PUBLIC HEARINGS
7.a. 2011 Street Improvements Project and Assessment Hearing, City Project #432
Project Engineer Olson provided a brief overview of the project including the summary of proposed
improvements.
Council Member Kearney questioned the age of the roads in the Valley Oak area. Mr. Olson
explained that the particular area was deteriorated due to the poor sub grade materials used to build
the road in the late 1980s. Director of Public Works /City Engineer Brotzler explained the Pavement
Management Program and the benefits of the program.
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing.
Gary Gould, 4131 145` Street, Rosemount, questioned the proposed sidewalks and the utility lines
located by his property. Mr. Olson explained that the City was working with the utility companies to
relocate some of the power line poles. However, because the pedestrian improvements were not
being made the poles would not be relocated. Mr. Brotzler added that while the City is not moving
forward with the pedestrian improvements at this time it did not mean that sidewalks would not be
installed as part of a future project. Mr. Gould stated that he and his neighbors would support
sidewalks if they were installed as part of a larger project that would connect to other sidewalk
systems. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan added that the City has an overall plan for the entire City
for pedestrian improvements. Mr. Brotzler stated he would meet with Mr. Gould about the
improvements that may be included in the project for next year.
Stephen Helder, 14679 Evergreen Trail, Rosemount, provided comment on behalf of the First
Baptist Church. He questioned where the bike lane would be located. Mr. Olson replied that the
bike lanes would be located on the north and south sides of the road. Mr. Helder expressed
concerns about potential accidents based upon the amount of traffic in and out of their facility
parking lot. Mr. Brotzler stated that bicyclists are allowed by law to be on the road today and follow
the rules of the road. He added that the City's goal is to improve alternative modes of travel as part
of a larger plan adopted by the City Council.

Project Engineer Olson provided a brief overview of the project including the summary of proposed

Council Member Kearney questioned the assessments along the north side of 145` street and if

and adds it in as a City cost. Council Member DeBettignies questioned the calculation for the First
Baptist Church. Mr. Olson explained how the calculation was determined.
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing.
Gary Gould, 4131 145 Street West, Rosemount, provided comment on the assessment about the
