Commissioner Wheeler commented that he actually never men- <br />tioned level of service in the Motion. He simply said he would <br />make the Motion and vote for it based on the stipulation that the <br />light and turning lanes were in place. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed there was a recommendation from <br />our Traffic Engineer not to put a 4 -way stop there. <br />Mr. Luethje agreed that Traffic Engineer. Orr did make that <br />statement. He advised the Board that, along with Mr, Mills, <br />Carter and Associates retained a traffic engineer from Kimley- <br />Horn, who made a study and went in front of the Transportation <br />Planning Committee and showed them on a technical basis that it <br />would be an acceptable interim measure to put the 4 -way stop sign <br />there. Mr. Luethje felt it is to the County's benefit to do that <br />at this particular time from a liability standpoint irregardless <br />of what happens to the child care.center. He admitted that he <br />did not go back to the Minutes and check them; he had just <br />thought if the requirements of the ordinance for a Level of <br />Service "C" were met, it would be acceptable. <br />Commissioner Wheeler noted that when the Commission approves <br />a Special Exception, we can put in specific conditions, and he <br />put those two conditions in the Motion. <br />Commissioner Eggert believed there was a very strong feeling <br />about having a 4 -way stop sign there. She personally felt <br />strongly about 4 -way stops, and as someone who drives in that <br />area frequently, she did not feel that is a good place to have <br />one. She noted that the weeds need to be cut down on that <br />corner, especially to the west. <br />Discussion ensued as to how far we are from having a traffic <br />light at that intersection, and Public Works Director Davis <br />believed the final engineering plans are being put together this <br />week, but it is hard to tell how long it will take us to acquire <br />the R/W and accomplish the utilities relocation. He hoped to be <br />under contract by the first of the year, and then the actual <br />improvements will take 60-90 days. <br />SEP 20 1988 16 Boa 74 raO�F 3100 <br />
