LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL, MINUTES MAY 16, 1989 PAGE 5 $66,550. It was proposed that the entire cost of the project be assessed, i to abutting properties. Harvey Gleason, 8311 Lake Jane Trail, explained his back property abuts 30th St. and his driveway is on Lake Jane Trail and asked if he would pay the same assessment. Bohrer answered this was a unique situation, it was not a corner lot, but it was a lot that had more than one side fronting on a road. The Engineer advised he would review this situation. Gary Wright, 8225 39th St., favored the project, but felt the road was in this condition because of lack of maintenance in the past and asked. the City Engineer to address this situation. Bohrer responded that normal city maintenance is a program where most streets are sealcoated every 6 years. When he first studied these streets in 1983 they had gone beyound the point that a sealcoat would help --it would not glue back the broken pieces. The patches were of such an extent that it was beyond the capabilties of the three man crew we have for maintenance. Based on the fact that maintenance was not done, Wright asked if there was any funding to help with this project. Realizing there were spots in the road that could not have been saved, Jim Demko, 3929 Innsdale Avenue N., felt in 1983 even a sealcoat would have helped the rest of the road. Demko had not decided if he was in favor of a project or not. Kathy Landucci, 8312 38th St. N., stated she was in favor of the street project, but would like a maintenance plan. Councilman Hunt asked the engineer what was the expected life of a road surface. Bohrer answered this type of a patch and overlay is a lower cost alternative than rebuilding a complete road. He did not know what was under the road nor how it was constructed many years ago. Based on past practice, since 1983, they have done streets like this and these streets are in the 6 year maintenance program, Bohrer would predict a surface life of about 10 years. Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. M/S/P Graves/Williams - to adopt Resolution 89-30 Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans for 38th Street, 39th Street, and Innsdale Avenue East of Ideal.
