C. A request from Mr. Richard Poteracki, 1030 Hunt Club
Drive for the installation of Stop Signs at the curve on
Hunt. Club Drive was reviewed. Mr. Poteracki feels Stop
Signs will control speeding. This request was reviewed
in September, 1987. At that time, the Commission
informed Mr. Poteracki, they could not justify the.
installation of Stop Signs at the curve because there are
no intersecting streets or conflicting movements. Since
the last review the circumstances have not changed and
Stop Signs are still not warranted.
Del Ulreich, seconded by Tom Daley moved to
recommend denial of the request for Stop Signs on
Hunt Club Drive at the curve.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY
V ADJOURNMENT
Having no further business the Meeting was adjourned at
8:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
