September 8, 1975
Attorney Meyers stated at the time the mobile home park was put in this street
was envisioned and residents in the area came in and objected not only to
the street but the park itself. Over the years it has been going along
alright, but the tornado illustrated that the one exit poses a hazard.
The City must provide fire, ambulance and police emergency service to the
park. There is no benefit to anyone other than the persons that
live in the park and owners of the property.
Mr. Johnson said he received a late notice on this assessment, and because
he has not had a chance to look at it, asked Council if this could be
tabled in order that he may look into some other recourse. He said they
are in the construction business and could possibly do the work themselves.
Councilman Shelquist asked what portion of the improvement cost is for
concrete curb and gutter.
Engineer Bearden stated $600.
Councilman Shelquist asked why this is required when none of the other
city streets have it.
Engineer Bearden said it was because it was proposed to be the same as the
existing streets in the trailer court. He said this is an estimated cost.
If the work could be done by the owner, the cost might be considerably less.
Mr. Johnson said the gate would probably be used only about once every
ten years, and for that reason he did not see any need for such a permanent
type street installation.
MSP (Johnson- Hodges) that proposed improvement be referred back to the
engineer and he and Mr. Johnson get together and discuss proposed
improvements and methods of effecting the improvement all of which should
encompass the gate.
Councilman Hodges retracted his second.
Mayor Johnson amended the motion to read results of negotiations are to
be reported back at the October 14,1975, meeting. Councilman Hodges
seconded the revised motion.
Mayor Johnson adjourned the special hearing at 9:15 p.m. and called the
regular meeting back to order.
Administrator Achen presented proposed Briar Lake major subdivision prelimi-
nary plat stating that Council had previously approved this plat but
that the 100 day period in which to file the final plat had lapsed.
It is a legal formality that this plat be reprocessed. He said Council
could approve the final and preliminary plat tonight, because a hearing
has been held previously.
