Flllen 7he Planner presented to the Council the proposal for the development Avenue of the Flllen Avenue area that was approved by the Planning Commission. Proposal There were originally three different proposals that the Planner ~ Flynn submitted to the P7anning Commission. These were modified due to Proposal the concern of the owner of the Germain property for not running the street all the way through and the objections of the residents on Payne Avenue for having Allen Street run all the way through. The Planner provided for only a small section of Allen Avenue to run through to Payne Avenue. The Planner stated that he has en extensive report on the development of this area that he will be submitting to the Co~incil. The P1anner also suggested that the City consider acquiring park land under thet~oti~Pr ~ines for a neighborhood park. The Planner suggested that this be referred to the Park Gommission for their recommendation. P4rs. Scalze stated that the Park Commission wanted to obtain that land, but the people did not want this. The Park Commission would nor~ like to try to acquire the property on a block by block basis. Mrs. Scalze asked for Council approval of this. The P1anner stated that the peop1e objected to a trail on this property, and he is suggesting a neighborhood park. The Planner also suggested that the City should try to acquire an additional strip of land so that a ball field could be made on this property. The Planner commented that the only weakness in the p7an is the two long streets with no cross-circulation. Mayor Nanson stated that this is not uncommon. There is no cross-circulation on Payne Flvenue and Edgerton The Planner stated that the fact that it happened in the past should not be an excuse for the future. Messrs. Flynn, Sophie, and Peterson stated that they were in agreement with the plan recommended by the Planning Commission. Page -11-
