Pledge of Allegiance The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Roll Call for the Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Public Works Committee meeting: UPresentU UAbsent Dan Jashinsky, Chair Harold Roberts Art Baumann Jeremy Craven Mark Millot Dan Miller Jackie Valde, Ald Also present Mike Court, Engineer Tom Hafner, City Administrator/Director of Public Works 1. Approve minutes of March 1, 2017 Public Works Committee Meeting. There were no objections from the Public Works Committee; therefore, the March 1, 2017 Public Works Committee Meeting minutes were approved as presented. 2. City of Delafield Citizen's Comments Kent Attwell, 2816 Ridley Road, was present regarding Items 4c and 4f on the agenda. Regarding item 4c, He was in support of altering the speed limit on the new part of Highway C to make the transition of various speeds a bit easier for motorists. He questioned the need for a lower speed limit on portions of the roadway since the path was now separated from the roadway and houses were set back at a suitable distance. Regarding Item 4f, he noted that the City of Delafield 2030 Comprehensive Plan included a plan for paths in existing and new subdivisions and along main roadways. The plan also explained that any time a roadway was resurfaced; a separated path should be investigated for inclusion in the roadway resurfacing plans in certain areas. Specific roadways, including the recently completed portion of Highway C, portions of Milwaukee Street and Nagawicka Road, were noted as areas of interest within the plan. Hearing no objections, City of Delafield Citizen s Comments was closed. 3. Unfinished Business a. Lumber Inn use of right-of-way south of the sidewalk. Discussion and possible action regarding Lumber Inn s request to use a portion of the Wells Street right-of-way. Recommendations from the last Public Works Committee meeting had been shared with the owner of the Lumber Inn. The owner had proposed planting pots and benches to be placed atop poured concrete to provide a barrier area for seating south of the sidewalk. Discussion ensued regarding enforcement of ordinances, safety and right-of-way concerns related to the current situation. Concern was expressed regarding the location of the tables, chairs and areas where servers would need to walk outside the seating area that brought people closer to the

3 Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Page 2 of 5 CITY OF DELAFIELD PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES DRAFT 6:30 PM 4. New Business travel lanes of the roadway. Discussion also took place regarding options available on the site. If the on-street parking were eliminated from the south side of the restaurant, there would need to be at least a two foot buffer from a curb to ensure that mirrors from passing cars were not close to the people eating at the tables. Parking in the area was a priority in the past. To add curb and gutter would remove the parking stalls. Safety for all remained a concern. BAUMANN MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE PLAN COMMISSION THAT TWO ALTERNATIVES BE CONSIDERED FOR RESOLUTION FOR LUMBER INN S REQUEST TO USE A PORTION OF THE WELLS STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY SOUTH OF THE EXISTING SIDEWALK, INCLUDING OPTION ONE TO CONVERT A NUMBER OF STALLS TO THE EASTERLY SIDE OF THE BUILDING TO EATING SPACE AND TO REMOVE ALL TABLES, CHAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SOUTH OF THE EXISTING CONCRETE WALKWAY OR OPTION TWO TO PROVIDE PLANS FOR INSTALLATION OF MINIMUM 30 INCH RAISED CURB, WITH REMOVAL OF ON-STREET PARKING, NO SEATING WITHIN TWO FEET OF THE FACE OF THE CURB OR FOUR FEET FROM THE TRAVEL LANE, NO CHAIRS WITHIN TWO FEET OF THE FACE OF THE CURB OR INSIDE THE CONCRETE SIDEWALK AREA. MILLOT SECONDED THE MOTION. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED. a. Discussion and action regarding the KB Real Estate site plan and storm water maintenance agreement for the new warehouse building located at 3655 Kettle Court East. The recommendation of the storm water maintenance agreement to be forwarded to the Common Council. Court noted the location of the proposed building for the Committee as well as a proposed storm water maintenance agreement included in the epacket for this meeting. Engineering comments and concerns had been addressed. Parking was included for future use; however, the site was not using the parking spaces currently. JASHINSKY MOVED TO APPROVE A STORM WATER MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED AT THIS MEETING FOR A NEW WAREHOUSE BUILDING LOCATED AT 3655 KETTLE COURT EAST AND TO RECOMMEND TO THE COMMON COUNCIL THE SAME. VALDE SECONDED THE MOTION. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED. b. Discussion and action regarding request from Common Council for recommendation on adding crosswalks across CTH C at the intersections north of the Bark River Bridge. Discussion ensued regarding the desired addition of a crosswalk north of the current crosswalk near the Post Office along Highway C. Various crosswalk locations north of Exeter Street were discussed as part of past CTH C Committee meetings. There were no paths to cross to on the easterly side of the hill coming south on Highway C. Topography made it difficult to consider placement of another path on the easterly side of the roadway. In order to place a crosswalk at the Oakwood intersection, necessary upgrades were required. Discussion ensued regarding the ability to conceptualize various crosswalk locations in order to better determine a potential cost for future planning. Engineering staff would provide conceptual drawings of potential crosswalk locations at the next Committee meeting.

