Session 1708, Minutes <br />October 13, 1997 <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff added that the house in question is in a different block from Dr. <br />Williams' residence. The setback is measured in each block, on each side of the <br />street. His home is on the side of the street with homes that have smaller front <br />yards than the property he is bringing before Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer wished to recommend the Board of Adjustments as an avenue of <br />appeal for Dr. Williams. Mr. Schoomer moved denial. Mr. Munkel seconded the <br />motion, which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA NO. 4 - ARCADIA STREET CLOSURE: <br /> <br />The Council received a petition from several residents on Arcadia, basically to <br />control all thru traffic on their street. Their favored solution would be to close the <br />street. The Traffic Commission agreed with that request. Mr. Ollendorff suggests <br />that there are other alternatives that would not put all the traffic on adjacent <br />residential streets. Feedback was obtained from the residents on Arcadia <br />concerning the alternatives. The majority of the respondents would like to try a "no <br />thru traffic' sign at Partridge and Pennsylvania as a first step. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe asked for clarification of what exactly "no thru traffic" would entail. <br />Mr. Ollendorff replied that people could not enter Arcadia from either the east at <br />Pennsylvania or from the west at Partridge and drive all the way through. <br />Responding further to Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Ollendorff said that there would be <br />appropriate signage at both ends. The police would monitor. This would cut out <br />people using Arcadia as a short cut. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked how long this experiment would go on. Mr. Ollendorff said as <br />long as Council wished. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe asked if these signs would be temporary. Mr. Ollendorff responded that <br />these signs would be regular street signs, but recognizing that this would be a trial <br />basis, the signs could come down if need be. <br /> <br />Mr. Ware moved to approve the "no thru traffic" signs on Arcadia between <br />Partridge and Pennsylvania on a trial basis, monitored by Police, which will be <br />reviewed by staff and brought to Council again in a few months. Mr. Munkel <br />seconded the motion. Mr. Schoomer moved an amendment to bring the issue back <br />in March 1998. Mr. Sharpe seconded, which carried unanimously. The major <br />motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked Mr. Ollendorff to prepare the necessary legislation. <br /> <br /> <br />
