MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 8, 2023 Street along with the proposed street and utility improvements. He also provided details on the proposed project funding, estimated costs and financing, and special assessments. He also presented a preliminary assessment roll for the project. Mayor Fischer opened the public hearing for comments from the general public. Frank Frattalone, Country Drive property owner, commented that this looks like a nice project. He asked that the City allow residents to have the option to work with the contractor to do half of each driveway at a time to ensure their heavy trucks can continue to go in and out without causing damage. David Dorn, 2739 Jackson Street, asked if the road would be accessible during the project and whether residents would continue to have access during the project. The City Engineer commented that typically there is access during the day and for sure at the end of the day. He noted that there may be periods during the day when a part of the project blocks access for a few hours, but residents would be notified. He noted that once the curb is poured there would be five to seven days for that to cure where residents would park on the road. Greg Ostenson, 2741 Jackson Street, commented that the road is in poor condition because of the semi - truck traffic and asked if semis would continue to be allowed after the project as that will continue to cause damage. The City Engineer replied that they plan to construct the road to handle that type of traffic going forward, with thicker sections to support up to seven tons. Mr. Ostenson commented that the semis often block the traffic on the road unloading their vehicles. The City Engineer replied that he can follow up with code enforcement and noted that if the road is blocked by a truck, the resident can call the Sheriff. There were no further comments from the public. Upon motion by D. Miller, seconded by T. Miller, the public hearing was closed. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Motion adopted. Mayor Fischer referenced the question by Mr. Frattalone and asked if the City can work with that. The City Engineer confirmed that is a typical process used for commercial properties and noted that he would follow up for that planning. The Public Works Director commented that the road was not originally built for this type of traffic and therefore will be built to a higher standard during this project to support the heavy truck traffic.
