t~J! vi ,v CJ. I 6f~f Extract of Minutes of Meeting of City Council City of Roseville Ramsey County, Minnesota March 10, 1980 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Roseville, Minnesota, was held in the City Hall in said City on Monday, March 10, 1980, at 7:30 o'clock p. m. The following members were present: Mayor Demos and Councilmen Franke, Curley, Kehr and Anderson; and the following were absent: None Also present were James F. Andre, City Manager; Charles Honchell, City Public Works Director; Roger Jensen of Peterson, Bell and Converse, city attorneys; and Peter S. Popovich, city bond consultant. MAYOR DEMOS: The first hearing this evening is that of the Oakcrest project, P-79-19. MR. ANDRE: We have the Certificate of Mailing and the affidavit of publication on file. MAYOR DEMOS: Mr. Honchell. MR. HONCHELL: This project is a result of a petition from the property owners along this roadway, and it requested that the existing two blocks of Oakcrest between Cohansey and Western be brought up to the city standard. What that city standard is, is a 32 foot wide, 7-ton design residential style street with concrete curb and gutter. In this case, since the area is fully developed, that curb and gutter would be what most people think of as the straight-up-and-down curb rather than the mountable type. There are storm sewers in the area, and these would merely have to be adjusted. It was found during the design investigation that the extremely steep grades that exist on this roadway, both in the eastern and western end of the project, present some unusual problems - namely, one is trying to stop at Cohansey with 9% plus grades in slippery weather (inaudible) and we are con- cerned with the existing grade between Irene and Western and that the site distances are below minimum at this point, and if there is a child riding a bike or running across the street, that an accident could occur. So as we did the feasibility study we assumed that we would improve both of those situations slightly so that they would at least be meeting the minimum site distances here and providing some short stopping distances, although not ideal, better than they are today.
