Mounds View City Council February 27, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br />meander around them, but it could be more of an adverse affect for the homeowners. He <br />suggested the City could try and work out a way if a tree has to be taken out by perhaps replacing <br />it with two to three other trees to create a screening area if the property owners wanted. <br />Councilmember Gunn asked what would happen if the property owner wanted to save their trees <br />and is willing to have the sidewalk go around it. <br />Director of Public Works Lee replied it is a possibility, but with the slopes in certain areas and <br />the farther away from the road the sidewalk is, there will be more of an impact to the front yards. <br />He commented the City has been successful with past projects, and will work closely with <br />property owners with this project to meet both the needs and expectations of the property owners <br />as well as the needs of the City in the future. <br />MOTION/SECOND: MARTY/FLAHERTY. To waive the reading and adopt Resolution 6756 <br />Approving the Feasibility Report, Ordering the Project, Authorizing Plan and Specifications, <br />Authorizing Easement Preparation Activities for the Silver Lake Road Sidewalk Improvement <br />Project. <br />Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 8:11 p.m. <br />Director of Public Works Lee asked if the Council wants the feasibility report to be amended to <br />look into the feasibility of having the sidewalk on the east side of County Road I. He asked if <br />further direction in terms of the lighting and asked if estimated costs should be included. <br />The Council stated that it should. <br />Councilmember Stigney asked if the sidewalk would not detour through the park, and whether it <br />will be either a concrete or bituminous surface, if it would be advantageous to look at what a <br />wooden structure would be going through there. <br />Director of Public Works Lee stated he did not know offhand what the exact dollars are, but it <br />was discussed earlier on when the feasibility report was studied. He explained it was <br />astronomical compared to what is planned now for both construction and maintenance. <br />Councilmember Stigney stated it is also expensive to straighten out the trail, so it would not hurt <br />to calculate the cost of the wooden structure since it would have less impact on the wetlands. <br />Director of Public Works Lee responded Staff can give a rough approximation. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />D.
