Council funds $15,300 for concept plans to rework land-use and road layout around 113th/East French Lake Road
Summary
Council approved a $15,300 Stantec contract to produce two concept plans (to be revised into a third) for the 113th Avenue/East French Lake Road area; the work will help resolve land-use, road-alignment and development conflicts under the current moratorium.
Dayton City Council on May 27 approved a $15,300 contract with Stantec to prepare concept plans for the area around 113th Avenue and East French Lake Road. The study will produce two concept plans and a consolidated third option to guide future land-use and road-alignment decisions in a part of the city where industrial, business-park and residential designations currently meet.
The council previously imposed a six-month moratorium while it examined competing concept and alignment proposals. Staff said the work would be completed this summer and noted funds are available in the budget for studies and unanticipated plans. A Stantec-led process will produce options for the council and Planning Commission to review, and staff suggested the drafts be circulated to the council, Planning Commission and property owners for feedback.
Public comment from a local property owner (Bill Ramsey) urged council to avoid routing truck traffic onto East French Lake Road and recommended buffering industrial uses from planned medium-density housing; he said his parcel includes delineated wetlands that should be considered in any road alignment. Councilmembers responded that the concept planning should be an iterative process: "You can each fill in your kind of areas of what you feel is best for land use and then we'll mash them together," a councilmember said, and staff will return with the drafts for further comment.
The council voted 5-0 to authorize the contract and the concept-planning work.
