Councilmembers expressed concern relating to Corridor B as to the grade approach from Eastmont, how traffic would be controlled such as stop lights, the timeframe of the plan in relation to the school being built on Eighth, other streets connecting to the corridor and accessibility of current property owners. Mayor Collings said Council's decision would show the intent of choice of one of the corridors for future development. Mayor Collings opened the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. Several residents spoke against Corridor A, not totally in favor of Corridor B. Several of them added the following concerns: at the time of purchase of their property they were told the area would remain residential; they did not want any more commercial zoning in the area; and they recognized the traffic was a growing problem in relation to pedestrian traffic and accidents in the area. The following residents spoke against Corridor A: Bruce Nash, 909 North Gale, East Wenatchee, Denise Herz, 600 Cindy Court, East Wenatchee, Dave Bernstein, 612 Cindy Court, East Wenatchee, ' Don Skinner, 604 Cindy Court, East Wenatchee, Doug Morgan, 608 Marcie Court, East Wenatchee, Joyce Morgan, 608 Marcie Court, East Wenatchee. Jack Hale, resident from Tenth Street NE and a developer, said he was concerned that Corridor A would take most of the prime orchard property owned by Mr. Loepp. Mr. Hale said he had an option on the property and was hoping to develop it, however, if Corridor A was chosen, it would possibly have to be a planned unit development instead of residential. He expressed concern regarding the price that would be paid for the property, based on the market value of property at the present time. Council discussed several issues such as purchase of the water district, fair market value of property, maintenance of Eastmont, concern with traffic and other possible options. Superintendent Goodman, in answer to some of the questions, said the plan intended to end Seventh Street and raise it for a flat intersection; if B was chosen gabian walls could be constructed instead of retaining walls to avoid additional cost; and there would be no additional cost to the community. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Nash, second ' by Councilmember Mikow to select Corridor B for future traffic revision and connection to the Eighth Street corridor. The motion carried, 5-0. - 4 - =-= ' jainseaal/Nialo AgTJ goTaigsap •3 e�%`cb3TA w•d SV:q - SNSHNUnOfaV paiaoveo - NOISSSS 3AIMID US •agoA you pTp 'quawquTodde aqq oq anp 'sxoijpuaH jagwamTTounop 0-p pallavo uoTgow agy •Z66T .To; way o.Td ioAe}y se sKoTipueH iagwawlTounop quiodde oq doe7 sagwawlTounop Aq puooas 'jngq.zyoH zagwawTTounOD Iq appw seM aoTgow y :uoTgoy ITounop way oad soAPH e ;o uoTgoaias p jo; ITounoo paKse sbuTTTOD soleH •algTssod se woos se saggalsMau aqq aOl aloTq.ze up gTwgns oq ITounop papuTwai sbuTjZop JOAVH •zabuoi gonw oog a3o;aq aoeid uT abpubTs sadoid aAeq og padoq aqs pTes sbuTTTop JOAPH •quTodMaTA peog quesp agg qp subTs io; abTsap e paggTwqns peg MespoH p.TegoTg pTes sbuTiloJ JOAPIJ ' IHOdaH S,HOAVH abpTH uoTssTH wo.z; pagounei svooiipq jTe qog apnlouT pinoM goTgM Aj pnjga3 uT gsad uns aaguTM aqq aq oq bvTob seM svoTgoun; aqq ;o auo pTes iaXJ?2 •sH sweaboad pup sueid s,npaing aqq uo agepdn up aneb 'neaing uoTquanuoJ pue sogTsTA '.zax.zeg upsnS SIN3HHOp NazISIp •SIVM uT MoxTH jagwawlTounop pup guawabeueH ggMOJD ❑T pagsaoaguT aae ADPq pue MONTH saagwawUounop •awTq quasaid aqq qe pieog AaaToos aupwnH A9TTV A aagogeueM aqq uo sT aqs XNI'I UT gsasaquT passajdxa inggiyoH-TagwawlTaunOD •(SIVM) paeog uoTgegzodsuejL agq uT pagsa.zaquT seM pup p-Teoq XNI'I aqq uo aq pinoo aq pTes sxoTapuaH-TagwawlTounop •p.zeog hzosTApy agseM pTTOS aqq pup npazng ❑oTquanuop Pule sogTsTA aqq -io; pasaagunTOA gseN TagwawlTounop gaaw saaggTwwoo qua.ia;;Tp aqq uagM gno puT3 TTTM aqs pTes sbuTTTOD ioheH •saaggTwwoo IgTunwwoa oq squawquTodde buTgdaooe passnosTp ssagwawlTounoo SZN3HSxI0dav 3911IHHOD •snsuasuoo dq paa.xbe ITaunop •buTgaaw ITounop Z66I 'E Azpnzga3 aqq ITgun pauodgsod ' aq buTzeag agq pagsanbei peg queoTTdde aqq pTes goTa.zgsap xiaTO asuaaTT s,JeAT.Ip gpoTxeg e ;o IeTuap aqg buTp3e59s buTieaq Ieadde uy ZO-TO-Z6 JNIHVSH 'Ivadav 861
