Loading...
Summary
Committee recommended adding a stop sign at the Graver/Graeber Road and Lynn Street intersection, approved a developer agreement for 6300 University with an edit to reference the Complete Streets During Construction policy, and updated the leaf-collection policy to exclude garden waste longer than 12 inches; all motions passed and will be forwarded to council as appropriate.
The Middleton Public Works Committee took several routine actions on Oct. 27 and forwarded recommendations to the finance committee and common council.
Traffic control: Staff recommended adding a stop sign on Lynn Street at the new Graver (documented as —Graver Graeber Road— in the packet) intersection where the developer's plans convert Lynn Street into a three-way intersection with Graver Road. The committee voted to recommend adding Lynn Street to the city'99s stop-sign ordinance (section 15.031) and asked common council to consider suspending rules for the change.
Developer agreement at 6300 University Avenue: Staff described a standard public-improvements agreement for sidewalks and storm infrastructure. Committee members asked that the agreement explicitly reference the city'99s Complete Streets During Construction policy under applicable ordinances/policies. The committee moved to recommend approval to finance & personnel and common council with that edit (pending city attorney review); the motion carried.
Leaf-collection policy update: Staff proposed a minor change to the leaf/garden-waste collection policy because newly deployed equipment cannot safely collect garden waste pieces longer than 12 inches. The committee recommended adopting the exclusion and asked staff to update resident communications; the motion passed.
Liaison briefing: A separate update noted the donation of about 14 acres of wetland to Pheasant Branch north of Whittlesley and west of High Road adjacent to a bike path; the parcel was described as largely invasive but important to the northern watershed.
All committee motions on these items were approved by voice vote and will be forwarded to the appropriate next steps (finance committee, city attorney review or common council) for final action.
