Was advised by Mr. Wilamosky that as per the Council <br />Minutes of May 1, 1984, Captain Brow's report indicated there would be no <br />addition to the existing traffic congestion.wth the addition of another restaur- <br />ant. Mr. Fairfield also asked why this zoning needed to be changed to accommo- <br />date a Bob Evans Restaurant when there was properly zoned property already <br />available. Mr. Ed Biskind responded that one thing had nothing to do with the <br />other. <br />Mr. Art Sexton, West Ranchview, commented on his concern with respect to traffic <br />congestion. Traffic exiting from Ranchview, heading east, is very dangerous and <br />there has already been one fatality. A traffic light is needed very badly. <br />Mr. Jack Cooney, Ranchview, asked if the zoning was changed, how does the City <br />go about getting signalization. <br />A4r. Gil Richland, .Great Northern Shopping Center, stated that an office building <br />would draw more people into the area than a restaurant; an office building has two <br />peak periods of traffic, morning and evening rush hours, the worst time to increase <br />traffic. <br />Mr. Nick Vollman, Bob Evans representative, stated the majority of their business is <br />on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, between 6 and 10 A.M., since they are <br />principally known as a breakfast stop. <br />There being no further business, President Boehmer closed the Public Hearing at <br />8:35 P.M. <br />
