Mayor Burch stated the businesses along NW Platte Road were just beginning to recover from the 1993 flood losses and could not sustain closing the road for another 90 days. Mr. Don Hathaway, with John F. Lutjin, said that an alternative plan to closing the road would be to build a detour road which would allow traffic to flow as usual, however, the last figures he received on the construction of this detour would be from 80 to 100 thousand dollars. He thought that it would take about 90 days to complete the project, weather permitting. it was brought out that the Parks and Recreation Department did not have the money to pay for the detour and neither did Briarcliff West. Garrey Construction Company is going to do the improvement. A discussion was had concerning this project. It appeared that the cost of the detour would have to be obtained and Mr. Hathaway agreed to get this information. It was brought out that if NW Platte Road was closed, the traffic to Argosy would be such that it would effect the business in that area. i Min. of Reg.

Evelyn Phillips of White City Motel said they had almost recovered from the 1993 flood and to close NW Platte Road would put them completely out of business.

Stated if NW Platte Road is closed, he would not be able to get hie construction equipment and trucks out of his business area, because of the traffic tie-up. Walter Dowd of Beverly Lumber felt the closing of NW Platte Road would not result in a loss of business but would create a safety hazard for semi trucks delivering to his business. Further discussion was had and it was decided that Mr. Hathaway will get the cost of the construction of the detour road and he will contact the Missouri Highway Department for the specifications of the detour; that Garney Construction Company will be contacted along with Kansas City Parka and Recreation for some financial contribution to the detour road.
