PUBLIC HEARING, FRIEDRICH HEIGHTS - (REF: Bohrer letter dated 6/24/83 to Mr. Whittaker re "Jamaca Court Improvements, Lake Elmo, Minnesota, commission No. 7113-83). Bohrer reviewed the proposal considered in Jan/Feb 1983 and said that same improvements are being considered. Cost has increased due to smaller project ($1,324 in lieu of $1,106 per lot). i Carol Kuettner - When this is done, will we be sure the water no longer stands on curb? (Bohrer - crown will be created on road.) • Ron Dornfeld - What is sub -base? (Bohrer - not too good, 2" gravel over top soil, maintenance has tried to dig out areas and putting in more gravel. By replacing completely with blacktop, will get away from contraction/expansion.) 9 Carol Baglio - What would life expectancy be before conditions repeated itself? (Bohrer - hard to answer; we don't know accurately what's under blacktop, should be a good 10 years before any more corrective work is done. City has adopted 6-year sealcoating program which would be 6 years from now.) o Ron Dornfeld - project would be amortized over how long a period? (Eder - this is something we have to arrive at, assessment procedure still has not been proposed.) (Whittaker. - latest interest rate was 9% for bonds, could be assessed for 5-10 years, probably 5 years. There'll. be assessment hearing if this is approved where your ideas and opinions will be heard.) 9 Bohrer - Bartell's lots are included as one lot because of equal benefit, also 66' lot is treated as one lot. 0 Morgan - What is total length of project? (Bohrer - 1,100 feet.) • Judy Bartell - We only use Jamaca Avenue but never side road so can't see being assessed for it. * Morgan - How many lots are represented by petition? (Whittaker - 7 families or 48% of frontage on streets.)
