<br /> The residents of 74 Labore Avenue stated that there was a giant tree in their yard <br />that they worried would have to be taken as part of the project. Based on some <br />pictures in the Powerpoint presentation Mr. Elfering felt it would probably be ok <br />where it was. <br /> <br /> A resident mentioned the utility flags that were in yards currently and asked if <br />they were the City’s doing. Mr. Elfering responded that the flags are part of the <br />design process. His company is surveying everything to gather data for the <br />project. <br /> <br /> It question was asked about how the new road would be centered in the right-of- <br />way compared to the existing road. Mr. Elfering answered that the new road will <br />likely be in pretty close to the exact same place as the existing road. <br /> <br /> A resident asked where the road will need to be lowered the most. Mr. Elfering <br />replied that he thought the middle portion of the road would have to be lowered <br />the most to help drainage. <br /> <br /> It was asked if Boss Road will ever connect with Labore Ave. Mr. Elfering said <br />it was highly unlikely due to the infiltration basin that is in the right-of-way. <br /> <br /> A resident asked when Labore Avenue would have been scheduled if a petition <br />had not been provided to the City. The City Administrator answered that it likely <br />would have been scheduled for 2018. The pavement condition wasn’t bad. It is <br />the poor drainage that is the issue. <br /> <br /> It was asked if there would be a better-defined turnaround at the west end of the <br />road. Mr. Elfering responded that the new turnaround will probably match the <br />existing turnaround pretty closely but would be defined by the curb and gutter. <br />Making it any bigger could be problematic with a fire hydrant and light pole <br />nearby. <br /> <br /> It was asked if one type of curb was better than the other. Mr. Elfering <br />responded that barrier curb conveys water better and is two inches taller than <br />surmountable curb. Barrier curb is also better for snowplowing operations. <br /> <br /> There was a question on how big the rain water gardens would be. Mr. Elfering <br />replied that they don’t have a set size but are typically 15-30 feet long and 10 feet <br />deep or so. <br /> <br /> A resident asked about what would happen if nobody wanted a rain garden. Mr. <br />Elfering answered that he would ask everyone again and hope he could get some <br />takers. He added that a last resort would be to use underground <br />storage/infiltration, which is very expensive. <br />
