Citi/ Council meeting of April 18, 1994 Page 4 Brunotte made motion, Barnes seconded, that the City of Hugo accept the traffic study for WHITE BEAR MEADOWS, as prepared by City Engineer, Joel Dresel. All aye. Motion Carried. (COUNCIL MEMBER BARNES LEFT THE MEETING AT 9:00 PM.) STREET DESIGN (DUCK; PASS) On February 7, 1994, the Hugo City Council approved the preliminary plat known as DUCK: PASS, located in the S 1/2 of the NW 1/4 in the N 1/2 of the SW 1/4, T31, R21W. As part of this approval, the Council reiterated the City's policy to require concrete materials in the construction of curb and gutter. Mr. Dan Dolan, project developer, is requesting the Council reconsider the use of concrete curb and gutter given the development's rural nature, large lots, and the high cost of concrete curb and gutter. As a rural development, the City does not require curb and gutter on the streets proposed. It is the staff's opinion that where curb and gutter are necessary as part of street design, that concrete materials be used in order to avoid the near-term replacement of the curb and gutter and the resulting assessments on the future home owners. Staff saw no objection to removing the curb -and gutter from the project's design, given engineering review shows that it is not necessary to control storm water or erosion. Attorney stated, if approved, he would change the Developme► Agreement to reflect a rural section road. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, installed in the subdivision Known required where mandated by the City All aye. Motion Carried. that a rural section road will be as DUCK PASS.
