Councilmember Grant asked for clarification regarding the resident's portion of the project cost. Mr. Brown replied the road construction portion would be approximately $600,000, which half was paid by the City, so the actual assessment cost would be approximately $300,000. Councilmember Grant asked how much landscaping would need to be removed for this project. Mr. Brown replied there would be some clearing and staff would work with the residents to keep the areas that were most significant with trees. He stated the vegetation would be reestablished when the project was completed. Councilmember Grant asked if the cul-de-sac on Lake Lane that went into Ingerson Park could accommodate parking. Mr. Moore stated they had not looked at this option, but he did not believe additional parking was needed at this end of the park. He also noted, they had promised the residents that there would not be any significant changes to the park. Councilmember Holden asked why the cul-de-sac on Lake Lane was a 60' diameter. Mr, Moore replied this would accommodate the City trucks and equipment and a 60' diameter was appropriate for this type of equipment. Mayor Aplikowski opened the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Cindy Michaiak, 1203 Edgewater, stated she was glad the City was allowing parking on Lake Lane. She asked how far the cul-de-sac bulb was from their hack driveway. She stated they used this driveway for additional access to her property. Mr. Moore replied that the cul-de-sac bulb would be to the north of this driveway by approximately 300 feet. This cul-de-sac will not impact her ability to use this secondary driveway. Ms, Michalak asked whom staff was planning to contact regarding the pond area and when such contact would be made. Mr, Brown stated he wanted feedback tonight with the intent to have a revised drawing mailed out, as well as, possibly having one more neighborhood meeting, which would concentrate on the pond and cul-de-sac. He stated he hoped to have this done within the next month.
