MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY 13, 1992 <br />Dan Liebel pointed out that additional property owners <br />have arrived at the meeting and all are against the <br />improvement. There were an estimated nine Twin Lake <br />Blvd. property owners in attendance. <br />Scalze stated that she did not know the total footage <br />controlled by these property owners. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the City owns <br />two parcels in the area amounting to almost 1,000 feet <br />in frontage. <br />Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Scalze, the public <br />hearing was closed. <br />Scalze stated that she felt the City would be <br />short-sighted if it did not support the improvement <br />pointing out the minimal cost involved. Scalze stated <br />that the City does not get many chances for <br />installation of paved shoulders along a roadway at such <br />a low cost. Scalze felt that the City should look to <br />the future and approve the improvement. <br />A property owner in the area reported that there are <br />numerous children from the adjacent trailer park that <br />would heavily use the shoulder. This property owner <br />suggested that the trailer park be contacted to see if <br />they would participate in the cost of the improvement. <br />The City Administrator reported that the trailer park <br />is already included in the assessment. <br />LaValle reported that even though the cost is minimal, <br />if there are 50% of the property owners opposed to the <br />shoulder, he would not force the improvement on them. <br />Collova agreed that if the property owners do not want <br />the improvement, why order it. <br />Blesener pointed out that not only would a paved <br />shoulder provide a walking path, but also would protect <br />the roadway. <br />Dan Liebel reported that if the County plans to replace <br />the road as it currently exists, a paved shoulder is <br />not necessary. Again, the question of the steep <br />embankments was raised. Liebel felt that having a bike <br />path that was not continuous would be dangerous. <br />Blesener suggested that the City Administrator and City <br />Engineer determine the County's plans for the shoulder <br />in more detail and report back to the Council. <br />Page 4 <br />
