concerning the 80 Street improvement project, specifically the elevation of the curb in

curb was installed at a higher elevation than what he was told it would be. It was
suggested that additional grading be done to level the incline. Mr. Sherer invited the
� Mayor, Council Members, and the Reporter from the Washington County Bulletin come
out and look at his driveway. The quality of the work perFormed by the City's contractor

• is substandard. Additionally, there is a communication problem between the City's
engineering firm and the contractor. Lastly, Mr. Sherer stated he has a retaining wall, a
block-type wall along his driveway. The contractor had to go about 10-feet back into his
new driveway. Now he has to go in and tear out and reinstall some of the wall.
Gus Riva, 8400 80 Street South, stated he was originally informed that the grade
elevation would not change. When he returned from his vacation, the grade at the curb
was down a good foot. Mr. Riva furnished photographs to the Council.
Dennis Laue, 8432 80 Street South, stated the morning the curb was installed he
asked whether the curb was going to remain at the same elevation. He was assured
that the specifications were checked, and the elevation would be the same. By 3:30
p.m. that afternoon the curb was put in wrong.
Mayor Denzer asked whether the engineer's reviewed these concerns and whether an
inspection been done? City Engineer Jerry Bourdon responded no final inspection has
been done. Because he was out of town, Bourdon requested an opportunity to look into
the situation.
Mayor Denzer directed the engineering firm to evaluate the situation as soon as
possible and return to the Council individually with a recommendation on how to
• proceed.

Metropolitan Council Environmental Services "MCES" Infrastructure
Administrator Schroeder reported on the "MCES" proposal regarding the roadway
improvements concurrent with the treatment plant expansion. The proposal related to
improving or reconstructing four (4) four different streets:
■ 110 Street South. east of Ideal Avenue. Improve the street to a nine-ton standard,
24-foot width roadway, totally funded by the Metropolitan Council.
Ideal Avenue from 110 Street to 100 Street. Overlay the existing 24-foot wide
roadway. In addition, they are suggesting that there should be a walkway. They are
not directly proposing to provide for construction of the roadway.
• ■ 100 Street South befinreen Ideal Avenue and Jamaica Avenue, and Jamaica
Avenue South from 100�' to TH 61. No improvements were proposed. They suggest
,
Regular Meeting — August 5, 1998
Cottage Grove City Council
Page 9
• that the City Council determine the scope of improvements, i.e. should a sidewalk be
installed. The MCES has offered $100,000 toward these improvements.
Administrator Schroeder stated Staff provided written notice to the residents in the area
inviting them to this evenings' meeting and informed them the public would be updated
and given an opportunity to comment on the proposal.
Schroeder acknowledged receipt of the letter from Douglas Orton, 7995 River Acres
Road. Mr. Orton requested in his letter that Jamaica Avenue be extended directl� to the
treatment plant site so the Metropolitan Council truck traffic would not be on 100 h
Street, Ideal Avenue, or 110 Street.
Council reviewed the letter drafted by Administrator Schroeder to Mr. Bryce Pickart of
MCES dated August 4, 1998, in response to their proposal.
Referencing the second paragraph of the draft letter, Council Member Hale commented
the City has not accepted the MCES mill and overlay proposal for ldeal Avenue. The
City needs to check on the condition of the road and do some soil boring samples to
determine whether or not it has sufficient capacity to handle the kind of traffic
anticipated.
. Council Member Hale commented it was his expectation that once we get further along
in our discussions with the MCES, the City's engineering firm would get more involved
in scope of the improvements.
Mayor Denzer stated that the City should insist that 100 Ideal, and 110 Streets be
reconstructed to nine-ton capacity with 30-foot widths.
Council Member Shiely commented that the letter captures the spirit of what the Council
has been talking about. It is not specific but it does state that we are doing this as a
service to the whole region.
Cecil Martin, 10870 Ideal Avenue South, stated that Ideal Avenue is sitting right on the
City's easement. The ditch is on his property. In order to straighten the road out you
would have to move it to the east and put it back in the road right-of-way where it is
suppose to be.
Gene Smallidge, 10992 Point Douglas Drive, and owner of the property immediately to
the east of Ideal Avenue between 100 Street and 110 Street stated he was
concerned about Mr. Martin's suggestion to re-align the road. Mr. Martin does not
understand the state statute pertaining to the right of adverse possession for property
boundaries. Smallidge stated the road has been at it present location in excess of 100
years. Therefore, it could not be relocated without compensating a property owner in the
. direction you wish to move the road.
Regular Meeting — August 5, 1998

• Mr. Smallidge voiced support for the Council's position. A paved overlay on Ideal and/or
100' Street would not be a long-term fix. It would be a waste of money and not a wise
investment. Smallidge agreed that the Metropolitan Council needs to totally reconstruct
the roads.
Smallidge stated he had one concern regarding the additional lanes being proposed. It
was his hope that the roadway, turn lanes and a little greenery in the ditch area could be
installed within the 33-foot right-of-way without infringing onto his property.
Mike Rygh stated that Ideal Avenue needs to be upgraded and that off-street bike paths
be installed. He stated the City's engineering firm should begin evaluating the roads and
prepare feasibility reports and cost estimates.
Mayor Denzer directed the City Administrator to send the letter to the MCES and
include the citizen comments.
RESPONSE TO PREVIOUSLY RAISED COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS —
None.
COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
• Council Member Kohls gave an update on the Watershed District meeting she attended
this evening.
Kohls stated the Watershed Districted voted tonight to proceed to undertake a new
study on what happens when storm water leaves the Woodbury border and come into
Cottage Grove. The study will cost approximately $130,000 and should be completed in
March 1999. Kohls stated Community Development Director Kim Lindquist sent a letter
to the Board requesting that they not make a decision on the study tonight because the
City has not had an opportunity to review the scope of the study and comment. The
Board agreed to discuss it with the Council at the August 19 Council meeting.
Kohls highlighted her testimony the Board to the public hearing. She stated she asked
the Watershed board to be truly committed to looking all alternatives, that all
alternatives be given a fair evaluation, that all interested parties be kept informed
throughout the process, that the latest technologies be utilized in their study, that they
reach a true environmental and economic balance, and that a decision not be made too
hastily based on a calendar. Lastly, Kohls stated she asked the Board to change their
meetings to a night other than the night of the Cottage Grove City Council meetings.
Denzer commended the Public Safety Department and all the employees who
participated in National Night Out.
. Council Member Wolcott requested that the Council and staff join in wishing our Mayor
a Happy Birthday today.

• Acting Public Safety Director Jim Kinsey formally recognized Mel Wallace who passed
away suddenly for all he has done for the City. Mr. Wallace served as a member of the
Cottage Grove Public Safety Department as a part-time police officer for over 15 years.
He was highly respected for his dedication and commitment to the City and was most
recently honored by the City as volunteer citizen of the year. Mel's presence was a
stabilizing force within the part-time reserve program and he was looked at as a leader,
he could always be counted on for any detail or project. He as not merely a volunteer
within the City, he was a true friend to all of use. Mel will truly be missed.