4 Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Page 3 of 5 CITY OF DELAFIELD PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES DRAFT 6:30 PM c. Discussion and action regarding request from Common Council for recommendation on reducing the speed limit on CTH C from Exeter Street to Oakwood Drive from 35 MPH to 25 MPH. Committee members discussed the varying speeds along Highway C from Exeter Street to Oakwood Drive. If a crosswalk were to be added in this area, speed limits would be reduced as a result. The City did not have jurisdiction of the roadway to set speed limits north of Oakwood Road. A speed study was suggested to provide data on crashes, roadway speeds and rural character of the roadway. More information would be available on this matter at the next Committee meeting. d. Discussion and action to set City policy regarding painted crosswalks and when/where to use traditional parallel lines or high-visibility crosswalk patterns such as a ladder, continental design or diagonal marking. Jashinsky noted Item 4d and 4e would be discussed concurrently. The pedestrian signing and pavement markings information provided in the epacket for this meeting was reviewed. There was no standard used in the City currently. Different types of existing pavement markings used in the City including ladder, continental, diagonal hatching and standard crosswalk markings were noted. Discussion took place regarding how to establish guidelines relative to the type of marking used at different crosswalk locations. Painting costs were reviewed with no significant additional cost noted for high visibility paint. Several examples of areas where high visibility paint might be desired were shared by various Committee members at this time, including the crossing near Wholly Cow!. Certain kinds of crosswalk markings, such as continental markings, might be more effective in certain situations, such as in a mid-block crossing situation or when used to mark a bike path. Continental markings could be added to existing crosswalks at the time of roadway resurfacing. County staff indicated. A shift toward ladder markings was noted by Waukesha County staff at county crosswalks. Existing crosswalk locations and types could be noted on a City map to enhance discussion at a future meeting. VALDE MOVED TO INCORPORATE LADDER MARKINGS IN THE CROSSWALK PAINT DESIGN AT MAIN STREET AND ONEIDA TO ENHANCE VISIBILITY AND UPON RESURFACING THE ROADWAY SHIFT THE CROSSWALK PATTERN MARKINGS TO THE CONTINENTAL PATTERN. MILLOT SECONDED THE MOTION. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED. At the request of Committee members, Jashinsky returned to this item after discussion of item 4c on the agenda. Committee members discussed using high visibility markings on all intersections instead of certain types of intersections throughout the City. JASHINSKY MOVED TO CONVERT ALL CROSSWALK PAVEMENT MARKINGS TO CONTINENTAL THROUGHOUT THE CITY AT THE TIME ROADWAYS WERE RESURFACED. VALDE SECONDED THE MOTION. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED.

5 Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Page 4 of 5 CITY OF DELAFIELD PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES DRAFT 6:30 PM e. Discussion and action regarding request from Jim Stoffer, owner of Wholly Cow! 637 Main Street, to consider painting diagonal lines within the crosswalk across Main Street at the intersection with Oneida Street for better visibility and to address truck rut damage to turf grass between pedestrian ramps at the northwest corner of that intersection. Hafner explained a pole had been erected in the turf grass area near Wholly Cow! located at 637 Main Street to assist in keeping motorists off the area. If there were no complaints received, restoration of the grassy area could take place to address the truck rut damage. BAUMANN MOVED TO TEST THE CARBONITE POST AT THE TURF GRASS LOCATION BETWEEN PEDESTRIAN RAMPS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE ONEIDA STREET INTERSECTION NEAR WHOLLY COW!, 637 MAIN STREET AND IF NO COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED REGARDING THE POST PLACEMENT, RESTORATION OF THE AREA COULD BE COMPLETED WITH RE-ASSESSMENT OF THIS SOLUTION IN THE FUTURE. VALDE SECONDED THE MOTION. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED. Jashinsky returned to Item 4d for additional discussion. f. Discussion requested by Alderperson Valde regarding the City s general philosophy, vision and use plan for pedestrian pathways. What is the overall intent? Where should they be located and why? Should we place them everywhere or should we place them in general locations? Should we protect the natural surroundings (trees and lake)? What surface material should we use in different locations and why? Should we utilize sustainable/green technology when putting down surfaces over which people and objects move? Valde explained she requested this item on the agenda for discussion. It was important to balance the movements of people within the City with the character of existing neighborhoods and protection of the lake. This had been a struggle over many years. Toward resolution of the issue, a study of potential multi-use path locations throughout the City was requested to no avail. Some areas of the City included a concentration of paths such as those within the downtown area. It required discussion, thoughtful planning and public input to provide a balanced pedestrian pathway plan. Portions of 2030 Comprehensive Plan did include information related to pedestrian pathways; however, these sections required updating. Potential pathways would be discussed as part of the review of the 2030 City of Delafield Comprehensive Plan. 5. Reports - Director of Public Works/City Engineer/Traffic Staff a. Director of Public Works. A ribbon cutting ceremony for Highway C project work had taken place on June 3, The turning radius on the median north of Exeter street was not appropriately sized for truck movements. Removal and reconstruction of the median would take place June 19 through June 30, 2017.

