Mayor Pro Tem reviewed agenda items that have been placed on the council agenda for Monday,
September 26, 2005 with Department Heads who have items on the agenda.
Items discussed:
1. An ordinance prohibiting parking on the northeast side of the 1900 block of Easton
Avenue. Letters were sent to 11 residents. Traffic Operations has received responses
from four residents, with two in favor and two opposed to the change. Discussed if
two-hour parking would solve the problem, but not enough staff to chalk tires and
enforce the two hour parking
2. Installation of street lights in front of 310, 402 and 424 Conger Street. The street
lights were requested by the Common Grounds Neighborhood Association. This is a
long block with lights only at the intersections.
3. The site plan amendment for the northeasterly corner of Greyhound Drive and
Highway 63 for purpose of construction of Gold's Gym and a convenience store. The
area is properly zoned for these types of businesses. It has been anticipated
commercial businesses such as hotels, convenience stores and restaurants would
locate in this area. There are a couple of developers in the area and there could be
some light industrial development.
4. Councilperson Greenwood discussed the private street A-B Avenue. A person called
him who is building a $400,000 home in the area and is concerned the street will only
be slurry material. Councilperson Greenwood suggested the city set standards for
private streets before the development occurs. Don Temeyer, Community Planning
and Development Director, responded the person would have bought the lot from the
developer with the understanding it would be a private street and he would have to
work with the developer to have water and sewer installed prior to construction of the
home. This would be a private issue between the developer and buyer and the city
would not be involved.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Gunderson, seconded by Kincaid
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:25 a.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Cole. Motion carried.
