RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS / Public Works Committee September 20, 1990 Committee: Attending: Also Attending: Chairman Dickinson, Trustees Barker and Habecker All Trustee Garrett, Town Administrator Klaphake, Public Works Director Widmer, Ass't. Public Works Director Linnane, Sidney Hoskins, Joe Murphree, Florence Gravem, Clerk O'Connor Absent: None Chairman Dickinson called the meeting of the Public Works Committee to order at 2:00 P.M. 1990 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - HOLIDAY LANE CUL-DE-SAC: Staff advised that the 1990 Street Improvement Program included the installation of a 50' diameter cul-de-sac located at the eastern edge of Holiday Lane. This street and Lots 7 and 8 Esquire Acres abut the 18-hole golf course. Installation of the cul-de-sac was based upon traffic safety, snow removal efforts, and convenience to motorists. A fence, now owned by Sidney Hoskins (Lot 8/1240 Holiday Lane) is located in the street right-of- way and causes snowplows and private vehicles to use other private driveways to turn -around. Staff is also proposing a 6' fence opening to provide public access to the golf course. Sidney Hoskins addressed the Committee and stated he had no objection to the proposed 6' opening; however, in his opinion it will increase traffic and speed. In addition, Mr. Hoskins stated the cul-de-sac will not alleviate the backing -up movement for snowplows, and he questioned whether alternatives to the cul- de-sac could be considered. Joe Murphree (1224 Holiday Lane) and Florence Gravem (1160 Holiday Lane) also expressed their objection based upon drainage, increased traffic, and child safety concerns. Staff reported that a "hammer -head" -shaped lane could be constructed, however, it would necessitate more space than the cul-de-sac and would not alleviate the backing -up movement. Following discussion and confirmation that a survey would be prepared clearly defining affected property pins, and that the drainage concern wotip be corrected if the cul-de-sac was installed, the Committee recommends -sta proceed with thc i-ns-t 1 a i o : of thc cul-dc sac' . on Holiday -a re:'":e.s/a-f9a "bfa nd wraa.47.*- . �.•'9/" ae,,c�G.> 8 WEST RIVERSIDE PARK, PHASE IV - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO REMOVE STRUCTURES: Staff reported that the Town has received a grant in the amount of $60,000 for the construction of the aforestated park, and the Town is now in receipt of the property. Construction will begin in 1991 and must be completed within one (1) year. In preparation for construction, staff requested authorization to bid removal of all structures (primary house, 3 cabins, and a garage/shed). Interest has been expressed in moving the primary house. Following discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the request to bid demolition/removal of the structures, directing staff to clarify the issue of when a structure is moved and placed inside Town Limits whether it must be brought up to code. NOTE: Upon discussion with the Building Official following this meeting, staff confirmed a structure must in fact be brought up to code when removed and placed inside Town Limits. x'r.
