RE: HOSPITAL PARKING LOT
TOPIC: {400,175,,,MADISON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL,PARKING LOTS,SIGNS,
HANDICAPPED)
John Watson Jr. was at the meeting to present the revised plans of the
Madison Memorial Hospital parking lot. They had met with Joe and he
had been pleased with the modificatio..s they have made. There :•:ould be
plenty of visual control over the intersection. The entrance to the
emergency entrance would be on the South West corner. Signage would
help direct the traffic. They had complaints on the grade of the
existing parking lot. There would be better Handicapped Parking and
parking for the elderly. The existing city storm drainage comes right
through there. This would make 75 parking places instead of 48. A
motion was made by Jim Long and seconded by Mike Thueson to take the
plan to public hearing so all the neighbors can be informed and be able
to see the plans. All Aye
RE: 5UMMERSET APARTMENTS PARKING LOT
TOPIC: (400,175,,,SUMMERSET APARTMENTS,PARKING LOTS,APARTMENTS,
RIGHT-OF-WAY)
Mr and Mrs Dale Allen were at the meeting to show plans for an addition
to the Summerset Apartments Parking lot. They have been housing women
but have now changed to housing for men. They have more men with
automobiles than they have parking for. They are land locked on both
sides. They would like to take the grass out on 5th South and
restructure the sidewalk and cut the curb down They then could make
135 parking places instead of 115. The planning board told them this
would put the parking stalls on the right-a-way which can't be done.
It is against the ordinance. It would also eliminate the percent of
open space required by the ordinance.
