MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 22, 1994 <br />sealcoating. <br />Steve Goeritz, 895 Windrow, felt that a street <br />improvement would be warranted when the water problem <br />was addressed. <br />Wehrle suggested that the assessment policy should be <br />looked at to determine what it would cost for street <br />reconstruction now versus 10 years from now. Wehrle <br />felt that the property owners miqht get a break if an <br />improvement were done now versus in 10 years. Wehrle <br />pointed out that the water problem is with localized <br />water. Reconstruction would involve installation of <br />drainable soils as well as drain tile. <br />Potter reported that he talked with the Watershed and <br />the ditch project being referred to will not take place <br />this year. Potter reported that in the summer after a <br />rain he has 3 feet of standing water in his backyard. <br />Potter felt that the water problem needed to be <br />addressed before a street reconstruction was <br />considered. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the Engineer's <br />quote of $120 per foot for street reconstruction would <br />be split between both sides of the street. The <br />Administrator also reported that the City has not dealt <br />with the issue of reconstruction of urban streets, <br />therefore, the cost split between property owners and <br />the City has not been analyzed in great detail. The <br />Administrator did not believe that reconstruction of <br />either street was warranted at this time. The <br />Administrator reported that the fact that Windrow was <br />newer than first thouqht was a major revelation. The <br />Administrator also felt that Mr. Shannon raised some <br />good points. The cracking along the curbline on <br />Westwind is a bigger issue, and the same wear is not <br />evident on Windrow. The Administrator felt patching <br />and sealcoating was an option. Any improvement done is <br />a value question that the City needs to answer. The <br />Administrator stated that it was likely that the City <br />would bear the greatest portion of the bill under a <br />patch and overlay option. The question is which option <br />makes the most economic sense. <br />Morelan asked what a patch and sealcoat would cost. <br />12 <br />
