Honorable Mayor, City Council,and Staff <br /> October 15, 2002 <br /> Page 2 <br /> This spring, the residents voiced concerns associated with the steepness of their driveway, <br /> .and in particular, that during winter conditions the driveway is slippery and cars, as well as <br /> people have slid down the driveway. We have reviewed the driveway situation and found <br /> the driveway not to be extraordinarily steep. There are a number of driveways within St. <br /> Anthony Village that are considerably steeper than the one currently located at 2616 Pahl <br /> Avenue: Based on our review, we do.not believe that the property warrants a change in <br /> conditions and that it can be adequately managed in the wintertime through routine snow <br /> and ice removal. <br /> However, the residents are requesting that the City of St. Anthony give consideration to <br /> removing the existing driveway and constructing a new driveway that would approach the <br /> garage from the south off of the existing alley, and to reposition the garage door opening <br /> from the east side of the house to the south.side, thus facing the alley. <br /> Additionally, the residents have issued concerns over rocks that have been popping from <br /> the concrete surface over the last couple of years. We have reviewed the driveway and <br /> found that there are a number of locations where the rocks have popped out of the concrete <br /> surface. We do not feel that the rock popping is excessive, thus warranting a total <br /> replacement of the driveway. The location where the rocks have popped can be filled with <br /> an epoxy solution that we can install at the resident's request. <br /> If you have any questions, please call me at 763-287-7182. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> WSB & Associates, Inc. <br /> Todd E.
