LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 PAGE 6 i Mr. Madson, who was unavailable for this Council meeting, but can appear at a later meeting, had submitted the recommendations from the Committee. M/S/P Moe/Graves - to table the Water System Advisory Committee Report until the October 4th City Council meeting. (Motion carried 4-0). 9. Striping of Streets Mayor Christ has talked to several of his neighbors and they do not want 36th Street striped because of its general local nature and due to the fact it is a dead-end street. Larry Bohrer stated the City adopted a policy for striping streets on August of 1987. The City will stripe center line stripes on all streets classified as collectors on the City's functional classification map and to provide center line striping on those local streets which due to some standard width or limited visabili.ty would benefit from such striping. Two calls have been received requesting that 42nd St., between Lake Jane Trail and Jamaca, not be striped. This (42nd Street) is classified as a collector street on our functional classification map. Therefore, Bohrer recommended we continue to follow our policy and r.estripe 42nd Street. Bohrer stated the was a reason for recommending 36th Street to striped was that there was a fairly steep hill by Arlyn's driveway and trees and bushes along the street could cause cars to swurve over the centerline. Also, the centerline stripe does aid the maintenance crew when they are snowplowing. The City Attorney was asked to comment on the City's liability if there is no striping. The Council decided no striping be done subject to a legal opinion stating there is no liability on behalf of the City for not striping on the local street and a petition is signed by 75% of the residents on 36th Street and 37th Street requesting their streets not be striped. If the legal opinion comes back that there is some kind of liability, these streets will be striped. M/S/P Moe/Graves - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 8:30 p.m. (Motion carried 4-0).
