In past discussions with Mr. Erickson, the City has indicated that because there are a number of properties with existing full turning movement accesses to Highway 12 west of his property, the best way to provide him with access is to connect his property to an existing access with a frontage road or to consolidate his access and an existing access at a new location. This will require working with the properties that would be affected by both the access and the frontage road. At this stage, Mr. Erickson is requesting the City ’s support for the general concept of providing a full turning movement access west of Willow Drive that would serve his property. Mr. Erickson ha5 concerns regarding the impact on his commercial property of moving a substantial amount of traffic from current Highway 12 to new Highway 12. His attempts to address these concerns have the potential to delay the Highway 12 upgrade project. The City ’s support for a full turning movement access for his property would alleviate these concerns and remove this obstacle from the Highway 12 upgrade project. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to direct staff to prepare a resolution indicating the City ’s .:.f port for the concept of vri>v*. ling a full turning movement access on Highway 12 west of Willow Drive that would serve Mj’. L.rickson’s property. 4 tfiimiilliliiinfli
