MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 Kwapick thanked staff for working through this to find an alternative as.there was a lot of negative feedback on the original plan, although they did understand why it was needed. He was happy that they were able to use that feedback from the public to develop this design. He believed that this design would improve the intersection while impacting the local community less. Gutierrez agreed that this seems to be a much better design and believed that property owners would appreciate this D. Miller appreciated the extra work of staff to get to this point. Mayor Fischer acknowledged the public pushback on the original design and stated that this is an example of how the system works and input of residents is appreciated during these processes. He thanked staff for their hard work. ACCEPT FEASIBILITY REPORT AND CALL FOR AN IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR COUNTY ROAD D IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The City Engineer provided background information on the proposed County Road D improvement project including details on the proposed improvements, estimated costs and financing, special assessments, and anticipated project timeline. Kwapick noticed that 942 County Road D would be assessed for this project as well as the Stoneridge Court project. The City Engineer explained that it is not often that there are separate projects impacting a property on both sides in one year and noted there are also two corner properties on Maple Leaf Court that will receive assessments from both street projects. He explained that the assessments for the corner lots on this project are around $1,000 or less, explaining the assessment formula for corner lots. Kwapick asked the Council and staff to keep that in mind as this is a unique situation in which there would be two road projects that could impact corner lots in one year. D. Miller asked about access during construction. The City Engineer noted that there would be access to these subdivisions throughout this process, although there may be times of delay. He noted that the other road project just discussed is not a full reconstruction and therefore vehicles will be able to drive on the road. He also provided details on the phasing of bids, in hopes that the same contractor may choose to try to pick up the second project as well. He stated that while this project is proposed to be assessed on a per -foot basis, the Council could also choose to consider a per -unit basis. The City Administrator commented that there is a perception of fairness or unfairness from certain property owners with whichever method is chosen. D. Miller introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2024-12-153 — RECEIVING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND CALLING FOR AN IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR COUNTYROAD D IMPROVEMENTS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Kwapick. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. I
