I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 28, 1989 Page 4 Public Hearinq, continued Public Hearing .,. A narrow strip of additional right-of-way is l'equired along a Long Lake Area Street portion of 15th Terrace, A few trees and hedges would be lost but Improvement Project there would be minimal disruption of the boulevard trees. Report 89-84 Staff recommended that 12th Avenue and the portion of 14th Avenue north of 15th Terrace be constructed 24 feet wide with no parking posted along one si de due to narrow ri ght-of-way and the short setback of garages and other structures on those streets. The northerly tip of 14th Avenue, Hipp's View Point, is currently 24 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter. This short section is not included in this project. As in all street rehabilitation projects, the driveways and boulevards will be sloped back to match the new streets. Concrete driveways will be replaced with concrete and bituminous driveways with asphalt. All catch basins, manholes and watermain valve boxes will be reset flush with the new street surfacing. The utility billing records show a few of the lots have private wells. There is no City requirement that residents connect to City water, but these lots are provi ded with a servi ce stub. A few vacant and subdividable lots in the project require water and sewer service stubs. The City will give these owners the option of installing the stubs themselves instead of including them in the City project. Regarding the parking situation on 14th Avenue, Brandt felt it would be more efficient to allow parking on the west side of the street due to the hi gher amount of dri veways on the east side. Brandt suggested surveying the residents on their parking preference. One resident, who lives on the west side of the road, commented that a high percentage of the parked cars belong to the people on the east side. Another resident noted that the parking ban on the west side could cause problems with the delivery of the mail since the mailboxes are on the east side of the street. The recommended pl an i ncl udes: 1) 32 foot street wi dths on 16th Terrace, 16th Street, 15th Terrace, 15th St~eet, 13th Street and 14th Avenue south of 15th Terrace, and 24 foot street widths on 12 Avenue and 14th Avenue north of 15th Terrace, 2) Barrier-type concrete curb and gutter on all streets, and 3) Storm sewer. The total project cost of the recommended plan ;s $561,068.
