<br /> --- <br /> Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 2-10-92 <br /> Page 4 <br /> TILLER (Cont'd) Acting Mayor Malone stated the =ent interest rate is . <br /> 8% and the assessment is spread over 5 to 10 years. <br /> Kahnke also questioned why the project proposes concrete curb and gutter <br /> installation i noted the existing roadways in this area do not have concrete curb <br /> and gutter. <br /> Acting Mayor Malone explained that during discussions of proposed the assessment <br /> manual and reconstruction program Council determined that all new developments <br /> require concrete curb and gutters and it was appropriate to require the <br /> installation of concrete curb and gutters as part of the reconstruction of the <br /> older streets in the City. He noted that during a proposed project in 1991, <br /> residents indicated they would prefer the concrete curb and gutter. <br /> Forest Behr, 1234 Tiller Lane, questioned if the core samples were taken at <br /> different l=ations along the roadway surface. He questioned the purpose of the <br /> concrete curb and gutter installation on Tiller Lane. Behr pointed out that the <br /> economic conditions may have changed substantially since Council detennined. the <br /> standards outlined. in the assessment manual. He commented. that Hamline Avenue is <br /> in much worse condition than Tiller Lane; suggested. the concrete curb and gutter <br /> be deleted from this project and the monies saved be utilized to repair HaInline <br /> Avenue. <br /> Engineer Maurer explained. core samples were taken at various l=ations along <br /> Tiller lane. He reiterated the surface of Tiller Lane will not hold a bituminous <br /> overlay. . <br /> Gary Abrahamson, 1228 carlton Drive, stated. he is the owner of the property <br /> adjacent to Tiller Lane and explained. carlton Drive was overruled. in 1991; <br /> questioned. why his property is listed. as part of this project. <br /> Maurer advised his lot is located. close to the project site and it is <br /> questionable at this t:i1ne if the property will be included. in the project. He <br /> noted. this property will be reviewed. and Council will make a determination <br /> regarding the property assessment at the scheduled assessment hearing. <br /> Wayne Bond, 1326 Tiller Lane, questioned. if core samples were taken when carlton <br /> Drive was overlaid. He stated if the core samples for carlton are comparable to <br /> Tiller Lane, his preference would be to have Tiller overlaid. Bond further <br /> questioned. if there were differences in the core samples taken from the westerly <br /> and easterly portions of Tiller Lane. <br /> Engineer Maurer explained core samples are only taken during reconstruction of <br /> streets, not for bihnninous overlay projects. <br /> Gene Ward, 1242 Tiller Lane, favored. a bituminous overlay of Tiller Lane. <br /> Diana Ettel, 1249 Tiller Lane, expressed concern that the Oak trees bordering her <br /> property may become infected with Oak wilt if the project is completed prior to <br /> July 15. She commented that if there are no plans to install concrete curb and <br /> gutter on adjoining streets over the next few years, the installation of such <br /> materials on Tiller lane would look out of place. . <br /> David Neuberger, 3330 Dunlap street, stated his opposition to installation of <br /> concrete curb and gutter; does not appear it would be suitable for the <br /> neighborhood since the other streets in the area do not have concrete curb and <br /> gutter. He questioned. if bituminous overlay projects are assessed to property <br /> owners . <br />
