City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 11, 2009 Page 3 1 Councilmember Stille asked what side of Silver Lane the streetlights and sidewalks will be 2 located on the west side of Silver Lake Road. Mr. Hubmer replied that the sidewalks and 3 streetlights will be located on the south side of the road, although they may decide to alternate 4 the pattern on the streetlights. He noted there have been several concerns regarding walkers on 5 this road. 6 7 Councilmember Stille inquired about the streetlights that will be included in the project. Mr. 8 Hubmer indicated that the decorative standard will be applied to the streetlights in accordance 9 with the resolution previously adopted by the Council. 10 11 Councilmember Stille questioned if there have been any issues associated with the cost sharing 12 on this project. Mr. Hubmer replied that staff is working closely with Roseville on Silver Lane. 13 New Brighton has a different process than St. Anthony with feasibility reports. They will present 14 the report to their Council and draft their own feasibility report to meet their format and present 15 it to their Council in the next several months. 16 17 Councilmember Stille asked if there have been any pressure issues with the water main in the 18 area of this project. Mr. Hubmer replied that the project will definitely provide more flow. 19 20 Councilmember Stille questioned if the additional soil borings that had been requested have been 21 completed. Mr. Hubmer replied that borings have been done; the packets have not been received 22 from the boring company yet. 23 24 Mayor Faust stated the mill and overlay with Roseville seems straightforward. He expressed 25 concern that if the City of New Brighton does not do a complete street and utility replacement on 26 Silver Lane and there are problems with the utilities in several years the street will need to be 27 torn up without the ability to many those two pieces of roadway together again. He stressed the 28 importance of providing philosophical guidance to the city engineer and city manager in New 29 Brighton, and to express that St. Anthony will not proceed with this if there are not assurances 30 granted. He stated New Brighton should replace in the same manner that St. Anthony does. 31 32 Mr. Hubmer advised that plans and specifications will not be ordered until October. Tonight 33 Council will only be accepting the feasibility report. Staff will work to obtain assurances from 34 New Brighton between now and October that utilities and/or the roadway will be protected from 35 future disturbances without taking the next step of ordering plans and specifications. 36 37 Consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to report back to Council on obtaining the 38 above assurances from the City of New Brighton. Staff is not to proceed in ordering plans and 39 specifications for Silver Lane prior to receiving further direction from Council. 40 41 Councilmember Roth asked if the sidewalk and street lighting costs are assessed to the residents 42 that live on the streets included in the project or if these costs are picked up by the residents of 43 St. Anthony. Mr. Hubmer replied that sidewalks and street lighting are general costs to the 44 residents of St. Anthony. The only cost that is assessed would be 35% of the local interior 45 roadway and local drainage. 46
