e e e Page 2 City of Elk River City Council Minutes March 13. 1989 The City Engineer explained that the City is proposing a 9 ton design urban section with concrete curb and gutter on the south segment and a 1~ inch bituminous overlay on the north segment of Tyler Street. He indicated that the construction of the south segment between County Road 13 and 197th Avenue would be eligible for MSA funding as this part of the street is being constructed to MSA standards. He noted that the total estimated proj ect cost. for Tyler Street is $447.300 and stated that MSA Funds would contribute $280.000 to the project. He stated that the City is proposing that platted single family lots would be considered one unit and further that one unit would be charged $1500 for the street construction. Mr. Maurer stated that the properties along the south segment of Tyler Street are agricultural or large rural lots and the City is recommending that the assessments for these areas be based on a unit basis and that 300 feet of frontage would be equivalent to one unit. Mr. Maurer explained that the proposed improvements for Knollwood consist of a 1~ inch bituminous overlay of the existing streets within the Knollwood area. He stated that the estimated construction cost is $86.200 and that the assessments would be charged on a per unit basis with an estimated cost of $1.150 per unit. Mr. Maurer then proceeded to go over the project schedule for both Knollwood and Tyler projects. Vice Mayor Schuldt opened the public hearing at this time. Jean Mord - 10906 202nd Avenue - questioned how long of a guarantee the citizens would have on the overlay in Knollwood as the overlay is only going to be 1~ inches thick. Mr. Lindquist 10643 203rd Avenue - indicated that as far as he could tell there has been no maintenance on the roads in Knollwood and stated he is concerned about overlaying roads that are in poor condition instead of redoing the roads. Dale Jacobson - 19613 Ulysses - indicated that Ulysses between 195th and 197th Avenue had been overlayed approximately 8 to 10 years ago and does not feel the road is in bad shape or in need of another overlay. John Bakos - 19718 Tyler Street - indicated that he owns a corner lot on Tyler Street and questioned the City's policy on assessing corner lots. City Engineer indicated that he would receive only one assessment; the highest assessment of the two roads. Jan Willet - 19741 Ulysses - questioned why the City was assessing people who abut the streets when everybody uses the roads. She further questioned why the tax dollars do not take care of overlaying the roads. Wayne Kellar - 19612 Tyler Street - indicated there is a large ravine by his driveway and stated that much planning will have to be done in that area on Tyler Street when the road is improved. The City Engineer indicated that he will be working closely with Mr. Kellar if the project is ordered. Bill Weatherly 19885 Tyler Street questioned what the Engineer proposed to do with the storm water runoff.
