Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council MeetinJ, 6-10-91 Page 3 . HEARING (Cont'd) May= Sather asked f= c:omments fram the floor either in favor of = q:posed to the proposed assessment. Kurt Hallgren, 3700 Chatham circle, requested the assessment rate be established at $2.82 per front foot, the same as the neighborinJ properties on Chatham Avenue. Fred Baude, 3708 Chatham Court, spake on behalf of the residents of Chatham Circle and requested the assessment rate be the same as the neighbors on Chatham Avenue, $2.82 per front foot. Carl Rundquist, 3716 Chatham Court, explained the residents requested inclusion in the project because it aweared to make sense to add beth cul-de-sacs to the project. He noted that clue to the timing of the project, the City advised residents the only method for inclusion in the project would be to sign a petition and request assessment of costs at 100 percent. Rundquist suggested the city apply the assessment policy and treat the residents petition:ing the i1rprovement in the same manner as the residents on Chatham Avenue. May= Sather asked if there were any further comments fram the floor and hearinJ no response, closed the p.lblic hearinJ at 7:55 p.m. . Counci1Jnember Hansen favored including beth streets in the 1991 Pavement Maintenance project. She questioned if the streets should have been included in the initial project, since beth are extensions fram Chatham Avenue. Engineer Graham advised the improvement of streets is based on the "rating" the street received in the 1988 Pavement Management study; the streets rated the worst were scheduled in the project. Public Works SUperintendent Winkel explained that Chatham Avenue was technically scheduled for future improvement, however, it was added to the project schedule this year clue to the fact that additional fun::ls were available and the street ratinJ in the study. '!here was extensive r'Ji="lSsion as to whether or not includinJ beth streets in the project at this time and assessinJ the costs at 50 percent to residents would bring the total project cost over the l:x.1dgeted aJOOUI1t. . Counci1Jnember Malone recalled advisinJ residents that the method to include beth streets in the project was by petition and that the petition must request the costs be as="=rJ. 100 percent to benefitted properties. He stated that there were other streets in the pavement nanagement study which received higher ratings in pavement study and are in worse condition than Chatham Court and Chatham circle; in fairness to those residents it appears to be reasonable to assesS' this project at 100 percent and remain with the City l:x.1dgeted amount. Counci1members Hansen and Mahowald indicated the perception durinJ discussions to include beth streets in the project, upon receipt of the petition, was that the bid quotation would acccmnodate including beth streets and not exceedinJ the l:x.1dgeted figure. Mahowald suggested that the costs would increase if the two streets are delayed to a future project and it makes sense to include the cul-de-sacs with ilI1prcvement of Chatham Avenue. Counci1Jnember Malone recalled specifically advisinJ residents that petition:ing an ilI1provement requires requestinJ the costs be assessed at 100 percent and that Council has the ability to assess in that manner, per the assessment manual.
