MINUTES CITY COIINCIL NOVEMBER 22, 1989 COUNTRY DR. Frank Frattalone asked the status of upgrading Country Drive pointing out that the turning radius at the corner of Country Drive and South Owasso Blvd. is very poor. The City Engineer pointed out that a couple of years ago he had plans prepared for upgrading Country Drive, however, the matter was put on hold pending the study of the area. Blesener pointed out that the Brueggemann development will generate a lot of construction traffic on Country Drive over the next couple of years. Blesener asked if the upgrading of Country Drive should wait until development of the area is completed. The City Engineer did not think so since the development of the area will take a few years. It was pointed out that the first building is planned to get underway in February of 1990 and upgrading of Country Drive could begin in the spring. Frattalone asked if the elevation of Country Drive will be changed. The City Engineer replied that the elevation will be within a foot or two of the present elevation. The Engineer pointed out that the public hearinq on upgrading Country Drive was held a couple of years ago, and the improvement was ordered. The Engineer asked if a new public hearing was necessary. The City Attorney replied that he would have to check State Statutes on that. Frattalone outlined the repairs that are needed at South Owasso and Spruce Street which include storm sewer. Frattalone felt the situation a dangerous one and indicated that he was willing to put the improvements in at his own cost. Frattalone reported that he had discussed the improvements with the previous Public Works Superintendent, who indicated that the City had some pipe that he would donate towards the improvement if the City allowed Frattalone to make the corrections. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Page 21
