ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 27, 2015 5 <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson anticipated that the proposed roadways would last 40 to 50 <br />years with proper maintenance. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:29 p.m. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson reported that he received one written objection to the <br />proposed project and assessment. The written objection was received from Ed Werner, 1758 <br />Crystal Avenue. <br /> <br />This information was provided to the Council. <br /> <br />Bertil Erickson, 1678 Glenview Court, asked when a detailed construction schedule would be <br />available. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson indicated that a newsletter would be sent to the neighborhood <br />later this week or early next week. <br /> <br />Leslie Croswell, 1622 Glenview Court, questioned if the City would be replacing the curbs in his <br />cul-de-sac when the plows wreck it. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer did not anticipate that this would be a concern. He commented <br />that if any damage to the concrete curb were to occur over time from snow plows, the areas would <br />be repaired by the City. <br /> <br />Debbie Dondlinger, 1761 Gramsie Road, explained that she was appealing the assessment being <br />charged to her property. She explained that her property was assessed in 1997 for work completed <br />on Fairview Avenue. She felt that it was unfair that her corner property was not being offered any <br />relief. She thanked the Council for considering her concerns. <br /> <br />Britt Lundgren, 1777 Gramsie Road, commented that she was appealing her assessment. <br /> <br />Ed Werner, 1758 Crystal Avenue, reported that he submitted a written objection to his <br />assessment. He opposed the $8,614.27 assessment as he was previously assessed for the Fairview <br />Avenue project in 1998. He indicated that some residents were previously assessed for the <br />Fairview Avenue project. He understood that the assessment policy was amended in 2004 which <br />impacted how corner lots would be assessed. He respectfully requested that the Council not <br />reassess the four properties that were assessed under the Fairview Avenue project. <br /> <br />George Rehbein, 1759 Crystal Avenue, agreed with Mr. Werner and opposed paying the full <br />assessment for the 2015 street reconstruction project. He stated that he has lived in his home <br />since 1978. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended that those individuals appealing their assessment submit their <br />objection in writing to staff. <br /> <br />Miriam Ward, 3964 Fairview Avenue North, congratulated the Council for selecting the <br />Venus/Crystal neighborhood for reconstruction as the roadways are in need of repair. She stated
