Joint Meetina with Planning & Zonina Committee reaardi.na 35/64 Desian: At
1030.A.M. Dorsey, Luckey, and Raymond of the Planning & Zoning Committee;
Tom Nelson of Zoning, Dave Fodroczi of Planning, and Marty Beekman and Terry
Pederson of WisDOT joined the Transportation Committee to discuss the 35/64
design.
Beekman reviewed the events leading to the current status of the project
which includes the state budget problems, the Stillwater bridge time -line,
and the approach design to date. It was explained that the bridge approach
and the Houlton-New Richmond projects are being designed as expressways and
that the freeway concept is an ultimate scenario. Beekman added that the
EIS, the legislative enumeration, and the design of these projects are all
based on an expressway type facility. The concept of a freeway type facility
relates. to long range planning, i.e., enabling the initially constructed
expressway to be easily,converted to a freeway in the future.
Pederson reviewed conceptual designs including local road alterations for an
expressway and an ultimate freeway with three alternatives for the bridge
approach area. Discussions included the need to know the costs to the local
governments to accomplish the freeway design through the area, the need for
an impact study, safety enhancements, and future local road traffic patterns
and levels. The Committees offered their opinions if they want to pursue
planning for an ultimate freeway or an expressway or a combination of both.
A motion was made by Raymond, seconded by Menter, to endorse a freeway
planning concept on the west end up to and including 150th Street with the
understanding that the cost for the additional local road improvements will
be negotiated between the state and the local governments. Motion carried.
Discussion reaarding Subdivision Road Inspections and Billings• Fedderly
reviewed. the billing and budgeting process the Highway Department goes
through for accountability. Dorsey and Nelson reviewed the subdivision
requirements, the flat fee structure, and the costs incurred, indicating that
