<br /> MINUTES <br /> City Council <br /> November 12, 1980 <br /> Mayor Hanson stated that he talked to Mr. Anderson and he was not opposed <br /> to the improvement of Park Street. <br /> Mr. Veilleux stated that he was not opposed to the improvement, but suggested <br /> that a cul-de-sacs be put in rather than going through to Demont. Vei1leux <br /> then stated that he was opposed to the improvement unless there was a cul- <br /> de-sac. <br /> Mr. Russ Johnson stated that he was opposed unless there was a cul-de-sac <br /> put in. <br /> Mr. Conway appeared before the Council. Mr. Conway stated that this <br /> subject has been coming up every couple of years. Conway stated that <br /> a cul-de-sac could present fire protection problems. It would also <br /> destroy a large amount of buildable land. There would also be the <br /> problem of speeding vehicles going through the cul-de-sac. Mr. Conway <br /> also stated the School District would like Park Street through so that <br /> their school buses would have another route to County Road C and then to <br /> Rice Street. Mr. Conway also brought up the question of the size of <br /> the road that would be needed if commercial traffic was allowed onto <br /> Park Street. <br /> Mayor Hanson stated that the longer the development of Park Street is <br /> held off, the greater the cost will be. <br /> Councilman Nadeau stated that if Mr. Johnson does not want to give his <br /> property for an easement, he was not in favor of the development of <br /> Park Street. Nadeau also stated that with the commercial property on <br /> Park Street, you couldn't get by with a cul-de-sac. Nadeau stated that <br /> at present he was opposed. <br /> Councilman Fahey stated that he was not in favor of a cul-de-sac. Fahey <br /> also stated that he would prefer hearing from more people that they <br /> were in favor of Park Street. <br /> Councilwoman Scalze asked the Engineer how wide a cul-de-sac is. The <br /> Engineer replied that it is 60 feet wide. <br /> Mr. Mark Schultz stated that he would like to see Park Street go all the <br /> way through, but that he was opposed to it at the price the Engineer has <br /> determined it would cost. Mr. Schultz asked if he would be assessed <br /> for Park Street. The Engineer replied that once a property has been <br /> assessed for an improvement, it couldn't be assessed again. <br /> Fahey suggested the possibility of improving Lake Street be looked at. <br /> Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOLUTION N0. 80-11-421 - CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON <br /> IMPROVEMENT N0. 81-3, THE IMPROVEMENT OF PARK STREET FROM <br /> DEMONT TO COUNTY ROAD C <br /> Page -7- <br /> <br />
