Mayor McAleer stated that it was not his intent to increase densities.
Administrator Carlson went though the process for de-mapping a street.
A public hearing would be held and a recommendation from Plan Commission
would be considered. The City Council makes the final decision.
The Council discussed the fact that this was mapped 5 years ago and that
the City Planner (at that time) recommended that grids be established throughout
the City before development occurred. There was opposition at the
public hearing regarding the mapping of this street. Since that time
there have been many political comments, regarding the development of the
area. The densities in that area are not going to materialize. More
upscale less dense appears to be what is going to occur in that area. Ald.
Craig discussed a safety issue. The proposed street comes out just
south of the American Legion. There is a little hill in that area
