#585 Schlee Builders Page 2 Street Design Options The Lyric Avenue extension idea has merit and should be reviewed thf time. Extending Lyric reviewed during w ” design traffic analysis. It was not recommended then because of several adverse factors involving existing Lyric Avenue. The overwhelming reason was that the internal 48-unit design would have tended to funnel a large portion of the new traffic toward Lyric, which is not as good a route as ® multiple plat access was already provided to Northern Avenue. j t' ^ With the existing 24-unit design, there is no immedi.ate connection to Northern Avenue, thus extended Livingston is the only plat access. By also extending Lyric, an alternative access would be provided thereby increasing public safety and dispersing traffic better. The second plat access is not really "needed" because of traffic volume. There are only 20 units internal, or 160 trips per day. But it does provide a viable alternative. The extra street does not adversely affect plat layout or building location. It may improve access to the City water plant and Kullberg/Harding commercial property. It would apparently allay the traffic fears of the existing neighborhood. On balance, staff feels that extending Lyric Avenue as well as Livingston is a good idea and one that should be approved by the Council in their preliminary plat review.
