Mr. Sanders <br />noted the difficulty in selecting a species not susceptible to disease, but <br />the plan emphasizes the less sensitive species. Williams said a diversity <br />of species helps to guard against the total loss that could result in a single <br />species being wiped out by disease. <br /> <br />Williams strongly suggested replacing the silver maple with a slower <br />growing, larger stock tree. <br /> <br />The New Brighton Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development <br />Commission (EDC) recommended approval of the entrance landscape plan <br />and Alternative" A" entrance monument design. Larson noted the EDC's <br />concern that the ball on the monument feature may be prone to <br />vandalism. Locke said the design will be reviewed. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to ACCEPT THE OLD <br />HIGHWAY 8 GREENWAY CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING PLANS AND <br />ENTRANCE FEATURE PLAN AS PRESENTED BY SANDERS, WACKER, <br />WEHRMAN, BERGLY, AND AUTHORIZE ITS IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE <br />ADDITIONS SUGGESTED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS. <br /> <br />4 Ayes ~ 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Childs said a petition was received from County Road H residents <br />requesting the sidewalk be extended east of Long Lake Road to 14th <br />Avenue NW on the south side of County Road H due to the reopening of <br />Edgewood Middle School. <br /> <br />Previously, staff researched the need for a sidewalk because of <br />Edgewood's reopening and recommended a pedestrian crosswalk at Long <br />Lake Road with the sidewalk on the Mounds View side of County Road H. <br />The recommendation was sent to Mounds View, but they felt there was <br />not a significant number of pedestrians to justify a sidewalk at that time. <br /> <br />Staff recommends receipt of the petition and ordering of a feasibility <br />study. The study will consider all locations and involve the City of <br />Mounds View. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to RECEIVE THE PETITION <br />FOR SIDEWALK ON COUNTY ROAD H BETWEEN LONG LAKE ROAD AND <br />14TH AVENUE AND ORDER AN ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY. <br />4 Ayes ~ 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Finance Director Margaret Egan presented recommendations for the 1992 <br />maximum allowable levy. <br /> <br />The annual budget is the official statement of City services and involves a <br />fairly elaborate review of needs, consideration of alternatives, and <br />financial strategy development. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Old Highway 8 <br />Greenway Plan <br />Report 91 ~183 <br /> <br />Sidewalk <br />Extension for Co. <br />Rd.
