GRAHAI~ MG- <br /> SUBJ ECT: STOWE AVENUE INFORMATIONAL MEETING <br /> DATE: JANUARY 31, 1992 <br /> FILE NO: 520-025-10 <br /> The informational meeting to discuss possible Stowe Avenue street <br /> improvements was held from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on January 3D, 1992. Those <br /> present, in addition to the residents on the sign-up sheet, were Mayor <br /> Sather, Councilman Malone, Councilman Hicks, Administrator Berger, Public <br /> Work Supervisor Winkel and myself, <br /> Following an introduction and brief overview of the feasibility study, the <br /> meeting was a question and answer session. The primary questions centered <br /> . on financing on removal and recycling of the existing surface. If Lhe City <br /> pursued removal and recycling on its own through the County, an assessment <br /> rate of $14.94 per linear foot would be levied to recover 100% of the <br /> proj ect cost. If the County completed the project on their own timetable, <br /> which is presently scheduled for 1994, an assessment rate of $7.47 per <br /> linear foot would be levied to recover 50% Qf the project cost. The <br /> scheduled improvements by Ramsey CounLY would be same as what the City could <br /> provide, but at a reduced cost. Questions were asked about the City's <br /> assessment policies and the methods of calculating assessment costs. <br /> Questions were also asked regarding the fact that storm sewer improvements <br /> and construction of curb and gutter is not feasible for a recycling project. <br /> Thes~ improvements would require street construction. <br /> Those in attendance agreed that further discussion amongst the neighbors <br /> regarding assessments was necessary to see if the matter should be pursued <br /> now or wait for the work to reach the top of Ramsey County's project list. <br /> A petition requesting a public hearing be held may be presented to the City <br /> Council, but at this time, no further action by the City Councilor staff is <br /> necessary unless requested by the area residents. <br /> MJG/ ks <br /> . <br /> 1959 SLOAN PLACE, ST, PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 612.774-6021 <br /> 9800 SHELARD PARKWAY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55441 612-546,0432 Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
