ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MAY 12, 20148 <br /> <br />Mr. Vaughan <br /> commented that he did not have a clear estimate. He explained that the new road <br />would not add value to the tower on the property. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> reported that the County had this property value estimated at <br />$575,000 with the land value being $478,000. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> closed the public hearing at 7:59 p.m. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> noted for the record that another appeal had been delivered to the City by Adrian <br />Limited Partnership for the parcel adjoining the tower at 1787 Gateway Boulevard. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> questioned what concerns Adrian Limited Partnership had with their <br />assessment. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> indicated that the property owner was questioning the street <br />frontage measurement completed by the City. The property owner believed that the measurement <br />was incorrect as it should be based on street frontage and not right-of-way frontage. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to adopt Resolution #2014-027 Adopting Assessment Roll for the <br />Round Lake Road Area Improvement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> requested further information on the assessment appeal process. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> discussed the assessment objection and appeal process in detail <br />with the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br />asked if those in attendance at the neighborhood meetings supported the <br />proposed project. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> stated that the surrounding properties were not happy to be <br />paying the assessment, but were thrilled that the road would be improved. <br /> <br />The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a <br />motion to adopt Resolution #2014-028 Awarding the Round Lake Road <br />Area Improvement to Meyer Contracting, Inc., in the amount of <br />$1,766,605.41. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> questioned what experience the City had with Meyer Contracting. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> explained that the City had no direct experience but Meyer <br />Contracting was a subcontractor on the project completed by Shafer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Werner <br /> was pleased that the City received eight bids for this project. <br /> <br />
