MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 23, 2007 <br />A property owner indicated that a sidewalk on the residential side of <br />CanabLUy Drive may result in the need for retaining walls and cause the <br />loss of trees. The City Engineer agreed that there would be an impact to <br />trees. <br />One property owner indicated that the sidewalk along County Road B-2 <br />was not utilized, and felt that a sidewalk was an added liability this time of <br />the year. Another property owner indicated that the County Road B-2 <br />sidewalk was used, but felt Canabury Drive should have an on-street <br />shoulder similar to Viking Drive. He noted that there is no sidewalk along <br />Demont Avenue. <br />Blesener asked about the feasibility of the 32-foot wide street for Viking <br />Drive. The City Engineer indicated that it was a possibility and indicated <br />that the wider shoulder would have less impact than a 6-foot sidewalk. <br />The Engineer estimated the extra cost for the wider street at $8,000. <br />Blesener felt that was a minimal cost for extra safety. <br />One property owner was about moving the street toward the freeway <br />sowed wall. The City Engineer indicated that storm water treatment <br />standards would have to be met and rain water gardens are planned for this <br />area. <br />One property owner stated that he was against widening the street because <br />it would then be used as a raceway. It was pointed out that the street <br />width ranges from 27 feet to 38 feet currently. Therefore, the proposal for <br />a 32-foot wide street is generally narrower than current conditions. <br />The Engineer discussed the timing of the project and the methods that <br />would be used for maintaining access to the impacted properties. <br />Blesener asked for a show of hands in support of the project. Of the three <br />people present, two supported the project and one did not. Curbing was <br />discussed, with the consensus of support for the barrier curbing proposed <br />by the City Engineer. <br />There was no one else present wishing to comment on this matter. <br />Upon motion by Keis, seconded by Allan, the public hearing was closed. <br />Mr. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTIONNO. 2007-1-13 -ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT <br />AND PREPARATION OF PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT NO. 2007- <br />02,CANABURYDRIVE,WITH 32-FOOT ROAD SDRFACE <br />
