ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 2 <br /> Mayor Grant understood that Mr. Wenzel had a list of concerns at his property. He reported that <br /> he was interested in meeting Mr. Wenzel's needs at this time. He requested comment from staff <br /> regarding the property at 1931 Noble Road. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer discussed the status of the property at 1931 Noble Road. He <br /> explained he met with Mr. Wenzel after the last City Council meeting and did not feel it was <br /> necessary to bring the project superintendent. He recalled that there were three issues of concern, <br /> with the first being the small area of bituminous base that is rutted near the stop sign. He <br /> explained that the pavement had been marked and would be corrected before the final lift was <br /> placed on the roadway. He reported that the invisible fencing issue had been resolved by the time <br /> he visited the property as the contractor had told Mr. Wenzel to have it repaired and the contractor <br /> (Valley Paving) would pay the bill. There was one area of concern still on the property which is <br /> turf issues. He indicated that Assistant City Engineer Anderson met with Mr. Wenzel and <br /> reported that when the turf contractor was onsite he would meet with Mr. Wenzel to address the <br /> grading and soil concerns. <br /> Mr. Wenzel discussed the number of his neighbors that have concerns with the street <br /> improvement project. He did not believe that the base was prepared correctly which has caused <br /> cracks to form already in the roadway surface. He did not want to see a patch simply put over the <br /> cracking at the stop sign, but rather wanted the subsurface issues to be addressed. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer explained that the area needing repair near the stop sign would <br /> be dug up, the base would be addressed and a patch would be placed over the surface prior to the <br /> wear course being put in place. <br /> 3.
