Chairman Eggert asked if someone would offer a Motion, but Commissioner Scurlock did not feel a proposal has been offered that he can support. Chairman Eggert asked if we could request Mr. Davis to go do that traffic count, determine the benefit, and bring the results back to another public hearing. Commissioner Scurlock stated that he would be happy to make a Motion, if that is the desire of the Commission, that Mr. Davis do a traffic count similar to what he did with the mall. Director Davis felt the proper way to do it would be to inventory the traffic manually on a Saturday or Sunday. Mr. Resop pointed out that the traffic can't be counted now because the road is barricaded. Director Davis asked if the residents wished him to open the barricade and assess the use, and the response was overwhelmingly negative. Commissioner Scurlock believed that you can get a pretty good idea of how many are going into the church and exiting by surveying the U.S.I connection. Director Davis agreed that we can certainly look at the U.S.I. connection and can indicate how many cars are using that connection on Sunday mornings or Saturday evenings and then can use some assumptions to estimate how many people will use 134th Street. It will not be a purely scientific -analysis, however. Commissioner Scurlock felt we should do that and also see if we can come up with any innovative alternatives; we must do something to get a peaceful -co -existence. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) directed that a traffic count be done as discussed and informa- tion regarding the estimated impact on 134th Street, as well as any possible alternatives, be brought back to another public hearing on April 10th, SEB 2'! 1990 3 BOOK "i'� FA ,
