City Council minutes for September 18, 2000 Page 5 Administrator held the meeting with property owners, and subsequently, another petition was presented to the City requesting that the City halt, stop, or cancel the improvement project. This information was presented to the Council at a recent meeting with staff's recommendation that the project be cancelled. The Council authorized staff to proceed with the appraisal of the property that would be completed and incorporated into the feasibility report and a subsequent public hearing. With an overwhelming response from the property owners who have requested that the project be stopped primarily due to cost, staff recommended that the Council accept the feasibility report and order a public hearing for the 132nd Street improvement project with the full understanding that financially, according to the appraisal report, the City would have to pick up a full 50-55% of the $1.1 million project cost. Stoltzman made motion, Haas seconded, to accept the feasibility report and order a public hearing for October 16, 2000, at 7:00 pm, for the 132nd Street improvement project. VOTING AYE: Haas, Leroux, Petryk, Stoltzman ABSTAINED: Debra Barnes Motion Carried. STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ETHAN/126TH STREET FOR THE WUSSLER/PETERSON PROPERTY At its September 5, 2000 meeting, the Council approved an Encroachment Agreement with Mr. Jack Wussler to construct a retaining wall on his property within the drainage easement, parallel to his property with the Petersons'. The City Engineer had proposed two methods to provide for storm water drainage out to Bald Eagle Lake, as outlined in his report dated 9/13/00. Staff reviewed with the RCWD the option of using an underground culvert, and the City Engineer determined that this is not feasible. City staff recommends that the Council order a storm drainage improvement project in the easement located on the property line between Mr. Wussler and Mr. Peterson, with above ground drainage with 5:1 side slope. Mr. Peterson requested that the City table this matter and allow him to get another engineering opinion. Barnes made motion, Haas seconded, that the City reimburse Jack Wussler $800 for half the cost of construction of a swale on his property. The City Engineer is directed to obtain a quote for construction of a wider and shallower swale on the Wussler property, as well as a quote to correct the plugged culvert under Ethan Avenue, and report to Council at a meeting in October 2000. VOTING AYE: Barnes, Haas, Leroux, Stoltzman ABSTAINED: Becky Petryk Motion Carried.
