I ,ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 26. 1995 12 reconstruction, constructing a street that would last for 25 years, instead of an overlay that would last maybe three years. Mr. Jacobs indicated he is looking at value. Mr. Stonehouse indicated last year the cost was $29.50 per lineal foot, now the cost is $32 per lineal foot, but the quality of the road is much higher and will last much longer. Mr. Bob Porter, 1128 Benton Way, felt there are still outstanding issues regarding the Hunters Park Homeowners Association, Mayor Probst indicated the Council could authorize the assessment and hold additional informational meetings regarding the details or the Council could delay moving forward. Mr. Porter indicated he could not speak for the Association, but he would like to delay the assessments, but not the construction of the improvements. He indicated there are issues to be addressed regarding capital improvements and the Homeowners Association. Mr. Porter also felt there were outstanding issues regarding notification of all the properties within the Hunters Park Association. He felt an informational meeting for those residents would be beneficial, Ms. Alana Pixler, for Nancy Levine, 1926, Stowe Avenue, inquired as to how much property will be lost with the improvements. Mr, Stonehouse indicated the street will be constructed within the current street, there could be minimal disturbance by the City contractor of six inches on each side of the street. Ms. Pixler inquired if there will be notification, should the property owners need to remove sprinkler systems, or if landscaping will be disturbed. Mr. Stonehouse indicated if the sprinkler system is within the right of way, the residents will be notified that it is their responsibility to relocate, but if the sprinkler system is within the property line there should be no concern, because the improvements do not extend that far. Mr. Stonehouse noted if property is disturbed, it will be resodded or repaired. Ms. Pixler asked about the appeal process. Mr. Filla indicated a written objection would need to be filed by the property owner before the close of the Public Hearing and then the owner would have 30 days to file in District Court. Ms. Pixler inquired if she could make that request on her mother's behalf, since she was unable to attend the meeting. Mr. Filla indicated it must be the property owner.
