Arden Hills Council 5 March 14, 1994 Engineer Maurer stated the road would be able to withstand normal traffic which would include garbage trucks and school buses. If any future development would take place in this area, another access would have to be gained to this area. The project as proposed would not be designed for heavy equipment. Steve zilmer. Carol Perkins. 3363 North Dun]ap - He asked what assessment amount was anticipated for his property? Winkel stated he would review his parcel and get back to him at a later date. Kurt Lawrence. 4516 Keithson Drive - He referred to the liability issue of a poorly developed road and who is responsible. He asked what was the anticipated life expectancy of a new street? Maurer noted that it was a drought year when this road was originally constructed. As moisture began to build up as experienced in the past couple of years, the soil began to consolidate causing recompaction of soil. He further noted that due to the number of settlements on this road, it cannot be leveled properly without the recycling, and it would be physically impossible to patch. Jim Cox. 1287 Ingerson Road - Mr. Cox asked what quality control measures would be taken to ensure the safety of children. He noted that since construction would be taking place during the summer months, children would be playing around the heavy construction equipment. He suggested that the project specifications include stringent safety measures. Maurer explained that his engineering firm would oversee the project and that all parties abide by the acceptable standards set by MNDOT to ensure safety. He further explained that a contractor is allowed to phase in the project in an economical manner, therefore there are stages to the construction process. Ron Nelson. 4504 Keithson Drive - He echoed the concerns brought up by Mr. Lawrence. He too expressed the issue of defective workmanship demonstrated by the former contractor, and did not feel the total problem was due to the drought year. Engineer Maurer stated he did not mean to infer that the drought was the reason for the defects in the road. He only suggested this as one possible reason for the deterioration.
