to the Launching Pad. 5 Ayes
Councilman Johnson inquired as to whether or not the lingerie shows advertised on
the sign was a different company than before and Mr. Hartinger stated that it was.
Councilman Johnson also asked if they now had a guard at the door checking ID's
and Mr. Hartinger answered that they had two - one up and one down.
John Bluhm, 7832 Bona Road presented a petition for a sidewalk along County Road I
from Long Lake Road to Pinewood School. The petition was initiated because School
District #621 has decided not to transport 4, 5, and 6th grade students who live
a mile or less from school. Mayor Neisen asked if this represented 35% of the
people. Mr. Bluhm stated he had 150 signature of people whose children would walk
along County Road I.
MS ,(Hodges- Baumgartner) To receive the petition and to direct the office to check
residents that would be using this sidewalk to Pinewood School within one mile,
to get an estimate of the percentage and to forward to DeaneAnklan a copy of
the petition asking what effect sidewalks would have along the County Road.
Mr. Bluhm inquired about who would be assessed for it. Mayor Neisen stated there
has been no precedence set, this would have to be decided - perhaps the involed
residents would be assessed. It has not been discussed before and a public hearing
would have to be held.
Mr. Johnson a resident commented that there no doubt would be the same problem
at Red Oak School on Long Lake Road.
Mayor Neisen stated they would want all information by the next Council Meeting.
He asked Mr. Comstock to get some estimates of what sidewalks are running and send
out one of his Engineers to see what else would have to be done to County Road I.
Also to talk to DeaneAnklan to see what would be involed from his end of it. He
stated we couldn't go on the north side since that is the St. Paul Water Works line
and the south side is a drainage easement and storm sewer would have to be put in
there.
Mr. Bluhm suggested talking to the St. Paul Water Works to see if an asphalt walk
could be put over the water line. This would be cheaper than cement. Mayor Neisen
said the matter would be checked into and reported at the next meeting.
Attorney Meyers stated a boundary would have to be decided so the Clerk's Office
could check if the petition contained 35% of affected people. It was decided
Bronson Drive to Hillview Road, and Long Lake Road to Quincy Street would be the
most affected area. Councilman Johnson suggested that perhaps the City Engineer
should sit down and draw a map like our storm sewer maps with a one mile circum-
ference so that the whole problem could be checked into.
Attorney Meyers said they may want to consider all the schools if they are going
to set up a policy and put it on the tax rolls. We should consider all the areas
that might want sidewalks.
