South from 171st Avenue N.W. to the Northern boundary of Trott Brook Ridge Addition). Members Present: Mayor James Gilbertson Councilmember Sheila Beyer Councilmember Glen Hardin Councilmember Kenneth Peterson Councilmember Gerald Zimmerman Also Present: CALL TO ORDER City Administrator Ryan Schroeder Finance Officer Sandra Ashley Helling City Engineer Steven Jankowski Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik City Attorney William Goodrich Mayor Gilbertson called the public heating to order at 7:49 p.m. PRESENTATION City Engineer Jankowski showed overheads of the proposed project. Bison Street N.W. is presently Sand and gravel, is approximately 21 to 26' wide, and a portion of the road is not within the right-of-way. There are two properties bordered by where the proposed road is now. The two owners quit-claimed 35' to each other for access. The parcels divided off and the City began to maintain the road next to the properties. The City has access to the right-of-way by virtue of the State Statutes whereby the road can be declared public property;if it is publicly maintained for six years. There were several subdivisions platted, the right~of-way was dedicated in the location where it was intended to be, and the City has entered into an agreement with one of the owners. The City has title to all but 350' of the southern most end of Bison Street N.W. The improvements proposed include, on the norther, n.. portion, returning the roadway to the center of the right-of-way. We are also proposing the road be a 24' paved bituminous roadway with the base score having four foot shoulders. Twenty-four feet is a low cost alternative to getting this road paved. On the southern portion of the project, the City proposes to construct the street as a through street to ~the Trott Brook subdivision. Mr. Jankowski stated he has chosen to prepare the feasibility study as though the street is in keeping with Planning and Zoning's recommendation at the time Trott Brook platted. A through street will eliminate two cul-de- sacs which are in excess of City standards for length. The residents south of 171 st Avenue N.W. have expressed a desire to have the road remain a dead end. The southern 150' would have to be acquired. Mr. Jankowski commented that his cost included the amount to cover the acquisition. The cost associated with the northern project is $35,100 ($27,000 construction costs). The cost per parcel is $747. The southern project has a total cost of $36,319 ($25,245 construction) for a per unit cost of $6,000 for six units which would Public Hearing - Bison St./City Council/February 9, 1993 Page 1 of 4
