ROSEMOUNT CIIJ PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEE PF JUNE 2► 198 Rich Hefti, city engineer, reported to Council that the Jay Simon's Addition/130th Street West street improvements project is complete according to the plans and specifications. Hefti stated that he and Short -Elliott - Hendrickson, the city's consulting engineering firm, have been working with residents in this area to resolve some of the problems resulting from the lack of restoration work to the project. Steve Campbell of Short -Elliott - Hendrickson proposed that a change order be approved for the restoration work involving sod, seeding and top soil. Campbell also recommended bituminous spillways for some of the driveways as well as additional grading to eliminate the deep ditches. Campbell estimated the cost of this change order to be $11,300 and advised his firm would negotiate with the contractor on a unit price basis. Following discussion on this item, Council concurred that Short -Elliott - Hendrickson work with Rich Hefti, city engineer, to furnish an itemized cost list of the individual restoration items required for this project. Council also agreed that the consulting engineering firm should share some of the responsibility in the restoration costs and should provide a proposal to Council for their share of costs as well as the contractor's responsibility. Council requested that these items be prepared for the next Regular Council meeting. Councilmember Walsh questioned whether a permanent solution had been found regarding the curve at the end of 130th Street as discussed at a Council meeting last winter. Hefti stated he would discuss this with the traffic engineer for Short -Elliott -Hendrickson and provide a status report regarding solutions to this problem at the next Council meeting. Councilmember Napper advised that he has been contacted by a few residents in regards to the temporary agricultural shelters on land being rented by the Hmongs for truck farming. Napper stated that some of the residentsarenot pleased with the appearance and sanitary conditions involved with these temporary shelters. Residents in opposition to these temporary shelters believed it to be the responsibility of the landowner to put up permanent structures. Lessors of the property to the Hmongs stated that Hmong customs and the turnover of farmers from year to year prohibit permanent structures from being feasible. Dean Johnson, Community Development Director, advised the zoning ordinances for agricultural land do not address these issues but rather the City Codes would have to be amended. Councilmember Napper suggested that the residents in this area meet and try to resolve this issue. Council agreed with this suggestion; and if, in a month's time a solution cannot be found, staff will be instructed to research the issues involved and possibly set a public hearing to consider amending the City Code. The Administrator advised that Dean Johnson will be attending the 1987 Minnesota Economic Summit on June 19, 1987.
