Mayor McCarty opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. Mike Ulrich, Director of Public Works, gave a general overview of the Spring Lake Road/County Road I Reconstruction Project. He noted that at the last Council work session, staff presented a memo and staff report to the council outlining different options that might be available should they want to revise the assessment policy. Barbara Haake, 3024 County Road I, took this opportunity to address the responses from Short Elliott Hendrickson on comments made by residents within the street reconstruction project area. Mr. Dan Coughlin, 8468 Spring Lake Road, summarized information which he presented to the Council in regard to this project. He noted that he had contacted Duane Haakenson of Frattalone Paving, Inc. to obtain a good faith estimate for the reconstruction of Spring Lake Road/County Road I, using various scenarios. Mr. Haakenson was asked to provide ahigh-end estimate, using top quality materials. Mr. Coughlin went through the estimate, noting that a 24 foot wide roadway without curb and gutter, including a 2 foot gravel area on each side for a reinforced shoulder would be approximately $477,500. A 26 foot wide road would be $509,000; and a 28 foot wide road would be $547,000. He proceeded to outline the benefits of reconstructing the roadways to their current size and scope without the curb and gutter as opposed to a 30 foot wide road. He noted that if the project is kept to a minimum, it may be possible to proceed with the reconstruction in 1998. Kurt Sleighter, 2924 County Road H2, stated he feels the outcome of this project could set a precedent for • what will happen to his roadway in the upcoming years. He noted that he purchased his home in Mounds
