Board Member Tom Brown stated for the record "The traffic plan that we have for the City has a red light at Vistawilla, some day. Like I say at every meeting when the death toll reaches a certain number, then they put the red light in. Now what you're going to have here, okay, and I just want it on the record that I know and I understand it because I've seen it throughout Orlando because they're still twenty-five years behind where they are in their building and nobody is using their heads. If I'm coming from Winter Springs, I'm coming down 434 and I make the light and somebody in front of me wants to turn in there and that would be more used than the back entrance, I can tell you that. Because you got the same thing as Kash N Karry, you've got resentment by the people that live there that all these commercial places are going in, and like Don said, there is nothing you can do about it. It was agreed to in a court action and its going to happen but that doesn't make it safe for that corner, and that is why I asked about that radius and I know you can't do anything. I don't know who talks to whom, I'm glad the City Attorney is here tonight, because that is going to be our next round, the accidents that we are going to be getting along in that area, probably. I don't know what can be done to make anybody do anything about that, but I know I won't come in on Tuscora now at all. I go down - it's too dangerous to try and slow down because they are coming through there like a bolt of lighting. They don't care what the speed limit is, they come along there - the average car that goes by there is in the sixty to seventy miles an hour range. You could check with the police because they pick them up just like that, I know they do, they love it. They sit right past where you are going to build here. I just want it on the record, those curves, I don't know why they don't have that lane to get over to the right to off of there because - and you are going to get more traffic up there than you do in the back, I think. I think you will. " Discussion ensued concerning whether Burger King must abide by the 434 Corridor plans which are being met; that drive-up windows may not face State Road 434; and that Burger King is meeting all the City's Code requirements. MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER KARR. "I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD FAVORABLY FORWARD THESE PLANS TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR THEIR ACTION CONTINGENT UPON THE PROPERTY BEING PLATTEID PRIOR TO A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BEING ISSUED."
