(1) Stillwater Lane This street is currently concrete surfaced over a majority of its length and is in poor condition. As a test project, the City overlaid a three hundred -foot section of it two years ago. To date, the bituminous has shown no sign of premature break up. Prew is recommending a 1 %:-inch bituminous leveling mix for 2500-foot length of this street and 1 %a -inch bituminous wear course over the entire street, excluding the test project section. Gravel shoulders would also be constructed. Mayor John opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. in the Council chambers Bob Taverna, 10174 Stillwater Lane, explained from Kelvin to the west, the shoulders are blacktop to the end of his driveway. The water comes down onto his driveway because it is the low point and asked if the engineer could take a look at it. Miriam Bergmark, 10032 Stillwater Lane, asked how does the City assess. City Engineer Tom Prew explained the assessment policy. (Copies of the assessment policy were made available to residents.) Pat Dean, 8028 Hill Trail N., asked what if sewer comes in, how would the City assess the residents. Would assessments be different for overlays? Does this start a precedent? Administrator responded there are no plans for sewer. The City can only assess the cost of project to the extent of the benefit received. Mayor John closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m (2) 10fl' Street Lane This street is currently in very poor condition. Instead of an overlay, Prew recommended cold milling the existing surface and recycling it in place as gavel based. Additional gavel would be added as necessary. A 2-inch thick 22-foot wide bituminous surface would be constructed over its 800-foot length. Gravel shoulder would also be constructed. Mayor John opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. in the Council chambers There were no comments received. Mayor John closed the public hearing at 7:46 p.m. (3) Jamley Avenue N. Jamley Avenue is approximately 1800-feet long and about 20-feet wide. There is significant cracking along the entire length, and it has reached the stage where it is in need of an overlay. A 2-inch thick overlay is proposed. Earth shoulders would also be constructed. Mayor John opened the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. in the Council chambers Russ Loetscher, 3053 Jamley Avenue N., explained he has a problem with runoff and drainage. The ditch is real high and his property takes on water and ends up with a large lake in his front yard. Elizabeth Arco, 2809 Jamley Avenue N., asked why does Jamley Avenue have to be repaired now. She understands the road was never done properly. Prow responded it is time for an overlay now and doesn't want to wait for the street to become in worse shape. Mayor John closed the public hearing at 7:50 p.m LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 5, 1998
