I I I Council Meeting Minutes June 11, 1990 Page 7 Public Hearing, continued The 7.0 acre-foot stormwater retention basin on the Sunny Square Park is needed for surface water management to provide protection from flooding and to improve surface water quality. The City will provide service stubs to lots that have private wells. Dick Brown, 2707 County Road H, does not feel the catch basin and drainage pipe is needed in the swamp located on Knollwood Drive. Proper confirmed that the pipe will provide proper drainage, prevent slippery road conditions and prevent pooling of excess water. Ken Nelson, 2205 W. County Road H, feels the concrete curbs and street widening are unnecessary. Proper noted that concrete curbing defines the road edges to provide a guide for the snowplow, provides for uniform parking, stabilizes the road ends, carries drainage to gutters, adds years to the street life and creates a better road appearance. The City.s policy provides that streets built to City standard would be paid 75% by the City for surfacing and base costs. Doug Luehmann, 2375 Brighton Lane, feels the street breakup is due to the lack of continual maintenance. Proper noted that the Sunnyside area has not been seal coated in recent years because it has been targeted for reconstruction Proper confirmed that the area was seal coated about seven years ago. Joan Kelley, 2387 Brighton Lane, feels the streets have not been maintained properly and asked if there is a maintenance plan in effect. Proper explained that patching material is used during the summer months to fill holes and seal coating is done every five to seven years to fill in hairline cracks. Benke noted that the Public Works crew has done an excellent job in equa lly ba 1 anci ng the investments of street reconstruct; on and street maintenance. Chuck Fyksen, 2539 Rainbow Lane, feels Rainbow Lane may need to be seal coated, but does not n~ed to be replaced. He noted that the senior citizens will find it hard to afford the assessment. Proper noted that some streets are in poorer conditions than others, but reconstructing a large area provides for a more uniform appearance and less expensive unit price. Mi ke Buckl ey, 2807 Va 11 ey Vi ew Lane, asked if property taxes wi 11 increase after the reconstruction. Proper noted that the City does not have control over property value, but a new street wi 11 generally improve the property's appearance and increase its value.
