is su6standard. 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 contractar had to go about 10-feet back into his
new driveway. Now he has to ga 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 instailed 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
inspectio� 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
possibie and return to the Council individually with a recommendation on how to
proceed.

Rdministrator Schroeder reported on the "MCES" proposal regarding the roadway
improvements concurrent with the treatment plant expansion. The proposal related to
improving or reconstrucfing four (4) four different streets:
110�'' Street South east of Ideal Avenue. lmprove the street to a nine-tan standard,
24-foot widfh roadway, totally funded by #he Metropolitan Gauncil.
ideai 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 propasing 4a provide for construction of the roadvvay.
= 100 Street South between Ideaf Avenue and Jamaica Avenue, and Jamaica
Avenue South frorn 100 to TH Ei1. Na improvements were proposed. 7hey suc�gest
Regular Meeting — August 5, 1998
Cottage Grove City Cauncil
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.
Rdministrator Schroeder stated Staff provided written notice to the residents in the area
inviting them to this evenings' meeting end informed them the public would be updated
and given an opportuniYy ta comment on the proposal.
Schroeder acknowledged receipt of the letter from Dauglas Orton, 7995 River Acres
Road. Mr. Orton requested in his letter that Jamaica Avenue be extended directi� to the
treatment plant site so the Metropolitan Council truck traffic would not be on 100"
Stre2t, Ideal Avenue, or 110` Street.
Gouncil reviewed the Ietter drafted by Administrator Schroeder to Mr. Bryce Pickart of
MCES dated August 4, 1998, in response to tneir proposal.
Referencing the second paragraph of the draft letter, Council Member Hale commented
the City has not accepted the MCES rnill and overlay proposal for ldeal Avenue. The
City needs to check on the condition of the road and do some soil boring sampies to
determine whether or not it has sufficient capacity to handle the kind of trsffic
anticipated.
Council Member Hale commented it was his expectation that once we get further a�ong
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 abaut. It is not specific but it does state that we are doing this as a
service to the whole region.
Cecil tviartin, 10870 Ideal Avenue South, stated that Ideal Avenue is sitting right on the
City's easement The ditch is on his property. !n order to straighten the road out you
would have 4o move it to the east and put it back in the road right-of-way where it is
suppose Yo be.
Gene 8mallidge, 90992 Paint Douglas Drive, and owner of the property immediately ta
the east of Ideai Avenue between 100� Street and 110�" Street stated he was
concerned about Pvir. Martin's suggestion to re-align the road. Mr. Martin does not
understand the state staYute pertaining to the right of adverse passessian for property
boundaries. Smallidge stated the road has been at it present location in excess of 100
years. Therefare, if could not be relacated vdithout compensating a property owner in the
direction you wish to move Yhe raad.

Mr. Smaliidge voiced support for the Council's position. A paved overlay an Ideal and/or
100 Street wouid not be a long-term fix. It would be a waste of money and nat a wise
investment. Smallidge agreed tnat the Metropolitan Council needs to totaily reconstruct
the roads.
Smallidge stated he had one concern regarding the additional Ianes being proposed. It
was his hope that the roadway, turn lanes and a Iittle greenery in the ditch area could be
instailed within the 33-foot right-of-way without infringing onto his property.
Mike Rygh stated that Ideal Avenue needs ta 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 Ci4y 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.
Kohis stated the Watershed Districted voted tonight to proceed to undertake a new
study on wnat happens when storm water leaves the Woodbury border and come into
Cottage Grove. The study will cost approximateiy $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 nat make a decision on the study tonight because the
City has not had an opportur�ity to review the scope af the study and comment. The
Boarci agreed [o discuss it with the Council at 2he Augusi iy Councif ineeting.
Kohis highlighted her testimony Yhe Board to 4he public hearing. She sYated she asked
the Watershed board to be truly committed to looking aIl alternatives, that ali
aiternatives be given a fair evaluation, that all interested parties be kept informed
throughaut the process, that the latest technologies be utilized in their study, that they
reach a 4rue enviranmental and economic baiance, and that a decision nat be made too
hastily based on a calendar. Lastly, Kohis stated she asked the Board to change Yheir
meetings to a night other than the night of the Cottage Grove City Council meetings.
Denzer commended the Public Safety Department and all the empioyees who
participated in IVaticsnal Night Out.
