MINUTES City Council July 22, 1987 Twin Lake Fahey asked if there would be other large amounts of fill available Trail Berm in the City. (Cont.) The Engineer reported that there is a property owner on Dianna Lane that wants to get rid of 3,000 yards of fill. Frattalone also pointed out that the State will put a time limit on when the project must be completed. Bergeron, Twin Lake Trail property owner, stated that he was not interested in a$12,500 assessment, and commented that the permit application should have been submitted 3 or 4 months ago. Fahey noted that the City directed the Engineer to contact the State regarding the berm in August of 1986 and they replied in April. Fahey felt it unrealistic to expect the State to act on the permit request in 3 to 5 weeks. Romerowski felt the City should try. Fahey agreed that the Engineer should pursue the application. The Engineer stated that he will push the application as much as possible. Collova noted that if the stockpiling cost can be eliminated, the cost of the project may be more affordable. Romerowski questioned the State's putting a time limit on the project, noting the inconvenience the State puts on citizens when its projects take several months to complete. Fahey felt that not just the adjacent property owners should be assessed, and that some benefit will be derived by other properties on Twin Lake Trail. Romerowski felt that the berm will improve property values in the area. Fahey suggested that a public hearing be held on the project given the money the City is spending on engineering costs. Mrs. Romerowski noted that the State should participate in the cost pointing out that the freeway has been widened since the homes in the area were built and the hazard to the properties due to the freeway. Fahey pointed out that the freeway was widened within the Highway Department easement. Blesener suggested that the City wait to hold a public hearing as Page -18-
