Moved by Ald. Radecki, second by Ald. Marks

Several residents from the Fisher Farms subdivision voiced their concern about the potential for increased traffic along Bricher and Fisher Drive once the Prairie Winds apartments are built. Amy Ahern of Shepherd Lane, Mary Petranic of Fieldstone Drive, and Kelly Husky of Shepherd Lane asked the City to work with St. Charles to provide additional exits and entrances to the complex other than Bricher Road. Mayor Burns, and several aldermen, stated that while the project is under St. Charles jurisdiction, the City was able to provide recommendations regarding the traffic study and stormwater issues. Burns stated that the City would monitor the traffic in the coming years to determine if any action would be warranted but the current item for discussion would not affect the outcome either way. Additional discussion on the parameters of a traffic study was heard, with Dir. Babica providing information on what type of data is collected for a traffic study. Ald. Cummings expressed interest in delaying the approval for the grant of property until more facts could be gathered on the potential traffic impacts.
