. . . . ~ .' MR. GEORGE REILING, 661 Heinel Drive, Roseville: Opposed to any improvement on County Road F mainly because his land is not developed. He would not know where the utilities should <be put in and the street doesn't need to be improved at this time before it's developed. His taxes on County Road F are now ~30,OOO a year and he feels he deserves at least to have the street repaired without paying further taxes. Said he thinks a maintenance job is all that's required. MR. WILLIAM OBERREIT, 4465 Arden View Court: Asked if the state aid funds would be deducted from the assessment figures that had been mentioned or if ,they already had been deducted. Mr. Popovich replied that they had already been deducted. Mr. Oberreit asked. how much of the difference between the total cost and the proposed assessments would be picked up by state aid funds. Mr. Popovich said the total cost per foot of Alternate 1 would be about ~43 and the .assessment is pro.. posed at ~22 so part of that difference would be picked up by state aid funds. Mayor Crepeau asked Mr. Christoffersen what state funds are available for Hamline Avenue. Mr. Christoffersen indicated that the city has available approximately ~215,000 but that is designated for all state aid roads in the city and not necessarily for Hamline Avenue alone. MRS. ATHALIE ROSSOW, 4365 Arden view Court: In favor of the improvement. Asked if the 32 foot width road would allow any room for a bicycle lane. Mr. Christoffersen replied that a bicycle lane could not be built on the street portion, but probably in the boulevard area. MR. DAN GROUT, 1348 Eide Circle: Has a corner lot at Hamline and Eide and his understanding is that the people who own property on Hamline will be the ones who bear the brunt of the cost of the improvement. He uses Hamline for approximately 300 feet from his house to Highway 694 and calculated that his proposed assessment would be about ~4,OOO. He said this doesn't seem fair since the people in the townhouses who use more of the road would only be paying about ~150. Also feels that if all of the improvements go through he won't be able to do anything that he can't do now. Said he would like to see the sidewalks installed. MR. WILLIAM PEDERSEN, 4473 Arden View Court: The surface of Hamline Avenue should be improved because it's an unsafe street. When the townhouse project is complete there may be 5000 cars a day on Hamline and that's a great number of cars on a 24 foot wide street that has swales, bumps, poor ditches, poor shoulders. Further mentioned that the street is extremely difficult to plow in the winter because of the swales and he foresees a serious accident. Said he couldn't speak for the need for storm sewers and sanitary sewers because no one knows what the projected building. plans are for the area. MR. GREG MCNEELY, 1341 Arden View Drive: Thinks Hamline Avenue is an unsafe street: a four-lane road is not necessary: gutters are not necessary: parking on Hamline is not necessary. 4
