PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />MARCH 13, 1996 <br />Police Chief, Pecchia, stated the Police Department had requested a <br />pedestrian survey be performed. He noted it would be easy for middle <br />school age children to ride their bikes to the school .and there is concern <br />of how they would cross Lake Drive. He stated the pedestrian survey <br />was not an issue which should be addressed by the Police Department <br />or the School District as they did not have the necessary expertise. <br />Acting Chair Johnson asked if the Police Department would be able to <br />monitor the intersection during crossing times if it was not possible to <br />have a signal light installed. <br />The Police Chief noted there currently is not the staff available to do so. <br />The School District would have to hire someone to perform the <br />monitoring. <br />Mr. Wessel noted the industrial park and school site were two separate <br />issues. There was no relationship between the two sites. <br />Mr. Mesich asked if the school site could be shifted over on the property <br />to allow stacking for busses and other traffic on Elm Street. <br />Mr. Mitchell stated this would be a much more palliative situation. He <br />explained the difficulty with this option was a row of houses and also it <br />would only provide for one access to the school. He noted the original <br />site plan did provide access to Elm Street for the sole purpose of parent <br />drop off or pick up of the children. He indicated residents were against <br />that proposal. <br />Mr. Robinson asked if Mr Rehbein was a party to the funding of the road <br />being built to Lake Drive and if so, which option he preferred. <br />Mr. Ahrens noted Mr. Rehbein was a party in the funding. He stated at <br />the last meeting held in January of 1996, all parties involved had agreed <br />to Option B which included realignment of Elm Street. <br />Mr. Wurscher stated he felt if there was an option to negotiate with Mr. <br />Rehbien for more support it should be explored. <br />Mr. Weigold stated it was obvious to him, after hearing the conversation, <br />that there were still too many questions involved to make a decision. <br />12 <br />
