➢ There was a question concerning storm drainage and whether or not it would be <br />improved near County Road B2. Mr. Elfering replied that the drainage would be <br />improved in that area and further stated that Canabury Drive was also proposed <br />to be reconstructed and that would also have a positive effect on drainage in the <br />B2 area. <br />➢ A question was posed regarding whether or not the curb and gutter would <br />alleviate the problems with Sleepy Hollow Pond. Mr. Elfering replied that the <br />curb and gutter would not be a factor in correcting the problems with the pond, <br />but he added that the pond was scheduled to be dredged in the upcoming winter <br />and that would have a positive impact on the pond as a whole. He also stated that <br />the proposed rain gardens would be a benefit to the pond as well since they <br />would allow a good amount of water to infiltrate rather than flow into the pond. <br />➢ It was asked why there was to be no curbing between St. Jude Medical and <br />Nature Way. Mr. Elfering replied that Viking Dr. was currently designed as a <br />rural section in that area and that the road would have to be widened from B2 to <br />Nature Way. He mentioned that he would prefer to put curb and gutter along the <br />section in question. <br />➢ There was a comment that curbing on the entire road would be more consistent in <br />appearance. The City Administrator replied that curbing would be a challenge in <br />some areas of the project, particularly those where the road was going to be <br />recycled. He said that it may be possible and that the City likes concrete curb <br />and gutter for its appearance and because it helps drainage. <br />➢ It was asked if there would still be storm sewer installed if there wasn't curb. <br />Mr. Elfering replied that there would be storm sewer but on a much smaller scale. <br />He added that most of the water would continue to flow where it does now. <br />➢ A resident questioned if people were being assessed the same price per foot <br />whether there is concrete curb or not. Mr. Elfering responded affirmatively, <br />explaining that rural section roads are assessed l00 %. The City would like to <br />build all roads with an urban section so they have attempted to make the option <br />more affordable for residents. Mr. Elfering added that if he was not able to <br />install curb in some areas those affected would not necessarily be charged more <br />since it wouldn't be fair to charge more if there are no options. <br />➢ A resident asked why residents of Nature Way, a private road, have to pay such a <br />high price. The City Administrator responded by saying that the residents of <br />Nature Way have to use Viking Dr. to get to their homes so the City's policy is to <br />assess those homes due to the amount of usage. He went on to state that the City <br />
