CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 1, 1983 we T. ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Sinclair ShorE t Con Discussion: �-Morgan - this is the best proposal of any of the questionable lots presented and approved by the Council during the past year. --Mazzara - would like to see a compromise between the DNR and Mr. Sinclair reached. --Fraser - approving these variances will make it more difficult to administer the zoning regulations in the future. Motion carried 3-1. Fraser opposed. B. 1983 StreetR'ehabil'itation Program - Engineer -Rohrer reported on%the public hearing. He noted that the Council has three options - proceed with the project as proposed, amend the method of constructing the improvements, per suggestions from residents at the public hearing, or abandon further consideration of the project. Bohrer concurred with the Administrator's statement that the design,sugg.ested in the Feasibility Report was the minimum design recommended. Not all.of-the cracked areas.were.proposed to be patched - "spot repair"was planned for the worst areas with the overlay bridging other dracked-up failed areas. By not constructing the overlay, many areas of cracked -up blacktop would be left and would not have any proposed repair. City has a rotating seal coating program - these streets would have been up for seal coating had they been suitable for seal coating in 1982, 1983 or 1984. A suggested means of minimizing the cost impact on adjacent property owners might be to apply the cost of an equivalent seal coat as a City participation in the project. This would result in about a 10% cost reduction.to the property owners. --Morgan - suggested delaying the question until the full Council was present. The Council acknowledged receipt of petitions from Tablyn Park, Bordner -Garner Farmettes, Kendridge Addition and Friedrich Heights opposing the project. --Mazzara - driven --through the areas in question - Tablyn Park has some bad areas, but thinks the majority of the roadway is in reasonably good condition. Biggest concern is the Jamaca Ct. (Friedrich Heights) area. This area looks in very bad shape - would suggest going along with the Engineers recommendation for this area and modifying the improvements in the other three areas to spot repair and seal coating. --Sharon Dornfeld, Jamaca Ct. - not dissatisified with the condition of the road. For the amount of traffic that uses this road, residents do not feel $1,000 per household warrants the extent of proposed improvement. --Fraser - Administrator's comments.in his February 25. 1983, Agenda memo were well considered and well taken Listened to the tape of the public hearing noted resident concern about lack of .past`maintenance that resulted in the present repair needs. Engineer's report clearly shows that the areas with the least amount of break-up and repair now are the least expensive to repair- as, those with the most disrepair have the most expense - this says if the project is delayed where it is already needed then the cost will be much greater later on.
