Member Davidson asked if there will be a turn lane off of Harmony Road between Lots 2 and 3. Mr. Shepard replied that the auxiliary lanes on a state highway acceleration deceleration lane will be done according to the State Highway Access Code and reviewed by the Engineering Department for the amount of paper, width and length as per the design speed for the highway. Member Davidson asked if the left in only is a reality. Mr. Shepard replied that the left in only at the curb cut is approved by the Harmony Corridor Access Control Plan. There is sufficient stacking for the left turn and sufficient gaps to make a left turn and a signalized intersection at County Road 9 which will create some gaps. Member Davidson asked if there will be a possibility of a change in the parking for the eastward entrance to the shopping center for truckers to enter. Mr. Shepard replied that they want the projects to connect and the people in the mobile home park to move into the shopping center without accessing Harmony Road. They have discussed this with the residents of the mobile home park to resolve this issue. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, had no presentation at this time.

Member Colton asked for feedback on how the -developer felt about the Harmony Corridor guidelines and what the results were to the community. Mr. Ward replied that there are a couple of sites that are getting into dealing with the revised Harmony Corridor Plan. He stated that there is getting to be a great deal of interest in this site from a number of users and some shopping center developers. What the property owner was finding was that developers would come in and ask if they could use the industry standard which is not what the guidelines foster. What the applicant is doing is trying to get the real needs and goals of the variety of users and see how they match up with the guidelines and the big box guidelines. On this particular site, they seem to work fairly well. There -may be some issues between preliminary and final but it has not been difficult on this site to find that marriage of what the commercial users need with the specifics in the big box guidelines. He stated that It worked better than he thought it would. The motion carried 7-0. The meeting adjourned at 11:17 p.m. until January 8, 1996.
