DISCUSSION:           Building Code Ordinances

 

ACTION:                   Friddle stated that the ordinance section 157 has too many conflicts.  After discussions with the Mayor and City Planner it was advised to eliminate the ordinances and follow current BOCA codes and the City could add any necessary ordinances.  Friddle explained that it has been difficult for everyone that is involved in the process and could cause the city liability issues.

 

                                    Orr stated he wanted to see the ordinances that were being struck out and a letter from Tonelli.  He asked that this information be presented at the next meeting. Existing structures in the downtown area was an item of concern since they would not be up to code.  Friddle explained that this was covered in the codes.

 

DISCUSSION:           Stop Sign Ordinance

 

ACTION:                   Alderman Hermes requested that a stop sign be placed at Kahler and Buchanan to stop the speeding that is occurring on Kahler.  He has been receiving complaints from residents.

 

                                    The Committee discussed the traffic flow issues on Kahler and thought it might be advantageous to have the sign placed at Luther and Kahler.  Since Mietzner is in the same ward as Hermes he will discuss this with him.

 

DISCUSSION:           Miscellaneous

 

ACTION:                   Speed Limit on Widows Road – McIntyre stated he sent a letter to Sheldon Latz from the County to ask for a speed limit change to 30 miles per hour.  It will take approximately 6-8 weeks for the County’s review process.
