City of New Brighton March 8, 1983 Page Five I Mr. Jack Anderson, 1651 23rd Ave. N.W., stated that it seemed to him there were four alternatives which were: 1. Repair curbs; 2. Make minor repairs to the street in the appro- priate spots; 3. Reconstruct the street but delay the storm sewer; 4. Complete the project as proposed. Mr. Edgar Guntzel, 1608 23rd Ave. N.W., stated that the water level of Stony Lake has varied only slightly which must mean there is an outlet for Stony Lake and, therefore, the storm sewer safety valve would not be necessary. I Mr. Ken Chupita, 1565 23rd Ave. N.W., stated that he felt that 23rd Avenue was in as good or as bad a condition as many other streets in the area. Mr. Chupita stated that only small areas of the street needed repair rather than the entire length of 23rd Ave. Mr. Doug Kessler, 1565 26th Ave. N.W., stated he did not feel there was a need for the storm sewer. Mr. Bill Taylor, 2301 15th Street N.W., stated that the storm sewer drains on 14th Street were plugged and that the drainage situation could potentially be improved if the drains could be cleaned. Mr. Taylor questioned whether the proposed 23rd Avenue project would have an impact on the rezoning of property south of his. Mayor Harcus noted that any development or rezoning of the property south of Mr. Taylor's was a separate issue and, in fact, that property was not in the same water shed area. Mr. Morrie Gillet, 1575 23rd Ave., stated he felt the street reconstruction appeared to be preventative maintenance and unnecessary. I City Engineer noted that what is proposed is a complete new street rather than just street repairs. Mr. Gillet asked if this was the first project in the City's street program. Mayor Harcus stated that this is an ongoing program.
