5 2003 Street Improvement Project Sidewalks There are three additional sidewalk/pathway segments located within the area proposed for the 2003 Street Improvement Project Area. These are: • Groveland Road – from County Road I to County Road 10 • Knollwood Drive – from County Road H to County Road H2 • Woodcrest Drive – from Knollwood Drive to Silver Lake Road Staff would like direction from the City Council on these potential segments. They are included in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. If the City Council wishes to construct these segments, it would be advantageous to do so as part of the adjacent street project. WATER TOWER REHABILITATION The Water Tower Project has been completed. This included: interior structural changes, interior wet coating (partial replacement as recommended, including surface preparation and coating application), interior dry coating (spot surface preparation, as recommended, and paint application), and exterior coating system (complete power wash spot surface preparation, as prescribed, and touch-up paint application). The project went quite smoothly, without too many problem or issues. One item did cause some problems. During the time the lower two segments of the exterior column were being painted, Asian Lady Beetles flew onto the water tower and became embedded in the paint. To correct this, the contractor sanded and repainted these areas. WELL NUMBER 4 REHABILITATION Well Number 4 has been out of service since 1992, due to water quality issues. It is located at the southeast corner of Edgewood Drive and Hillview Road. The cost and issues of making it operational are being studied by the engineering firm of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson Inc. (SEH). A water quality analysis of the water contained within the aquifer from which Well Number 4 pumps was performed. The tests indicated that the contaminants can be effectively treated at Treatment Plant No. 1. A draft feasibility report, including cost estimates to bring Well No. 4 on line, will be submitted by December 24, 2003. Staff will present the draft report to City Council and seek direction for further action. MANUFACTURED HOME PARK ACCESS STUDY On October 6, 2003 all data collected pertaining to the manufactured home access study was presented to the City Council. On October 13, 2003 the City Council approved the feasibility reports for the manufactured Home Park second access. On November 3, 2003 Staff presented opinions from the City’s legal counsel pertaining this matter. These opinions stated that the City’s legal authority to require a second access is somewhat limited. Based on these opinions, the City will not be requiring a second access at the two parks that currently have only one access. However, City Council recognizes the merit of having a second access from a public safety and somewhat from a traffic circulation standpoint. They directed staff to work with the property owners to facilitate the construction of a second access if so desired. Staff will be meeting with the property manager of the Mounds View Manufactured Home Community to discuss his willingness to participate in such a project. TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 NOISE WALL AND BERMING PROJECT On July 14, 2003 the City Council approved Resolution No. 6052 authorizing the firm of Ulteig Engineers, Incorporated to assist in the preparation of plans and cost estimates for noise abatement measures (walls and berms) along Trunk Highway 10.
