. . October 4,1993 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 Ms. Ratner stated that she preferred the sidewalk on the west because it could be setback further from the road for safety reasons. Ms. Kreishman stated that she prefers the walkway on the east because most of the people who will be walking to the center will be coming from the east and will therefore have to cross the access road at the entrance if the walkway will be on the west side. Mr. Kahn asked Mr. Bunte ifhe had done a count of the cars exiting from the access road. Mr. Bunte stated that approximately 90 cars exit per hour. Mr. Goldman asked what the count of cars exiting the 1-170 off-ramp was during the evening rush hour. Mr. Bunte stated that between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. there was 137 cars; between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. there was 155 cars and between noon and 1 p.m. there was 179 cars. Carol Rossel, 7407 Teasdale, stated that she felt there should be plans for a railing between the roadway and the walkway for pedestrian safety. Mr. Safe stated that the width of the road at 20' was satisfactory. He feels there may be some storm water run-off problems if the vertical curbs are installed the full length of the road. He stated that rumble strips would be a good alternative to speed bumps. He wants the benches to have concrete instead of grass underneath them. He strongly favors the walk on the east side. Mr. Foxworth stated that most of his concerns have been addressed. He feels the 20' width of the road is adequate. Ms. Peniston stated that the 20' width of the road is adequate but she feels the prohibition for left turns out of the access road should remain. Ms. Ratner stated that the 20' width of the road is adequate, #6 should be deleted, the prohibition against left turns should remain and #9 should be changed from posting "No Passing" signs to posting "No Parking" signs. All improvements shall be completed within one year of the issuance of the permit. Mr. Kahn stated that he felt the 20' width of the road is adequate. However, he felt that #7 should be changed to include all trucks not just those owned by Schnucks. Mr. Goldman stated that the condition is aimed at preserving the east curb of the entrance and it is the Schnucks eighteen wheelers that will have the most impact on the curb. Further, Schnucks has control over their own drivers but not the drivers of other companies' trucks. Some delivery trucks will have other stops on their route down Delmar. Ms. Kreishman stated that the pedestrian walk should be on the east side, the road should be widened but vertical curbs are not necessary, the evergreen trees should be removed and replaced at a more appropriate spot, #6 should be deleted, the prohibition against left turns m-10-4.plc
