2. Ellison House Update
Jeff O'Neill provided a brief history of the house and the committee that was tasked with
providing a recommendation on how to proceed with the property. It was recommended
by the committee to list the property for sale. Mr. O'Neill provided the options of selling
the house with restrictions or selling without restrictions. There was minimal discussion
of the council. Restrictions mentioned were standards for rehabilitation and requirement
of being owner occupied for at least first ownership. Mayor Stumpf state that he thinks it
should be sold with restriction. Councilmember Hilgart noted that demolition and
redevelopment should be also recognized as an option.
Councilmember Fair motion to add decision on Ellison house recommendation to
the October 8, 2018 agenda. Councilmember Gabler seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
3. Walnut Street Corridor Plan
Angela Schuman, Community Development Director, introduced Andrew Dredsner,
Cunningham Group, to provide an overview of the Walnut Street Corridor Plan which
can be implemented in phases. Connectivity was a prominent issue addressed in the plan.
There was discussion on elements of a family path, narrowing the road width, a ramp at
the end of River Street leading to the park, and parking. There was some discussion on
the timing of each of these elements and there was a consensus that the ramp and crossing
at Broadway should be a priority. Mayor Stumpf questioned what was included in the
2019 CIP budget. Matt Leonard, City Engineer/Public Works Director, responded that the
plan was to install improvements identified in the corridor plat at Walnut and Broadway
which include the curb -bulb outs at the intersection as well as creating the sitting/eating
space on the north side of Broadway. Additionally, an accessible pathway from
Broadway to River Street along Walnut Street will be installed. This will involve the
removal of a couple of parking stalls. The city will be requesting proposals for
engineering services and potentially bidding in the spring of 2019 for summer of 2019
construction. The council thought it would be beneficial to list the timing of each of the
projects along with associated goals.
