<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL -JULY 31, 2006 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />to this driveway topic. She stated in discussions with the contract engineers, in this particular case <br />there was concern because thc existing driveway already had a small amount of grade and there <br />was concern about constructing this driveway in bituminous. They indicated that concrete might <br />be a better solution because of the grade issucs and that was what was proposed. She stated the <br />resident preferred bituminous and the City then put in bituminous. She indicated last spring there <br />was concern from the resident with standing water and now this spring the holes appeared and at <br />that time this was brought to Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Lanasa stated they were told the driveway could be concrete or asphalt and they chose <br />asphalt. He stated it was never discussed with them that they should do concrete instead of <br />asphalt. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated normally staff would not have given him the option and would <br />have just replaced it with what was already there. Ms. Giga responded that was correct. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked ifhe was now willing to accept concrete. Mr. Lanasa responded <br />if that was what it took to have the driveway function properly, he would accept concrete. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson statcd he was comfortable having the driveway replaced with concrete <br />and doing it in a way that would solve the drainage problem. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pellegrin asked how concrete would address the assessment that there were still <br />problems with the apron base. Ms. Giga responded they would ensure the base was properly <br />compacted before putting in the new surface. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski requested Mr. Lanasa sign an agreement that the driveway would be regular <br />white concrete. Ms. Giga noted if they were replacing the entire driveway with concrete, it would <br />increase the costs significantly. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden responded the entire driveway would need to be replaced because a <br />haWhalf driveway was not acceptable. She asked staff to look into the sewer line again so ifthis <br />was the cause of the problem, the problem would be addresscd now. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Pellegrin seconded a <br />motion to replace the driveway and garage apron at 3153 Shoreline Lane <br />with concrete, and corrcct thc drainage of the driveway. The motion carried <br />unanimously (4-0). <br />
