COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 13, 2003 APPROVED •229 City Engineer Studenski indicated the delays have been two -fold. Because this street goes down the 230 boundary of Centerville and Lino Lakes they had to work through boundary issues. He indicated the 231 costs have been high, and they ended up going back to redesign the project, at which time they had to 232 re -submit to both cities and hold additional hearings. He stated they had to set up a Joint Powers 233 agreement as well. He noted it took them until last fall to get that far, then they had to get approvals 234 from the Rice Creek Watershed District. He indicated Staff does not feel the degradation was just 235 from the delay of the last few years. He stated the City has tried to take corrective measures with the 236 street but they have not held up so there are many corrective measures to take now. 237 238 Mr. Bourassa indicated they would like the opportunity to review the inspection documents to see 239 what was built up. Mayor Bergeson stated those would be public records so there is no problem with 240 making them available for review. 241 242 Mr. Bourassa stated the second clarification is on the assessment calculation. He indicated he 243 understands the assessment was calculated on Outlot A also, and questioned if they are being 244 assessed, why the roadway is not constructed to the end of the property. City Engineer Studenski 245 stated that again, it is one of the cost-saving measures. He indicated the road is benefitting Outlot A 246 but as a cost saving measure they pulled the road back. He stated they could review that again. Mr. 247 Bourassa stated their position would be that if they are being assessed for that lot they would like a 248 roadway. 249 250 Tom Rudy, Mr. Rehbein's attorney stated he could speak to the issue of the sewer line that was put •251 in. He indicated it was oversized at the request of the City. He indicated when Dairy Queen went in, 252 it was approximately a $670,000 job. The sewer line was put in under Main Street, and constructed 253 to City standards and under City inspection. 254 255 Joan Tschida, Clearwater Creek Convenience Center, indicated she objects to the project, and feels 256 $81,000 for her parcel of land is horrendous. She does not see how it adds $81,000 of value to the 257 property, and she has reserved her right to litigate. She was promised a road in 1998, and met with 258 both City Councils at that time. She stated if the road had been done then it would not cost this much 259 now. 260 261 A representative of the owners of the Dairy Queen property spoke, and indicated the businesscame in 262 during 2000, at which time they had a blacktop road. He stated one time last spring there was a foot 263 and a half of water on the road, and his customers were going elsewhere. He believes the City 264 received good bids. He stated the road has been allowed to deteriorate and cannot go further. He 265 stated he believes that saying his business does not suffer is ludicrous. He stated the Council can say 266 it is a Centerville road, but Lino Lakes collects his property taxes and it is time to vote and get this 267 road done. 268 269 James Kozar stated he is across the street. He indicated his understanding is they will elevate the 270 road, and asked for further explanation. City Engineer Studenski stated regarding Main Street there 271 are no specific plans to elevate, but Anoka County is starting their process. He indicated Anoka 272 County is proposing the road be pushed north to mitigate impact, but the amount they will raise the 073 road is unknown. 274
