III LEGISLATION
The first issue to be discussed by the Council, staff, and members of the
Planning Commission was development impacts on Golf Course Road. Several
concerns were raised by both groups, some of which included the lack of
sidewalks, the narrow width of the road, increased traffic due to the recent
developments in the area, and the health and safety needs of the Golf Course
Road residents and the citizens who use the road.
Also discussed were options for improvement of the road (L.I.D. versus de-
veloper contributions to the Arterial Street Fund); the proposed White Creek
crossing and its impacts on the Golf Course Road area; police and fire pro-
tection; the increased demands on storm sewers and the sewerage treatment
plant; and the need for input from developers regarding development impacts and
what can be done to resolve, or at' lease minimize those impacts.
Following the discussion on Golf Course Road, several other subjects were
discussed including the County's plans for Milwaukee Drive; what factors are
discouraging the growth of the downtown area; waterfront development by the
Port; the possibility of filling in the ravine near Alder street and using it
for commercial development; the need for medical/dental professional office
space; status of the updated ZOning Ordinance and the new Sign Ordinance;
vandalism throughout the City; and the procedures for filling Planning Com-
mission vacancies.
