Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 2-10-92 Page 4 . TILLER (Cont'd) Acting Mayor Malone stated the current interest rate is 8% and the assessment is spread over 5 to 10 years. Kahnke also questioned why the project proposes con=ete =b and gutter installation; noted the existing roadways in this area do not have con=ete =b and gutter. Acting May= Malone explained that during discussions of proposed the assessment manual and reconstruction program Council determined that all new developments require con=ete =b and gutters and it was appropriate to require the installation of con=ete =b and gutters as part of the reconstruction of the older streets in the City. He noted that during a proposed project in 1991, residents indicated they would prefer the con=ete =b and gutter. F=est Behr, 1234 Tiller Lane, questioned if the core samples were taken at different locations along the roadway surface. He questioned the purpose of the con=ete =b and gutter installation on Tiller Lane. Behr pointed out that the economic conditions may have changed substantially since Council determined the standards outlined in the assessment manual. He COI1U1\el1ted that Hamline Avenue is in much worse condition than Tiller Lane; suggested the con=ete =b and gutter be deleted from this project and the monies saved be utilized to repair HaInline Avenue. Engineer Maurer explained c=e samples were taken at various locations along Tiller lane. He reiterated the surface of Tiller Lane will not hold a bitwninous overlay. . Gary Abrahamson, 1228 Carlton Drive, stated he is the owner of the property adjacent to Tiller Lane and explained Carlton Drive was overruled in 1991; questioned why his property is listed as part of this project. Maurer advised his lot is located close to the project site and it is questionable at this time if the property will be included in the project. He noted this property will be reviewed and Council will make a determination regarding the property assessment at the scheduled assessment hearing. Wayne Bond, 1326 Tiller Lane, questioned if core samples were taken when Carlton Drive was overlaid. He stated if the core samples for Carlton are carrparable to Tiller Lane, his preference would be to have Tiller overlaid. Bond further questioned if there were differences in the core samples taken from the westerly and easterly portions of Tiller Lane. Engineer Maurer explained core samples are only taken during reconstruction of streets, not f= bituminous overlay projects. Gene Ward, 1242 Tiller Lane, favored a bituminous overlay of Tiller Lane. , Diana Ettel, 1249 Tiller Lane, expressed concern that the Oak trees bordering her property may become infected with Oak wilt if the project is completed prior to July 15. She commented that if there are no plans to install con=ete =b and gutter on adjoining streets over the next few years, the installation of such materials on Tiller lane would look out of place. David Neuberger, 3330 Dunlap street, stated his opposition to installation of con=ete =b and gutter; does not appear it would be suitable for the neighborhood since the other streets in the area do not have con=ete =b and gutter. He questioned if bituminous overlay projects are assessed to property owners .
