LAKE ELMO COUNCIL MEETING - 7/19/83 Page 3 6. REID PARK BIDS (LAWCON) IMPROVEMENTS - Larry Bohrer explained that 6 bids were received as noted in his memo to the City Council dated 7/14/83. As described in "tabulation of bids" chart, low bidder was Mogren Bros Landscaping (but which was higher than $30,000 estimate when LAWCON grant was submitted one year ago). The LAWCON grant received for the work is a maximum of $14,000.00.(4o%) Unit prices in contract can be varied so scope of work can be reduced to fit budget. Contractor items can't be mixed. If cuts were to be made, he suggested No. 15 (eroded channel which needs rip rap). Also, Items 13 and 14 could be reduced in scope. Some of the work could be done by City such as with flail mower for brushing, but very little fits into City's capabilities. No Park Commission members were present to present their views. s Whittaker - match for LAWCON funds will have to come from Park Reserve - will have to see how it affects 5-year CIP. • Bohrer - When I walked area of Reid Park, would suggest that trails are not in the best location; should have working session with Park Commission and Council and trails should be marked out, measured, and cost estimated (could be less than projected). i Fraser - can we include alternate bid and eliminate rip rap and trails? (Bohrer - application of ballfield 1 came after we received the grants. Mogren site grading is $8,375-not $83.75.Total includes grading, seeding and mulching but no backstop, limerock, etc.) (Whittaker - budget is for $2,500 aid bid is $9,900. It would cost a lot more to have someone come in later and have it graded.) • Eder - think we should do whole thing, might take shifting of priorities. M/S/P Fraser/Eder to accept Mogren Bros Landscaping for both the total base bid items and Alternate bids and that the Engineer lower the cost of the base bid in manner suggested (Items 13, 14 aid 15). (4 ayes) 7. PUBLIC HEARING, COLOSIMO - Mayor Eder called the hearing to order at 7:50 to discuss Grace Colosimo's request to plat on unimproved street, proposed Isle Avenue (preliminary plat - The Meadows). e Bruce Folz made the presentation for subdivision of 3 lots--1.5 acres with garage, 1.5 acres, and 2.06 with Colosimo homestead, totaling about 5.5 acres of land. Soils are ideal for building and drainfield sites. Isle Avenue is presently owned by Howard Springborn and 12-15' field road exists; he is willing to dedicate a road easement of 66, to the City. Folz pointed out Springborn Green Acres plat where Isle Avenue had been proposed as through street. Isle Avenue cost if blacktopped would be shared by benefitting property owners Grace Colosimo and Tony Maistrovich (property owner on west side). • Mazzara - there has been concern expressed about drainage if road is paved. (Bohrer - would run off on shoulder ditches and into Springborn ponding areas so there's no affect on drainage. One concern is that drainage standards have changed sinceFoxfire and Springborn Green Acres were platted. These 3 lots would have to conform to Watershed district requirements so some pond contribution will have to be made.) • Fraser - What did Planning Commission have to say about 22' paved or graveled road? ( Folz - no formal recommendation was made since it's Council decision.) (Whittaker - they recommended that it be paved, the 22' was not discussed.) e Eder - Springborn is willing to deed property? (-Folz - yes, wanted to get proper legal description and he will sign over deed, has already dedicated the street for public use. Same status as Krause's Lot 8).
