MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 19, 1986 PAGE 2 LIZ WOODWARD, 1612 HOLLYWOOD COURT, wanted to know how residents in Hollywood Court will be affected and was told the cut into the boulevard is approximately 6 feet and that during construction access will be allowed to Snelling Avenue. KAY DOWDELL 1632 HOLLYWOOD COURT, was informed State Fair visitors will not be allowed to use the service road; it will be policed as it is now, and that the service road will be two way. ROGER AND CONNIE AIKEN, 1589 HOLLYWOOD COURT, expressed concern that the large trees, which provided a sound barrier to the area, were removed. There will be some trees/shrubs planted but no sound barrier will be constructed. MARVIN FLODIN, OWNER OF THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS AT 1642 AND 1634 SNELLING DRIVE, was informed there will be no changes in that service road except for the adding of curb and gutter, and closing of the frontage road at Larpenteur. RON JOHNSON, 1836 SNELLING, inquired about possible assessments to which Baldwin replied the only possible assessments would be for storm sewer and Council is negotiating with MN/DOT to pay the costs. Chenoweth explained there is an area north of Larpenteur on the west side of Snelling with no city water and the city is interested in running water across Snelling and placing fire hydrants in conjunction with the Snelling Avenue construction. MN/DOT has been asked to include the water main as an alternate so if residents desire city water it will be extended to those residences, otherwise, the water line will only be extended across Snelling and hydrants installed. GLEN OLSON, 1780 N. SNELLING, questioned the need for the project, why it was necessary to remove the trees from the median and reduce the size of the median, to which O'Ryan replied the median is being reduced to allow space for the service road on the west as it is felt necessary for safety of the residents. In reply to questions from CHAR NELSON, 1893 Snelling, RON JOHNSON, 1826 SNELLING, KEITH HEUER, 1840 SNELLING, and MARV FLODIN, 1634/1642 SNELLING, the engineer explained whether or not there will be on-street parking on service roads is a determination to be made by Council. JOHN CARNES, 1775 SNELLING, felt MN/Dot has been very responsive and cooperative during the construction planning period. JIM KORF, FALCON BARBERS, was informed both Crawford and Garden will be open during construction. CITY TO OBTAIN QUOTE ON UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH SNELLING AVENUE CONSTRUCTION Council directed Barnes to obtain a quote from NSP and Northwestern Bell on undergrounding utilities on Larpenteur from Fry to Arona Streets, and Snelling Avenue, Hoyt to Roselawn. ~,Fr
