Parking: Planning Commission Member Snyder suggested using the rightoof- <br /> way along current Highway 371 as parking for RV's and trailers once the alternate <br /> route is built. <br /> Chair Seils stated businesses won't like parking being removed from CSAH 11. <br /> We need to make a list indicating we have a plan; the turnback agreement with <br /> the County is where a lot of this gets laid out. The City Council and the County <br /> can negotiate it. <br /> Sidewalks/Crosswalks: Mr. Burslie stated the County needs to know CSAH 11 <br /> will be a City street with sidewalks and crosswalks. Mr. Loven stated stamped <br /> crosswalks are fine,but pavers don't stay flat. Salt would eat away at stamped <br /> concrete. Stamped pavement is the best. The consensus was for an asphalt <br /> trail/sidewalk instead of concrete sidewalks. <br /> Bury Utility Lines: The utility companies will need to figure that out. <br /> Medians: It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that there be no <br /> medians; they are too costly to maintain. <br /> Lighting: The lighting should be pedestrian scale and decorative. This should <br /> be included on the list and could be negotiated with the utility company. Street <br /> lights are expensive and need to be maintained. Mr. Loven stated he believes <br /> there is a City cost on the County fee schedule. The consensus was to include <br /> lighting on the list. <br /> Curb&Gutter: Mr. Loven stated the need to control water and curb and gutter <br /> should be installed at least to Bergquist Drive. <br /> Landscaping: It was the consensus to not include grass or flowers due to <br /> maintenance;benches and pieces of artwork could be added. <br /> Next month a draft memo to the City Council will be included for review. <br /> The meeting was called to order at 6:57 p.m. by Chair Seils. <br /> NORTH WASHINGTON AVENUE DISCUSSION: <br /> Mr. Burshe explained last month's meeting. He suggested using bump-outs at <br /> CSAH 11, providing a shorter distance for pedestrians to cross the street. A tree <br /> or bench could be placed on the bump-outs. <br /> Council Member Pederson had supplied a diagram that included sidewalks, <br /> parking, driving lanes and a pedestrian oasis in the center. Mayor Adams <br /> suggested continuing the parallel parking on the west side to the end of the block, <br /> Oriole Street. Planning Commission Member Snyder suggested the pedestrian <br /> Minutes 3 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> March 21, 2013 <br />
