Bill Gillies, 1736 Crystal Avenue, questioned the formula for assessing corner lots and noted the catch basin in this area is in need of repair. Engineer Graham reviewed the aSE'E'f'<<ment formula for corner lots and advised the catch basin will be checked to determine if repairs are necessary. Gillies advised that the existing street is at a higher elevation than his yard and requested water be directed away from the yard in conjunction with the :i1nprovement. Graham stated he will review the property and note the request. Brad Ianberg, 1411 Skiles lane, questioned the type of pavement management survey conducted. He advised that there have been substantial problems with the street in front of his home since the installation of the watermain. He suggested the north side of the street may need corrective action prior to installation of the bituminous overlay. Engineer Graham reported that each street improvement was listed separately in the bid specifications to allow for necessary corrective actions that relate only to specific streets. He advised he will note review of the situation on Skiles lane. T P1I1hPrg questioned the prCX'Mllre of the public hearing process, prior to completion of the actual improvements. Engineer Maurer explained the process is somewhat new and utilized by several cities. He suggested the City Attorney could draft a letter to Ianberg further explaining the legality of the procedures. Jan Blomberg, 3508 Glenarden Road, ~ressed concern with storm water drainage and questioned if bituminous driveway aprons will be installed to divert water from her property. Engineer Graham stated he will note the problem at this location and review with the contractor. Robert Rehkamp, 4060 Valentine Court, spoke in favor of the proposed improvement and questioned if drainage improvements will be made in the future. He also agreed the traffic problems need to be reviewed. Rehkamp suggested a neighborhood poll be conducted to review all concerns of residents in this area and determine the need for the proposed inprovement. Engineer Maurer stated the drainage issues have been noted and will be reviewed prior to beginning work on the project. He indicated that the rating process is done on a "block by block" basis and does not allow for improvement of only a portion of the street in any given block. Maurer advised there is sufficient time for his staff to review and discuss the street ilIIprovement with residents in this area and for those residents to petition eouncil for deletion of a street from the proposed project. Jerry Menke, 1404 Skiles lane, agreed with Lemberg that the north of the Skiles lane will need corrective measures prior to installation of the :i1nprovement.
