NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES LAKESIDE COURT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2007 8:00 P.M. The City Administrator welcomed those present to the neighborhood meeting regarding the reconstruction of Lakeside Court from Keller Parkway to the cul -de -sac by 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 then explained, in detail, the existing conditions and the proposed improvements. Mr. Elfering indicated that the proposed improvements would reconstruct the road as a 28 -foot urban section with barrier -style concrete curb and gutter. He also mentioned that watermain construction would be included in this project along with individual water services brought out to the right-of- way. Additional catch basins would be installed along with the possibility of rain water gardens to aid in storm water collection and treatment. Mr. Elfering then explained the City's Assessment Policy, and the reasoning for the "per unit" assessment for the street reconstruction and watermain construction due to staffing belief that it is more equitable for everyone involved. Mr. Elfering also discussed the proposed construction schedule and potential construction issues that have occurred in the past. At the conclusion of 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: ➢ A resident questioned if the stormwater runoff will still outlet to Gervais Lake. Mr. Elfering answered that yes the outlet will still be to Gervais Lake, however the City will install rain water gardens along Lakeside Court to treat the first 0.9 inches of rainfall. He also mentioned that studies have been done showing that a significant amount of contaminates seen in a rainfall event are in the first inch of runoff. - 1 3 -
