I ARDRN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH-13. 1995 5 Mr. Stonehouse was not certain, but he believed it was funding for Stowe Avenue between New Brighton Road and Lake Johanna Boulevard. Councilmember Keirn asked Mr. Stonehouse why the street was ouly 32 feet across when Municipal State Aid recommended 38 feet across. She also asked if the street would still be eligible for state aid funds at that width. Mr. Stonehouse stated that parking required the further width. Since this area will only have parking on one side, it will only require 32 feet. He indicated it will still be eligible for state aid funding. Councilmember Hicks inquired why Lametti Lane was requiring overlay and Lametti Circle was only in need of seal coating, as they were built at the same time. Mr. Stonehouse indicated that a cul-de-sac is more difficult to pave than a straight roadway and deteriorates faster. Councilmember Malone inquired as to the landscape island on Shorewood Drive. He stated it was difficult to turn in that area due to the island. Mr. Stonehouse indicated there were several trees in the island and the island would remain intact. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to approve Resolution 95-20, Receiving the Feasibility Report and ordering a Public Informational Meeting Scheduled for April 3, 1995 and a Public Hearing Scheduled for April 10, 1995 on the Improvement in the Matter of the Street Maintenance Improvement of 1995.
