NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES CONDIT STREET TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2007 6:00 P.M. The City Administrator welcomed those present to the neighborhood meeting regarding the reconstruction of Condit Street between South Owasso Boulevard and Nadeau Road by right -of -way acquisition, reconstructed road surface, concrete curb and gutter, and drainage enhancements. See sign -in sheet for those in attendance. The City Administrator introduced himself, Mr. Joel Hanson, Mr. Lee Elfering, City Engineer of Elfering & Associates, Mr. Bill Dircks, Public Works Superintendent, and Mr. Nathan Boerboom of Elfering & Associates. The City Administrator reviewed the neighborhood meeting process whereby the City provides residents of the proposed construction area with the basic information, obtains their input on the nature of the project, and then decides how to proceed from there. At this point, the City Engineer, Mr. Elfering, reviewed the handout material (copy attached) with those who were present. He stated that an informational meeting was held January of 2005 and that the consensus then was to delay the project until construction of the Hidden Acres development was completed. He then explained, in detail, the existing conditions and the proposed improvements. Mr. Elfering indicated that the proposed improvement would reconstruct the road as a 28 -foot urban section with barrier -style concrete curb and gutter from South Owasso to Nadeau Road. He stated that in order to reconstruct Condit Street, that an additional 17 -feet of right -of -way would have to be acquired from the west two properties south of Yorkton Ridge. Additional catch basins would be installed along with the possibility of rain water gardens to aid in storm water and runoff drainage. It was also stated that the City was looking at including the improvements of Condit Street from Nadeau Road to Burke Lane into this project. However, due to the limited right -of -way, (30 -feet) it is not possible to construct the City's typical 28 -foot wide section and still have room within the right -of -way for private utilities and snow storage outside the street surface. Acquisition of additional right -of -way was not a viable option because of existing improvements in place and that the acquisitions would result in nonconforming lots. Three options exist for this portion of Condit Street: 1) Reconstruct as a 20 -foot rural section, 2) Reconstruct as a substandard width urban section, 3) Do not include this portion of Condit Street into the project. Mr. Elfering then explained the City's Assessment Policy, a proposed construction schedule, and potential construction issues that have occurred in the past. During Mr. Elfering's presentation, the residents were asked for comments or questions regarding anything that had been presented. The following is a summary of that discussion: 2
