LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 3, 1993 3 <br />minimum of 10 years and could easily last as long as the <br />original pavement that has been put on. <br />Will Hirsch, 4689 Birch Bark Trail, asked if you didn't do <br />this overlay this year, when would you have to do it. <br />Bohrer: Roads do not deteriorate in a linear fashion. If it <br />were left until next year, there would be more base <br />preparation before an overlay could be done. It's a twofold <br />investment: one is to repair the damage that is already <br />there; second, is to preserve what is there that has not yet <br />got to the point of deterioration. <br />John Branegan, 8260 Deer Pond Trail, questioned the <br />methodology of payment. He has lived in five different <br />houses and never had a street assessment. He felt it was <br />time for the city to take another look at assessing streets. <br />The city should decide how much they need for street <br />maintenance and then put it in the budget. Its a detriment <br />to live on a wide street and a very busy road. <br />Councilman Johnson pointed out that property owners should <br />contact city hall identifying specific erosion problems. <br />Mayor John closed the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. <br />B. 37th Street (west of Jamaca) <br />Total Units: 11, Assessment Rate: $827 <br />Larry Bohrer explained that work was postponed on this <br />street until the SW-1 watermain project was completed. This <br />street is at the stage where if an overlay is not done soon, <br />a complete reconstruction will be necessary. <br />Mayor John opened up the public hearing at 8:01 p.m. The <br />public hearing notice was published in the May 25 and June <br />1, 1993 Stillwater Gazette. All property owners affected by <br />the proposed assessment were notified. <br />There was no one to speak for or against the proposed <br />assessments. <br />Mayor John closed the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. <br />C. Kraft Circle <br />Total Units: 8, Assessment Rate: $688 <br />Bohrer explained this street has extensive cracking. <br />Mayor John opened up the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. The <br />public hearing notice was published in the May 25 and June <br />1, 1993 Stillwater Gazette. All property owners affected by <br />the proposed assessments were notified. <br />
