LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 1995 4 Rochelle McCune, 3107 Lake Elmo Avenue N., my driveway access is off Lake Elmo Avenue and the street behind me is not advantageous. There are two lots, but the one. is not a buildable lot. There is only one buildable lot which has the house on it, and we will only ever need one house on it. Larry Bohrer: This is an unique situation where you have a lot that is abutted by two sides of streets and you say there is no benefit to having a street from the other side. If this street project gets ordered, the council could look at those particular two lots to determine if there is any benefit at all. Craig Knoll, 3127 Laverne Ct. N., asked if there would be any curb work and how would we know we are getting the most for our money? There is a water entrapment problem at 31 st and Lake Elmo Avenue. I'm not questioning the need for the work to be done, the road is close to 30 years old. In my situation faced with this type of assessment over 3-5 years, I could not upgrade my driveway. Larry Bohrer:He is aware of the water problem, but there is no storm sewer in that vicinity. The corners are notorious for catching water. We can look at it and see what we can do. Jack Lee, 3084 Layton Ct., asked what would the interest charge be? Larry Bohrer:The city looks at what it would cost the city to borrow money to front end the project temporarily. There is some carrying charge on the part of the city. The city will look at the interest its paying, but believes there is an (up to) 8% interest limitation. Dave Olson, 3124 Layton Ct., asked if there are any thoughts when sewer is coming through. If sewer is eminent for the Old Village, would you delay this road Improvement. The street looks good, but there are some sections where the cul-de-sac was put in poorly. Will Christ Lutheran Church be assessed? Larry B'ohrer:I don't know of any plans at this time to make provisions for sewer. Even tax exempt property; such as, Christ Lutheran Church is subject to special assessment. PROJECT 5 - 32nd Street from Lake Elmo Avenue to Lampert Avenue Est. Cost:$6,500 Assessable Units:7.5 Est. Assessment Rate:$780 This is a narrow, rough street with considerable cracking and a 1-1/2" overlay is planned. Warren Schmidt, 3240 Lake Elmo Avenue N., I live on the corner lot and would raising the road make my yard a pond. The culvert under my driveway works fine now, but doesn't want water pushed into septic tank.
