I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 28, 1989 Page 8 Public Hearing, continued Public Hearing '.' Mr. Ka 1 kes asked if an envi ronmenta 1 study has been performed to determine the type of wastes released from these sewers. Proper was Long Lake Area Street not aware of an environmental study being performed. Improvement Project Report 89-84 As a resident on the east side of the street, Mr. Kalkes is against the proposed parking ban on the west side of the street. Mr. Tom Symanski, 1208--13th Street NW, handed two petitions to the Council. The first petition was signed by the 13th Street residents who oppose the widening of 13th Street. The second petition, also signed by residents on 13th Street, opposes any improvements on 13th Street. Mr. Symanski noted both petitions represent 100% agreement between the residents. Mr. Semanski said the residents would prefer a parking ban on the north side of the street. Proper noted that in order to ban parking on one side of the street, a 100% agreement must be obtained from the residents. Benke noted that allowing parking on the s0Jth side of 13th Street would allow for mail carrier access on the north side. Also, the safety of children should be considered in the parking decision. Orv Krause, 1252--12th Avenue NW, asked if curbing for driveways would be installed on vacant lots and would the City replace trees and shrubs damaged during the construction. Also, Krause said he is in favor of the improvements but feels the widening of 13th Street should be reconsidered. Proper said the owner would make the decision for driveway installation. The City would try to replace the trees and shrubs damaged in the construction process. A monthly informational newsletter will be mailed to residents informing them of upcoming areas of reconstruction. Hugh Bredenback, 1429--15th Terrace NW, commented that one resident would lose a large portion of corner frontage with the straighting of 14th Avenue right-of-way. Mr. Bredenback also favors keeping the 24 foot wi dth streets. Proper suggested the skewi ng of the 14th Averoue right-of-way may be considered. Dean Nelson, 1420--15th Terrace NW, said he would lose 7 feet of his frontage with the proposed straightening of the 14th Avenue right- of-way. Proper noted the 7 feet in questi on is Ci ty-owned. Mr. Nelson asked if he would be compensated for the frontage loss by the City. Benke acknowledged that Mr. Nelson would not be compensated because the footage in question is City-owned. Mr. Nelson said he supports a 24 foot wide skewed street with parking on one side.
