Paul Oehme presented the staff report on this item. The action being requested is to hold
a public hearing, approve the feasibility study and order the preparation of the plans and
specifications for this project. He outlined in detail the proposed construction projects
and assessment costs associated with each project. Mayor Furlong opened the public
hearing and invited people to speak by street address, beginning with the Lake Lucy
Road area. Pat Johnson, 1730 Lake Lucy Road stated when they went through this
process about 3 years ago, many of the neighbors were upset by the way they were
treated by staff. This is a different staff and different administration and they have been
treated very well. Have done a nice job of presenting options to the neighbors.
Concerning the sewer, since the road's not going to be ripped up again for at least 15
years, at some point in time the septic systems are going to fail and his concern is that
perhaps the State's going to make some residents change their systems anyway. Scott
Eiman, 1206 Lake Lucy Road stated he does not think it's a good idea to make any road
skinnier at this day and time. Lake Lucy Road handles a lot of emergency vehicle traffic.
He also did not want a jogging path on his side of the road, feeling there's more room on
the south side. Todd Gerhardt asked staff to explain where exactly the trail would be
located on Lake Lucy Road. Mr. Eiman also asked for clarification on the location of the
trail, if the easement would move and drainage concerns. He stated there are some yards
where the jogging trail goes through the side yards and those people were not notified of

City Council Summary - January 10, 2005
this meeting. Bob Kendall, 1645 Lake Lucy Road stated support of the improvements
but as a real estate appraiser and owner of a real estate appraising business has concerns
with the fees and how does a person re-occur those values from $28,000 if you were
going to sell. If you're going to sell in the next 10 years, you'd have to pay the
assessment. He also asked for additional street lights, an additional foot or so of parking
for his Christmas display and lowering the speed limit to 30 miles an hour. Mark
Williams, 1655 Lake Lucy Road stated he had submitted a fairly detailed e-mail but
wanted to say this assessment seems a lot fairer than the last one a couple years ago but
he still has a problem where 40 percent of some cost is being assessed to the homeowners
who's driveways abut Lake Lucy Road saying that those people use probably 5 percent or
less of the road in terms of volume of traffic. He also had some concerns with the
balloting for sewer and changing the large lot zoning designation. Mayor Furlong opened
the public hearing for the Pioneer Trail area. John J who lives at 1050 Homestead Lane,
on the inside curve of Homestead Lane and was concerned with the amount of truck
traffic on the road because of all the home businesses and suggested widening the curve
or installing a curb for safety reasons. Mayor Furlong opened the public hearing for the
Chan View and City Hall/fire station improvement project. Mayor Furlong closed the
public hearing. After council discussion, the following motion was made.
Resolution #2005-08: Councilman Lundquist moved, Councilman Peterson
seconded to adopt the attached resolution and authorize preparation of plans and
specifications for the 2005 street improvement projects, with the exception of sewer
and water in the Lake Lucy Road/Steller Court project. All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to o.

6570 Galpin Boulevard
Kate Aanenson presented the staff report and Planning Commission update on this
project, specifically addressing tree loss and grading, street connection to existing
neighborhoods, and drainage issues related to Lot 27. The council asked for clarification
on the depth and maintenance costs associated with the sewer lines. Kate Aanenson
clarified wording on certain conditions on pages 9 through 13. Councilman Labatt asked
for clarification on what is proposed to happen with the sliver ofland off Brenden Court,
Lot 27, street connection to Crestview Drive, and park needs in this area. He asked staff
to look at the length of the turn lane on Galpin to make sure it's adequate for the speeds
and traffic on that road and if the owner to the north is going to be compensated for trees
that are lost due to construction of this turn lane. Councilman Lundquist asked for
clarification of the zoning densities, and changing of the zoning from RR to RSF.
Councilwoman Tjornhom asked that Chairman Sacchet from the Planning Commission
be allowed to speak regarding the issue of the street connection. Councilman Peterson
asked for clarification on what can be done to Lot 27 regarding the easement. Mayor
Furlong asked staff if there was a compromise that works to accomplish the goal of trying
to connect the neighborhoods in terms of building something more than a city of cul-de-
sacs and private drives, and yet at the same time address some of the neighbors concerns.
Nathan Franzen with Plowshares Development stated they and staff have come to a
conclusion on pretty much everything to date, with the exception of one thing and that
being the elimination of Lot 27, or condition (p). He explained all the actions they will
take to ensure that Lot 27 is built to the proper specifications. He also stated they are in
agreement with staff on condition (0) for the street connection to the Shivley
development and Crestview Drive. Chris Moehrl with Westwood Professional
Engineering explained drainage calculations that have been done for Lot 27. Vii Sacchet,
Chairman of the Planning Commission clarified their recommendations relating to the
street connection and the elimination of Lot 27. Mayor Furlong asked Todd Hoffman to
elaborate on the park coverage issue. He then opened the meeting to the public for new
information. Tim Larkin, speaking for himself and the neighbors in the Crestview
neighborhood, explained how the street connection leads to an inequity and causes safety
concerns. Alan Nikolai, 6282 Cartway Lane speaking on behalf of his mother, Doris
Nikolai who lives at 6570 Galpin Boulevard, addressed the issues of the trees being
impacted due to the turn lane construction, whether they're on public right-of-way or
private property and the location of the turn lane in relation to his mother's driveway.
Andrew Johnson with Lecy Bros Construction explained their position on the trail
location. After council discussion, the following motions were made.
Councilman Lundquist moved, Councilman Peterson seconded that the City
