PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 24, 1983 PAGE 2 <br />drainage plan to be developed, seconded by J. Brown, and <br />unanimously approved. <br />IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: <br />(1) Continued from May 19, 1983 meeting: <br />Country Club Blvd., median strip cut <br />Proposal is to allow an opening to be made in the median <br />strip of Country Club Blvd, west of Great Northern Blvd, <br />to provide access in both directions along Country Club <br />-- Blvd.for ingress and egress to a proposed restaurant to <br />be located at the southwest corner of the intersection <br />of Country Club and Great Northern Blvd. <br />Assistant City Engineer McDermott presented the preliminary <br />plans for a median strip cut on Country Club Blvd. and ex- <br />plained that the subsequent building proposal will be de- <br />pendant upon this approval. No'traffic control light is <br />planned at this time. According to Mr. Vollman of Bob Evans <br />Restaurants, City Engineer R. Zurawski suggested one :iLngress/ <br />egress driveway at the west end of the property, rather than <br />2 separate drives which had been originally considered. Room <br />is provided for stacking 2 cars. This will be located west <br />of the inter-section of Great Northern Blvd and Country Club <br />Blvd. where 1480 exits onto Country Club from Great Northem <br />and is across from Great Northern Mall. Mr. Biskind, of <br />Great Northern Partnership, reviewed the plans. He stated <br />that his firm had closed one exit to the Mall and installed <br />the median strip at the suggestion of the City and over the <br />objections of some of his tennants, to elminate some of the <br />traffic problems in the area. He believes this cut will <br />create much congestion especially in the west bound lane. <br />The Commission.also has many concerns regarding the traffic <br />conditions at that point. It was suggested that Bob Evans <br />could provide a traffic study for the area. Assistant Law <br />Director J. Dubelko stated that he believed that the proposal <br />should be tabled and referred to the Safety Department for <br />study to give the City the opportunity to work with the <br />developer whose proposal is a proper use for the land. T. <br />Morgan moved to table the Country Club Blvd, median strip <br />so that it can be forwarded to the Safety Department for <br />their consideration and review, for any recommendation that <br />they might make for location of that driveway and ask the <br />Engineering Department for any input they might have rela- <br />tive to traffic for this particular proposal, seconded by <br />J. Roberts, and unanimously approved. <br />V. COMMUNIGATIONS: <br />No Items.
