RESOLUTION 94-163 ADOPTED AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AMENDMENT
NO. 1 TO AN AGREEMENT WITH BURNIDGE CASSELL & ASSOCIATES INC.
REOPENING SOUTH GROVE AVENUE/FOUNTAIN SQUARE PLAZA
A lengthy discussion was held regarding the suggestion that the
design proposal for reopening Fountain Square Plaza be amended
to provide for opening that portion of South Grove Avenue
immediately south of Chicago Street so that Grove Avenue would
be open all the way from Highland Avenue to National Street and
to construct the proposed fountain in the triangle area between
South Grove Avenue and Douglas Avenue at Chicago Street. Mayor
VanDeVoorde stated that not opening that portion of Grove Avenue
will hurt the merchants on North Grove between Chicago and
Highland and will also cause motorists to have to make too many
turns.
Councilman Fox made a motion, seconded by Councilman Schock, to
adopt the aforementioned resolution and accept the design
proposal of Burnidge Cassell & Associates, Inc. for reopening
South Grove Avenue with the addition of a designated right -turn
lane off of Chicago Street onto Douglas Avenue. Yeas:
Councilmembers Fox, Popple, and Schock. Nays: Councilmembers
Gilliam, Walters, Yearman, and Mayor VanDeVoorde. Motion lost.
Councilmembers Schock and Fox stressed the importance of
considering the opinion of various consultants who have
recommended the design proposed by Burnidge Cassell, which does.
VOLUME LIX JUNE 8, 1994 273
not include opening that portion of South Grove Avenue
immediately south of Chicago Street.
Peter Simon advised the Council that it appears that functional
completion of the reopening of South Grove Avenue will be
completed by October 15. However, amenities will not be in
place until spring 1995, and it would also probably be difficult
to have the fountain completed this fall. He suggested
installing the water and power this year for the proposed
fountain, include the designated right -turn lane on Douglas
Avenue, wait to see how traffic flows and what the customers
want, and then make a decision next spring on whether to open
that portion of South Grove Avenue immediately south of Chicago
Street and whether or not to install a fountain.
Architect Charles Burnidge stated that they are working on a
very, very tight schedule so that this project can be fast
tracked, and leaving things unsettled would make it very
difficult.
Councilman Gilliam made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Yearman, to completely remove the proposed fountain, including
infrastructure, from the design plan. Yeas: Councilmembers
Gilliam, Yearman, and Mayor VanDeVoorde. Nays: Councilmembers
Fox, Popple, Schock, and Walters. Motion lost.
Councilwoman Popple made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Schock, to adopt the following resolution and proceed with the
drawing that was presented at the May 4, 1994, meeting and to
provide for a right -turn lane on the east side of what may be a
fountain.
Councilman Fox made a motion, seconded by Councilman Gilliam, to
amend the aforesaid motion to provide that the fountain
infrastructure be put in place yet this year but that the
decision as to whether or not to put in a fountain be made next
spring, no later than May 1, 1995. Yeas: Councilmembers Fox,
Gilliam, Popple, Schock, Walters, Yearman, and Mayor
VanDeVoorde. Nays: None. Motion carried.
The vote was then taken on Councilwoman Popple's motion as
amended. Yeas: Councilmembers Fox, Gilliam, Popple, and
Schock. Nays: Councilmembers Walters, Yearman, and Mayor
