The City considered doing an overlay project on the streets a few <br />years ago, but the residents were not in favor of the project. The Council asked that the <br />project be reviewed closer. Tom Prew explained that a cost estimate was developed for <br />doing a complete reconstruction and also performing a less costly reclaim and overlay. I1 <br />was determined that a simple overlay would not adequately address the street or drainage <br />problems in this area. <br />Scott Renne, appraiser, looked at the neighborhood to see how much the property values <br />would increase as a result of an improvement project. His estimate was $2,500 per site. <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 15, 2003 6 <br />
