ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—October 25, 2010 5 <br /> TA 2011 Pavement Management Program—Feasibility Study (continued) <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated the quantity for curb removal is conservative with the idea that there <br /> would be changes with the cul-de-sacs. If the pavement area is reduced there would be less - <br /> asphalt but this would be offset by the turf restoration that would occur. <br /> Councilmember Holden expressed concerns with making the cul-de-sacs smaller. This would <br /> increase the length of the driveways and may create problems for some residents. <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated this is something that will be looked into in more detail. <br /> Public Works Director Terry Maurer stated he had asked for this change to be included in the <br /> project. If the Council does not want to present this as an option at the public hearing it can be <br /> removed from the project. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the grit chamber was included in the cost estimate. <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated this was included in the cost estimate. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked when the property division for 1225 Amble would take effect. <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated the home on this property has been demolished and the owners have <br /> 180 days to complete the process of replatting this lot. This process should be complete about the <br /> same time as the assessment hearing is scheduled to occur. <br /> Councilmember Grant asked if the Council would be considering a choice of curb for Amble <br /> Road. The residents in this area have expressed that they would prefer to not have a curb <br /> installed. <br /> Mayor Harpstead stated the recommendation of Staff had been to not install a curb on Amble <br /> Road. <br /> Councilmember McClung clarified there would not be a curb installed on Amble Road due to <br /> the analysis by Staff that this would not be required for this road. <br /> Councilmember Holden thanked Matt Woodruff for the well-written feasibility study. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if all the other roads in the proposed project currently have curbs <br /> and gutters. <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated Amble Road was the only road that did not currently have curb and <br /> gutter in the project area. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated in reviewing the three options presented for assessing the multi- <br /> familyltownhome property, Option 1 presented a problem. If all the property in a project area <br /> were multi-family homes and the City only collects 60% of the full assessment amount then the <br /> City would not be collecting enough to cover the full residential amount. The City's assessment <br /> policy does not cover how to assess multi-family property and the City should be careful not to set <br />
