MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 11, 1992 <br />Frattalone requested that the speed limit on Country <br />Drive be increased to 40 miles per hour. The road is <br />currently posted at 30 miles per hour, which Frattalone <br />felt was too low. <br />The Administrator pointed out that the City will have <br />to request the State do a speed study to determine if a <br />higher speed limit is justified. <br />Birch again indicated his feeling that the City had a <br />responsibility for assuming costs associated with road <br />improvements in the Park. <br />Blesener replied that he could not ethically agree <br />because the City would then be spending other taxpayers <br />dollars to fix a road which was never put in properly <br />to begin with. Blesener agreed with the Engineer's <br />suggestion that a small committee sit down and discuss <br />the options and try to come to a consensus of that is <br />acceptable to the property owners. <br />The Administrator suggested that the recommendation of <br />the committee be prepared in a short report and <br />submitted to all the Ryan Industrial Park property <br />owners along with a survey to determine the feelings of <br />all the property owners. The results of both the <br />committee meeting and survey would then be presented to <br />the City Council. <br />A property owner asked what the priority for the <br />improvement is, public safety, drainage, sewer or <br />water. <br />The City Engineer replied that he has tried to lay out <br />a menu of options for consideration. <br />That property owner pointed out that different areas <br />have different problems, and felt it was up to the <br />property owners to come up with recommendations. It <br />was also pointed out that the property owners have been <br />paying taxes for a long time. The property owner also <br />reported that this will be a tough year on the <br />businesses in the Park since customers are cutting back <br />on spending. <br />Blesener felt that the number one issue was public <br />safety, with the Engineer stating that access was a <br />priority. <br />Scalze pointed out that the issue was brought up by the <br />property owners via a petition that was submitted to <br />the City. <br />Page 15 <br />Page 21 <br />
