I I I Council Meeting Minutes February 9, 1993 Page 10 Council Business. continued Benke feels there is room for a 52 ft. width road with tapers between 5th and 7th St. From 5th St. to Co. Rd. E there is space for a landscape median and turn lanes to keep the road at 66 ft. South of that area the road could remain at 52 ft. with four lanes and traffic controls at Windsor Lane. Rebelein's definition is identical to Benke's between 5th and 7th St., but she refers to the area south as 52 ft. wide, curb to curb. She feels it would be acceptable to acquire additional right-of-way from the west side between 3rd St. and Co. Rd. E for landscaping. Mr. Soler said a 52 ft. width roadway should operate as four lanes with widening at the intersections. Larson feels increasing the width from 48 to 52 ft. does not remove too much green space, and gives two directional lanes with traffic lights for speed control. He has no problem with a 52 ft. width road from Silver lane to Co. Rd. E with a 66 ft. width at the intersection. Mr. Soler said Larson referenced a roadway that is wider at Co. Rd. E and narrows then widens at Windsor Lane with left turn lanes at both Windsor Lane and Co. Rd. E. Another option is to run the 66 ft. width continuously with a median or center turn lane with shoulders. Larson clarified he does not have a problem with a 66 ft. width between 5th St. and Co. Rd. E. and supports options which do not affect the residents with driveways on Silver Lake Road, the Foss House and Windsor Green. He feels the area on the west side between 5th St. and Co. Rd. E has available land to accommodate the landscaped medians. Rebelein said the intent is a 52 ft. width road which tapers with a left turn lane at Windsor Lane and shifting of the road to the west. There would not be left turn lanes on the north bound side of Windsor Lane or between 5th and 7th St. Benke confirmed that the street width would be 66 ft. from 5th St. to Co. Rd. E. The area south of Co. Rd. E would have four lanes with minimum widening at Windsor Lane, and then a 52 ft. width to Silver Lane. Mr. Soler summarized the Council recommendations: between Silver Lane and Co. Rd. E ~ four lanes and widening for left turn lanes at Silver Lane, Windsor lane South, and Co. Rd. E. with a road shift to the west; from Co. Rd. E to 5th St. - four lanes with left turn lanes at Co. Rd. E, 3rd and 5th St. and added width for turn lanes or landscaped islands; between 5th and 7th St. - widening to construct four lanes and left turn lanes at 5th and 7th St. either to operate in that order or provide a 4 ft. island to eliminate left turns.
