through the park at a later time. She asked that the possibility of a road be struck
from the proposal.

Mr. Dumond noted that there have been some miscommunications between the
developer and the Public Works Department as to where grading had to be
completed in other Carriage Homes projects; i.e., Meadowbrook and Northern
Slopes. Mr. Dumond was in agreement that the item should be tabled until the
issues of grading, seeding, some drainage issues and barricades at the end of
some private roads were resolved.

been asked to initiate legal action against Carriage Homes for failure to live up to
their promises as to the approved grading plan of Meadowbrook and Northern
Slopes.
Councilmember Senjem was concerned about some of the findings relating to the
proposed land uses being generally in accord. The Planning staff says that the
southwest portion cited for medium density residential is not consistent. He noted
his concerns about 1, 2, and 6 findings.
Councilmember Marcoux noted that after talking with neighbors and staff and Mr.
Dumond, condition 1 should be changed to delete all reference to a roadway
extension through the park and specifying a 60-foot pedestrian access to the park
from this development. She stated that she could not support a roadway extension
through the park.

"Reconstruction of 16 Y2, 17t', 17 Y2 Streets from 18t' Avenue N.W. to 19t' Avenue
N.W.; and Reconstruction of 18 Y2 Street from 18t' Avenue N.W. to 20t' Avenue
N.W."
Wishing to be heard was Gene Miller, 1826 18 Y2 Street N.W. Mr. Miller brought a
petition to the Council signed by people on 18'h Street N.W. objecting to the
project. He was representing 18'/2 Street between 18t' and 19t�' Avenue N.W.
Doug Nelson, Public Works Department, informed the Council that a neighborhood
meeting was held on September 17t'. Based on the meetings, one street segment
was dropped due to the meeting. Due to the positive response to the rest of the
area, the Public Works Department decided to proceed with the rest of the project.
Councilmember McConnell asked Mr. Miller if the residents of his neighborhood
who signed the petition would want 18 Y2 Street overlaid rather than reconstructed.
Mr. Miller stated that the petition indicated that the residents do not want anything.
He also noted that last year 18t' Street was resurfaced with no cost to the
neighborhood; he asked why.
Wishing to be heard was Sonny Feind, 1806 18'/2 Street N.W. He stated that when
the petition was brought around, people were not aware of the full benefits of the
project. He asked that more information be given.
Wishing to be heard was Pam Lembke, 1852 18'/2 Street N.W. She was
concerned about what was happening with the Highway 52 project. She
understood that the highway reconstruction would to make 18'h Avenue, at the end
of their street, the new frontage road. If this was true, she could not see
construction vehicles in a year from now using their street and ruining new
construction.
Wishing to be heard was Harold Meredith, 1807 18'/2 Street N.W. Mr. Meredith
questioned the financing aspect of the project. He asked about the extra tax
monies and why they couldn't be used for street use.
Wishing to be heard was Virgil Lukes, 1803 18 Y2 Street N.W., not in favor of the
project. His home is in the path of the Highway 52 renovation; why should he have
to pay when he will only be living there a couple more years.
Wishing to be heard was Gerald Cook. 1842 16 Y2 Street N.W. Mr. Cook is in favor
of the project. He believes it would not only help increase the value of the homes
but also solve the bad street problem; they are in very poor shape.

Richard Freese, Public Works Director, spoke to some of the questions. He
indicated that the final layout plan for the Highway 52 project has not been
presented by MnDot to the City for approval as of yet but should be forthcoming
within the next 60-90 days. The plans will contain the final right-of-ways for the
project. It is impossible for the Public Works Department to know if a particular
property is in or out of the project at this point. If the project is made, the lien is put
against the property and the future buyer would be obligated to work with the owner
to pay off the lien. If there is not support for the project, it will be brought back to
the neighborhood in two years to see if there is interest at that time. Mr. Freese
indicated that none of the drawings that he has seen from MnDot have ever shown
18th Avenue as a frontage road for the Highway 52 project but there would be a
connection between the frontage road and 18th Avenue. Mr. Freese explained the
new policy the Council adopted in July 1997 for pavement maintenance which
includes preservation, rehabilitation and reconstruction. 18th Avenue, resurfaced
last year at no cost to the homeowners, was under the old policy. Once a street
gets to a certain pavement condition, reconstruction is the only option.
Councilmember McConnell asked for clarification from Mr. Miller as to the location
for those signing the petition. It was noted that it was 18'/z Street N.W. east of 19th
Avenue N.W.
Wishing to be heard was Chris Fromdahl, 1641 18th Avenue N.W., on the corner of
17th Street. He thought that it was a waste of money; the street was in good
shape.
Wishing to be heard was Sonny Feind, 1806 18'/z Street N.W. He was also
concerned about streets being overlaid at the present time with no assessments
being levied against properties.
Wishing to be heard was Keith Geolat, 1832 18'/2 Street N.W. He was one of the
people responsible for getting the petition together. He wondered why 18th Street
was done last year.
Richard Freese, Public Works, noted that the Department initiated the resurfacing
of 18th Street N.W. last year knowing that by doing so they could extend the life of
the road by 15 years.
Wishing to be heard was Harold Meredith, 1807 18 Y2 Avenue N.W. He stated that
he had been asking the Public Works Department for many years to resurface the
street; now it's proposed to be done when the residents have to pay for it.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, McConnell seconded, to adopt Resolution No.
644-98 approving Project No. 6008-99 (J-9520) "Reconstruction of 16 Y2, 17th, 17 Y2
Streets from 18th Avenue N.W. to 19th Avenue N.W.; and Reconstruction of 18'/2
Street from 18th Avenue N.W. to 20th Avenue N.W.", eliminating 18 Y2 Street
between 18th and 19th Avenue N.W. Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion carried.

