Councilmember Musgrove noted this proposed fence length of 265 feet and the length proposed <br /> in the preliminary plat of 245 feet. She stated that the meeting notes from that discussion <br /> mentioned the possibility of the City extending that to the exiting wall. She did not believe the <br /> short fence provides a sound wall for the property that would be open and exposed. She was <br /> unsure that this would be effective and noted that she would support a further extension but <br /> recognized the possibility of that is not high. She asked what would occur if one homeowner wants <br /> the existing fence removed and the other does not. She stated that while she agrees that two fences <br /> would not look the best, she believed the existing fence should be left in place. She asked if the <br /> first fence panel should be at an angle to better direct noise back towards the street. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that the intention of this first part of discussion was simply for <br /> clarification and not full discussion. He stated that he would now like to open the floor for resident <br /> input. <br /> Ted Blakely, 5041 Xkimo Court NW, thanked staff and the City for making good progress on this <br /> issue. He referenced the two options and asked if Plan A could be approved to keep momentum <br /> moving. He stated that he did not want to see any delays in waiting for homeowner response on <br /> whether the existing fence should be removed. <br /> Chairperson Riley agreed that was a good suggestion, noting that staff did provide an option to <br /> include an alternate bid which would remove a section or all or the existing fence. <br /> Rick Bailey, 5021 Xkimo Court NW, asked the timeframe for bidding and when construction <br /> would be anticipated to begin. <br /> City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby replied that he does have the contact <br /> information for the two property owners and therefore staff can reach out to them quickly. He <br /> stated that once direction is provided on the plans, staff will update the plans within one month <br /> and bring those forward to the Council for authorization to bid the project. He stated that the <br /> bidding process is typically about five weeks and provided details on the contract process. He <br /> estimated up to three months for the process from tonight to when the Council could be presented <br /> with a construction contract. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff commented that it sounded like Councilmember Musgrove wanted a <br /> longer fence and asked if her desire was to extend it south towards Xkimo or north to the other <br /> fence. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove replied that her desire was to extend north to the other fence. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the new sound wall could not be extended to the south <br /> because of conflicts with snow removal and utilities. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that there would be an additional cost of$15,000. <br /> Public Works Committee/ November 15, 2022 <br /> Page 3 of 9 <br />
