Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 4 . warm up. He further said that he does not think that angled parking should be used there nor does he feel that a bump out is necessary. Mayor Marry said that he feels that Option 1 with angled parking on the east side of Hillview with angled parking up near the park building seems to make the most sense. Mayor Many suggested allowing parking on both sides of the street from May through August from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m. Clerk Administrator Ericson said that he would research the reason the no parking was specified and bring that information back to Council. He then suggested considering straight in stalls rather than angled parking as that would allow for three more stalls. Joe Rhein, city Engineer from Bonestroo, indicated that straight in parking requires six additional feet of length. He then said that the Parks Supervisor has recommended Option 1. Dale Aukee, of 2458 Sherwood Road, said that there would need to be some access on the west side of Hillview building for flooding of the ice rink because with the barrier curb the vehicles would not be able to drive over the curb. Council Member Flaherty said that, if no one wants to discuss a parking lot, then his preferred • option would be Option 1. He then said that he wants to make sure that City Staff has access to the park for whatever purpose so a curb cut of some sort will be needed. Mayor Marty indicated that the cost of asphalt has more than tripled. He then said that less asphalt is being created so there are asphalt shortage which means the price continues to go up. That means that the street project costs may have doubled or more. Council Member Stigney said that he would like to go with Option 1 for $28,700 whether there is a bituminous or concrete sidewalk should be dependent upon pricing. On Greenwood he said there should be no dollars spent for additional parking. John Kroeger, 8280 Pleasant View Drive, said that in looking at the information, the costs for parking spots is the same for both options and then asked what costs went into the $71,000 estimate. Joe Rhein indicated that the additional costs were for widening and bumping out the street. Mayor Marty asked whether there would be enough room for a parking lane. A resident commented that the road would be narrow without the bump out on Greenwood. Staff asked for direction on how to proceed with a Resolution for Council to consider. • Council Member Hull recommended Option 1 and asked Staff to prepare the information for consideration.
