Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 29,2018 Page 11 Ron Grajczyk, Met Council representative, stated the Met Council takes into ac- count the depth of the pipe. There is a lot of math done to be sure it is done properly. There are a number of techniques and processes that the contractor has done before. Where they have the opportunity to assess a site, they may use an electric pump (which use a generator) versus a gas-powered pump. It is also rec- ommended that the contractor uses sound walls and dividers to help diffuse the noise. Councilmember Laliberte asked about the communication process with the City, as the contractor is making decisions. Mr. Grajczyk noted there is an extensive communication in place, to make sure information is given to all area residents. The staff is also happy to meet with res- idents themselves and walk the site with them. Mayor Roe reviewed protocol for the purpose of receiving public input on the above-referenced noise ordinance; and opened the public hearing at approximate- ly 7:40 p.m. Public Comment Written comments via mail dated January 4 and January 23, 2018 respectively were received from Angie Garcia on her behalf as well as from Nancy Garcia, 2988 Troseth Road, both with concerns about the noise variance. Melissa Schumacher,3071 Avon Street Ms. Schumacher commented there is a lot of vagueness in the information the res- idents received, specifically about the impact to the driveways and the length of the project. She also noted that the Met Council's brochure arrived in the mail on January 22nd, which was the date of the previously scheduled Council meeting. She indicated that is not adequate communication, and Roseville residents deserve more. Mayor Roe closed the public hearing at approximately 7:43 p.m., with no one else appearing for or against. Council Discussion Mr. Grajczyk noted the information sent to the residents displays an overexagger- ated temporary conveyance line so that residents can clearly delineate what is the pipe versus what is the line in the street. The design information means the tem- porary conveyance lines will have an 18-inch-diameter pipe. The intention is to make sure the residents will always be able to get into their driveways. There may be intermittent times during the middle of the day where they may not be able to access it,but the residents will always be able to get to their home.