D-10 I A Hearing to Consider Local Improvement Project No. 6307-2-99 (J-9523)
"Reconstruction of 7th Avenue S.E. from 6th Street S.E. to 12th Street S.E."
Wishing to be heard was Sandy Mitchell, 938 Seventh Avenue S.E. Ms. Mitchell
stated that there was only one neighborhood meeting on the project and not
everyone was able to attend; more meetings should be scheduled. She indicated
that she did not feel that the street needed reconstruction and definitely no curb and
gutter. She was also concerned about the inconvenience during the reconstruction
and how garbage trucks and groceries will be delivered.
Doug Nelson, Public Works Department, stated that two weeks' notice was given
prior to the meeting. About 35 people out of 96 were in attendance and showed
support for the project. Provision is made for garbage trucks and some limited
access.
Wishing to be heard was Tim Cary, 623 11th Street S.E. Mr. Cary said that the
neighborhood realized that 7th Avenue was in need of repair. However, they are
unable to pay the price of reconstruction and asked why overlay wouldn't work. He
did not feel that the value of their homes was increased by the reconstruction of the
street to the extent that the City is saying. The City has monies to spend in the
downtown area, why not in the neighborhoods. Mr. Cary also noted that they need
more stop signs in the neighborhood to stop the excessive speeds of the traffic
traveling through it.
Wishing to be heard was James Matthews, 704 101h Street S.E. Mr. Matthews
noted that they had not received notice of the neighborhood meeting until late. He
felt that the assessments were too large for the properties.
Wishing to be heard was Stephanie Snow, 828 7th Avenue S.E. Ms. Snow asked
that the project go through. She felt that the reconstruction of the street would
benefit her property.

Wishing to be heard was Mary Kepp, 818 Ph Avenue S.E. Ms. Kepp thought that
the curb and gutter should be constructed. The reconstruction was worth the value
to the property and would keep the neighborhood looking good.
Wishing to be heard was Nevin Durgin, 702 9th Street S.E. Mr. Durgin was
opposed to the cost and the assessment to the people.
Wishing to be heard was Jack Chapman, 1040 7th Avenue S.E. Mr. Chapman

"Reconstruction of Walden Lane S.W. from Folwell Drive S.W. to Skyline Drive
S.W."
Wishing to be heard was Herta Matteson, 1752 Walden Lane S.W. She was in
agreement that the street needed to be reconstructed but thought that the street
was severely damaged by the truck traffic during the development of Baihly
Heights. Most of the truck traffic was on Walden Lane during the start of the
building of Baihly Heights. She questioned the time frame for repair of the street
because of continued truck traffic. Ms. Matteson was concerned about safety on
the street when it is repaired because of the heavy amount of traffic and the
number of children living along it. She said that at the present time there are many
potholes due to wash out during rain.

them to seek legal counsel, however, she did not have an attorney present. Ms.
Marshall noted the inability of the two youth gyms located in Rochester to work
together to promote amateur boxing. She stated a difference in philosophy for the
two groups. However, when Council members questioned Ms. Marshall, she
indicated that they also held events in areas where alcohol was available.(Kahler
Hotel) but did not have ring girls at,any time at their matches.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Anderson, 220 Salem Point Drive S.W.,
representing the Fourth Street Gym. Mr. Anderson stated that they had difficulty in
getting dates for boxing events even though the Rochester Youth Boxing Club was
to work with them. Mr. Anderson said that they needed to ask the Rochester Youth
Club when they wanted to use the franchise but that the Rochester Youth Club
would not indicate any of their commitments to them. He indicated that this is a
local issue and the Golden Gloves organization located in the Twin Cities area
should not be involved.

suffering from the lack of cooperation between the two clubs. Clubs need to notify
each other as to the dates of their commitments. Councilmember Senjem noted his
dissatisfaction with smoking, cards, alcohol and the use of ring girls during the
amateur events. All Councilmembers did not feel that this was an appropriate
environment for youth sports. They indicated that if the clubs cannot get along, the
franchise may not be awarded in future years.

with the stipulation that they will be looked at just as hard next year. Motion died for
