ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JANUARY 26, 2015 5 Kirk Soldner, 1923 Noble Road, explained that he has lived in his home since 1987. He believed that Noble Road has had a lack of maintenance. He appreciated the lower asphalt curb as it offered residents easier access to their lots. Robert Johnson, 1902 Noble Road, stated that he has lived in his home since 1989 and lives next to the walking path. He discussed how the water runs down the street to the walking path; then leaves the street and pools in his yard. He requested that this situation be addressed through the street improvement project. Robert Gibson, 1860 Lake Lane, reported that he has been a resident since 1975. He commented that he could support the concrete curb given the fact that the assessment amounts were so close. He encouraged the City to properly maintain the new roadway after it was completed. Steve Scott, 1870 Lake Lane, understood that Grant and Noble were in poor condition. He did not believe that Lake Lane had the same issues. He did not feel it was fair to assess each lot equally when the roadway conditions varied. He then discussed the lack of maintenance on these roadways and recommended that the City create a maintenance schedule for its streets. Mayor Grant requested comment from staff on the City's road maintenance program. Public Works Director Maurer discussed the City's current road maintenance program noting that the current Council has been aggressive in budgeting funds for crack filling and seal coating. He anticipated that the new streets would be seal coated after three to five years and then routine crack filling/seal coating would be completed on a seven to ten year cycle. Amy Fleury, 1936 Grant Road, commented that she lives on a corner property and the asphalt in front of her home is in poor condition. She supported concrete curbs and believed that this would hold up much better long-term. Chad Myers, 3441 Lake Johanna Boulevard, stated that he has lived in his home for the past year and a half. He supported the full reconstruction project with concrete curb and gutter. He believed this would better address the water and drainage concerns in his neighborhood. Paul Spencer, 1863 Lake Lane, supported concrete curb and gutter and wanted Lake Lane to look the same as the other roadways in his neighborhood. Carl Stampfle, 1935 Grant Road, indicated that he has lived in his home since 1975. He reported that he has standing water on the road in front of his home after every rain event. For this reason, he supported a full reconstruction project in order for the grading concerns on the roadway to be properly addressed. Vaughn Morin, 1889 Grant Road, asked if the sanitary sewer lines would be replaced. He commented that he replaced his line from the house to the street in 2011. He stated that he supported a reconstruction project. Public Works Director Maurer reported that sanitary sewer lines, from the main to the house, were the responsibility of the homeowner. He commented that the City was responsible for water
