I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 8, 1988 Project 88-18 (MSA streets Rehabilitation) Proper reviewed the feasibility study and slides pertaining to the four State Aid streets that are being proposed for rehabilitation; there will be a two-inch overlay from curb-to-curb and the crown restored as needed; origin~lly in 1990 Capital Improvement Pro- jects but was moved because we can use Minnesota State Aid Funds for these projects; all streets are 20-25 years old; will be fix- ing curbing and sidewalk as needed at the same time. The project would be completed by this Fall and the Special Assessment Hearing would be in August, 1989. Gunderman asked if the storm sewer at the intersection of 14th and 23rd would be changed as part of the Freedom Park Improvement; Proper responded it would. Gunderman questioned how deep the milling at the curb would be; Proper indicated it would be two inches. Gunderman asked how the city is guaranteed the old curbing will not be damaged; Proper indicated there will be some chipping when the machine is milling the curbs but there are standards that the industry recognizes but specific standards would cost the city a lot of money. Larson asked if there is any reason for the additional 12 feet on a portion of Mississippi Street; Proper indicated the additional footage is being proposed for continuity and to provide for park- ing. Benke asked if we could get MSA funds for rehabilitation if we do not widen the street; Proper believes we can as long as we have the 32-foot street and restrict parking on both sides.

With regard to the Foss Road Project, Beverly Aplikowski, Lakeside Mobile Home Park, asked if Foss Road would be narrowed to make room for the sidewalk; Proper indicated it would not but it would be included in the same contract as the street. With regard to the Fifth Street Project, resident questioned the assessment costs; Proper indicated there would be a Special Asses- sment Hearing in August of 1989, with the assessments first pay- able in 1990 to be paid either in one lump sum or spread over about a five-year period (the actual time period will be deter- mined at the Assessment Hearing). There were no questions on the 14th Street Project. With regard to the Mississippi Street Project, Dave Wagner, pro- perty owner of 3252 Mississippi Street, (1) indicated the street and sidewalk in front of his house seems to be in excellent condi- Page 9 Project 88-18 9:04-9:50pm
