Thirty-four (34) residents on and around Dodd Boulevard submitted a petition to have 132nd Street from Highway 3 to Dodd Boulevard and Dodd Boulevard from 132nd Street to County Road 38 paved. A cost estimate was prepared, which included the petitioned section of road as well as Dodd Boulevard from County Road 38 north to 120th Street. The total cost was divided equally among the benefitted properties and a letter was mailed out to all parties informing them of the project cost. The letter asked for an indication of support for the project at the proposed costs. The majorityofthe responses were negative. That indicated the lack of support for the project as proposed. There has been on-going discussions with some of the residents on what can be done to eliminate the rough, dusty conditions that exist with Dodd, a gravel road. Our purpose at the Council meeting will be to discuss alternatives and try to answer questions relating to each. There may be some residents present to share in the discussion. After ourldiscussion we may decide a "neighborhood" meeting is needed. The goal is to reach a consensus with the affected property owners and be in position to do a project next spring if that is the desired conclusion.

We, the undersigned, do petition the City of Rosemount to pave Dodd Rd. from County Road 38,South to 132nd Street and East to State Highway 3, approximately 4000 feet. We as the undersigned group of people pray that the City of Rosemount and/or the County of Dakota pays for all requested improvements. If assessments are to be considered, they should be divided equally among the property owners on Dodd Rd.., south to 132nd Street and east to State Highway 3, as well as those on Dodd Ct., Charlston Way and Charlston Court, and 131st St. in consideration that all owners need access Dodd Rd. and would share equally in the benefits of the improvement''.

Costs: Unstable bed requires constant maintenance to no avail. Property values. Preserve: Dodd Rd. is one of the earliest roads in MN. and thus has historical value. ��� �C o ►� ,e tV RN to j f 1 Tj 46) 7Oa� ' ST S % LGJ �7 �Ucxk p l a p41 -aA ot"fi e5lA*- C�CN RA") i e 1 �i1ee` ,T6-(4 PA) L 54 S AV d n - - IIL- i o Rosemou PHONE (612) 423-4411 2875 - 145th Street West, Rosemount, Minnesota FAX (612) 423-5203 Mailing Address: P.
