The Elk River City Council meeting reconvened at 7:50 p.m. Public Hearinq and Assessment Hearinq to Consider Overlay Project and Assessments for Riverview Heights Project City Engineer Terry Maurer explained that the public hearing and assessment hearing for the overlay improvement are both being held this evening in order to complete construction this year. The project consists of a 2" overlay on the following streets within the Riverview Heights 1st, 2nd and 3rd Additions, Grandview Addition, and Palmer Addition: Mississippi Road Naples Street Riverview Drive 179th Avenue 178th Avenue Rawlins Sunrise Circle Queen Street Terry Maurer explained that staff has recommended Macon Street (Grandview 2nd) and Riverview Drive be excluded from the project in anticipation that at some point during the life of the overlay, the developer of Country Crossing 3rd Addition will petition for city sewer and water. The properties included in the project will be assessed $1,300 per unit at 8% interest over 5 years. The assessment can be paid in full with no interest if it is paid before December 1, 1996. Terry Maurer noted he has received no formal notice of objection to the proposed assessment. Terry indicated Mr. Jim Simpson, Riverview Drive, has advised him that although Mr. Simpson owns two parcels, one of the parcels is not a buildable lot and staff recommends Mr. Simpson be assessed for one unit only. City Attorney, Peter Beck, advised anyone wishing to object to the proposed assessment must file a written objection with the City Clerk tonight, and commence a formal objection with the State District court within 30 days. Mayor Duitsman opened the public hearing. David Raymond, 13686 Riverview Drive, questioned how long the overlay would last. He felt the existing roadway was a poor foundation for the overlay. Terry
