He was a resident of Anoka for 30 <br />years and was never assessed for street maintenance. He stated that Waco Street is a very <br />long street andi very heavily traveled. He questioned if with the heavy traffic, would this <br />street still be s~alcoated at the 7-year intervals. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski assured him that the travel should not hasten the need for extra sealcoating. <br /> <br />John Stong, 14737 Xldmo Street N.W., Ramsey, stated that the amount of the assessment <br />is not a big deW; however, he thought that sealcoating had just been done in his area about <br />five years prioi. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowsld replied that it was done in 1988. <br /> <br />Mr. Stong didn't remember being assessed at that time. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that the developer put up an amount for the first sealcoat. <br /> <br />Mr. Stong rep0,rted that the job previously done was done poorly. He expressed concern <br />about loose ro6ks and when the sweeping is done. He inquired how the decision is made <br />to do the streets. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowsld explained that the streets are reviewed for wear. With regard to the <br />aggregate, thin year he required the sweeping be done three days after the sealcoat. <br />However, while the loose gravel is a hazard, three days is.too soon.' <br /> <br />Motion by Co~cilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to close <br />the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion cardex].
