The Willow Drive project is an integral pan of the reconstruction of the Willow and Highway 12 intersection, which has substantially improved access to the Otten property. Customers coming from the west and south can now conveniently access the property from Willow Drive. Prior to the signalized intersection those people had to take their chances with the almost continuous flow of traffic on Highway 12, in trying to cross two lanes of traffic from the south or make a left turn from the west. 3.Increased traffic drawn to the Willow Drive intersection. The signalized intersection has changed the character of the intersection from one that was avoided to one that now draws traffic. A significant amount of traffic that formerly used the Old Crystal Bay Road or Lake Drive signalized intersections now can use the Willow Drive intersection. The Otten business benefits significantly by increased traffic flow which now is drawn to the intersection where the business is located. .Staff Recommendation cut Although the proposed assessment is a large amount, it is a very small percentage of the total value of the properties to be assessed. The new roadway that has been desij ned to serve the level of traffic and type of vehicles generated by the adjacent properties, the improved access to the site, and the increased traffic being drawn to the intersection all provide significant benefits to the properties It is staffs recommendation that the Council adopt the proposed assessments. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to adopt the attached resolution adopting the assessment roll for the Willow Drive improvement project.
