and when the ramp work gets done and when they add the third lane on each side it will <br />significantly help that azea. Higtiland Heights is planning on vrridening a good portion of Alpha <br />Drive to 3lanes. At the intersection of Alpha and Highland, there will be left-turn lanes added <br />both eastbound and westbound gaiaig into and out of Alpha Drive. T'hat should malce that more <br />desirable for people to use. That means there will be more traffic on HighIand Road which will <br />relieve some of the pressure on Wilson 1Vlills-and Alpha. As the Engineers in Highla.nd Heights, <br />they prepared that plan and have it ready now. There is sorne additional funding being sought. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Dr. Parker, seconded by Mr. Marquardt, made a motion to adjourn.
