CityCouncil | 2007-08-07 | 9 | Councilmember deHaan inquired whether one of the mitigating factors was to signal the intersection. The Supervising Planner responded in the affirmative; stated a traffic signal would be installed at the Trader Joe's driveway into the shopping center; the exit would be right turn only from the gas station onto Otis Drive; a mitigation measure requires monitoring of traffic flow for three to five years; the Applicant would need to turn traffic into a one-way flow through the gas station from the shopping center and back out to Otis Drive if there is a problem with cars backing out into Otis Drive and interfering with traffic; Omni Means felt that the driveway would flow fine without vehicles cueing out into Otis Drive. Councilmember deHaan inquired what would be the cost for a signal at the intersection, to which the Supervising Planner responded approximately $300,000 to $350,000. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Safeway would be contributing to the funding. The Supervising Planner responded Safeway's contribution would be based on the pro-rated share of traffic going through the intersection; stated the amount would depend on build out. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether said contribution is in the agreement. The Supervising Planner responded in the affirmative; stated the pro rated contribution is approximately 10% of the total trips at the intersection. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the rest [of the funding] would be contributed by the shopping center. The Supervising Planner responded the shopping center is not required to contribute anything at this point; stated Safeway would contribute to the traffic signal cost if expansion is approved. *** Vice Mayor Tam left the dais at 9:02 p.m. and returned at 9:04 p. m.
