. . . City Council Nlinutes February 20, 2007 Page 5 new frontage off of 193rd Avenue which will leave them with a setback in excess of 160-feet. He stated that he doesn't believe the Galvin's home site being less than 2.5 acres is an issue and provided examples of two sites across from the Galvin's that are less than the 2.5 acre minimum. Mr. Maurer indicated that Mr. Burandt is correct regarding the frontage. Mr. Maurer clarified that neither alternative will take the Galvin's home. Barb Burandt, 19118 Tyler Street - explained that she has concerns with the alternative corridor layout as it would drastically impact the natural wetland that is located on the northeast comer of their property. She indicated that she would like to see the road impact the wetland as little as possible. There being no one else to speak to this issue, Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearings. Councilmember Morin clarified that with parcel 3 and 5 being combined, the Galvin's won't have any issue with whether or not their lot is buildable in the future. Mr. Maurer indicated that the City Council can take position that they created non-conformity so they could provide for variances if necessary. The Council reviewed the impact of both alternatives again. Discussion took place on the environmental impacts of both options. Ms. Burandt questioned if a bridge over their property has been discussed. Mr. Maurer indicated that it has not. He stated that staff is committed to working with the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) to minimize the environmental impact. Counci1member Morin questioned how the impact on the wetland differs between the two 31tematives as the road will go through the wetland either way. Mr. Maurer explained that the second option would be a slightly larger impact of the wetland by possibly moving into the open water pool. He stated that additional impacts of the alternative include cutring the Burandt's hill down and removal of some trees. Howard Roston, indicated that the eminent domain resolution does not currently include a provision allowing staff to take less land as necessary. Mr. Roston stated that the Council may wish to clarify this in the resolution. Mayor Klinzing stated that she believes it is too soon for this project to be happening and that she has concerns with how other transportation issues will be funded if all of the Municipal State Aid is spent on this project for the next five years. She noted that she believes if the project moves forward that it should be terminated at Tyler Street. MAYOR KLINZING MOVED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ORDERING THE PROJECT MEMORANDUM AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS WITH THE PROJECT CEASING AT TYLER STREET. Motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember Gumphrey indicated that the project cost will only go up in the future and should be completed now. He noted that staff has done a good job working with residents to work out feasible alternatives. Councilmember Morin con~urred that the cost will only increase in the future. He indicated
