City Council Minutes 01-26-1978 I I I MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING January 26, 1975 - 10:00 A.M. Members present: C. o. Johnson, D. Blonigen, A. Grimsmo, G. Walters, P. White. Members absent: None Following are numbered items of discussion prepared by Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, the City's consulting engineering firm, relative to the Street Improvement Program, followed by the Council's action. See Agenda Sup- plement 1-26-78 for map. 1. Existing curb along north side of River Street. Possible salvage _ curb generally has grade and is located 18' off center line. Condition of gutter is unknown due to balcktop overlay in some areas. Have there been past drainage problems? - CURB NOT TO BE SALVAGED. 2. Existing storm sewer in Locust Street is 10" clay pipe. (This was a former sanitary sewer). Due to past street washouts, this pipe should be replaced with 12" R. C.P. The existing pipe lacks design capacity for 5 year rainfall. - REPLACE. 3. The north half of Front Street right-of-way (40') is vacated. To keep the proposed 5' driveway aprons from encroaching on private property, a 28' wide street is recommended. This was not noted in our January 19, 1978 report. - FRONT FROM LINN TO WALNUT - 2S'; LINN, LOCUST, WALNUT FROM RIVER TO FRONT - 28'. 4. River Street should be shifted 8' to.the south to avoid embankment problems. ENGINEER TO GET COST ON MOVING STREET. 5. and 6. Limits of new street construction to be determined. Refer to January 19, 1978 report. 5.. ",,_.UP TO WEST PROPERTY LINE OF HOSPITAL; 6. - UP TO OAK STREET. 7. Interim storm sewer should be constructed as discussed in January 19, 1978 report. APPROVED. 8. Area northeast of the intersection is lower than the proposed street. A catch basin inlet can be constructed in the right-of-way behind the curb. This area has been noted for past problems. (Flooding at the Ed Klucas residence.) ASK EDGAR KLUCAS IF HE WANTS THIS AT HIS COST. 9. Areas east and west of Minnesota Street are slightly lower than the proposed street. No past problems are known. Provisions for storm sewer are not considered at this time. - NO ACTION NECESSARY. I I I 1/26/78 10. Same as Item 9, except at northeast corner. - NO ACTION NECESSARY. 11. Existing curb on south side of street should be removed and replaced. Lack of proper grade for drainage and its elevation does match proposed grade. APPROVED. 12. Presently there is perpendicular parking against the Legion Club build- ing. The existing sidewalk is located 33' off plat center line. This is 12' behind the proposed back of curb. This parking should be eli- minated and driveway aprons should be placed to control traffic enter- ing and leaving the parking areas. The council may consider 'establishing a maxinmm driveway width wherever feasible. - NO PERPENDICULAR PARKING, BUT ACCESSES WOULD BE ALLOWED. 13. Existing curb on north side of street should be removed and replaced. It is located 26' off center line and is higher than the proposed center line grade. APPROVED. 14. There is perpendicular parking along the side of building at Maus Shopping Center. There is 22' between the sidewalk and proposed back of curb. As discussed in Item 13, this should be avoided. SEE ITEM 25. 15. Area of partial street vacation. Should this be paved? - SHOULD BE PAVED - 9 TON. 16. The railroad crossing should be widened and centered on right-of- way. The intersection of Co. Rd. 39 and Elm Street will be recon- structed such that Co. Rd. 39 will intersect at a right angle. This has been approved by the County Engineer. The intersection of 5th Street will be shifted 100' ~ south to match platted center line. This street will also intersect Elm at a right angle. TABLED UNTIL BNR COULD BE CONTACTED ON COST; HOWEVER, CONSENSUS WAS TO HAVE A RIGHT ANGLE AT INTERSECTION. 17. 18. and 20. The end of pavement should be defined. - 17. & 18. CURB ACCESS - BLACKTOP - ALSO FROM 3RD TO R.R. TRACKS ON CEDAR - 24' BLACKTOP. 20. - CURB ACCESS, BLACKTOP, CURB & GUTTER. 19. The existing railroad crossing at Maple Street is 26'. A 36' wide street is proposed. - KEITH NELSON TO CONTACT BNR. 21. The extended storm sewer as proposed for Maple Street will not be low enough to serve future development without some major filling in the low areas. The area east and west of this point is 2' - 3' below existing street grade. Due to the shallow depths of existing sanitary sewer, the proposed storm sewer cannot be lowered any further without being installed underneath the sanitary sewer which will increase costs substantially. - NO ACTION. 22. The proposed curb and gutter is recommended to be continued through the curve at Seventh Street. Again, there is a similar situation as discussed in Item 21. - ALSO CONSIDER BLACKTOP TO INTERSTATE 94. THIS TO BE SUBJECT OF HEARING. - 2- I I I 1/26/78 23. A cul-de-sac should be constructed at this location. This will ease city maintenance problems such as snow removal. It will discourage transient traffic from commuting through the apartment complex. It should be noted that this was originally proposed on the building plans, but no easement was ever recorded dedicating right-of-way to the city for the cul-de-sac. An easement should be pursued from the property owner. - BLACKTOP ONLY UP TO RIOOEMONT APTS. 24. A retaining wall is recommended along the north side of the street. See discussion in the January 19, 1978 report. - NOTHING TO BE DONE IN THIS AREA AT PRESENT TIME. Following are additional items of discussion at the meeting: 25. Motion by C. Johnson, seconded by G.
