Councilmember Look noted due to the budget constraints, this project was probably not going to happen anytime soon, but he believed it was important to get a neighborhood meeting scheduled to discuss it. Councilmember Dehen noted the Public Works Committee had recommended Council discuss having a neighborhood meeting and he agreed the residents should know what was going on with their property. Councilmember McGlone stated he was advocating for the east alignment Motion to Councilmember Look, seconded by Mayor Ramsey, to hold a neighborhood meeting with all residents in the area and report the findings back to the Council prior to deciding on the final alignment and initiating the required right of way plan. Further discussion: Councilmember Elvig stated he did not want to alarm another neighborhood, as this did not make sense. Mayor Ramsey noted even if the properties were not directly affected, they would be indirectly affected. He stated he was in favor of the eastern alignment. It was Council's consensus that they were in favor of the east alignment. Councilmember Elvig stated he would like a lazger notice area. Mr. Hanson stated the issue was when the road was going to be put in. He stated he did not want the City taking a long time on this decision. He wanted to know how long this process was going to take once it was designed on what the alignment was. Terri Thatcher, 7590 - 149`h Lane NW, stated she was frustrated with this entire process. She did not believe the neighborhood should have any say in this and believed this would just confuse the issue. She asked if there was something they could do to acquire their property, or did they have to wait until all of the properties were acquired. City Engineer Himmer responded the City would probably acquire property as needed when funding was made available. Mr. Lindahl requested the City lease their property and lease it back to them. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers Look, Dehen, Jeffrey, and Wise. Voting No: Councilmembers Elvig and McGlone. Mayor Ramsey recessed the meeting at 8:50 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:02 p.m. 7.05: Consider Driveway Apron Paving Policy City Engineer Himmer reviewed the staff report: Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Wise, to modify the driveway apron paving policy to consist of replacing improved impacted driveway surfaces in-kind, and to install bituminous aprons on unimproved driveway surfaces up to a maximum of 200 square feet as a projected cost not to go beyond the property line. Further discussion: Councilmember Dehen stated he would not be voting in favor of the motion, unless it was assessed against the property. City Council /July 13, 2010 Page 10 of 12
