City of Central Point Planning Commission Meeting August 2, 1988 - 7:00 p.m. Page 4 1 Consideration of a resolution amending Planning Commission Resolution No. 95 regarding the Jackson Creek Neighborhood Development Plan Mr. Kugler summarized his staff report dated July 18, 1988 and listed the follow- ing exhibits for the record: Exhibit A - Certificiate of Posting of agenda for the Planning Commission meeting of August 2, 1988; Exhibit B - Existing Jackson Creek Neighborhood Development Plan; Exhibit C - Resolution amending Jackson Creek Neighborhood Development Plan; and Exhibit D - Proposed Jackson Creek Neigh- borhood Development Plan (separate document) . Mr. Kugler presented the new plan for the Commissioners to review. The Commissioners reviewed and discussed the revised plan. Chairman Ellard ex- pressed his concern regarding the creek dividing the area in half. Mr. Kugler explained that Beall Lane is designated as an arterial so there should not be too many access points. Administrator Kucera added that Gary Shaff, Transportation Planner with Rogue Valley Council of Governments, did a study on how many automo- biles would warrant a bridge across the creek. He concluded that the disadvan- tage of now having a bridge to people in area was minor compared to the cost of a bridge. He stated that it would be more feasible if Timothy Street connects with Highway 99 at some point in the future, but that is not likely since there are two industrial properties in the way. Fire Chief/Building Official Servatius stated that he has no concerns with the new plan as to emergency access. Commissioner Gilmour expressed his concern regarding Snowy Butte Lane being a one- lane road on the new plan. Administrator Kucera stated that it is his understand- ing that future deferred improvements agreements in conjunction with preliminary subdivision plats or minor land partitions will provide for the eventual widening of Snow Butte Lane.
