4. Topic: Ordinance1829(2) amending the Official Traffic Map to make additional adjustments to accommodate the two-way street system.

Presenter: Larry Gobel

Purpose: To consider recommendations to amend certain parking areas within the downtown business area that will provide for compact car parking, eliminate certain no parking areas, and relocate certain 15-minute parking stalls. The net result will be to add nine new downtown parking stalls and to address concerns regarding pedestrian and motorist safety by restricting certain parking stalls to compact car usage. Analysis of the two-way traffic configuration has been underway since November. After review of the new traffic patterns and comments received from the general public by the City Engineer, Department of Public Works staff and Police Department staff, it is recommended that the changes contained within Ordinance 1829(2) be implemented to complete the successful transition from one-way paired streets to our present two-way traffic configuration. Further analysis is underway of the traffic signal system to determine if it can be modified to improve traffic flow generally.

5. Topic: Ordinance 1830(3) amending the Official Traffic Map by adding stop signs on McWan Drive and Devon Road in Fox River Landing Subdivision.

Presenter: Larry Gobel

Purpose: As part of the Fox River Landing subdivision approval a stop sign has been placed at the intersection of McWan Drive and Browns Lake Drive (CTH W). Adding it to the City’s Official Traffic Map is a housekeeping matter. The addition of a stop sign on Devon Road at the intersection with McWan Drive is recommended by the Police Department as a matter of traffic control. As new homes have been added to the Fox River Landing subdivision the police have noticed there is a need to identify the collector street (McWan Drive) and the land access street (Devon Road) placing stop signs accordingly to help traffic flow safely and smoothly. Ordinance 1830(3) addresses both of these stop sign placements.

6. Topic: Ordinance 1831(4) amending the Official Traffic Map by creating a No Parking Zone on Buckley Street.

Presenter: Larry Gobel

Purpose: Buckley Street, which runs between the Glen at Stonegate subdivision to the intersection of STH 36/83, and between the Fox River and STH 36/83, is a collector street functioning effectively with up to four lanes of traffic. Parking along Buckley Street has not been contemplated as part of any development served by this collector street, and upon review by the Police Department and Department of Public Works it is recommended that this entire street be posted prohibiting parking, and that the Official Traffic Map of the City be amended to create this no parking zone. On-site parking for the abutting properties has been contemplated in each site plan approved by the Plan Commission so parking should not be an issue for any existing or future sites.

7. Topic: Ordinance 1832(5) amending the Official Traffic Map by creating a No Parking Zone on Spring Brook Drive, Hidden Creek Lane and Tributary Lane.

Presenter: Larry Gobel

Purpose: The City’s Official Traffic Map needs to be updated reflecting that there will be no parking on the west side of Springbrook Drive and Hidden Creek Lane and on the north side of Tributary Lane and part of Hidden Creek Lane in the Springbrook Landing Subdivision. The subdivision, built in a traditional residential style, has already been posted "No Parking" on one side of the street by the developer, as was agreed upon in the Developer's Agreement. This issue is a housekeeping item.

8. Topic: Resolution 4108(3) approving Task Order Number Fifty-Six with Kapur and Associates, Inc. for the 2007 City of Burlington – Street and Sidewalk Improvement Program for the not-to-exceed amount of $119,259.00.

Presenter: Larry Gobel

Purpose: To consider a recommendation from the DPW Streets and Parks Supervisor and the DPW Utilities Manager to approve a field engineering agreement with Kapur & Associates, Inc. for the 2007 Street and Sidewalk Improvement Program that includes street and sidewalk maintenance as well as extensive underground utility work. Funding for this service is provided in both the General Fund and Enterprise Funds. Previously presented to the C-O-W, as Resolution 4097(85) on March 20^th, this Task Order is re-presented to the C-O-W as a housekeeping matter because it has been re-numbered in accordance with our City Code following the annual Organizational Meeting. This item is placed on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.

9. Topic: Ordinance 1827(31) to create a Wellhead Protection Overlay District.

Presenter: Connie Wilson

Purpose: In response to the emerging problems with the sandstone aquifer, our community is in the process of adopting a wellhead protection plan, which is a means of protecting our public drinking water supply. There are two reasons for developing the plan, one is to create a safeguard plan for the City of Burlington’s public drinking water supply and the second is to meet the State of Wisconsin’s DNR requirement for our new municipal well number 11.

Tonight the City Council will hold a public hearing to consider a new zoning law implementing these protections by restricting certain uses on properties within the re-charge zone for our wells. Because this new zoning law directly affect residential, commercial, business and farm properties by prohibiting certain property uses a Class 2 public hearing is required and notice was mailed to approximately 1,100 local property owners. Since contamination principally comes from concentrations of hazardous materials the real impact on private property owners is probably minimal, so the impact from these new laws will not noticeably affect most property owners within the wellhead protection zones.

10. Topic: Resolution 4106(2) approving a Certified Survey Map for the City of Burlington for property that is a redivision of Lot 3 of Certified Survey Map Number 2532, and part of Outlot 2 of Certified Survey Map 2498, also being a part of the NE ¼, NW ¼, SW ¼, and SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 9, Town 2 North, Range 19 East, City of Burlington, Racine County, Wisconsin.
