MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 10, 1991 The City Engineer pointed out that option C calls for the ditch to be relocated to the property line. The Engineer felt that the Greenbrier properties benefited by the improvement since the ditch is located on the properties to the west and there is run-off from the Greenbrier lots flowing west. Randy Creel asked if property owners will have an opportunity to review the prices for the three alternatives and express their opinion once the bids are received. The City Administrator recommended that the Council order the improvement so that pricing can be obtained for the three options. Once that pricing is received, City staff will meet with the five property owners to see if a consensus can be reached. If not, the property owners will have the opportunity to address the Council. Creel asked about the extra $1,000 he paid for a walk-out lot when shortly after the City changed their position and allowed walk-outs to be built south of Allen Avenue. The City Administrator pointed out that the City was not involved in setting prices for the lots. The Administrator stated that staff is not in a position to make a recommendation on assessments based on this issue. Hanson suggested that Council review that issue when it finds out the cost of the improvement. Tracey George expressed concern about the open pipes in the area. The Administrator replied that a trash guard has been installed on one of the pipes. Installation of similar trash guards has been delayed until after the improvement project is completed since the area will be regraded and pipes relocated as part of the project. George suggested that some type of fencing material be used over the pipes. The Administrator felt that a problem could be created where the pipes could become blocked. Pat Rude, 3018 Ontario Road, asked about sealing the ends of the drain tile somehow so that animals do not crawl into it. Page 7
