LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 3, 1993 6 Charles Anastasi, 5850 Highlands Trail, disagreed with the 10/90 split because Highlands Trail carries all the traffic. He suggested money be placed into the budget to cover street maintenance rather than assessing. D. Herum, 5960 Highlands Trail, asked why are we being charged. Her taxes went up 30%. She doesn't see any problem with the road. There is only one bad spot which is across from the park. H. Highlands Court Total Units: 8, Assessment Rate: $1,238 Bohrer explained this street was constructed in 1979 and has extensive cracking. R. Wissink, 5777 Highlands Trail Court, represents three units of the eight to be assessed. There are three buildable lots, but all three are homestead and belong to him so he doesn't see any benefit from the road. He has looked at the street and doesn't see any alligator cracks. There is no need for a overlay. Gary Peltzer, 5747 Highlands Trail Court, indicated this court has low volume traffic because there is only five houses on this street. It is generally in fairly good shape and only needs spot repair. Alice Johnson, 5750 Highlands Trail Court, felt the whole cul-de-sac is full of alligator cracks. The decision to overlay should be made by the professional engineer and not just us, as non -engineers, looking at the street. When you look at the intersections on Hwy 36, we are in Mahtomedi school district and travel that road twice a day. E.Gores, 5737 Highlands Trail Court, lives at the end of cul-de-sac and felt the road is in good shape. Patching would be more than sufficient. Mayor John closed the public hearing at 9:15 p.m. I. 20th Street Court Total Units: 3, Assessment Rate: $1,233 Bohrer explained this street has extensive cracking. Mayor John opened up the public hearing at 9:25 P.M. The public hearing notice was published in the May 25 and June 1, 1993 Stillwater Gazette. All property owners affected by the proposed assessments were notified.
