Mounds View City Council Page Seven <br /> 11Oular Meeting July 27, 1992 <br /> Mayor Linke asked the Councilmembers if they would be okay with holding <br /> off on this item until near the end of the meeting_ The item would not <br /> be officially tabled. The applicant may have assumed the meeting would <br /> be long like the last meeting and would come later. <br /> Councilmember Wuori stated she had no problem with moving the item to <br /> later if some action were formally taken before the end of the meeting. <br /> Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, joined the meeting at <br /> approximately 8:00 p.m. <br /> Mayor Linke asked Mr. Minetor at this time to present his update on Long <br /> Lake Road. Mayor Linke stated there were some residents in the audience who <br /> had concerns with what size the sidewalk would be. <br /> Minetor stated the following with regards to Long Lake Road: <br /> • Williams Pipeline Company will put new pipeline from <br /> County Road H to south of County Road J. The pipeline <br /> will be placed three feet within the right-of-way which <br /> will improve safety conditions. The pipe should be <br /> delivered this week and Williams will begin this week or <br /> • next. <br /> • Northern States Power (gas) is behind schedule as they have just <br /> begun work. <br /> ▪ Until Williams Pipeline and Northern States Power finish <br /> the utility work Schaeffer Construction, general road contractor, <br /> can't begin their work. Schaeffer will not begin their work for <br /> two to three weeks. This is a two year project. Some work will <br /> be done this summer and some next summer. The County Road H2 and <br /> County Road I watermain crossing on Highway 10 is scheduled to be <br /> put in this year. <br /> The plans approved and bisd on are for a 71-sidewalk. The <br /> 7' sidewalk would be on the west side of T.ong Lake Road. <br /> Normally when sidewalks are installed they are 5' wide <br /> on both sides of the road. With the sidewalk only on wide <br /> side the extra width is needed for safety purposes with <br /> bicycles and walkers. 7' is only two feet wider than the <br /> standard sidewalk. <br /> Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated that he objects to the <br /> 7' wide sidewalk. Most of the neighbors that he has spoken to <br /> don't have a problem with the sidewalk. Mr. McCarty indicated that <br /> his wife is in favor of the sidewalk, infact. Mr. McCarty stated <br /> he understands that for maintenance and equipment the width is <br /> 410 needed. Mr. McCarty stated that he knows this Council will not be <br /> around forever and if the next Council comes in and chooses to no <br />
