<br />5 <br /> <br />MR. TAUGNER: You will lower Minnesota - did I understand <br />that? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: The general design of Minnesota is to try <br />to lower it slightly and tip it toward the south as far as curb <br />elevations, to match it. Any time we have any roadway inter- <br />section such as Western on the south and another one on Marion, those are <br />the only two we have - we would adjust the pavement on Minnesota <br />to generally match the intersection we're coming from, be it Marion <br />or Western. <br /> <br />MR. TAUGNER: Yoy're coming farther south on Minnesota. You <br />were talking about removing 17 trees. We have all the trees on that <br />one side. Are we going to be affected by that? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: On the southwest corner of Western and Minnesota. <br /> <br />REPRESENTATIVE OF SHORT OFFICE: I believe there are no trees <br />near that property that will be removed. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: <br />conclusion of this <br />outside there is a <br />we could put on an <br />at your lot to see <br /> <br />For any of you that are interested, at the <br />hearing, on the wall on the bulletin board <br />strip map which is a much larger scale than what <br />overhead projector, and you might want to look <br />if there's a tree impacted by this. <br /> <br />MR. TAUGNER: I'm in no condition to cut grass on steep banks <br />so we have a problem with that because it's always full of weeds and <br />tall grass. Is there anything that could be put on that besides <br />sod? It's a l65 foot lot and I just can't keep up with it. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: I think we would certainly be willing to meet <br />with you and see - if the project goes through - if we could find a <br />different cover. <br /> <br />MR. TAUGNER: That would be appreciated. <br /> <br />~m. Y~RK NOVAK, 280 Minnesota: My first question has to do <br />with utilities. What happens to the telephone poles? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: We have been in contact with Northern States <br />Power and the telephone company both. Their plan would be to leave <br />the utilities lines in a similar manner. By that I mean, most of <br />the area is served with overhead lines. They would propose, if <br />we have to move a pole, the pole would remain being an overhead <br />service line and they apparently feel they wouldn't have any par- <br />ticular problem of locating it in the right-of-way and providing <br />service to the homes. <br /> <br />~~. NOVAK: Another problem I have is, I'm one of those cases <br />where I have a real steep grade. You stated there weren't going to <br />be any retaining walls replaced. I have a retaining wall that will <br />be taken out and I have talked to the engineer and he said he <br />thinks they can guarantee they can slope that down. I have a <br />(inaudible) six to eight feet. How are they going to grade that <br />
