Case #5: Report from Meeting with Bill Rademacher and Discussion of Barium Street <br /> Drainage <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that the issue was brought forward because of the City's <br />interest of extending the watermain that currently ends at Barium Street to 153rd. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen questioned the rationale of extending Barium Street at the City's <br />expense to 153rd. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly suggested extending Cobalt Street. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that the property owners should decide what streets they <br />want added and let them pay for them. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that it would be detrimental to the clinic to have Barium <br />Street extended, but noted Outlot A is currently zoned multi-family and would increase traffic <br />down the existing Barium Street. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested leaving the decision up to the developer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired in what zoning document is the property zoned <br />multi family. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that it is currently zoned multifamily-family, but he is not sure <br />what the proposed Comprehensive Plan has the property zoned. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he did not think the City should be deciding for the <br />developer as to what makes the most sense. He felt the developer should come to the City with a <br />plan and then have Staff and Council evaluate the plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly questioned why the City would require a right-of-way without <br />knowing what the development plans are. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that there is a 12-inch main along Barium Street and one that <br />terminates on 153rd and he would like to complete the loop. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen questioned what the immediate implications would be. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that it would be a lot less costly to do the watermain looping <br />in conjunction with the T.H. #47 project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen suggested heading in the direction of completing the loop with <br />extending the watermain far enough so it would not require tearing up T.H. #47 again and then <br />complete the loop in the future. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/November 16, 1999 <br /> Page 9 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
