However, the Council did request that the City Staff meet with the citizens in this area and see what they actually wanted done in regards to improving their street. The City Engineer explained the different type of street construction methods that could be utilized. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated he was not part of the improvement project and that he did not want any more drainage easement on his property. It was explained to the citizens of Itasca Heights that it would be quite expensive to use the drainage easement that was provided in the plat. The citizens felt that they would really like to have their streets in Itasca Heights plat upgraded to a standard city street without the bituminous surfacing. It was pointed out to them that this work would probably be assessed back to the property owners aa all street improve- ments in platted areas. It was stated that this would be taken before the Council for their review and action. Further, they would be notified of the outcome on the proposed street improvement.
