Mayor Zaun then gave a brief history of the previous informa- tional meeting and public hearings that were held in 1983, 1984, and 1985 concerning drainage problems and road conditions in the Clay's Acres area. The Mayor also indicated that the Council had been receiving several letters from property owners in the project area objecting to the assessments and raising questions, including letters being handed in at tonights meeting. For that reason the Mayor indicated that the assessment hearing would be continued to a later date to allow the City Staff time to review the questions, comments and objections, and write a response to them. At this time Mayor Zaun recognized Steve Adochio, who read a prepared statement listing concerns and questions concerning the project and assessments. Mr. Adochio gave a copy of the statement to the Council. At this time Keith Nelson presented a slide showing where the various improvements were made in the project area. He also showed slides giving the estimated final costs for the compo- nents of the project and the assessments. The final total project cost was $739,454. The total amount being assessed is $490,049. Mr. Nelson pointed out that the total cost for the street repair and overlay came to $259,763, of which $62,580 is being assessed at the rate of $447 per lot for those lots which have a restored and overlayed street in front of them. At this time Mayor Zaun recognized citizens who wished to speak to the Council regarding the project and assessments. Patrick Flannagen stated that he felt the citizens had not been represented strongly enough by their attorney and also raised concerns about the storm water planning of the City. , . f 1 ~ • i CITY OF LAKEVILLE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1986 Larry Olmstead asked why his property in the Meadows Addition is being assessed for a storm sewer lateral charge in addition to the storm sewer area charge. Mr. Nelson indicated that Mr. Olmstead's property, in part, drains on to 208th Street which has the storm sewer lateral system under it and collects the water . Larry Johnson indicated he felt his property on the corner of Jacquard and 210th Street, did not contribute drainage to the lateral system on 208th Street. Mr. Nelson indicated that his property does contribute water to the streets which flow into 208th Street storm drainage system; thereby, receiving benefit from both lateral storm sewer and the trunk area charge. Mark Miller asked about Lake Marion outlet and how this project was assessed compared to this project. The City Administrator explained that the Lake Marion outlet is paid out of the storm drainage trunk fund and that most of the property through which the new drainage ditch was constructed is now farm land and when it is developed it will be assessed the storm area charge through the development agreement. Dianne McGibbon stated that Iterri Avenue was not patched prior to the overlay and she felt that the $447 charge was for that part of the street work; theref ore, Iterri Avenue should have no assessment for the street work. Mark Miller indicated that when heavy rains occur water still comes over the curb at some locations and the staff indicated that these situations will be watched and if they contribute to similar problems for the area that steps will be taken to have the property owner put the water into the drain the system. In some instances that may require extending the storm the further south along a street south property owner can connect their service line to the public drain the system. 86-388 Motion by Enright, seconded by Sindt to continue the public hearing to October 8, 1986, at 8:30 p.m. at the City Council Chamber in Airlake Industrial Park.

The City Administrator explained that at the public hearing in July of 1985 the project was presented with street lighting only on one side of Holyoke Avenue which was less than what existed on a portion of Holyoke Avenue at that time.

Mr. John Kruse also questioned the diff erence in the final costs as it affected his home, compared to the estimated cost.
