1. STREET IMPROVEMENT NO. BA-259
Location: Vernon Avenue from Gleason Road to Lincoln Drive; Lincoln Drive from
Vernon Avenue to Londonderry Drive
Engineer. Hoffman recalled the the public hearing on special assessment for Street
Improvement No. BA-259, Vernon Avenue from Gleason Road to Lincoln Drive; Lincoln
Drive from Vernon Avenue to Londonderry Drive, had been continued by the Council
at their meeting of September 17, 1984, to this date so that the developers of The
Habitat who had appeared in objection to the proposed assessment could prepare and
present a specific proposal as to assessment for the irregular shaped Lots 1, 5, 6
and 14 abutting Lincoln Drive.
assessing lots that do not front on the improved street is to assess against 1/3 of
the proposed footage. -He pointed out that the Council had 'reduced a backyard assess-
ment from 1/3 of the total footage to 1/6 of the total foot'age for the Dewey Hill
Road project.
is that the City would allow access to the Dewey Hill project and no access was
allowed in The Habitat project due to the road configuration.
is some added value as a result of the lmproved roaubay but would recommend the
Council review this as a slightly different situation than normal to decide if the
ratio of assessable footage should be reduced. Rudy Trones, &*developer of The
Habitat, was present and stated their objections to the assessment as proposed for
these reasons: 1) the design of The Habitat projeet is such that no usage of the side
or back yards for acess is permissable as stated in the resolution approving the plat,
and 2) the D.N.R. wetlands on Lot 5 and 6 emcompass 50% of these lots diminishing
usable space and therefore the effective yard footage should be reduced accordingly.
In response to Member Richards as.to a specific proposal for the assessment, Mr. Trones

responded that he felt the assessment should be spread over all properties in the
area whose only egress is onto Vernon Avenue/Lincoln Drive. Mr. Hoffman advised
that if the proposed assessment were reduced for these lots, the City could apply
for State Aid Funds for the balance of the cost not assessed. After further
discussion, Member Schmidt moved the assessment for Street Improvement No. BA-259
as proposed in the Analysis of Assessment presented at the meeting of September 17,
1984. Member Richards argued that because
the plat approval was conditioned upon no direct access from these lots to Vernon
Avenue/Lincoln Drive that the proposed assessable footage for these lots be reduced
from 1/3 to 1/6 and offered an amendment to the motion for such action. The amend-
ment was seconded by Member Bredesen.
L Motion was seconded by Member Turner.

Mayor Courtney then called the motion as amended that the proposed assessable footage
for Lots 1, 5, 6 and 14, The Habitat, be reduced from 1/3 (280.67 total footage) to
1/6 (140.34 total footage) .

The drive-through would access from the existing curb cut on York Avenue and would

. RE!PORT GIVEN ON WEST 70TH STREET. Mr. Rosland recalled that at the last Council
Meeting residents of West 70th Street had expressed their concerns regarding the
heavy traffic on the street and the problems caused thereby. The Council had then
instructed the City Engineer to bring back proposals from several traffic consult-
ants for a study of the entire area of West 70th Street from Highway 100 to-France
Avenue. Proposals have been received from Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. at a
maximum fee of $12,900; Bennett, Ringrose, Wolsfeld, Jarvis, Gardner, Inc. (BRIJ) at
a maximum fee of $9,400; and Strgar-Roscoe, Inc. at a maximum fee of $11,300. Staff
has reviewed the proposals and would recommend. either BRW or Strgar-Roscoe be
authorized to conduct the study.

culating the petition presented to the Council; Scott Rogan, 4720 W. 70th Street,
Bob Burnett, Principal of Cornelia School; Julie Carr, 7301 Oaklawn Avenue; Patti
Watson, 4424 W. 70th Street and Donna Montgomery 6824 Oaklawn Avenue. Major concerns
voiced were the danger to children and residents attempting to cross W. 70th Street at
Cornelia Drive,.need for a semaphone at the intersection, and strong objection to the
striping at the intersection for four lanes of traffic.
a safer method has been worked out with the help of the Police Department whereby
adult crossing guards have stepped out into the street, after the outside lane of
traffic has been stopped, to hold up a "Stop" sign for the inner lane of traffic,
but he pointed out that when the winter weather arrives and the street becomes
icy the adult guards will refuse to take that risk of stepping into the street.
After considerable discussion, Member Turner moved that 1) the Council authorize
the traffic study to be completed as soon as possible with a goal of 90 days to
be done by the firm of Strgar-Roscoe, Inc., 2) an advisory committee be appointed

off-duty vs. on-duty Police Officers was raised. Mr. Rosland clarified that at
phe present time the on-duty Officer from that zone has been going to that inter-
section during the hours when students are crossing unless he is called away for
an emergency or accident. Chief Swanson pointed out that the Officer going to
that scene is 25% of the available Police Officers on duty, that the Officer is
there now less than one-half of the time during those hours, and that during the
ice and snow season may be called for emergencies so that no Officer will be at
that intersection. He noted that the Reserve Police Officers are working people
in the community and would not be available at those times.

be advisory to the Council only and that any final decisions regarding W. 70th
Street would be made by the Council.
