MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />5eptember 27, 1989 <br />Fahey suggested that the remaining 75% of the <br />reconstruction costs should be funded from surplus TIF <br />funda from the Valento Lane project, and after <br />additional discussion on assessment percentages, it was <br />the concensus of the Council that Blesener's suggestion <br />was the best one. Council also agreed that the entire <br />length of Payne Avenue should be overlaid giving the <br />street a uniform appearance. <br />Scalze was concerned about setting a precedent. <br />Fahey felt the situation was unique and that it would <br />be reasonable to have expected Payne Avenue to have <br />lasted longer than it did. Blesener agreed that this <br />was a unique situation that the City must deal with. <br />Fahey questioned paying for the storm sewer portion of <br />the improvement from the Storm Sewer Fund. <br />Blesener pointed out that the situation differs with <br />the storm sewer project that was assessed in the Demont <br />area since that storm sewer was put in to drain private <br />property. The Payne Avenue storm sewer is proposed to <br />drain the subsoil under the road. <br />Council again discussed Blesener's recommendation, with <br />Blesener indicating that he believed that the City <br />could justify that the improvement of Payne Avenue <br />would improve the market value of the Payne Avenue <br />properties by $805 per lot. <br />Joe Lunders, 3031 Payne Avenue, felt that the cost of <br />the increase of Payne Avenue from a 5-ton road to a <br />7-ton road should be borne by the City. Lunders also <br />questioned how Payne Avenue could have been originally <br />dug down to a depth of 10 feet for installation of <br />utilities and ground water not being hit. Lunders <br />reported that in 1983 when he installed his pool, the <br />contractor had to pump the hole so that the pool could <br />be constructed. Lunders also questioned the City <br />Enqineer's figurea on the rain that the City received <br />in 1985 and 1986, pointing out that the Engineer's <br />figures represent the rainfall received by the State, <br />and not the Metro Area specifically. <br />Lunders stated that he questioned that the road was put <br />in properly and questioned whether or not drain tile <br />was needed. Lunders suggested that if underlayment is <br />Page 22 <br />
