Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting—August 29,2006 Page 12 Councilman Roecker asked Mr. Spencer if the speed limit was 25 mph and Mr. Spencer replied it was. He said there were apartment units at Devereaux and Eastwood and more were being planned and this caused more traffic problems in the area. Jeff Carmon,714 City Lights— • This was not a retirement community and he asked Council to picture the area at 7:30 in the morning as people tried to go to work. Cars would be lined up at the intersection at Nathan Lane. • Nathan Lane had a steep hill in the middle. • The safety issues were enormous; the traffic issues were enormous and more homes shouldn't be put in. Mayor Simmons asked if there was anyone in the audience who wanted to say something positive about the project. Carl Whitted, 730 John Drive- had a head-on collision several years ago because the roadways were narrow in this area. Cynthia Marroquin,546 Broadview Drive,Quail Hollow Subdivision— • Surprised Mr. Reuillard knew how bad traffic was when he didn't live there yet. • Half-acre to three-quarter acre lots were not dense. • Roads were in poor shape • Tenney's were being punished for being the last to develop. • Their subdivision(Quail Hollow)had no open space. • Would only be an extra 40-50 cars a day. • Project was conducive to the environment; the blind corner had been addressed; had fixed the cul-de-sac. • There would be a little more traffic on City Lights. • Adding a few more lots wouldn't make a big difference. Cynthia Marroquin added she was asked to speak for Randy and Jennifer Nieffenegger, 601 MacDonald Street,who couldn't attend today's meeting and they were in support of this project. John Reynolds,630 David Drive— • Opposed the proposed subdivision. • Penn Avenue and Eastwood Drive were in poor condition. • Supported those who opposed this project. khr
