Engineer Raatikka reviewed the project and the cost summary. Mayor Gamec said there is a performance bond issued on the streets so that any problems occurring are covered by the contractor and are repaired. A citizen on 151st Lane, asked if there are any parcels in this project which will be assessed double. Mayor Gamec said basically the reason for the joining of the areas was to avoid this and there are none. Joe McCarty, Jaspar and 162nd Lane, reported that the street project has created a drainage problem and the culvert which will be draining north and that his driveway would eventually be washed away. Engineer Raatikka replied that any driveway culverts that are required are the responsibility of the homeowner and the reason for the culvert was because of the standing water on the south side of that intersection. Mr. McCarty said that the City has put in driveways where the project has created drainage problems. There are three driveways on 161st that would be washed out because of the road coming in. The culvert on 162nd is causing run off from one side of the street to the other. Engineer Raatikka said it will keep from washing out the intersection and there will be a longer distance for bhe water to seep also. Meg Chelberg, 162nd Lane asked about concrete driveways being against the ordinance. ~Bs¢~CR,HEARING - 10/9/!9 - COUNCIL IRONSTONE, 159~h LN, 16071-t LN, 161ST LN, 162ND LN.
