Hamline Avenue Council was referred to Councilmember Hansen's memo of 8/15/86, and to Peter's letter of 8/21/86. Peters explained that the property owner wants a level lawn; was originally concerned about the style of retaining wall specified, but is now satisfied with the wall style. Peters explained that the approximate 140 s~f. of wall along Hamline (approximately $1,100) is eligible for MSA funds; the approximate 150 s.f. of wall along the driveway (approximately $1,200) is outside the right-of-way, and not eligible for MSA funds. Mr. Glomski said that, after seeing the stakes in place, he does not see as much need for a wall south of his driveway; can live with a slope there; wants a wall north of his driveway. Glomski noted that he had originally intended to construct about 30' of retaining wall and slope the rest, but a combination of retaining wall and slope would be difficult to maintain. Glomski said he wants the retaining wall from the driveway to his north property line. In discussion, it was noted that the City may receive similar requests from others along Hamline Avenue where properties have been disturbed; some are concerned about tree replacement and other corrective measures. Hansen moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the $1,100 addition to the contract for the retaining wall at 4508 N. Ham1ine Avenue; wall to extend from driveway to north property line. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) . Bid Award - Sealcoatin2 Council was referred to Peter's letter of 8/25/86 and to tabulation of the two bids received for 1986 Bituminous Sealcoating. Hicks moved, seconded by Peck, that Council award the contract to the low bidder, Bituminous Roadways @ $31,747.00. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Combined Impr. No. SS-83-6 and W-86-2 Letter re Northda1e Contract Council was referred to letter from Northdale Construction Co., Inc. (8/18/86) requesting return of their bid bond and their release from their contractual obligations on the sewer/water project.
