Street and West Lake Street. The extra expense for curb, gutter and sidewalks would be <br /> MN/DOT,but maintenance, repair and replacement would be a City expense. It was the <br /> consensus of the Planning Commission to not include curb, gutter and sidewalks in this <br /> area. <br /> Woodman Street north to CSAH n — <br /> The 371 Committee stated the bike lanes should eventually loop back to the Paul Bunyan <br /> Trail and could be used for snowmobile traffic in the winter. Truck traffic was again a <br /> concern and the driving lanes should be left at 11 feet wide. <br /> Planning Commission Member Brown was concerned with the recommendation to <br /> create parking along First Street. Pedestrians would have traffic on both sides; people <br /> walking need to feel safe. She recommends turning First Street back to the adjacent <br /> property owners. <br /> The 371 Committee was also concerned that there were no turn lanes at the <br /> intersections. Parallel parking should be added on the east for vehicles with trailers and <br /> for vendors at the Park; this would need to be wider, possibly 10 feet. <br /> It was the consensus to use the original concept, 6-foot bike lane away from traffic with <br /> parking between, vacate First Street, add a center left turn lane at intersection, 9-foot <br /> parking, 10 to 11-foot driving lanes,wide parking area and bike lane on the east. <br /> Entrances could be added for SA and Family Dollar. <br /> CSAH ii &Highway 371 Intersection — <br /> It was the Planning Commission's consensus to remove the 371 Committee suggestion <br /> for a traffic study to determine if turn lanes can be removed. This should be a 4-way <br /> stop with bump outs or a roundabout. <br /> CSAH n north to Sibley Street — <br /> The Planning Commission had discussed vacating and platting First Street; water and <br /> wastewater would need to be extended and may not be a MN/DOT expense. <br /> Development would increase the tax base and more businesses in this area would bring <br /> more people to this side of town. Bittner reported there was concern from a property <br /> owner on Front Street that developing this area would block visibility of businesses on <br /> Front Street. <br /> Sibley Street north to Grove Street — <br /> It was the consensus to vacate/close Front Street at the Highway 371 entrance. <br /> Town Square Concept: <br /> Minutes <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission 2 <br /> November 21,2013 <br />
