Cortaro Road Design Concept Report; and Resolution No. 99-52 - Access Management Plan Approval (Dave Atler) Dave Atler, Public Works Director, gave a brief overview of the traffic flow patterns for the two Cortaro Road intersections at 1-10 and Silverbell and the status of this project. A general discussion ensued regarding the different options for these intersections. Mayor Sutton stated the Town of Marana was pro-business and was trying to limit the negative aspects of this project on all businesses in this area. Michael Osborne, owner of McDonald's at Cortaro and 1-10, spoke briefly in support of Option B and his concerns that preference may be given to future developments. Mr. Osborne pointed out that future businesses had the advantage of designing their own ingress/egress and asked for the Council to study this issue very carefully with the existing businesses in mind. Richard Neier, Marana resident and owner of the Burger King at Cortaro and I~10, spoke briefly in support of Option B, dual median openings. Mr. Neier stated that he had been given the present business access legally by A.D.O.T. and challenged the Town of Marana taking this entrance away from his business. He further stated that he would suffer a great loss of business that would also affect his employees who are mostly Marana residents as well. Council Member Blake left the dais at 7:35 p.m. and returned to the dais at 7:38 p.m. Mayor Sutton stated that the Town and the Cortaro Road Design Concept steering committee were seeking an amicable solution for all business owners. He further assured Mr. Neier that directional, visual signage would be in place at the start of the construction. MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN COUNCIL ,I'UNE l, 1999 Michael Racy, Southwest Value Partners (SVP), spoke before the Council and stated that it would be very unlikely that road construction would take place on these two intersections before the planned power center was built but that within the next 18 months road construction activity should begin. Mr. Racy reiterated SVP's pledge to provide Burger King with an ingress/egress to the business during the construction period. Mr. Racy further stated that there was substantial interest in the available property adjacent to Burger King but no definite offers had been made. Ron Asta, consultant for Burger King, spoke briefly in favor of Option B, dual median openings and the traffic accidents and future traffic pattern flow reported for the intersection of Cortaro & 1-10. Mayor Sutton called a short recess to check a procedural ruling. The time was 8:32 p.m. and the meeting was reconvened at 8:42 p.m. Mayor Sutton stated that the Burger King issue would leave Option B open and that trying to educate the public on the traffic flow pattern will alleviate some of the negative impact on the area businesses. Dennis Alvarez, Arizona Department of Transportation (A.D.O.T.) Tucson district engineer, spoke before the Council and stated that traffic accidents were occurring at Cortaro and 1-10. Mr. Alvarez stated that there was a concern for the impact on the businesses if access was limited to their storefronts. He further stated that a formal request had been made three weeks ago by A.D.O.T. for an access to Burger King. A general discussion followed with the Council and Mr. Alvarez regarding the various options open for this intersection and some questions the Council member had regarding the business accesses. Council Member Reuwsaat made a motion, seconded by Council Member Blake, to continue this issue until after the Council received the cost figures of the frontage road access. The motion passed 5/0.
