123 COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 10, 1990 changed. Aerial topographical maps of the area indicate that there are some wetlands in the right -of -way area as the right -of -way approaches Otter Lake Road. Mr. Boxrud showed two different alternate routes to Otter Lake Road. He also noted that the westerly portion of this street will be more costly to construct. Street lighting will consist of one (1) street light at Bald Eagle Blvd. and 66th Street. Drainage will collect and run to the north. The street was originally planned as a collector street. The plan presented this evening is for a residential street because there is some uncertainty as to when the westerly portion will be constructed. He noted that the area is at the southerly end of an urban service district. It may be a long time before any urban development reaches this street. Mr. Boxrud noted that the present right -of -way would allow the street to be widened to a collector street status in the future when there is a need. The total cost of the street is $160,600.00. Both sides of the street are proposed to be assessed. Zoning requirements will allow the property to the north to be subdivided into two and one half (2 1/2) acre lots. Although there is wetland on the property to the north, each lot has buildable areas. Mr. Boxrud described the proposed construction of the street including the need to surcharge a portion of the street and the construction schedule. Mayor Bisel noted that Mrs. Lowell was in the audience. However, if the Council accepted the engineer's report tonight a public hearing would be set for January 14, 1991. Testimony would be accepted at that public hearing. Mrs. Lowell explained that she had paid for the report, however, no one had told them what type of street should be constructed in that area. She noted several streets in the area constructed without concrete curb and gutter and asked what such items would be included in this street construction project. Mrs. Lowell said she felt she had been fair and reasonable and noted that the Council has varied street requirements in the past. Mayor Bisel explained that the Council must follow procedure since this improvement will be governed by state statute and the City Charter. The Council must act to accept the feasibility report first. Mrs. Lowell said that they are asking to lesser road requirements. Council Member Bohjanen moved to adopt Resolution No. 83 - 90 and PAGE 6 1 1 1
