property, possibly an easement or fee title can be obtained. Balmer called
1-109
attention to his suggestion that Parks and Recreation look at the possibility
of selling the Elm Grove Park, and using the money for other park areas.
Berlin stated that Showalter was not averse to this suggestion.
EXECUTIVE SESSION Berlin advised that there would not need to be a session.
JOINT MEETING WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 5:15 PM
109-1077
Commissioners Jaco sen, Ogeson, Blum, Kammermeyer present. Schmeiser's memo
of 3/14 noted. Jacobsen stated that the Commission's concern was that as
Foster Road is now planned in an undeveloped neighborhood, this is a chance
to put in a street system that is well planned. Ogeson discussed the alter-
natives from thestaff memo, disagreeing with some of the statements & impacts.
The alignment in the Comprehensive Plan is the natural alignment, the present
concept is for 2 lanes, 33' wide street, two segments; 1) Dubuque to Prairie
du Chien (2 areas of intersection with PdC),and 2)Prairie du Chien to Bristol
Drive or Old Dubuque Road (problem of crossing of ravine). P&Z usually deals
with a developers plan. All agreed this is a prime area for development, for
possibly 7000 additional persons. The Trafficway's element of the Comp..Plan
addresses the issue, the alignment was left as a dotted line. .Responsibility
to citizens to tell them where the road is to go, and developers providing
plans were discussed. Oakes has a plan now. Jeff Sales & Atty. Wm. Sueppel
entered into the discussions. Consensus was to leave Foster Road in the
Comprehensive Plan at this time. The Comprehensive Plan addresses concerns
about getting from one place to another. The commercial interchange has been
moved to Dodge,and when the plan is updated, the red dot will be moved.
Another meeting for public input will be scheduled on the Foster Road issue.
Melrose Court Roberts left the meeting, 6:45 PM
Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendations as listed on agenda, noted.
Council questioned when the Byington/Grand improvements would be made. Berlin
advised that Council had deferred them to FY81 because of the proposed law
school. Raising the curb 8" to 10" for safety purposes was suggested. Par-
ticipants noted two areas of concern: 1) the Melrose corridor and traffic
pressures, long-range solutions codld be studied by a Task Force composed of
citizens, Commissioners, Councilmembers, and University personnel, as a
sub -committee of P&Z, 2) on whether or not to open Melrose Court, reduction
of traffic, & short-range solutionscould be presented by Staff. Consensus
was to form a Task Force, Vevera not agreeing, with time limit for report.
Meeting adjourned, 7:15 PM.
