installation of a sidewalk along Groveland Road, details such as sidewalk width, side of the road, distance behind the curb, and construction material will need to be determined. Silver Lake Woods Condominiums – Dedication of Private Streets On May 6, 2002 the issue of dedication of private streets was discussed at a City Council Work Session. The City Council seemed to agree somewhat on the proposed policy: however, no action was taken. On July 11, 2002, Staff met with Cliff Ash and Mike Berke of the Silver Lake Woods Homeowners Association, outlining the requirements the City would be looking for in order to dedicate their streets to the City. The City received a proposed draft agreement for Public Dedication of Streets and Utilities, drafted by J. Patrick Brinkman of the law firm Felhaber, Larson, Fenlon, & Vogt dated December 2, 2002. A copy was also forwarded to the City’s legal counsel, Scott Riggs. Should this project proceed, and based on City Council’s direction, Staff will facilitate meetings with the Homeowners Association and their legal counsel to identify and discuss any and all issues associated with dedication of private streets. This has been recently placed on the March 8th City Council Meeting Agenda for further discussion. Oakwood Drive Cul-De-Sac As the feasibility reports states, costs for the construction of a standard cul-de- sac at the west end of Oakwood Drive are not included in the cost estimates at this time ($96,300.00). The installation of a standard cul-de-sac depends on whether the property owner at the end of the cul-de-sac is interested in developing additional lots. The cul-de-sac would also require the acquisition of additional right-of-way. Staff will be discussing this issue with the property owner. Hillview Road There is a portion of Hillview Road from Pleasant View Drive to Spring Lake Road where both the City of Mounds View and the City of Spring Lake Park share jurisdiction (Mounds View on the south side and Spring Lake Park on the north). To include this roadway segment in the project will require the execution of a Joint Powers Agreement between the two cities. An estimated total of $52,650 will be assigned to the City of Spring Lake Park. It has been reported that Spring Lake Park will be assessing the properties along the north side of Hillview Road according to their assessment policy. The City of Spring Lake Park has therefore set a Public Improvement Hear for their portion for March 1, 2004. Lakeside Lions Park – Parking Lot There is a proposal to look at the feasibility of upgrading the parking lot at the Lakeside Lions Parks as part of this project. Two parking layout options and associated costs estimates have been developed. These range from $149,500 to $161,000. This would be a shared financial cost for the Cities of Spring Lake
