this work, there would be some minor driveway restoration that would not be assessed to anyone in particular; it is simply part of the project, the same as the sod work. There is a little bit of work done adjusting the catch basins so that they will fit the new width where the curbs will be. There are also two trees, I think, involved down near the church that would have to be removed so that they wouldn't be in the way of the alignment and and if I could have the other picture back, this very minor work at the extreme north end where the roadway widens just slightly to allow for safe access in and out of a very heavily traveled roadway. Other than that it would be a road that would be cen- tered in the right-of-way 34 feet wide. The only, the best way to think of it in the mind probably is that it kind of sets the curb and gutter outside the existing pavement. That would be pretty close to what it would be at the ultimate development. There are a few driveways right now that are fairly steep. Those would have to be taken into account in an attempt to not make them any worse. No roadway project Qan solve all of the driveway problems. There are also some driv~ways that actually slope away from the road, likewise that project would try to minimize those problems but can't necessarily eliminate them because the struc- \ ture~ are already there. That same company, if some driveways that are too wide or in the wrong place, will work with those individual property owners to bring those specific projects into performance with out City codes. That is what we have been doing allover the City in our projects. Right now there are approxi- mately 1,300 vehicles a day that use this and with or without the widening it is projected there will be over 2,000 there by the year 2000. Though it is a roadway that is being used by the neighborhood and the roadway, we feel, will continue to be used. What we would like to try and do is bring it into good shape. Let it be in good condition for the neighborhood use in the future. In order to meet these guidelines - if you recall, I said that there was going to be a necessity to meet the state's requirements - requirements are not only the 34 foot width but that it be a nine ton facility that will have a longer life to carry heavier vehicles if necessary. Secondly, that we would have to have no parking on one side. Because of the location of the park and the church on the east side, plus the fact that fire hydrants are on the west side, it is recommended that the parking be prohibited on the west side to allow better access to the fire facilities and also to avoid the people using either the park or the church for parking on the other side of the road who will be a hinderance to those property owners while the people walked across the street to where they really want to go in the first place which is slightly hazardous. One of the nice things about the state aid system is that under the City of Roseville pOlicy in existance today, the City does not assess single family pro- perty that is taxable, anything for the improvement. So that all the work on the catch basins, curbs, etc. would not be assessed to a single family property that pays taxes. Now it does assess property that is tax free. Such as the City park, clear out to Belmont, and the Lutheran Church, which is down near Roselawn. -2-
