Vo[ingNo: None. <br /> <br />Case #2: Update on Public Works .Campus <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Otson stated that over the past few months,- sfaff and Council haze <br />discussed the Public Works facility located near the intersection of JasPar Street and 142nd <br />Avenue NW. On July 23, 2002, Council introduced an ordinance that would vacate a section of <br />142nd Avenue NW between the north and south PubIic Works sites. This ordinance was adopted <br />on August 13, 2002. One of the questions that arose from that vacation process was the <br />possibility of creating a cul-de-sac for vehicles that enter the new dead end street. Staff has <br />looked at tim two locations that are possible for this cul-de-sac and are recommending.that the <br />cul-de-sac be located at the intersection of 142nd Avenue NW and Limonite Street. There are not <br />any local accesses on 142no Street NW east of Limonite Street NW..an4:currently no need to plow <br />that section ors treet, T he purpose of the case is to updateyou on the project and acquire a <br />consensus to the location of the cul-de-sac, The construction season is coming to a close and staff <br />anticipates that upon the vacation ordinance becoming effective (30 days after adoption) that <br />staff will begin the grading work necessary to facilitate the screening and ponding along the west <br />side of the property. This will all be done with City personnel and not .result in significant <br />expenditures of public moneys. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if the berrning would start this fall. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that staff has already begun building the <br />berm. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he agreed with adding the berm to help the appearance with the area. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson stated that the City has an opportunity to utilize excess dirt from <br />~he Sunwood drive project for the berm. He also noted that staffhas a tentative agreement to get <br />the dirt hauled over to the facility at no cost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired if the property would be le~ in good shape when the dirt is' <br />removed. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that the City has an opp0rmnity to get some of the lot from <br />Alloy Recovery property and he did not think that the City could find land for that same cost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen requested clarification ~f the City currently owned the Alloy <br />Recovery property or could the City possibly acquire the land. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman replied that he would like the property to'be used for Public Works <br />purposes. He also noted that he did not have a problem with the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/August 19, 2002 <br /> Page 5 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
