<br />. <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />June 29, 1 992 <br /> <br />Mr. Podlasek said he has spoken with contractors as to how <br />best to address the driveway problem and has been told that <br />in order to create a constant gradual slope from the garage <br />slab to the road, fill will need to be excavated. He added <br />that if he was satisfied with the driveway/road connection, <br />he could simply repair the old bituminous, but now, because <br />fill needs to be excavated, he will have to remove the old <br />bituminous, and will install a concrete driveway. Mr. <br />Podlasek stated that he only expects the City to share costs <br />for the removal of the fill, not the cost of new concrete or <br />old bituminous removal. <br /> <br />Mr. podlasek asked if the City authorizes the City Engineer <br />to destroy private property and then expect residents to <br />accept that. Mayor Sather reminded Mr. Podlasek that the <br />Engineer offered the 40' driveway cut and asked why that was <br />not acceptable before the project was done. Mr. Podlasek <br />said that the 40' idea would not address the need for <br />landscaping the yard alongside the driveway. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Podlasek said the problem was created by removing fill <br />from the roadbed which lowered the elevation of the road. <br />Engineer Graham said he did not believe that significant <br />fill was removed from the road. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks commented that he was troubled that Mr. <br />Podlasek did not accept the 40' driveway cut idea <br />originally, as it would have been easier and cheaper to have <br />done that as part of the project rather than trying to <br />satisfy Mr. Podlasek now. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks asked if Graham could calculate the <br />amount of fill which needs to be excavated from Mr. <br />Podlasek's driveway to meet the grade that Mr. Podlasek <br />wants. Graham said he could calculate that amount. Hicks <br />added that excavation would need to accommodate the base <br />layer and concrete to be laid on the driveway, which would <br />amount to about six inches. Mr. Podlasek agreed. <br /> <br />MOT ION: <br /> <br />Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, to direct the City <br />Engineer to calculate and report to Council the cost to <br />excavate Mr. Podlasek's driveway to 6" below a constant <br />gradual slope from the garage slab to the driveway <br />apron. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CHARITABLE GAMBLING REGULATION~ <br />REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />Temporary Accountant Post reported that as directed by <br />Council on .June 15, he reviewed charitable gambling <br />regulations, talked with the City Attorney, and recommends: <br />Mandating 100% compliance with the present 10% net <br />
