. . . . . -Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, May 8, 1989 Page 2 BID (Cont'd) The Engineer stated a public hearing is required if the project costs are assessed and it was previously set for May 8; he explained the reason for delay of the hearing and that the delay would not adversely affect the residents or the project. He recommended the hearing be rescheduled for Tuesday, May 30, 1989, and that Council award the contract, but delay sending the "notice to proceed" to the contractor until after the hearing. Peters noted the contractor would have sufficient time to prepare for the improvement prior to the hearing and will be ready to begin the project May 31. He stated the project completion date may be delayed one week. Council concurred to direct the Engineer to hold the "notice to proceed" until after the public hearing on this project. Michael Daub, Attorney for the Ahlbergs, questioned if the residents in the area had been previously assessed for a storm sewer improvement. Daub indicated a petition is being drafted in protest of the assessment by residents in this area. He suggested Council reconsider assessing the residents due to the fact the bid awarded was lower than the Engineers estimate. He asked Council to consider Ahlbergs assuming the costs for repair of their driveway as satisfactory contribution toward improvement. Clerk Administrator Berger advised the residents have not previously been assessed for storm sewer improvement. Growe moved, seconded by Mahowald, that Council adopt Resolution No. 89-24, Accepting Bids And Awarding Contract For Storm Sewer Utilities To Serve 1680 Oak Avenue And Adjacent Areas (Improvement No. ST-89-02). Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS RES. #89-25; BIKE TRAIL, HAZELNUT PK. Council was referred to Park Director Buckley's report dated 5-3-89, relative to the Hazelnut Park trail improvement. Clerk Administrator Berger advised $25,000.00 was budgeted in 1989 for improvement of the pedestrian pathways. He stated Engineer Peters estimates the project cost at approximately $20,000.00 and Council authorization is necessary to direct Peters to prepare plans and specifications for the pathway project, schedule the bid opening and advertise in the local paper and construction Bulletin. He outlined the two options proposed in the 5-3-89 report. Peters stated there is a third option available which would follow the schedule outlined in Option I and includes Council approval of plans and specifications on May 30. Councilmember Hansen recommended the Engineer make a strong attempt to deter motor bikes from using the paved pathway. Peters stated it would be difficult to keep the motorized bikes off the pathway, however, he will attempt to slow them down. Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, that Council adopt Resolution #89-25, Ordering Preparation of Plans And Specifications for Improving Hazelnut Park Bike Path, authorize the Engineer to advertise for bids for the project and schedule the bid opening for May 30, 1989. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) CASE #89-04; SUP, KENNEDY TRANS., 3751 LEXINGTON AVE., C.G. REIN Council was referred to the Planner's report dated 5-3-89, relative to the application for a Special Use Permit for Kennedy Transmission, 3751 No. Lexington Avenue, C.G. Rein Company. Planner Bergly explained that when the SUP for Burger King and Goodyear Service Center was approved there was an unspecified retail area designated on the plan and the applicant is proposing to reduce the size the retail area to locate a Kennedy Transmission Service Center in the rear portion of the Goodyear building. He stated a portion of the space will remain as undesignated retail space. The transmission center requires a special use permit.
