MINi7TES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 22, 1995 <br />could not attend the meeting this evening. Drake had <br />some environmental concerns, and has found that the <br />paved shoulders are preferred and viewed as an asset <br />environmentally. Paved shoulders are easier to clean <br />and pavement holds nutrients that can dissipate before <br />discharge into the lakes. <br />One property owner asked if a 30-foot pavement width <br />was an option. <br />Fahey felt 30 feet was preferable on the north end of <br />the lake so that trees could be saved. <br />The property owner suggested that if pavement width is <br />30 feet on the north end of the lake, it should be 30 <br />throughout. <br />Scalze stated that she was concerned with allowing a <br />variation of pavement width. Scalze felt that property <br />owners who lobby the hardest will have a lesser width <br />in front of their homes than other property owners. <br />Morelan felt the 30 foot width did not work. <br />One property owner felt that 4-foot paved shoulders <br />were plenty wide. <br />Fahey asked if it were feasible to construct an <br />improvement that is 30 feet wide, consisting of two 11- <br />£oot driving lanes and two 4-foot shoulders. <br />Mayasich stated that that would be acceptable to the <br />County. Mayasich felt that it was important to <br />maintain continuity in the improvement. Mayasich <br />pointed out that 11-foot driving lanes would be the <br />minimum. <br />Fahey stated that he would support two 4-foot paved <br />shoulders. <br />Scalze pointed out that the County has 66 feet of road <br />right-of-way. If the County feels a 32-foot pavement <br />width can work, Scalze felt that is what should be <br />done. <br />Fahey stated that he was trying to balance the <br />interests of the neighborhood with those of walkers and <br />bikers. Fahey pointed out that it is a scenic area and <br />17 <br />
