With regard to the amount of traffic on Sigarwoods Drive, Graf stated that there will be three houses constructad for the Spring and Fall Previews, which will generate an enormous amount of traffic. Graf stated that there is also a great deal of construction traffic, and that he does quite a bit o^ business entertaining in his home. He said, "My primary concern is that the property juts in and it is difficult for traffic heading west to see anyone coming out of ny driveway. It is especially difficult to see young children, of which I nave two. Tne second curb cut provides better sight distance for my children to see on-coming traffic up the road, and is much easier for motorists to see as well." K^Xley suggested closing off the existing curb cut. Graf replied, "That would leave me with a significant amount of asphalt in my front yard that would serve no purpose." Kelley asked who had put up the "Keep Righc" sign, and for what reason. Mabusth replied, "The City put up the sign because there is not adequate area for traffic to meet in the section ^^of road on the left side of the island (as you are looking west)." Kelley suggested reducing the width of the center island. .Rowlette suggested removing the center island entirely. Mabustn noted that ’No Parking" signs would also be posted to the right < * the center island(Jeanne--is that correct???)•as you are lookin*. . st. Rowlette stated that she had driven in and out of Grafs' driveway and agreed that sightir is a problem. She also said that she has a small car and had little difficulty maneuver into driveway, but that would not be the case for someone with a large vehicle. Rowlette said, "There are two options, in my opinion. Either v/e grant Mr. Graf's request for the loop driveway, or we take out the center island." Cohen agreed that removing the island wou d soxve the problem. Graf agreed also that removing the island would alleviate his problem. He noted, however, that the island was constructed around two large Maple trees and that Mr. Robers has provided additional landscaping. - 11 - tr I Ti 11% ai ■ il, i
