it is a State Highway. Gordon assigned.

Ustick. This item will be revisited in about June or when the construction project is
' complete in that area. Maybon will inform STEP team( applicant).
3. Request for Speed limit signs on Denver at VanBuren School. Current sign is small
yellow sign and needs replace. This issue is also considered in conjunction with 2
other request for that area. The commission agreed that we should post speed limit
zones on all sides of the school property. The signs will be placed before the
intersections as traffic approaches the school. They will lime green with school zone
and 20 mph with no time limits. Bruce to inform applicant and Gordon to see that
signs are done after Council approval.

traffic and could reconsider stop signs at a later date. Bruce will write letter after
Council approval and Gordon will get signage done.
5. Request to resolve inconsistent speed limit signage on Cleveland at 34 and Florida.
West bound is currently 45 mph to w. side of 34 but speed limit Eastbound isn't
posted to be 45mph until about 38` Decision of commission was that westbound
speed limit sign of 35 mph should be posted just east of 34 and that the speed limit .
sign should be posted 45 mph on the eastbound side just east of Florida. May require
resolution for State Highway. Bruce to follow-up on resolution with Betty Jo.

Discussed that we need to be able to better document usage and that we should table a
decision until the STEP team has the chance to look into it. Maybon to follow-up.
7. Request to change names and addresses on Arthur Court streets. This is already
being handled by the Fire Dept. through the Street Naming Ordinance process.
8. Request for diagonal parking at 215 S. 11 `" for Cowgirls Tanning. The street will
accommodate that, as it is wider that usual and apparently used to be this way.
Decision was to ask the applicant to get consent of neighbors and then we would get
it done. Bruce will follow up on this after Council approval.
9. Request for Handicap parking stalls at Leisure Village #5, 911 Belmont. Discussed
the problems with the request to have designated handicap parking on city streets and
felt that was not an option at this time. Recommendation of committee was to have .
the applicants seek to have designated handicap parking in the private parking lot of
the facility. Maybon to follow up on this after Council Approval.
10. Request from Principal at VanBuren School for flashing warning lights at the
crosswalk near 11 ` and Chicago. Discussed current markings and cost for flashing
lights. Decision was to place lime green signs and move the sign that is currently
obstructed by a tree to the east side of the tree and see if that will help slow traffic.
