ge 7 <br /> <br />Public Hearing/7-10-78 <br />(Street Petitions) <br /> <br />Councilman Gamec stated that according to the new assessment policy it <br />would only be funding 1/2 of the cost. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka added that the residents would have to pay for the regular <br />City street but MSA funds pay to bring it up to MSA standards. <br /> <br />Bruce Hoeke, 15901 Sodium St., said he moved out here to be in the country <br />an8 blacktop streets would ruin that. If people drive 1 5 NA~H, they won't <br />have any problem. <br /> <br />Roger Thompson, 15951 Radium St., asked what type of road the City is putting <br />in on Variolite Street. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox repl%ed that they don't know at this time, but it will be designed <br />to hold 9-ton traffic. <br /> <br />Roger Thompson said that is a much higher-quality road, being in the contracting <br />business, we put in more blacktop in driveways than they are proposing for <br />these streets. <br /> <br />A resident in the audience stated she just received the letter of the hearing <br />today and asked how people will be notified so they get the facts. <br /> <br />Attorney Goodrich responded that if there is enough interest in the projects <br />tonight, a feasibility study will be ordered, which will be in more detail <br />with more accurate information and ten days prior to the final hearing <br />another written notice will be sent out. <br /> <br />A letter was received fromPaster and }~s. Lee stating they are in favor <br />of blacktop streets and wider streets. <br /> <br />A letter was received from Roland and Susan Riveness asking if there will <br />be increased police protection to lower the speeds of children on mini-bikes. <br />A new blacktop road in the area will be like a dragstrip and they ask for <br />police to control mini-bikes. <br /> <br />Terry M~veus said he shares the same concern, not only with mini-bikes but <br />also automobiles, he is concerned with taxes going up, a ten-year investment <br />down the drain before the roads are removed, the difference in technical <br />judgement here tonight on these roads and he votes against the project. <br /> <br />Nancy Jensen, 151st Ave., asked what is on the roads now? Why isn't <br />something put on these roads to prevent them from becoming so washboardy. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox replied that they were of minimumrequirements that were in this <br />community before so that they don't meet standards to hold up under traffic <br />and weather conditions have a bearing on this. <br /> <br />Nancy Jensen aske% why isn't Class 5 replaced from time to time? <br /> <br />Mayor Cox stated that the street department is constantly upgrading the <br />streets in this community. <br /> <br /> <br />
