. . . City Council Minutes January 16, 2007 Page 5 . Proposed timeline for project Mr. Maurer stated there are four parcels on Elk Lane included in this project. He was questioned by residents as to why it is included. He stated they could be removed but would eventually be included in an Elk Hills Addition reconstruction project in the future. Mayor Klinzing opened the public hearing Eric Nathe, 11241 192nd Avenue-Submitted a copy of a petition from residents against the following items in the project: · installation of a narrower road · clustered mailboxes · sidewalks He stated after attending tonight's meeting he sees that the road will not be narrowed more than it is now and can understand why it will be kept at 28'. He stated residents were under the impression the road would be narrowed to less than 28'. Mayor Klinzing read the petition. Arthur Jackett, 19045 Xavier Street-Questioned how storm sewer runoff would be collected and stored. Mr. Maurer explained the storm runoff for the streets in this project. Greg Runyon, 11276 192nd Avenue-Questioned why the city won't install surmountable curbs instead of the barrier style curb. Mr. Maurer stated barrier curbing provides a better driveway approach and contains water flow from street runoff. He stated surmountable curbs are used only when the city doesn't know where driveways will be built. He stated the city is willing to work with Mr. Runion on installing pedestrian ramps or an approach on his property in order to accommodate his wheel chair. Jeff Knutson, 11344 Elk Lane-Questioned whose responsibility it is to maintain the sidewalks. He requested a bike path instead of a sidewalk so kids can use it. Mr. Maurer stated it would be the property owner's responsibility to maintain the sidewalk. He stated concrete is a more durable product than asphalt and more aesthetically pleasing. Theresa Samek, 18938 Baldwin Street-Stated she supports sidewalks in the project. Rachael Hilyar, 19161 Zane Street-Stated she would prefer a 4' sidewalk so not as much land is taken from homeowners. Mr. Maurer stated land will not be taken from property owners. He stated the sidewalks will be put in the city right-of-way. He stated 4' sidewalks are not comfortable for walking side- by-side or passing others using the sidewalk. He stated standard sidewalks are 6'.
