<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 8,1999 <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />from the standards without the City Council having agreed on the rationale behind the suggested <br />street widths. He felt that this issue could be discussed at the public meeting, however, he would <br />be hesitant to prescnt an official docwnent stating deviated standards. <br /> <br />Mr. Post noted that thc assessment policy required the City Council to adopt a benefit rate based <br />upon a 32-foot residential street. Varying the street width could result in a variance of the <br />benefit. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malonc stated that a proposed assessment rate that would go up $10.00 per foot <br />was too high. He expressed concern for abandoning the portion of Hamline Avenue. Although <br />the road was in bad shape, he did not believe that the residents would support this option. <br /> <br />With regard to the proposed road widths, Councilmember Aplikowski noted that the City had <br />previously constructed a 24-foot roadway and the City had felt that this had been a mistake. She <br />did not feel that it would be acceptable to set a 24-foot short road standard and she was hesitant <br />to put this suggestion on paper. She noted that some cities now consider a 28-foot width to be a <br />standard roadway when the standard width had been 32 feet. She indicated that the road she <br />works on had been changed from 32 feet to 28 feet and, although the road does function, she <br />misses the extra four feet. Shc noted, however, that a new road width may be easier to accept if <br />it were to bring the assessment total down. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski expressed conccrn for the scope of the work. She agreed that it <br />would make sense to attempt the reconstruction of an entire neighborhood at one time. However, <br />she was not sure the City could afford the entire project. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that he too was concerned for tile scope of the project and felt that there <br />would have to be some way to make the nwnbers work. He suggested that one option may be to <br />cut the project in half over the next couple of years. TIle ditliculty with the storm drainage was <br />that the first half would be heavily front end loaded since the downstream portion must be built <br />first. He was not sure there would be a logical way to split thc project. Councilmember Malone <br />suggested the possibility of performing the utility work one ycar and the road reconstruction the <br />next. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked what the City received annually from the State Aid fund. Mr. Brown stated <br />that the City received $200,000 annually. Mayor Probst asked what other projects were coming <br />up for the City. Mr. Post stated that the Round Lake Road, Phase II project was the next project. <br />Mayor Probst asked how much State Aid the City would be eligible to borrow. Mr. Post stated <br />that the maximum was $500,000. Mr. Brown noted that this would depend upon how much was <br />available in the State Aid budget. <br /> <br />With regard to the abandonment of a portion of Hamline A vcnue, Councilmember Aplikowski <br />agreed that thc residents that currently utilize this section of roadway would not be pleased with <br />this option. However, they would most likely get used to the new traffic pattern. She would be <br />in favor ofthe abandonment if the cost benefit was greater than the convenience benefit. <br /> <br />. <br />
