C;uncilmember Neils stated the Pflawnwell development must
provide access to old County Road 9 properly spaced between
Vicksburg and new County Road 9. Since there wi l l be only
ore access to the property to the south (the undeveloped land
between Plytros;th Hills plat to the west and the existing
development to the east accessing off Fcrnbrook) it 1s important
that the east access of this development be located at a place
that wlli provi a for a cross intersection for access to the
propert_• to the south.
Consulting Engineer Olson stated the 49th Avenue interchange will
influence the design of the external street patterns. W felt there
should be separate studies of external and internal street patterns.
The major arteries are fixed in their alignment, ana although 49th
Avenue is not fixed, there is space through which this corridor
could go once given the technical data.

two or three developments being fed through their development as
Juneau Lane connects with County Road 9 through their land and
also objected to it being a feeder to all the developments to the north.

Lane before new County Road 9 is built. Manager Willis stated if
the Council proceeds with the traffic study, staff coup! use Lundgren
Bros.' input to work out the potential aligmrent of Juneau Lane so
that they can make a decision on whether or not to proceed with the
preliminary plat for Zhe property.
