~'~.~,...". 1 I 1 : ',,':- . City of New Brighton February 25, 1982 Larry Mottle, 160 Windsor Court, asked about the possibility of widening the cul-de-sac at the end of Windsor Court. The City Engineer replied that it was their intention to look to see if that cul-de-sac could be widened for the sake of school buses turning around in the area. Stan Wrobel, 37 Windsor Court, stated that he felt the assessment for over $800 for his frontage was excessive compared to the other units at Windsor Green and that he would have a difficult time paying that assessment as he was now retired. Mr. Wrobel stated that he would like to see the assessment spread over the other units in Windsor Green since they use the street much more than he does and in fact it serves all of Windsor Court. Mr. Dan Schuling, 119 Windsor Court, asked if this was going to be a better street. The City Engineer stated that the technology in designing streets today is much better than before and that they feel that they are designing a street best suited for the existing soil conditions. Mr. Schuling stated that he was in favor of the project and just hoped that it would work. Peter Murlowski, owner of Birch Pond Condominium project stated that he felt the City picking up 75% of the assessment cost is very generous but that he did not feel that the streets were in such condition as to need replacement.
