to the entrance off Stanley Boulevard, so why not let it be off Stanley Boulevard. If the entrance is on Reflections Drive, there will more traffic creating a bigger chance for accidents. She is really concerned about the children's safety. She was offended about how the Planning Commission referred to her community as low-income housing. Dave Buscheck, 87 Shore Drive, said he is employed as a consultant engineer and was amazed that the Planning Commission approved this project. He asked if it were legal to have an entrance to a commercial area through a residential area? He felt this project would create safety hazards. He would like the entrance off of Stanley Boulevard. Mr. Swift said there was no prohibition concerning the entrance to a commercial area through a residential area. Suzanne Hagerty, 3848 Promenade Way, also was offended by the statements made by the Planning Commission. She felt there would not be enough room for the vehicles to turn left. She would like the entrance off Stanley Boulevard. She also asked if the speed limit on Stanley Boulevard from Valley Avenue could be posted 25 miles per hour. Joseph Crisostomo, 3642 Refections Drive, said he was opposed to the entrance off Reflections Drive. He felt his neighborhood was calm enough and there was no need for the calming devices. Sharon Mosher, 3891 Promenade Way, said she was impressed with the way the developer has worked with the community. She would like the entrance off Stanley Boulevard. She asked Council to consider the children's safety. Mr. Davis, in rebuttal, asked Council to make a decision tonight and said he understood the residents concerns. There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Ayala apologized for whatever the Planning Commission might have said. She assured the residents the City was happy to have them in the community. She has rented a storage unit facility for over fifteen years and found the units to be very quiet. It is set forth in the General Plan not to have the entrance off Stanley Boulevard. She visited the site and felt the traffic calming devices would be an attribute. Ms. Dennis explained she had safety concerns about putting an entrance off Stanley Boulevard because the traffic flow was much heavier than on Reflections Drive. If this property were developed as residential, there would be far more traffic than there would be with this project. She felt the intrusion would not be noticeable to the residents.
