I . I {' ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 26 1996 8 Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if curbing will solve the drainage problems on Pascal I A venue. Mr. Stonehouse replied that a portion of it will be contained in Pascal A venue. Councilmember Malone noted that water will still run through other areas. I Mayor Probst invited residents from Eide Circle, McCracken Lane, Pascal Avenue, and Ridgewood Court to address the Cowlcil at this time. I Jenny Michael, 3436 Siems Court, inquired where the water will be drained, as she lives on Lake Johanna. Mayor Probst stated there will be no more water, it will only be directed I differently. Mayor Probst invited residents from Oak A venue to address the Council at this time. I Greg Smith, 1644 Oak Avenue, stated his concerns in a letter addressed to the Council ( attached). I Dwight Warkentin, 1666 Oak Avenue, presented the Council with a petition, signed by all the residents of Oak A venue, not to approve reconstruction of Oak A venue. He noted that a Ie proposed plan was provided to him by Mr. Stonehouse before the meeting, and he felt the cul-de- sac diameter could be kept if portions of the beginning of the cul-de-sac could be altered rather than the larger diameter middle portion. I Doug Vanderheiden, 1655 Oak Avenue, stated he lives on the cul-de-sac and would lose three I mature trees if reconstruction is done. He stated that it is 19 feet to the end of his driveway, not 22 as indicated by the City, and if the street was plowed there would be enough room to accommodate buses and emergency vehicles. I Rachael Rushing, 1666 Oak Avenue, stated she did not want to pay for improvements she does not want, and noted she will have to redo her landscaping. She stated she lmderstands it is in a I public right-of-way, but noted the landscaping was in before they purchased the home. She also noted that her front yard is 47 feet, and if five to seven feet are removed, she will lose 1110 of her front yard. I Janie Hecht, 1620 Oak Avenue, stated she was concerned with access during construction, since Oak A venue is a dead end. She stated she does not wish to pay more property taxes I because the City feels curb and gutters improves property values. Mayor Probst stated, in reference to Mr. Smith's letter, that the issue of Oak A venue's I reconstruction would be revisited, not dropped, if the soil borings showed reconstruction was the best method. f' I
