I Informational Meeting Minutes January 20, 2005 I one of two methods; either spot replacement of sections of pipe, or utilizing the same pipe lining technology that is proposed for the sanitary sewer mains. I Can we get a printout of this presentation? I A copy of the presentation and meeting minutes will be sent to all who have signed the attendance roster. I Will there be a'!)' sidewalk installed on Tipton Avenue? I It is not proposed at this point in time to put any sidewalk along Tipton Avenue. The proposal is to extend a sidewalk along the west side of Upland A venue from Trunk Highway 10 to Main Street to continue the pedestrian corridors that are currently on Main Street and are anticipated to be included on Upland Avenue north of Trunk Highway 10. I Will sidewalk be installed on the short stretch of 5th Street west of Upland Avenue? I There is no sidewalk proposed on this portion of 5th Street and only the public portion of 5th Street is proposed to be reconstructed. The private portion will be left as it is. Will adding sidewalk and widening the street result in Iosingpart of our yard? I For the Tipton and Upland Avenue areas where the street is widened and a sidewalk is added along the west side of Upland Avenue, parts of the lawns as they currently exist will become street and sidewalk areas. However, there is no land acquisition necessary. We believe that all of these improvements can be constructed within the existing platted rights-of-way. I Who is responsible for underground sprinklers? I Certainly, if you have an underground sprinkler, let us know. If our surveyors did not notice the heads and we have no record of it, if you would let us know during the walk-through, we will get that noted on our construction plans. If your sprinkler system provides heads at the back of curb or at the edge of the street, they will likely be disrupted during the construction. The City policy has been that we will allow a resident to obtain a quote from their sprinkler repair service. The City will review the quote and if appropriate, agree to pay for the restoration and/or repair of sprinkler systems found to be in the public rights-of-way. I I Who maintains the new sidewalk and who is liable if it is not cleared? I I The City maintains the sidewalk as far as cracking, replacement, and repair of it. The homeowner will be responsible for the removal of snow from the sidewalk. The sidewalk is a public improvement constructed in the public right-of-way, therefore, although I am not an attorney, I would assume that the City would be held responsible should someone injure themselves on a piece of sidewalk that is found to be in disrepair. The City Code does have some language relative to snow removal at properties who do not routinely shovel their sidewalks, but I am not familiar with exactly what that portion of Code says. The Code can be accessed on the City's public website. I What is the reason for adding sidewalk on a dead-end street? I The rationale would be exactly the same; that the public street is not a place to expect pedestrians and cars to co-mingle; that if there is room for a pedestrian movement facility such as a sidewalk outside of the street but within the public right-of-way, the City Council has indicated that they believe it should be constructed as part of this project.
