(D) Open Forum – 1)Ramona Callender, 3250 Ashworth Rd., stated that she reviewed the
Kettlestone area traffic study that she requested but noted that the study was conducted in
2017. She added that Kettlestone Lakes was not initially planned for multi family development.
Ms. Callendar said that she had asked last year if the Kettlestone Lakes project area would
include any residential and she was told that none was planned. She requested that the City
conduct a new traffic study, voiced concerns about privacy for her property, and asked for a
buffer along her property and a gate at the end of her driveway to prevent drivers from
accidentally turning there. 2) Cody Crandall, 245 Prairie Bluff Dr., voiced concerns with
pedestrian safety in Painted Woods South, noting no traffic calming measures were in place. He
stated that a child on a scooter was recently seriously injured by a car and while he appreciated
the increased police presence in the area, he believed more should be done and he was
disappointed with an apathetic police response regarding the accident. He asked the City to
authorize a traffic audit for Prairie Bluff Dr. 3) Joan Ross, 450 SE Rosenkranz Dr., stated that
the use of motorized scooters on sidewalks and streets was dangerous and getting out of hand,
then expressed the opinion that parents should educate their children on scooter safety.
