East of Seitz Ronan Road there were 1,350 vehicles counted. West of the airport access road the count was 1200+, and entering the airport there were 88 cars counted. Cal read a letter that will be sent to Mr. Logan thanking him for attending the meeting and giving him the traffic counts on Airport Road. It was also suggested that he write back and advise us of where maintenance on Airport Road stands as of the information we sent to him. Ziggy Ziegler stated that at a recent meeting he attended Airport Road was brought up as a concern and Mr. Logan stated he hadn't gotten to study up on it yet. Billielou Lance reported that River Road was repaired (or re- repaired) soon after Mr. Logan attended our meeting. Annexation Request Cal stated that there is a nasty rumor going around Laurel that the annexation of the land for the water park, will bring in 5 new taverns. He has heard concerns from tavern owners and from the ministerial association. It was stated that the State controls the taverns and bars within the City. Chuck Dickerson stated that Mr. Bernhart has written a letter regarding the ditches in the proposed annexation site. Cal states that Mr. Bernhart's concern will be addressed when the subdivision plat is- prepared. The owners plan to do the subdivision plat and zone change at the same time. Cal stated that the owners are also paying to have a traffic study done on the area to help them determine traffic flow. Airport Runway Proposals John explained the 3 proposals on the table right now concerning where to put the airport runway. They are in the middle of studying how much land is needed to expand the airport while staying within the limits of the required criteria. John also stated that he would like to see the City consider giving the airport water service while they are deciding whether to repair the old reservoir, or get a new one. John stated that the fire inspector stated that they need water at the airport for fire protection, which would only stand to reason. Transients Motion by Chuck Dickerson, to request that the Planning Board write a letter to the Highway Patrol and County Sheriff's office requesting that they do more patrolling along the highway where the transients are hanging around. The area is in the county, not city, limits. No second was made because it was stated that they have already been invited to the meeting on Tuesday, December 13, 1994 at 7:00 p.m., in. the old council chambers, of a steering committee picked to deal with the transient issue. Motion by Don Gudgell, seconded by Chuck Dickerson, to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40. Respectfully submitted, Cheryll Lund, Secretary 3
