<br /> . Arden Hills Council 5 April 12, 1993 <br /> "swap" streets, the streets involved would be brought to a <br /> reasonable condition prior to that action. <br /> Dennis Prchal. 1553 Briarknoll Drive - Even small amounts <br /> of rainfall create drainage problems. Despite repairs, <br /> there is a problem with the catch basins in that they don't <br /> proper! y drain. <br /> Barney Palmer, 1300 Nursery Hill Lane - 1 original 1 y came to <br /> this meeting to oppose this improvement, but I have changed <br /> my mind. The information I received in the mail was very <br /> incomplete and gave a poor explanation of the proposal. <br /> Attending this hearing has clarified some of my questions. <br /> 1 am concerned about the significant number of garbage <br /> trucks and buses that use my street because I believe those <br /> heavy vehicles significantly reduce the life of a street. <br /> Perhaps we could limit the number of garbage vendors or have <br /> buses rerouted to reduce the number of trips they take. <br /> Mayor Sather commented that the School Transportation <br /> Department makes a concerted effort to reduce transportation <br /> . costs and coordinate busing, but there are trips made to and <br /> from several different school locations. <br /> Ralph Larson, 1273 Nursery Hill Lane - Our street has curb <br /> and gutter, but an additional 1-1/2 inch overlay will negate <br /> the effectiveness of the gutter. I am not opposed to the <br /> project, but need assurance that the final pro ject will be <br /> workable, I am familiar with the engineering firm of Maier <br /> Stewart and know they have a good reputation and trust they <br /> will check into all the concerns and do a good job. Can the <br /> low bid accommodate unanticipated situations where minor <br /> repairs, milling, or thicker bituminous will be needed? If <br /> those kinds of repairs are needed, will assessments <br /> increase? <br /> Graham stated that he is aware that attention needs to be <br /> given to many details and several sections of the affected <br /> streets must be individually examined to determine the best <br /> way to proceed. He added that it may be necessary to try to <br /> "mill" portions of existing streets prior to overlaying the <br /> street. With regard to repairs and assessments, Graham <br /> stated that there is room within the bid for minor repairs <br /> as needed. He assured that if change orders are needed to <br /> address such needs, the residents' assessments will not <br /> increase once assessments are levied; however, the city's <br /> share of the project may need to be adjusted. <br /> . <br />
