continue rather than adjourn the hearing. This will allow for an opportunity for staff and the PuNic Works Committee to meet with residents and discuss and consider their requests. Citizen input was none. Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to continue the public hearing on Improvement Project #05-24 until June 28, 2005, following a review by the Public Works Committee. Further discussion: Mayor Gamec inquired about trees located right on the property lines. City f~;nginccr Jankowski replied most of the hedge rows are just inside the right-of-way or right on the border. He believes this project can be done without eliminating those, but the concern on the part of the homeowner was regarding salt and things from the road that would damage them. Mayor Gamcc indicated it would be good to meet with the. homeowners. City Engineer Jankowski explained some of the concerns he heard were regarding things like the width of the road. There was specific direction from the Public Works Committee to make the road 32 feet wide.. The other concern was regarding paving the cul-de-sac. He does not think the Public Works Committee would agree not to pave the cul-de-sac. Councilmember Elvig suggested the homer)WhetS attend the Public Works Committee meeting. City Engineer Jankowski replied he will iai'otto thc homeowners of the meeting. Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained there is a street standard of 32 feet, but in this case there are only three lots being assessed, with m-> one to be assessed on the other side of the street. There could be consideration of reducing l he str'eet width to 28 feet and an 8~foot trail, with no parking on one side of the street. This couId ct~t costs a little.
