6. PUBLIC HEARINGS~ ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
a. Public Improvement Hearing for PIR 870, Project #902h, Construction of 38th Place
The City Manager reviewed the project using an overhead slide projector. He pre-
sented the estimated costs for the proposed road which would be 37~ from back of
curb to back of curb. The project would also include new storm sewer, new aggregate
base, new concrete curb and gutter including driveway aprons, new bituminous or
concrete surfacing, resoddlng and miscellaneous associated construction items.
Six property owners will be assessed for this project.
Some of the affected property owners stated their opposition to this project,
noting that they have no use for the street and it is being proposed only to
benefit one business, that being, Invest Cast.
Bill Walker, owner of Invest Cast, stated he needs access to his property and that
there will be a truck turn-around area on his property.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if there is an alternative to this proposal which
may not been so expensive. The City Manager responded that the truck traffic and
weight of vehlcles using the street was a consideration to constructing the street
to a nine ton grade and making It thirty-seven feet wide.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if it wou]d be feasib]e to put in the storm sewer
and to put down an ~1 base and leave it as an oil street. Kathy Young, Assistant
City Engineer, observed that this is basically what is there now. Councilmember
Nawrocki suggested that the work as proposed regarding the excavation, sub-base,
grade work to carry weight and oll be done and the blacktop surface, curb and
gutter not be done.
Young stated this could be done but it would be a higher maintenance street. Dis-
cussion continued regarding water runoff. Walker stated that the required surface
on his leased lot will Increase runoff into the street. Councilmember Paterson
felt the gravel road was not a wise alternative as it would need frequent grading.
Councilmember Nawrocki again stated he felt the amount of traffic on this road
did not justify a full fledged paved road. The City Manager gave the per parcel
costs for a project as suggested by Councilmember Nawrocki.
Motion by Nawrockl, second by Ruettimann to continue the Public Hearing to the
Council Meeting of August 13th and that staff be directed to return with a plan
Regular Council Meeting

that would do the sub base, no curb and gutter and no blacktop surface, but would
have some sort of treatment to the surface and that staff prepare data which would
show negative effects of this type of road and type of grading.
Councilmember Paterson observed that this compromise ~ould take $25,000 off the
project costs but would result In a very poor street which would not last.
He would rather see the City pay more of the costs and result in a street whlch
would last twenty-five to thirty years.

Motion fails.
Clerkin, Ruettlmann, Paterson - nay

A presentation was made on a street/avenue charge basis.
