-15- Mr. Smoka indicated he would like to see an estimate of what it would cost the . residents to construct a new street with the necessary curb and. gutter, drainage • and sidewalk repairs without MSA funding and was told that as soon as the appeal process is completed, another public hearing would be called, .with the same notifica- tion procedure followed as that evening, where.! the additional data would also be , available. The hearing was closed. at 10.:05 P.M. and recessed five minutes later for a discussion of the course of action to be followed by staff. W. Campbell clarified Mr. Kausel 's insistance that the street was actually 33 feet wide by saying he guessed the property owner was talking about ,a curb measurement "back to back" where the actual street 'surface is only 32 feet wide. He told Council- member Ranallo it was possible the, City's .ap ep al `could be heard in May an.d he perceived the chances of getting the variance would be "a long shot". He also confirmed for the Bulletin .reporter's, as, wel_1. as the -Council 's__,benefi-t, that-- MSA requirements for a. 36 foot wide street included parking, on one side and, _-though he questioned what the property owner's reaction might be to such. a p'roposal;,'the `engineer said there might be a possibility of getting- a variance for a 32,foot wide street with no parking on either side. Mr. Hamer said .the only reason the street width was maintained near the new bridge was that' the construction was already started before a question was raised. He also mentioned that the 10% penalty which had been discussed during the hearing would only be imposed on this year's allocation. - If the appeal is, not successful , Mr. Childs said, logistically the: City could. not • do the street -going past the golf course this year without getting into a very late fall construction. However, he said some of the work which has to be done on the Kenzie- Terrace medians might be MSA eligible and he suggested the Council authorize the engineers to. do a traffic flow,-study on that street related to the-median upgrading. Motion. by Councilmember Ranallo and seconded, by Councilmember Marks to authorize staff to start the appeal process to maintain a 32 foot street width for St . Anthony Boulevard. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilmember Makowske and seconded by Councilmember. Marks to authorize 'a preliminary study by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. for whatever median or road work might be necessary to support the new buildings on Kenzie Terrace. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilmember Ranallo and seconded by Councilmember Makowske to adjourn the meeting at 10:25 P.M. Motion carried unanimously.
