Minutes Planning Commission May 13, 1987 Mr. Brabec felt it would be prudent to put the decision on this application in abeyance until a decision has been reached for the entire area, i.e., Martin Avenue, the middle school, etc. Chairman Lindsey asked what effect the middle school would have in the traffic of the entire area. Mr. Swift reviewed the possible scenarios. Commissioner Michelotti stated that it is not known at this time whether or not Martin Avenue will be extended. It is not supposed to be a thoroughfare to Stoneridge Drive. Commissioner Michelotti urged interested persons to contact Chandler Lee about the specific plan proposed for the area. Mr. Swift stated that it is a function of use as to whether or not to close the street. The Selways want to close the street so that it can't be opened in the future. The developer of bas Homes agrees to furnish public street improvements. If the decision is to close Cameron, the PUD would have to be modified to accommodate this change. Staff would recommend the street be constructed as currently proposed and be fenced off so it can be opened in the future. The City has done this in instances in the past, i.e., Secretariat, was closed to Northwood Drive. Chairman Lindsey stated that it was never his intention when making the motion for this application to have Cameron Drive closed off by putting a house at the end of it. If the street is to be closed, he would support staff's recommendation, that it be completed and to gate it off. Commissioner Michelotti asked if bas Homes would complete the street. Mr. Swift stated that bas Homes would complete the street to Shea Homes' boundary and Shea Homes would finish it when they complete their development. Commissioner Tarver recommended completing Cameron Avenue, gating it off, and subjecting removal of the gates to public review. Mr. Brabec again asked the staff to put this issue in abeyance. George Szeman, 3617 Kamp Drive, felt Cameron Avenue should be blocked off. Chairman Lindsey asked Mr. Szeman if he would agree with blocking off Cameron today with the idea that the entire area will be reviewed from a traffic standpoint. Mr. Szeman said he could agree with that. Mr. Szeman asked for all persons in the audience from Mohr Park to raise their hands. Many persons in the audience raised their hands. Mr. Szeman stated that the map on the wall doesn't include all of the developments of the area and is misleading. There are still 43 homes along Kamp Drive which are still unoccupied, therefore, the development is not fully represented at this meeting. Mr. Szeman stated he is confused with the staff report page 3, top paragraph, closure of Martin, Mohr House, land use of the Chu property, and emergency access.
