Mounds View City Council March 8, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 13 <br /> <br />Mr. Ford asked what the setback for the sidewalk is because it looks close to the road when it 1 <br />gets past Groveland. He then asked when the next meeting on this item would be. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the assessment hearing and contract award would be 4 <br />held on May 24, 2004. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Council discussed the cul-de-sac on Oakwood and agreed that if the property owners wished to 7 <br />pay for the $96,000 that would be fine but the City will not contribute. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated he would be meeting with the property owner within the 10 <br />next week or so to see if they are interested in developing. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated the City has the opportunity to include the parking lot and 13 <br />realize a cost reduction by including it in the amount of $23,000. He then asked Council to 14 <br />consider the two proposed options for paving and striping the parking lot and noted the Park and 15 <br />Recreation Committee recommends the option with more parking spaces. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the cost of the reconstruction of the Lions Park parking 18 <br />lot would be split between Mounds View and Spring Lake Park. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Gunn indicated that when she drives by the park the parking lot is not full. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that this is before the Spring Lake Park Council next week. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Member Quick indicated he would like to hold off on the parking lot decision and see 25 <br />what Spring Lake Park does and see if the Lions have an interest in providing funds. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Mayor Linke indicated the Spring Lake Park Lions do not have funds available due to the 28 <br />dramatic changes in charitable gambling in the last few years. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Council Member Stigney said he prefers Option A because he does not think the five additional 31 <br />stalls is worth the additional dollars. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Council Member Gunn asked why the parking is encroaching on trees and the park. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated there will be other improvements occurring in this park in 36 <br />2004 such as the gazebo and fishing pier and it is anticipated that the use will increase with the 37 <br />improvements to the park. 38 <br /> 39 <br />The consent of Council is option one. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Council Member Quick asked whether the City will have to put in a pond for the park. 42 <br /> 43
