Open Forum <br /> <br />Scott Stevenson, 19850 Watson Circle NW, expressed concerns regarding changes made to the cul-de-sac <br />with the current resurfacing project. He stated the cul-de-sac does not meet the criteria and he will inherit <br />more easement land that he needs to take care of. Mr. Stevenson also stated they did not receive notice <br />regarding these changes. He would like to know why the other cul-de-sacs are not being changed and would <br />like to appeal to have the cul-de-sac turned back to what it was or come to a compromise. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz asked the Public Works Director/Chief Engineer, Justin Femrite to comment on this issue. <br />Mr. Femrite stated that pulling in those radiuses did open more area to place the snow. The neighborhood is <br />of the age that none of the cul-de-sacs in that area are to current standards. The other cul-de-sacs are not <br />being changed because they are able to maintain those cul-de-sacs with snow storage. <br /> <br />Mr. Femrite stated he can include a follow-up to the Council regarding what the plans show and take <br />pictures of the area if the Council would like to discuss it further in the future. <br /> <br />The Council decided to discuss this at a future meeting. Mr. Femrite stated that he will let the residents <br />know when the date of the meeting will take place. <br /> <br />6.1 City of Elk River Volunteer of the Month <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz presented the June Volunteer of the Month award to Beth Balmanno.
