RESOLUTION R-87-9 A RESOLUTION RELATING TO APPROVING THE PLANS FOR SNELLING AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS, COMO AVENUE TO HIGHWAY 36 ENGINEER TO PREPARE PLANS FOR ARONA WATERMAIN - HOYT TO LARPENTEUR Maurer presented possible locations for the proposed watermain as follows: east right-of-way, which would be the least expensive, (approximately $8,000 less) but would require destroying 11 mature trees, the west right-of-way, which would require major repair to the street/curb and gutter, and middle of the street, also requiring street repair. Also noted was the City Horticulturist's report that the mature trees could have a life expectancy of 30 years. Council discussed the matter and concurred it would be advisable to preserve the trees as they do add to the appearance of the community and increase property values. Chenoweth moved, seconded by Wallin, that the watermain be placed in the street and . the shade trees be preserved. Motion carried unanimously. Barnes will pursue possible grants for this project and the Snelling Avenue project. is FINAL PAYMENT TO ASHBACH CONSTRUCTION - RESOLUTION R-87-10
