Good questions. I left my phone conversation with the distinct impression that street improvements were not in the hands of the company, and that city improvements would take that long. I'd like to think that the mayor was either misinformed, or just speaking before he knew the facts, but the agreement you site certainly seems to be specific.
Regardless, it's still just an open field there, so I'm not convinced it's happening at all. |

Minutes (partial) from Feb 14th Plan & Zoning meeting:
R-1, Single Family to S-3, Mixed Use – R. L. Fridley Theatres, Inc., 15.029 Acres – Attorney Charles Coulter – Mulberry Avenue and US Hwy 61 Bypass. Chuck Coulter was present to discuss the request. Coulter indicated that the Preliminary Development Plan is becoming more sophisticated. He indicated that the project will have an impact on traffic and hopefully increase tax revenue. Koehrsen asked if there had been further discussion on the name the developer would like to use for the street – Palms Drive. Boka replied that the developer has the right to propose the street name. City Council can accept or deny the plat. He indicated that there could be a concern with 911 as there is already a Palm Street in Muscatine. Roby, as past Postmaster, didn’t believe there would be a problem with the Post Office. Harvey asked what changes may be made to the roadway. Jon Lutz, City Engineer, stated he has looked at widening road to 43 feet and installing a center turn lane, much like the design of Houser Street. Lutz indicated that there are no designated funds for improvement at this time. He explained that further changes would include filling in the ditches to make Mulberry Avenue more urban. Harvey asked if there was right-of-way available for such improvements. Lutz confirmed there was. |
