CITIZEN INPUT <br />Greg Bolier, 16000 St. Francis Boulevard, stated the City is in the process of working on the <br />road in front of his property. Mr. Bolier stated he has lost approximately 20 inches of elevation <br />in front of his property due to this work, which has impacted his driveway with a severe steep <br />grade. He has five trailers he uses for different things, and there is no way he can back his <br />trailers up that grade. He would like someone to look at what could be done so he does not have <br />this type of impact on his property. <br />Councilmember Elvig stated he had talked with Mr. Bolier and with Brian Olson. Mr. Bolier is <br />right that this project has shortened the driveway and made a considerable ramping of the front <br />end of his driveway. He requested Mr. Olson provide information regarding the project. <br />Public Works Director Olson explained the amount of driveway removed was just what was <br />needed to get the road in. There are steep ramps, and staff had all intentions on taking that back <br />another 15 feet to make it more gradual. <br />Mr. Bolier stated his other question is why so much material was taken out in the first place, as <br />there was not really a drainage issue. Now he will be impacted and they will probably have to <br />come further in and re- landscape his yard. If staff would have talked to him he could have told <br />them this would be a problem. <br />Public Works Director Olson explained the intention was not to have a ditch section and to have <br />the yards drain into the road. <br />Mr. Bolier indicated he would like to speak with Mr. Olson further on the phone regarding this <br />issue. <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br />Mayor Gamec indicated the Consent Agenda has been amended to include the approval of rental <br />licenses. <br />City Administrator Norman indicated Mayor /Council/Staff Input will include information on the <br />Ramsey Commuter Bus Service Open House event on November 2 <br />Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to approve the agenda as <br />amended. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Olson, Cook, Elvig, Jeffrey, <br />Pearson, and Strommen Voting No: None. <br />City Council / September 26, 2006 <br />Page 3 of 39 <br />_17— <br />
