IP 08-33 Ute Street Paving An infoanmatianal meeting was held on Wednesday, September 1 Ott" and was attended by 8 of the 11 benefitted property owners. Written corta,rnents are attached including a letter from one resident who was not in attendance. The following concerns were expressed; ~ -The location of the proposed roadway within the right of way was a significant concern to the residents as was the property rights. associated with the raadway and access easements. The study proposes placing the roadway within the center of the right of way. Staff learned that. residents were aware of the location of several property corners which will be located at the earliest opportunity so that residents can visualize location of the proposed widened roadway and cul de sac bulb, • .There was concern regarding the proposed widened roadway width to 28 feet. Several praperies are located relatively close to the existing street and the proposed location would decrease the separation. The 28 foot width is four feet less than is required for view residential roadways to encourage paving of dirt roadways. Under certain conditions such as encroaching snow banks and parked vehicles narrow roadways cart present access difficulties for larger emergency vehicles. "his is particularly problematic fr~r struts having only a single access such as Ute Street. Should a reduction in street width be considered corrimerzts from public safety oj~cial should be solicited and specij~c criterion should be established so that a reduced street width does not become a new standard, • Concerns were raised. relative to the proposed location of the storm sewer outfall to Rogers Lake being at a high point on the raadway and of drainage concerns for the property located at 4947 179th Lane. Staff will investigate an alternate location for the outfall to Rogers Lake and will also extend storm water inlets into both of the corner properties at 179`h Lane to provide better drainage for these two lots.
