Comprehensive Plan Update Steering Committee Minutes of January 14, 1999 Page 3 of Bernard Legrand expressed his concerns with the increased traffic on SH 146 as a result of future port expansion. Patricia Wright, 2038 Lomax School Rd., is opposed to Farrington being extended to SH 225. Evelyn Kennedy asked to be involved with future meetings so that she can address issues regarding the Neighborhood Center and the health clinic. Councilperson Guy Sutherland, 10200 North "L" St., wanted to assure everyone that Council has repealed reference to extension of Farrington to SH 225 in existing plans and is no longer an issue. Vice -Chairperson Waters apologized for any misunderstanding regarding how the Steering Committee would be structured and what individuals would be chosen to serve on the committee. John Joems, Assistant City Manager, helped with preparation of the current Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Joems noted that in 1985, property owners in the Lomax area were selling acreage for the development of subdivisions. Greater population densities that were predicted for that area are what prompted the idea for the extension of Farrington as a means to get people around. Subsequently, more people began purchasing acreage so the densities did not become as great as was expected. Vice -Chairperson Waters declared the citizen comment portion of the meeting to be over and called for a short break at 8:20 PM. V. Discuss Preparation of Goals and Objectives. Goals and objectives were not assigned due to time constraints. Bret Keast reviewed the tentative schedule of meetings and deliverables. The existing land use inventory and transportation will be discussed at the next meeting. Mr. Keast gave a brief overview of the preliminary draft the Committee will use as a guide to create the transportation thoroughfare system plan. The Committee divided into two groups and made draft revisions to the current thoroughfare plan.
