Page 6 March 23, 1998 Mounds View City Council APPROVED Mayor McCarty stated he spoke with the City Engineer, and the County has indicated that they would be more than happy to take this road back and do the construction. This would be more cost effective. They will only do the center 24 feet that exists there now, with appropriate shoulder protection. They will not address problems. This would best serve the residents according to their desires. VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Mayor McCarty instructed staff to get in contact with Ramsey County and tell them of the City Council's decision. Dan Coughlin, 8468 Spring Lake Road, stated he received many, many letters and phone calls from residents in regard to this issue. He stated he would like to submit them to the city and have them entered for the minutes. He re-iterated that most residents would like to see the roadway remain at 24 feet with no curb and gutter. Barb McCalley, 7830 Spring Lake Road, stated she received a copy of the Title to her property and it states that the water level will remain at 903 feet above sea level, her property will not be flooded and it will be maintained by the County. If it is a city road, the city would have to take over that responsibility. This information was provided to her by the County Assessor's Office. If there is more run-off, the water • level will increase. She submitted a copy of the information for the records. Mayor McCarty stated he would really like to pursue the "garden type boulevards" as has been done in Maplewood. Scott Hinrichs, 7785 Spring Lake Road, stated he is a new resident to the community and would like to thank the City Council for listening to the residents. The project as proposed would have taken a good part of his front yard and he is happy with the Council's decision on the matter. Stan Brouillard, 3016 County Road I, thanked the Council for listening to the residents. He noted that he lives on the West end of County Road I and there is no easement or Right-of--Way on his property. He is hopeful that the County will keep the roadway at 24 feet, and asked how the residents will be notified of the County's intent to proceed with the construction of the road.
