Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />warm up. He further said that he does not think that angled parking should be used there nor 1 <br />does he feel that a bump out is necessary. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Mayor Marty said that he feels that Option 1 with angled parking on the east side of Hillview 4 <br />with angled parking up near the park building seems to make the most sense. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Mayor Marty suggested allowing parking on both sides of the street from May through August 7 <br />from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson said that he would research the reason the no parking was specified 10 <br />and bring that information back to Council. He then suggested considering straight in stalls 11 <br />rather than angled parking as that would allow for three more stalls. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Joe Rhein, city Engineer from Bonestroo, indicated that straight in parking requires six additional 14 <br />feet of length. He then said that the Parks Supervisor has recommended Option 1. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Dale Aukee, of 2458 Sherwood Road, said that there would need to be some access on the west 17 <br />side of Hillview building for flooding of the ice rink because with the barrier curb the vehicles 18 <br />would not be able to drive over the curb. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Flaherty said that, if no one wants to discuss a parking lot, then his preferred 21 <br />option would be Option 1. He then said that he wants to make sure that City Staff has access to 22 <br />the park for whatever purpose so a curb cut of some sort will be needed. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Mayor Marty indicated that the cost of asphalt has more than tripled. He then said that less 25 <br />asphalt is being created so there are asphalt shortage which means the price continues to go up. 26 <br />That means that the street project costs may have doubled or more. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Council Member Stigney said that he would like to go with Option 1 for $28,700 whether there is 29 <br />a bituminous or concrete sidewalk should be dependent upon pricing. On Greenwood he said 30 <br />there should be no dollars spent for additional parking. 31 <br /> 32 <br />John Kroeger, 8280 Pleasant View Drive, said that in looking at the information, the costs for 33 <br />parking spots is the same for both options and then asked what costs went into the $71,000 34 <br />estimate. Joe Rhein indicated that the additional costs were for widening and bumping out the 35 <br />street. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Mayor Marty asked whether there would be enough room for a parking lane. 38 <br /> 39 <br />A resident commented that the road would be narrow without the bump out on Greenwood. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Staff asked for direction on how to proceed with a Resolution for Council to consider. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Council Member Hull recommended Option 1 and asked Staff to prepare the information for 44 <br />consideration. 45
