1 *the street would cost $158.00 per running foot for 2,800 feet <br />2 of which $26.10 a foot or $72,780 for each side could be <br />3 assessed under City policy if the City assessed the two abutting <br />4 property owners for 2,800 feet on each side of the street. <br />5 Assessing the Minneapolis Park Board for the Gross Golf Course <br />6 property on the east side was then explored. Mr. Soth's response was <br />7 to suggest the legal ramifications of that course of action should be <br />8 explored during an executive session. <br />9 Councilmembers Perceive Necessity for Rebuilding Road Irrefutable <br />10 Councilmember Marks concurred that the above was true, but said he <br />11 feared the new roadbed would just encourage a "racetrack" along the <br />12 Boulevard. Chief Hickerson indicated his officers would be exercising <br />13 increased vigilance to maintain the speed limit on the street. <br />14 Construction Timetable to be Speeded U <br />15 Councilmember Ranallo said he knew the Liquor Manager was very <br />16 apprehensive about loss of Stonehouse revenues during the period the <br />17 road is shut down and asked the Project Engineer whether the construc- <br />18 tion timetable of two months could possibly be reduced to six weeks or <br />19 less. Mr. Robertson told him the two months deadline included sodding <br />20 restoration and work which would not require the roadway to be shut <br />21 down. He indicated that, barring bad weather, since this was not a <br />22 residential area, it might be possible to have the crews work longer <br />23 days than normal. <br />24 Mr. Hamer agreed that strict rules could be laid down during the <br />25 preconstruction conferences with the contractor to avoid the type of <br />26 delays encountered by Ramsey County when they rebuilt County Road D. <br />27 Noting the absence of abutting property owners, Mr. Childs pointed <br />28 out that an assessment hearing would have to be held later. <br />29 The hearing was closed at 8:20 P.M. <br />30 Council Action <br />31 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Marks to adopt the resolution which <br />32 orders the reconstruction of the portion of St. Anthony Boulevard <br />33 south of the Burlington Northern bridge for $443,000 as per the <br />34 Council's December 8, 1987 resolution and to direct Rieke Carroll <br />35 Muller Associates, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for making <br />36 such improvements. <br />37 RESOLUTION 88-007 <br />38 A RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND <br />39 PREPARATION OF PLANS <br />40 Motion carried unanimously. <br />6 <br />
