directed tobring back this item and said a very thorough staff report has been attached to this item. She said she

closed as long as the city's action is rationally related to a legitimate state interest. She added this has been held
to mean closing a public street or road can be done when the action is for the benefit of city residents. She said, in
this case, the reason for the street closure is to alleviate traffic in Woodland Park. She said closing ofthis road
requires a study of the impact on the residents and an analysis of all costs and benefits tuthe city. She noted, the

provide the city with information regarding the impacts ifany resulting tuthe Sun City subdivision and the cost
related torestricting traffic bxthis intersection for emergency access only. She said, without this information, it is
her opinion that the City Council has insufficient information homake a decision emtuwhether closing the road io
rationally related to a legitimate state interest. She noted, if Council approves the Ordinance to restrict access, it is
staff s recommendation to defer the second reading of the Ordinance until sufficient information is available for
Council homake afully informed analysis nnthis issue. Mayor id andChapman confirmed this could bmlegally
