my comment may not be appropriate with respect to rezoning. however i can not find anywhere else to send them so here they are... if access is to be allowed to this location from the east using 104th ave there are several things that need to be considered regarding 104th ave. 104th is a very narrow unpaved industrial "tank trail". there are more semi trucks up and down 104th than most or all avenues in anchorage. in the summer when the train is unloading sand at as&g the traffic backs up clear out onto old seward and up toward omalley for up to 20 minutes at a time. airport rentals has many oversize loads with pilot cars leaving all summer long. fsa had singles and doubles load semis going all day all week. paf and pepsi contribute also. national oilwell adds there share of truck traffic loading and unloading as well. at the very least 104th will have to improved. hopefully, with a wider paved road. if a light is to be installed at 104th and old seward a very long left turn lane will be needed or as happens in other parts of town left turn traffic will be backing up and hanging out into the main lanes of traffic. even with these improvements traffic will back up, especially when the train is unloading causing problems for the already existing businesses and the additional traffic target will add to the mix. i am for bring more business to anchorage but thought these issues should be brought to someones attention
