MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING <br />JANUARY 8, 2020 <br />Kathy Furtado, 2995 Sherry Court, asked for more clarification on what <br />work would be done in the cul-de-sacs. The City Engineer stated they <br />would only be doing a little work on the sidewalk for the pedestrian <br />ramps. <br />Paul Mangan requested that the homeowners association could have input <br />as to where the monument signs would be placed. <br />Keis stated that the City is looking for standardization on sidewalks and <br />his opinion is that every neighborhood should not have different sidewalk <br />or green strip widths. The City Engineer stated that the city could <br />consider replacing any trees that may be removed. <br />Susan Thimsen asked if the new sidewalk would be plowed. The Public <br />Works Director stated that the city plows and maintains all of the <br />sidewalks, but they are not salted. <br />Barb Jordahl, 2991 Sherry Court, stated that between the backs of the <br />homes in all of the cul-de-sacs there is a low spot where the water seeps <br />towards Allen and the grass is always soggy, so she is concerned that the <br />sidewalk would be icy. She stated that everyone has had some sort of <br />water problems. The City Engineer stated that they will look into the <br />area's drainage and he will have the surveyors shoot further behind the <br />homes in order to understand how the water drainage is actually occurring. <br />The Public Works Director stated that maybe some inlets could be added <br />to the existing storm sewer. <br />Fischer stated that he has gone back and forth about removing the <br />medians, but noted that it does make sense to remove them even though <br />they do slow down traffic a little. He stated that they have caused <br />accidents and assumed that most residents have almost slid in to them at <br />some point during winter. <br />Lee Margl, 2979 Frattalone Lane, asked if the grasses and large rocks <br />from the medians could be saved and used somewhere else. The Public <br />Works Director stated that they will work with the residents to do that. <br />Keis asked if everyone in attendance was in support of proceeding with <br />the improvement. No one in attendance stated they were not in support for <br />the project. Keis stated that the sidewalk will be added with <br />approximately a five-foot green strip, but those details have yet to be <br />determined since the sidewalk design has just started. He noted that once <br />the plans are finalized, they will be shared with the residents. <br />0 <br />
