City Council Minutes Page 6 June 28, 2010 Mr. Bittner stated the width of the road will not change as part of this project. • Matthew Mellenthin, 14148 - 202nd Avenue, requested the city not proceed with the improvements. Gary Juettner, 14120 - 202nd Avenue, requested the city not proceed with the improvements. Keith Quammen, 19823 Ulysses Street, asked how many times an overlay can be done on a road. Mr. Bittner stated the number of times an overlay can be place depends on how much room is available surrounding the street like driveways and landscape areas. Mr. Femrite stated the purpose of an overlay is to extend the life of the road without having to completely replace the road. Rick Kreuser, 232 Elk Hills Drive, thanked Mr. Femrite for his conversations earlier in the week. Mr. Kreuser stated he just wants this project done right. He agreed with the chart that was shown during the PowerPoint presentation showing that proper maintenance done over time extends the life of a road and keeps future assessment costs down. He asked who the construction manager would be for this project. He requested a mill edge at the end of the driveways. Councilmember Motin clarified that this project is different than the Main Street project. • Mr. Bittner stated that Bolten & Menk would be the construction manager for the improvement. Deb Hawkins, 20455 Smith Street, stated that County Road 33 to Twin Lakes Road has received very heavy dump truck traffic hauling fill for the past two years. She noted that this year, the road was changed from a 9 ton axel weight limit to 5 ton. She states the number of dump trucks and their speed was relentless and wonders why they can't use Highway 169, which could support the weight of the trucks. She feels this caused the damage to the road and requests that the road, if improved, be kept at a 5 ton road. Larry Toth, 813 Fawn, stated the three residential developments in this project aren't receiving the same type of work, but the costs are being equally applied to all neighborhoods. Mr. Bittner stated that history and the policy followed by previous projects are treated equally. The volume of work benefits all developments. Ms. Johnson stated the assessments follow a policy that the council adopted in 1988. Councilmember Zerwas stated the notion of an economy of scale could be applied to this situation, noting residents receive a cost break for ordering large volumes of materials and work and spreading out the cost lowers the total assessment. Eric Wolldoch asked why more neighborhoods weren't being done.
