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