The Vote: Un�nimous A.yes CYPRESS SQUA.RE/VILLA.GE PLAZA. - Left Turn off Cypress at A.the�.is Councilman Fulton said he had requested that this item be put on the agenda again so that �Council could learn of the problems of inerchants in the Cypress Square/Village Plaza Area as a result of the intersection �O� change at Cypress and Athens Avenue . Councilman Fulton believes that '/ the removal of the leEft turn off Cypress onto A.thens A.venue and the open- �°�f�j�' ing of Park Marina Drive as an alternate means of getting into the area � is less than adequate. He spoke of the closing of Park Marina Drive due to flooding which results in potential customers by-passing this shopping area. Dr. Fulton would like to have the left turn reinstated if it is possible . The following persons appeared in favor or reinstating the left turri at Athens and indicated they felt this is vital, even if retaining walls are constructed along Park Marina Drive to prevent flooding: Frank Wilson, Developer, Carl Van Dyke, President of Village Plaza Merchants , Bill Minton, Manager of Wonderworld, and Roger Green, Manager of Grants. 3 In a discussion of this matter it was brought out that if the left turn at A.thens Avenue is reinstated, the City may be required to refund State money in the amount of approximately $72, 000 . , used to construct Park Marina Drive. Councilman Chatfield suggested the possibility of an intermediate left turn permitted when flooding closes Park Marina Drive; however, Councilman A.nderson said he is skeptical of this approach because of the safety factor. Staff was instructed to obtain additional statistical information; deter- mine from the State whether it would be pos sible to reinstate the left turn lane without .monetary penalty, and follow through on the pos sibil- ity of constructing retaining walls on each side of Park Marina Drive. Mayor Moty assured the merchants that Council is aware of the problem and is concerned, and will follow through to try to get the matter re- solved.
