Public Hearing
Notice of Petition
Notice is given that Theodore Roo-
sevelt Medora Foundation has filed a
petition with the Medora City Auditor to
vacate a street between 6th Street and
Broadway. The petition is available for
public inspection and the City Council
will conduct a public hearing on said pe-
tition at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, May 14,
2018 at the Medora Community Center
in the Roosevelt Room.
Dated this 6th of April, 2018
Carla Steffen
City Auditor
Medora, North Dakota
(April 12, April 19, April 26, May 3)
Randy Hatzenbuhler, TRMF, opened
by explaining the proposed project and
read prepared questions and responses
related to input he had received. Some
of the items included:
-the project is to provide a number
of attractions to make Medora more at-
tractive to families.
-6th Street would be closed off and
have a cul-de-sac at the end for turning
around, the connection between 6th St
and Broadway would be closed.
-in response to Fire Chief concerns
the cul-de-sac will be large enough to
turn around a fire truck, and there will
be an alternate emergency exit via a 14'
wide walking path for smaller vehicles
(such as ambulances).
-the number one concern is public
safety, particularly related to children
crossing the street.
-signage would be added to assure
drivers are aware that it is not a through
street, etc.
-TRMF will work with the Car Show
people on a new location. Open Discussion
-Public safety is the number one
concern of everyone. This includes:
pedestrians safely crossing the street,
emergency vehicle routing and access
to Pacific, impact of a cul-de-sac on the
ability of some vehicles to turn around,
residents not being able to turn left onto
Pacific safely from other streets when it
is busy, increased parking problems,
etc.
-Parking in the area is a big concern
as it is a problem now and it is expected
there would be more additional vehicles
looking to park than parking spaces
being added. It was suggested that the
lot behind the MCC should be looked at
for upgrading to provide more parking
spaces.
-Access to and from town is a major
GOLDEN
TOWNSHIP/CITY DATE
concern as the current route is heavily
used to get on Pacific (particularly in the
summer) and it is often the most direct
route for emergency vehicles.
-Generally agreed that adding more
family activities is good for Medora but
the location is a concern for the public.
Suggestions were made that alternate
locations, including west of the river be
looked at. Randy commented that their
history and guest surveys show that lo-
cations west of the river don't work well
due to concerns about walking across
the bridge, needing to drive, less con-
venient, etc.
-Stacey Swanson, Tax and Zoning
Director for Billings County, presented
maps and written comments, and made
verbal comments. Her main points in-
cluded: the street as configured is a
long-standing route, closing the con-
nector will impact the response time for
emergencies, the proposed change will
negatively impact public safety and
property values, and careful considera-
tion needs to be made to ensure that
the decision is in the public's best long
term interest.
-Police Chief Russ Lapp indicated
that he has discussed concerns about
emergency services impacts several
times with Randy.
-Sandra Kuntz and Mike Njos com-
ments included: if the decision is made
to move forward a development plan,
easements, and various other plans
would be required, and there is a City
Ordinance that will be followed.
-Sandra Kuntz challenged everyone
to be creative in looking at possible ap-
proaches.
-How can we improve Public Safety,
and traffic flow now? Look at stop
signs, other?
-Randy commented that he doesn't
believe the street needs to. be closed to
put in a zip line but this will be evalu-
ated. He stated that adding a barrier to
prevent pedestrian crossing and adding
a pedestrian bridge may be an alternate
approach to closing the street.
-Randy thanked everyone for their
input and indicated that all input will be
considered.
Sandra Kuntz commented that the
City Council will take the input under ad-
visement and the request will be ad-
dressed at the next City Council
Meeting on June 5 to determine if it will
move forward or not.
Hearing no more comments, Meet-
ing was adjourned by Todd Corneil at
