DISCUSSION OF ADDITIONAL ISSUES IN REPORT Preliminary Report Design Parameters Section III (b) Third line of the bold face type: “The pedway should connect to the Hinkson Creek Trail…..” Vicky Riback-Wilson suggests language that projects “alternative means should be explored” . The Wordsmithing committee will work on this language. Vicky Riback-Wilson asked for clarification on a previous City of Columbia, Missouri Page 1 Printed on 7/1/2016 Rock Quarry Road Scenic Roadway Meeting Minutes March 9, 2016 Stakeholder Advisory Group Neighborhood Collector discussion. Ms. Hoppe explains the committee could make a recommendation that CATSO adopt a Scenic Road Category. In the alternative if CATSO will not adopt the Scenic Road Category then reclassify Scenic Rock Quarry Road as a Neighborhood Collector street. The committee discussed preliminary report section 4 - Enforcement. Community Development would typically have responsibility for enforcing certain ordinances. The Scenic Rock Quarry Road Advisory Group can make recommendations on penalties associated with ordinance violations. Anthony Stanton suggests Neighborhood Plans will have teeth for enforcement. A specific document, one document, should be included in the consolidated neighborhood plan which outlines the SRQR ordinance. The SRQR could make a recommendation that existing documents, overlays and special area plan be used to create a neighborhood plan for Rock Quarry Road. This recommendation is to make enforcement more likely. Vicky Riback-Wilson has concerns about maintaining and replanting along Scenic Rock Quarry Road. Vicky suggests a section in the report that addresses planting and enhancement along Scenic Rock Quarry Road. Bev suggests a section in the report which addresses funding for planting and enhancement along Scenic Rock Quarry Road. The Wordsmithing group will work on these suggestions. Anthony Stanton would like to work on maintenance concerns (in the preliminary report) in conjunction with Public Works as point of contact. Anthony also reiterates the need to create a natural resources inventory. Key landmarks and natural resources need to be identified on a map and included graphically in the final report. Additional discussion followed about how to identify and inventory natural resources. The SRQR Advisory Group is looking for a catalog of features along the road. Julie Youmans reminds the committee of the importance of Opacity as a goal sought by this City of Columbia, Missouri Page 2 Printed on 7/1/2016 Rock Quarry Road Scenic Roadway Meeting Minutes March 9, 2016 Stakeholder Advisory Group group.
