an educational aspect as to how this system functioned and the importance of that <br /> function beyond that of a standard type of road construction. <br /> At the request of Chair Stenlund, Mr. Freihammer clarified that the drainage from the <br /> railroad abutment was not close to the private homes; with the homes located to the north <br /> with short or no driveways. Mr. Freihammer noted that the south side of the road was <br /> railroad right-of-way and sits higher than the road with a short-steep bank; and only <br /> approximately 15' between the rails and road. Mr. Freihammer advised that this project <br /> would only make improvements where the easement is, but no further into the railroad <br /> right-of-way, which was in very close proximity. <br /> Since this is a low-volume road, Chair Stenlund asked staff if there was any concern with <br /> not having a curb constraint to support holding in the pavers to avoid their spreading over <br /> time. <br /> Mr. Freihammer reiterated that the construction of the pavers en-mass as a block and tied <br /> together should not result in any vertical displacement. <br /> Mr. Culver advised that staff anticipated this item on the March 28, 2016 City Council <br /> agenda requesting authorization to order a feasibility study. If approved, Mr. Culver <br /> advised that a more detailed analysis and preliminary design would be completed for <br /> subsequent City Council review and approval. At that point, and upon approval, staff <br /> would order a preliminary project hearing, seek City Council authorization to proceed, <br /> and after completion, a final assessment hearing would be held for affected property <br /> owners based on the actual construction costs; at which point the assessments would be <br /> levied accordingly. <br /> At the request of Member Seigler, Mr. Culver confirmed that the residents had asked for <br /> this, that the gravel road needed improvement, and noted that staff had been working with <br /> them on a resolution for several years as Mr. Freihammer had mentioned. <br /> Motion <br /> Member Cihacek moved, Member Thurnau seconded, recommending to the City <br /> Council to proceed with a feasibility study for the South Lake Owasso Private Drive <br /> Storm Sewer Improvements as presented by staff. <br /> Ayes: 7 <br /> Nays: 0 <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 6. Review of Tour <br /> In part as recognition of Chair Stenlund's last meeting with the group, Mr. Culver <br /> thanked him for his six years of service on the PWETC, and the last few as its <br /> Chairperson. Mr. Culver noted the appreciation of the community and staff of <br /> Member Stenlund and his valuable and vocal service as a member of the PWETC, <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
