INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Ms. Jones reported back to the Commission on concerns that were raised last month. No one is sure <br />why there is no emergency light at Roselawn and Larpenteur, but according to a representative of the <br />Sheriffls office, those white lights are "not for civilians" anyway. All citizens need to do is obey the <br />traffic signals. The emergency light just means that the override is temporarily in effect. <br />Commissioner Lageson said he was concerned about some potential safety hazards for pedestrians. <br />There is a broken sign on the north side near the credit union and another on the south side of <br />Roselawn between Tatum and Fairview. This will be reported to Public Works. <br />Commissioner Harris asked about the bus bench situation and whether the planned bench has been <br />installed in front of 1666 Coffman. Councilmember Lindstrom said the bus bench study is ongoing <br />and he will find out if the Coffman bench is in place. <br />Mr. Lageson asked what would be needed to allow dogs in city parks. Mr. Lindstrom said that it <br />would have to go through the Parks and Recreation Commission. They revisit this issue every few <br />years and opted last time (5 - 6 years ago) to keep the restriction. <br />In response to a question from Commissioner Ryan about the Curtiss Field pond, Mr. Lindstrom said <br />that the City is in continuing discussion with the contractor. Recent rains washed soil into the bottom <br />of the pond. The contractor has to correct the situation within the next two weeks or pay penalties. <br />Another problem is the sidewalk, which has more slope than the specs. Mr. Ryan said the park looks <br />very nice but he is concerned about the standing water in the pond and potential liability for the City. <br />• In response to a question from Commissioner Lukermann, Mr. Lindstrom gave a brief update on the <br />SE Corner project. The senior building is open, and several residents have moved in. There will be <br />an open house later in the fall. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:07 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Deborah Jones, Staff Liaison <br />• <br />City of Falcon Heights -Planning Commission Meeting of September 28, 2004 -Page 3 of 3 <br />