20 From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Tom Hafner Barb Rosenthal Susan Johnson; Mike Court; Jashinsky, Dan RE: Price Rd street project Friday, July 14, :01:12 PM Hi Barbara, I misunderstood your initial , I did assume that you were talking about the reconstructed segment of Price Road. We will add this as a specific agenda item but you should expect that the Committee may likely not make a decision at that meeting but may likely instead refer it to Traffic Staff for a recommendation. And the recommendation may likely be to not install No Parking signs until/unless a frequent and consistent problem is observed and documented and support from other neighbors in the area is confirmed. Regarding the notification, the project did go through the standard City Budget process last year, which includes a Public Hearing noticed as required by State Statutes. The Alderman for the district also worked with the property owners immediately adjacent to the project and received their support for the project. The notice immediately prior to construction was supposed to have been delivered on July 5 by the engineering firm that is providing construction management services for the project. They indicate that they did deliver construction notices for the other streets in the City included in the project but that they unfortunately missed Price Road. When this came to my attention yesterday, I instructed them to deliver the notices ASAP. I apologize for this oversight and for the fact that you did not receive notification until after construction started. This should not have happened and it's the first time in the 14 years that I've been with the City that it has happened. Susan and Mike - please be sure to include the following on the 8/2 Public Works Committee Agenda and include this chain in the Committee packet for the meeting: Discussion and possible action regarding a request for the installation of No Parking signs on Price Road. Thanks ~ Tom Thomas J. Hafner, P.E.

Regarding my concerns and request along with our neighbors Brian and Veronica Groubert:

21 1) Traffic and parking along the side of Price Rd has been an issue and has increased with numerous parties and/or construction projects, during the 21 years I have lived at 1901 Price Rd. It has increased over the last several years. Let's start with the fact that we were not notified of the island construction. I brought this to the City's attention and Robert Malzahn, Resident Project Representative for the SEH, Inc. engineering firm was contacted. He brought us the written notification to our home only yesterday, 7/13/17 after I was given his contact information. 2) I would have brought the issue of parking signage up if we had notice prior to the island construction already starting on Price Rd. The 12' road width does not apply to our properties further down the hill west of the island construction. That area of road remains the same width. Again, we have a bus stop on the north side of the road there, and Ridley, Burries, Sylvester, and continuation of Price Rd has intersecting streets or curves at that juncture. Price road also curves around the outside of my property at 1901 and there are reflecter strips and a city sewer pumping station there. Resident parties and work trucks are always parking at the west end of the hill abuting The Grouberts back and my properties. Brian Groubert will present his own concerns at the meeting. 3) Again, no one knows why there are no parking signs in the area that the islands are being placed, on the south side of Price Rd. where there are only 3 driveway residences, and not on the north side. I am asking for no parking signage for the open area of Price Rd. prior to the hill and continued widened area that is west of the last island placement. 4) Regarding excess signage and street sign pollution, I find that a stretch in this small residential area. There are no parking signs,(4 to be exact), on the south side of Price Rd. where the 3 residences are. To cut down costs, 3 of them are where as you addressed, "only going to be 12' of roadage", is excessive. One or two of those signs could be reused and moved to the north side of Price Rd. Certainly that would cut down on expense of new signage. The metal poles on which the No Parking Signs are attached are very rusty and unattractive anyway. 5) I think that the people driving will be less attentive due to avoiding the new islands and looking at the trees then, seeing a no parking sign. 6) Therefore, I have multiple pictures, including of excessive cars parked on Price Rd. I feel that actually looking at the area by my driveway and west of the Price Rd. hill would be more helpful to you. This area is remaining the same. I think our Alderman, Kent Atwell could help you with that. Brian Groubert and I will be happy to fill out No Parking Sign request forms for Price Rd. and present our concerns at the meeting. I think we need someone to really take action on this issue. Citizen comments, I believe from your , will not produce any action Price Rd. has 2 No Parking signs in front of their property. Moving one should be very inexpensive to across the street. Please send me an attachment of any forms we need to fill out for the meeting. You may feel free to contact me via my cell phone at any time.
