kinds of improvements done, they assess one full share with the side of the property that has the main driveway. Mr. Rosett stated he was assessed for Helium Street, which is the front of his house, two years ago. City Engineer Jankowski indicated staff will verify if Mr. Rosett's name should be removed from this project list. James Couch, 15800 Traprock Street NW, stated he does not have a problem with the maintenance on the roads, and the City has been doing an adequate job. He does have a problem with Project #04-12, as there is not a 155th Avenue any more and Traprock Street does not go through to 168th Avenue. City Engineer Jankowski explained all of the properties within Traprock Commons are being assessed. lrl Larson, 14480 Bowers Drive NW, explained regarding Project #04~13, they are planning an overlay this year for a project done in 1982 or 1983. He and some of his neighbors are questioning the judgment of putting overlay on this piece of City road because of the condition of it now, or if it should be taken up back to the original mat. City Engineer Jankowski explained the sections that have failed will be repaired and an overlay will be placed on top of the repair. Staff is not proposing to take up the entire mat and rebuild the street; they will overlay for the most part what pavement is there. The parts that have failed where it is broken up and bituminous is coming out will be patched with a base coat of pavement, and a smooth overlay of that section. Mr. Larson inquired if the City would be tearing up this road in a couple of years to put in water and sewer due to the City Center that is planned. Mayor Gamec explained the City Charter states approximately 70 percent of the residents must request the sewer and water before the City can put it in. Mary Peterson, 6014 - 158th Lane NW, stated in 1996 these residents were charged to have sealcoating done. Now since they opened the road up in the last six months they are being charged with sealcoating again. She would like to see this area postponed because the road has not been used until the last six months. Only two houses used this road when it was closed. City Attorney Goodrich advised a neighborhood can petition against a project with a petition signed by greater than 50 percent of the owners of all the real property. If this petition is brought in within 60 days the Council cannot take action on the project for at least one year. City Council/March 9, 2004 Page 7 of 22
