Mr. McPherson reviewed Round Lake Boulevard by the vegetable farm and changes to the roadway and access. Mayor Trude thought the farm business has a lot of deliveries and people coming and going so 10 she would hate to cut off or limit access to their entrance. Mr. McPherson stated if the farm were ever to develop they would likely want to realign the roads. Mayor Trude stated the road by the farm will be very busy if the area develops. © Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — July 3, 2018 Page 2 Mr. McPherson stated there are two options that could be done to the roadway by the farm. He explained there could be a three-quarter access or they could allow full access for the farm. Mayor Trude stated she would like to have full access for that area of the road to allow for the big trucks coming and going to the farm. Mayor Trude did not think they will get a lot of people against this plan. They might get a lot of people at the public hearing just to make comments and hear what is going to happen to the road. 7h Avenue (CSAR 7) from north of Bunker Lake Boulevard to 157`h Avenue.
