I~'. 0'Rourke said he has been living in his house for ten years and <br />has never ha~ Chis problem before. He felt the city should assess <br />Gross]ein not the residential property owners. He said he can~sprinkle <br />for two days and not get water sitting out front. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said there is a problem with the street which caused it <br />to break up. <br /> <br />Mr. 0'Rourke said Tungsten Street is bad but it is not a Minnesota <br />Trunk Highway. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka agreed Tungsten was not built for commercial <br />and industrial use. <br /> <br />Sieve Norton, 6206 Rivlyn Avenue <br /> <br />Mr. NorCon said he agreed with Mr. 0'Rotzrke that there never was a <br />problem before Crossl~in came in. <br /> <br />Mm. Roger D5. ckenson, 61~0 Rivlyn Avenue <br /> <br />Mr. Dickenson said the city wants to retar and charge the residents for <br />it. He asked why it was not do, at the time it was put in. He said <br />there is nothing wrong with Rivtyn Avenue. <br /> <br />Y~. Ro~er Dickenson, Jr., Box 266, Elk River <br /> <br />Mr. Dickenson said the road is already there and sewer and water is <br />coming in, so it needs nothing but maintenmnce at this time. <br /> <br />Mr. Dickenson, Sr. asked why the city does not consider some of the <br />roads in Ramsey that are not surfaced instead of looking at these <br />roads t?~at are already surfaced. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said some of the problems on Tungsten Street is from water <br />thai is coming down Rivlyn Avenue and in order to improve and alleviate <br />the problems on Tungsten Street, it is necessary to do the whole project. <br />The other alternative is to wait until sewer & water com~s in, but the <br />city is trying to avoid a higher cost. <br /> <br />Mr. O'Rourke asked City Engineer Raatikka if he felt the water that <br />is causing the problem is coming from residential land. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka said that is right. <br /> <br />Mr. O'Rourke' said he felt the City Engineer was mistmken. He felt <br />Che water came off the big buildings and parking lots at Grosslein's <br />and. Grosslein is responsible for the water problem, not the residents. <br />He said his water never crosses the street. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said he had to differ with Mr. O'Rourke regarding where <br />the water was coming from as he walked in that area last spring almost <br />in hip boots and he observed water coming from approximately where <br />Mr. 0'Rourke's house is to a ditch across the street. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />September 23, 1980 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
