have time to petition for or against the project. Following the 60 day waiting period, plans would be orderexl in November and approved in February, 1991. The bids would be received and the project awarded in March, 1991 with completion of construction scheduled for June. The assessment hearings would be held in July, 1991 and the first payments would be due with property taxes in 1992. Residents would have the opportunity to pay off the assessment without interest within 30 days of the assessment hearings. CITIZEN INPUT Anch'ies Hillebregt, 16926 Bison Street N.W. - inquired as to why the cost estimate for the projects has increased since the cost estimate quoted earlier this summer. Mr. Raafikka noted that there has been an increase in oil prices and since the project would not be bid until the spring of 1991, it is anticipated that those oil price increases will be in effect then as well. Randy Kaiser, 16967 Bison Street N.W. - stated that even if the road were not improved, it is in need of Class V which the City would have to provide and the amount of Class V needed should be used as a credit towards the Class V proposed to be used in this project. I I I I 2 Mayor Reimann noted that even if the road were upgraded to Class V, the residents would be assessed for those improvements also. Randy Kaiser stated that if the City had been maintaining the road regularly with Class V it would not cost the residents so much at this time. He also noted that other cities don't charge residents for maintenance of streets. John Anderlie, 16917 Bison Street N.W. - stated that the cost estimates at this time are so far out of line from the initial cost estimates given at previous meetings. Mr. Anderlie stated that the residents wanted the road improved but it is to the point now where the3, can't afford to improve the road. Mayor Reimann noted that oil prices have risen but they are an uncertainty. " Mr. Raatikka also noted that restoration has been added to this project amounting to approximately three to four hundred dollars per unit. I I I I I I ! Mr. Hillebre~ noted that another change to the proposed project is the addition of curbs which will require creation of drainage ditches and acquiring drainage easements. Dean Helgeson stated that he is developing Trott Brook Ridge and that his original plan included a cul-de-sac from Yolite Street N.W. and that was immediately rejected because the CiD: wanted the development to happen with a through street. That through street was also rejected, so Trott Brook ended up being developed with a cul-de-sac and has subsequently contracted for the blacktopping. Mr. Helgeson stated that he has followed the directions and the requirements of the City and now the City. is considering revising the plans for the area after he has provided for a cul-de-sac..~. Helgeson stated that he believes a cul-de-sac enhances the safety of the neighborhood and the value of propero.' because cul-de-sacs do not facilitate speeding traffic. ~ir. Helgeson also noted that construction of Bison Street N.W. with cut-de-sacs is less expensive and none of the residents in the area want Bison Street N.W. constructed as a through street.
