CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 2, 1982 -5- 9. MSA PROJECT - CONTINUED: --Fraser - reviewed the Council's direction to the Engineer to look at the whole roadway and determine how the least property could be taken and reasonable divide the area where property acquisition would be necessary. Believes the present alignment is as fair an alignment as possible from the point of view of using property. Previously it was heavily shifted property from the east. Now more equitable. -S. Raleigh -what is the proposed speed limit. --Bohrer design speed is 40 mph. Should be posted for this. -S. Raleigh -do State Aid Standards provide for limiting Keats to 40 mph, or do you have to start at 55 mph and petition down to 40. --Bohrer - no. The 4esign speed is set on the amount of traffic. Can select the design speed between 40 and 55 mph, Have selected 40. -S. Raleigh -questioning the intention not to put a culvert on the north side of the Payne driveway. Great deal of washing in this area - mistake not to include a culvert in E/W direction under Keats, north of Paynes driveway. Not one there now. --Bohrer - presently an existing culvert 200 ft. north of Paynes driveway: crossing in E/W direction. Proposed to replace this culvert with a larger one (18"). Fkesent cross culverts will be properly sized and replaced. --Bob Ziertman 10193 60th St. can,properties have as many entries as the owner is required to pay per lot. Bohrer - no reason why not. Planned to replace present entrances. If additional entrances would be requested the Council could ask this be provided. Would have a minimal effect on the cost of the project. Ziertman's presently have two entrances. Bohrer's only concern would have to look at the one closest to Hwy 36. There may be some regulations on the location of this one, --Dorothy Ziertman - entrance near 36 used for more than a field entrance. Questioned liability and right-of-way of slow moving vehicles.if hit by another vehicle. --Bohrer - if the vehicle is marked "slow moving vehicle" presumes liability would lie with the other vehicle. Legal question - does not know. Sight distance will be improved. --Ziertman - not clear exactly where the roadway is in relation to his property. Would like another meeting with the Engineer to clearly define the roadway. =-Dorothy Ziertman - how did you arrive at the cost per lot. --Bohrer - detailed estimates have been prepared, based on other bids for similar work - these figures are estimates, but are close to what the final costs and assessments will be. --Eleanor Raleigh - 5193 Keats - Larry Bohrer gave Mrs. Raleigh a breakdown of the road costs and the amount MSA funding will cover. He explained that a "lot" constitutes 1 driveway per 40 acre parcel in Ag, with figures based on present zoning. He explained that Ag Preserve status is not available yet,. Ag Preserve, though, will not exempt property from road or drainage assessments. Mrs, Raleigh stated she would like to see the entire project abandoned and leave the ® road as it is, a country road. --Steve Raleigh - how many lots will his mother be assessed for. --Bohrer - three lots. --Eleanor Raleigh - questioned the expense of filling in on her side of the road vs ditching and excavating down the area on the west side of the road.
