Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, March 18, 2019 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Councilmember Laliberte stated during this winter season, she saw a lot of unsafe <br /> conditions for pedestrians, noting the design standards in place is to build forward <br /> with parking in the rear and those kinds of things. But where the new building is, <br /> the Domino's and laundry, she saw a lot of scary things this winter. She thought <br /> safety has got to be considered as well. <br /> Councilmember Willmus thought building forward was in the design standards <br /> and maybe something the Council wants to look at and tweak, but this is the rea- <br /> son why the decision was to go that way in order to get rid of the sea of asphalt. <br /> He thought this may a future conversation. <br /> Mayor Roe thought the building forward has a calming effect as well, noting there <br /> are pluses and minuses with that. <br /> Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one coming for- <br /> ward. <br /> Mayor Roe thanked Ms. O'Brien for the presentation and noted the first interim <br /> alliance meeting will be Monday, March 25, 2019. <br /> b.
