LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 1995 3 Dan Coyle, 5430 Highlands Trail, when the cable company came through installing cable, I called the city to come out and look at the street because that is the reason why our road has deteriorated. Wherever they put cable boxes, they burrowed under the road and heaved the road and now at every spot it is cracked. After the city has fixed the spots that are bad, will you be coming out to inspect the road before it is overlaid. Larry Bohrer:Either the preparation would be done by the city crews or contracted. If the work is done by the city crews, that would be under the jurisdiction of the Maintenance Foreman Dan Olinger. If it is contracted out, it would be himself or one of his assistants with the contractor. When the overlays are done, they will be out there full time. Larry Feldhahn, 7898 DeMontreville Trail N., asked if the city would be buying a potential problem with the city doing the below work and the contractor doing the above work. On a large job like this, could you contract and get a good price for driveway work. Larry Bohrer: It has been my experience that the type of .contractor who gets this kind of work generally does not care to do private work. He would not have any objection to homeowners contacting the low bidder once he is known to see if they would be interested in doing that type of work. However, contractually requiring him to perform that work upon request would be ( difficult --he would not want to combine private work with public work. PROJECT 4 - Meyers Park Subdivision Est. Cost:$26,500 Assessable Units:29 Est. Assessment Rate:$822 Some work to improve drainage will be necessary on the 31st Street cul-de-sac. A 1- 1/2" overlay is planned. There is also a need to look at adding bituminous curb along some stretches of roadway where residents have placed timber curbs. The culvert in Laverne Court may need to be replaced. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp - to accept the letter from Donald and Snowell Raleigh, 3074 Laverne Ct. N., supporting the street project to overlay Laverne Ct. N. because they feel the work is necessary and accept a letter from John and Lucille Zignego, 3081 Laverne Ct., supporting this project 100%. (Motion passed 4-0). Wes McCune, 3095 Lake Elmo Avenue N., my access is off Lake Elmo Avenue and I'm going to be assessed for what is on the backside of my lot which I cannot use as a driveway to access my home. I should not have to pay for this assessment because I don't derive any benefit. The city uses both (his and Rochelle's) of our properties for a drainage ditch.
