PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />Last week, Mike Kedrowski, who lives on Dodge Street directly across from the new <br />Perkins, came to City Hall to meet with Steve Ach and me. Mr. Kedrowski had a number <br />of issues he wanted to discuss regarding the Elk Hills Drive/Dodge Improvement Project. <br />They were as follows: <br /> <br />Mr. Kedrowski presented the attached estimate for replacing the sidewalk by his <br />front door. As you recall, last fall the Kedrowskis raised the issue that with the <br />placement of the new driveway to their garage, they felt that water would be <br />trapped on the sidewalk adjacent to their driveway which accesses their front door. <br />City Council gave them direction to seek a quote for this work and present it back <br />to the City. Last fall, the Kedrowskis had problems getting contractors to quote <br />on this work because it was late in the season. Mr. Kedrowski has now received <br />a quote in the amount of $450 from a person in Big Lake. <br /> <br />Mr. Kedrowski wanted to reconfirm what was discussed last fall regarding his <br />driveway. Last fall, we indicated to him that the quality of the bituminous paving <br />was not up to standards and would be redone. However, we suggested that, due <br />to the lateness of the season, the repaving of the driveway be held off until the <br />spring. We confirmed to Mr. Kedrowski that this is correct and that his entire <br />bituminous driveway will be replaced this spring. <br /> <br />Mr. Kedrowski indicated that, with the realignment of his driveway, he <br />experienced large snowbanks on the north side of the driveway. He indicated that <br />this has never happened before. He asked that an area of his yard approximately <br />five feet wide adjacent to the north side of the driveway be graded to one foot <br />lower. He felt that this would prevent the snow from drifting in the driveway. If <br />the City Council wants us to have this done, it would be extra work that the <br />Contractor would have to be paid for. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
