CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Mayor Peterson called the Public Improvement Hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. Present were Mayor Peterson and Councilmembers Szurek, Jolly and Wyckoff. 2. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING:: 1999 ALLEY REHABILITATION PROGRAM A. Presentation by Staff The Public Works Director addressed the proposed projects within the rehabilitation program. He stated that the project costs total $525,000. The two sources of funding for these costs are individual property assessments for those benefitting properties and State Aid funds. Sixty percent of the costs will be paid by State Aid funds. An informational meeting was held on these projects on March 23rd All affected property owners were advised by mail of this meeting. Comments made at the informational meeting were included in the agenda packet for this Improvement Hearing. The Public Works Director advised that a majority vote of the Council is necessary to approve assessments. He also advised that if individual property owners will be experiencing multiple assessments there will be an opportunity for deferral. He then addressed the longevity and wearability of a concrete surface versus a bituminous surface. Most of the alleys being rehabilitated will be with concrete. B. Questions/Comments from City Council and Public 1) The owner of rental property at 615 40th Avenue stated his opposition to vacating the alley adjacent to his building. He said that without this alley he could not continue to provide off-street parking for his tenants. There would also be a problem with storage of plowed snow and accessing the vehicle plug-ins for his tenants. He will discuss this matter further with the Public Works Director. 2) The owner at 4140 Reservoir Boulevard questioned the validity of assessing properties which do not use the alley. The Public Works Director responded that "abutting" properties are assessed as per the city policy. Page - 1- 3) The owner at 4842 Monroe Street submitted a petition signed by fourteen of the nineteen property owners on the alley. Only five garages use the alley. He felt the alley was not a necessity nor is its surface. 4) The owner at 4260 Tyler Street said that four of the five affected property owners were opposed to the improvement. He quoted from the City Charter a section pertaining to assessments. 5) The owner at 4440 Van Buren Street presented a petition in opposition to the alley improvement. He felt the alley was dangerous. The property owner at 4449 Jackson Street recalled a previous petition having been presented in opposition to the alley improvement. 6) The property owner at 1231 40th Avenue had numerous questions regarding the proposed improvement, the rate of interest and what appeared to him to be an inequity with the per parcel charge formula. The City Manager cited the intent of the Council is not to be a lending agency therefore the 8% interest rate was selected. This may encourage property owners to seek financing some place else. 7) The owner of 834 40th Avenue felt the manner in which commercial property is being assessed is not equitable. Another property owner stated he felt the work could be done to improve his alley much less expensive than the assessment reflected. Only four property owners are being assessed for the alley although he noted all persons in the area use it. 8) The resident at 4724 Fourth Street recalled the City having purchased some paving equipment in the last few years. He inquired if this equipment could be used and the City could do the work. The Public Works Director responded that this equipment had the capabilities of doing miscellaneous repair, street patching and surface improvements of public parking lots. In response to an inquiry regarding using asphalt instead of concrete for these projects, the Public Works Director cited numerous reasons why concrete is superior. 9) The resident at 4036 Reservoir Boulevard had numerous questions regarding the alley. He supports resurfacing it but wanted it straightened, have drainage addressed and the grade properly aligned. 10) The property owner at 4833 Madison Street questioned the importance of repairing alleys. He would be much more supportive of some other activities which focused on people and behavior. 11) The property owners at 4421 Jackson Street both addressed their concerns with the proposed Page -2- alley improvement in their block. They are thirty-eight year residents. They oppose any improvement as they felt this would encourage usage by people who didn't live in the area and increase speed of the vehicles going from 44th to 45th. There had been petitions submitted from both sides of this alley opposing the improvement. 12) The resident at 960 40th Avenue opposes improvement of the alley behind her property. She suggested if improvements are to be done that funds from the liquor operation profits should be used. 13) The resident at 1055 Peters Place explained how he will be paying on more than one assessment if his alley improvement is approved. He also stated he is waiting to pave his driveway until he completes his house addition. This would be done in about five years. He also has concern with a tree on his property, two alleys adjacent to his home slated for improvement and underground installation of utility wires. He was referred to the Traffic Commission with his concern regarding through traffic in his alley. 14) The owner of the property at 5253 Fourth Street is supportive of the improvement of his alley. He noted that only the northern portion is slated for improvement. He requested a letter stating that property owners who pay for this portion of the alley will not be responsible for paying assessments for the southern portion if it is ever improved. C.
