<br /> Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 2-10-92 <br /> Page 4 <br /> TILLER (Cont'd) Acting Mayor Malone stated the cu=ent interest rate is . <br /> 8% and the assessment is spread over 5 to 10 years. <br /> Kahnke also questioned why the project proposes =ncrete =b and gutter <br /> installation; noted the existing roadways in this area do not have concrete =b <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 =b and gutters and it was appropriate to require the <br /> installation of concrete =b 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 =b and gutter. <br /> Forest Behr, 1234 Tiller lane, questioned if the core samples were taken at <br /> different locations along the roadway surface. He questioned the purpose of the <br /> concrete =b and gutter installation on Tiller lane. Behr pointed out that the <br /> econcnnic conditions nay have changed substantially since Council determined the <br /> standards outlined in the assessment manual. He ccnnmented that Hamline Avenue is <br /> in much worse =ndition than Tiller lane; suggested the =ncrete =b and gutter <br /> be deleted frcnn this project and the monies saved be utilized to repair Hamline <br /> Avenue. <br /> Engineer Maurer explained core samples were taken at various locations 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 time 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 =nparable 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 frcnn 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 bituminous 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 nay beccnne infected with Oak wilt if the project is completed prior to <br /> July 15. She connnented that if there are no plans to install =ncrete =b and <br /> gutter on adjoining streets over the next few years, the installation of such <br /> naterials on Tiller lane would look out of place. . <br /> David Neuberger, 3330 Dlmlap street, stated his opposition to installation of <br /> concrete =b and gutter; does not appear it would be suitable for the <br /> neighborhood since the other streets in the area do not have concrete =b and <br /> gutter. He questioned if bituminous overlay projects are assessed to property <br /> owners . <br />
