Councilmember Beyer stated that Mr. Hendriksen came to Council a month ago and asked <br />for the same thing and Council agreed to put him on the next agenda at that time. She <br />stated nothing has been done and she feels his request is not out of line. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman agreed that all Mr. Hendriksen is asking is to be placed on the <br />next agenda. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer stated that Council should try to expedite this issue as soon as <br />possible, noting that it has been five years since this issue was brought to the attention of <br />Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Hendriksen stated that what he is hearing falls far short of what was directed by the <br />last City Council. Council needs to figure out what to do if what was ordered in 1989 has <br />not been done. He suggested Council should direct Staff to prepare an agenda item and he <br />would add information to it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hardin stated that City Staff and a couple of Councilmembers met with <br />Mr. Hendriksen at his property a month ago. The DNR and Anoka County have both been <br />contacted regarding Mr. Hendriksen's concerns. He stated that Council has certainly done <br />something in reaction to Mr. Hench'iksen's last visit to the Council meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Hendriksen stated that Councilmember Hardin is in the best position to address the <br />issue as he did make the visit a month ago. Mr. Hendriksen stated his concern is that in <br />Minnesota, construction can only take place in the summer and most of summer is gone. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that Anoka County inspected the ditch and they found a <br />beaver dam which has since been removed, south of Xenon Street N.W. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hardin stated that the water is not standing now as it was previously. He <br />inquired what has been received from the DNR. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated he was told an individual is reviewing it. <br /> <br />Mr. Hendriksen stated that he was told that the matter was being handled by a new <br />individual who is awaiting information from the Attorney General's office. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer felt that this update should have been on the last agenda. <br /> <br />Mr. Hendriksen stated that he would be pleased if his case could be on the next agenda. <br /> <br />Council directed that Mr. Hendriksen's concerns be placed on the next agenda as a case for <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Valerie Hoeller, 14111 Dysprosium Street N.W., expressed concern about the speed and <br />traffic along Dysprosium Street N.W. between County Road #5 and #116. The speeds <br />average from 10 to 40 miles per hour over the posted speed. She felt that the children are <br />in danger of getting hit by a car. She asked that the street be dead-ended by the water <br />tower, or that the street be narrowed and a sidewalk be constructed or that stop signs and <br />rippled speed bumps be installed. Ms. Hoeller suggested the City take action before some <br />child is killed. She presented Council with a petition, signed by 93 people in that area, <br />requesting that the City do something to alleviate this speed problem. <br /> <br />City Council/July 12, 1994 <br /> Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
