Members absent on this date: Commissioners Walter, Brackman and Lombardi. Liaisons: Sergeant Davison(present) Trustee Romano (present) Convene Meeting: Meeting called to order by Chairman Blank at 08:00 PM. Approval of Minutes: Motion made to accept the minutes of the 06/01/09 Traffic Commission meeting as is by Commissioner Heiser, seconded by Commissioner Appelbaum. All are in favor. Report to Commission: No reports made to the Traffic Commission. Old Business: 1- A request was made by members of the Traffic Commission that further observation of Knollwood Ave be conducted to determine if vehicles parked on both sides of the street constitutes a possible dangerous condition for motorists and emergency vehicles. New Business: 1- The Traffic Commission discussed the request for the posting of a stop sign on Pine Ridge Rd westbound at the intersection of Mark Dr. The Commission does not believe that a stop sign at this location is required at this time. It has been brought to the commission's attention that a yield sign should have already been posted at this location as per the village code (240-11). The commission requests that the yield sign that has been approved for this location be posted and that the intersection be observed to see if the newly posted yield sign has the desired affect at this intersection. Furthermore the commission requests that the overgrown trees and foliage at the intersection of Pine Ridge Rd and Mark Dr be cut back to increase the motorists line of sight. Motion by Commissioner Berman, seconded by Commissioner Appelbaum. All in favor. 2- A request was received from a resident about the creation of a stop sign coming out of Talcott Rd onto Mohegan Lane due to limited sight distance, especially from driveways. This same issued was discussed and denied at the Traffic Commission meeting on 02/07/2005. The commission feels that the condition of this location has not changed since the original request and that a stop sign at this location will not facilitate the desired affects that the residents are looking for. Therefore the commission does not feel that a stop sign is required at this location. Motion by Commissioner Heiser, seconded by Commissioner Appelbaum. All in favor. Meeting adjourned: Motion by Commissioner Appelbaum. Motion seconded by Commissioner Berman. All are in favor 08:47 pm. Next Meeting: October 5`h, 2009 at 8:00 pm.
