~~ ~~~ <br />Mayor Warkentien then stated the base of the street needs to be CRAWFORD <br />replaced as it is clay, and due to the small annual amount of CONTINUED <br />State Aid the City receives, we have not had enough funds until <br />now to proceed with these projects. <br />Oliver Statham then asked is it true as I was told that stoplight <br />would be installed at Hoyt and Snelling and if this would have <br />at~ything to do with the project. <br />Ntayor Warkei~cien noted no light had been planned for Snelling and <br />Hoyt and if there was to be one, the State would install it. <br />Vincent Landis, 1538 Crawford, wanted to know why the Council wanted <br />to make Crawford between Arona and Asbury ~.~.feet. He stated there <br />are about eight people that live on Crawford, and he does not want <br />his front yard any shorter. He suggested that the road remain the <br />same as the width between Pascal and Arona, and that people park in <br />their garages. <br />Mayor Warkentien replied that parking would be banned if the street <br />was kept the same width. <br />Engineer Lemberg stated Arona north of Crawford is 32 to 33 feet, <br />and Arona south of Crawford is ~0 feet. He related the improvement <br />would correct the drainage problems and stated the Council wished to <br />use State Aid funds for this. He discussed trees on the boulevards <br />and stated most of the trees are outside the boulevard. <br />Vincent Landis suggested banning parking on one side of the street <br />as +.1-.e parking area is not needed. He also asked about assessment <br />policies. <br />Ma~.ror Warkentien stated Falcon Heights had always assessed in the <br />past for curb, gutter, and sidewalks. He then discussed the hearing <br />in March when the notices of the preliminary input meetings were <br />handed out by the Boy Scouts. <br />Vinsent Landis stated he wanted curb and gutter as it is needed. <br />Councilman Black noted this is not an assessment hearing, but stated <br />many people would feel the two are tied together and that their <br />opinions as to the project as a whole may depend upon an~r assessments. <br />H® suggested the Council relate to the citizens their attitude <br />towards assessments. <br />The width of the streets was then discussed; Mayor Warkentien <br />suggested leaving the street as it is on the south side, and <br />giving four extra feet on the north side. He then suggested some <br />type of parking lane. <br />1 <br />
