Mounds View City Council February 12, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 3 Rene Johnson, 7385 Pleasant View Drive, explained her road was great, but noted the wings or flares at the end of the driveways that were installed were tearing apart her tires. She indicated the road was not wide enough and the fog lane had been removed. She commented on how it was now very difficult to make turns into her driveway because her driveway was narrower. Lynn Artesiger, 8180 Spring Lake Road, stated she drove a small car and she was having trouble making turns into her driveway. She noted she was told her driveway would be 13 feet wide and it is 10 feet wide. She requested this be fixed by the City. Cindy Clark, 8180 Spring Lake Road, indicated Spring Lake Road was wavy, especially in front of her house where a pipe was fixed. She anticipated this pipe was still not right. She understood some kind of vibration work would be done this spring to try and bring the pipe together. She reported she went 17 years with no water in her basement and after work began on the roadway her basement was flooded, in addition to having her water pipe busted off. She noted her sump pump ran all summer and there was little to no rain. Luke Edmond, 8407 Spring Lake Road, thanked the police department for their continued efforts with the buses along his roadway. He understood the Council may be tired of hearing about Spring Lake Road, but noted his driveway wings were incorrect as well. He reported last July he emailed public works regarding the popping at the end of his driveway. He believed the concrete work that was done was of poor quality. He stated he loved this City, but he wanted the work he paid for to be done property. City Administrator Zikmund explained the City had protections in place within the contracts. He indicated the warranty work concerns would be addressed in the spring and a lot of concrete would be replaced. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported Schifsky’s would be closing their doors this spring but their plants would still be available for asphalt. He stated he met with the contractor on Friday and noted the City has a contract in place with them through June, in order to address punch list and warranty work. He explained the pop outs were done in cold weather and proper measures were not taken. He indicated the State Aid inspector has walked Spring Lake Road and reported their concrete standards had not been met. He noted core samples were taken from the concrete and the lab confirmed proper cold weather standards were not followed. He indicated the contractor would be responsible for replacing all of this concrete. He reported he would continue to work with the contractor on the sewer line and vibration work would be done this spring to make the line level. He stated a slight sag may go forward in order to avoid digging up the entire street. He explained the City Attorney has been made aware of the situation with the contractor and their bond would be pulled if the concrete work was not properly completed. It was his understanding that Schifsky would be completing the concrete work later this spring when weather permits. Mayor Lindstrom requested staff take a look at the waviness of Spring Lake Road. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated this had been brought to his attention and he spoke with the City Engineer regarding this matter. He indicated the crown and watershed on this
