NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES GREEBRIER STREET TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2018 6:00 P.M. The City Engineer welcomed those present to the neighborhood meeting regarding the mill and overlay and associated work on Lakeshore Avenue, Old County Road C, and Jackson Street. See sign-in sheet for those in attendance. The City Engineer introduced himself, Mr. Lee Elfering of Elfering & Associates, and Mr. Bill Dircks, Public Works Director. The City Engineer explained the neighborhood meeting process whereby the City provides residents of the proposed construction area with the basic information, obtains their input on the nature of the project, and then decides how to proceed from there. At this point, the City Engineer, Mr. Elfering, reviewed the Powerpoint presentation with those who were present. He explained in detail existing conditions and the proposed improvements. Mr. Elfering indicated that the proposed improvement would be to fully reconstruct Greenbrier Street from Labore Road to County Road D to an urban section, which includes storm sewer, concrete curb and gutter, and some form of stormwater infiltration, which is likely to be rain gardens. The water main gate valves and hydrant leads would also be inspected and repaired as necessary. The sanitary sewer line would also be inspected and repaired if necessary. Mr. Elfering then explained the City’s Assessment Policy, a proposed construction schedule, and potential construction issues that have occurred in the past. At the conclusion of Mr. Elfering’s presentation, the residents were asked for comments or questions regarding anything that had been presented. The following is a summary of that discussion:  A resident asked if the storm sewer will only control the water from the street. He was concerned about water from the City’s park that drains onto his property and two others (3085, 3061, and 3066). Mr. Elfering replied that he hadn’t started to design the project yet but that he would look at the City park water as part of his design process.  A resident asked about the difference between barrier curb and surmountable curb. Mr. Elfering explained the differences and said that barrier curb does a better job of keeping things in the street and surmountable curb does not carry water as well. Barrier curb also keeps snowplows from slipping up into yards as well.  It was asked if the City was limited on the project by how much property it can disturb as part of the project. Mr. Elfering stated that the City has 66 feet of right-of-way to work with and potentially more if there is a drainage and utility easement outside of the right-of-way. He further added that if he needed to go further into a property he would
