<br />REGULAR MEETING L MAY 10, 1976
<br />REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED
<br />Council Member Miller indicated he thought the extension of Twyckenham would greatly
<br />relieve the Traffic on White Oak. He asked Mr. Wells the general policy for obtaining
<br />a traffic signal. Mr. Wells indicated traffic signals were very difficult to obtain
<br />from the state highway department.
<br />Council Member Horvath said that the Area Plan had indicated South Bend Avenue could
<br />Widened to four lanes, and he wondered if any right -of -way had been acquired. Mr.
<br />Wells indicated that it had not, and he said this was given consideration four years
<br />ago.
<br />Council Member Adams indicated she had been trying to get some relief for people in the
<br />Wooded Estates, and she was wondering if the hotel will have a detrimental effect to
<br />the area. Mr. Wells said that any type of commercial development is required to main-
<br />tain their own water retention on their property.
<br />Council Member Kopczynski indicated that the hotel was being built to service the fun-
<br />ctions at Notre Dame, and this might actually alleviate some traffic in the area.
<br />Council Member Serge said they had gone through this once before, and he wondered if a
<br />hotel was really going to be built at that location. Mr. Pietzak said that a Hilton
<br />franchise had been obtained, and the total project would cost over $5,000,000.
<br />Council Member Taylor indicated it was not fair to ask people to have a lag on the
<br />traffic situation that will be extremely hazardous. He said that living shrubs as a
<br />fence are extremely attractive but they do not do the job as far as containing any
<br />blowing garbage and trash. Mr. Pietzak said they were talking about a Hilton, and
<br />he was sure no one would stay there if it was not first class.
<br />Council President Parent said he did not doubt the facility was going to be a classy
<br />hotel, however, he would like to have further information; such as, the location of
<br />the pool, the lounge, the restaurant. He said he had not been a site plan. He said
<br />he thought the Council should have more information concerning the traffic situation,
<br />and the screening. He said he would be in favor of delaying action on this for at
<br />least two weeks.
<br />Council Member Taylor said he was in favor of the project, and he did not want to mis-
<br />lead area residents, however, he was in favor of a two week delay to get some loose
<br />ends tied up. Council Member Taylor made a motion to continue the public hearing and
<br />second reading until the next regularly scheduled Council meeting, May 24, 1976, seconq
<br />ed by Council Member Adams. The motion passed on a roll call vote of five ayes (Counci.
<br />Members Serge, Taylor, Adams, Horvath and Parent) and three nays (Council Members j
<br />Szymkowiak, Miller and Kopczynski).
<br />RESOLUTIONS
<br />Council President Parent asked if there was any objection from the Council if they
<br />would have one hearing on 9A and 9B. There was no objection.
