City Council Minutes <br /> November 5, 2019 <br /> Page 12 of 16 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. Houle stated that the small curb on the west side of South Washington <br /> Avenue, east side of the Legion parking lot will stay there. He stated there is <br /> going to be parallel parking on South Washington Avenue just like there is now <br /> and on the East side there is going to be a parking up against the building just <br /> like it is now. He stated that there is probably going to be another parallel <br /> parking stall or maybe two into the grass area. Mr. Houle stated that the drive <br /> that comes out of the Legion's parking lot to South Washington Avenue will stay <br /> there and he said the trees will likely be removed. He added that on the street <br /> side they will have storm sewer and there will be a slight elevation change. <br /> Council discussion ensued about closing off the Legion's parking lot entrance on <br /> Main Street and trying to put it on South Washington Avenue but the Legion <br /> would lose too much parking on both the private side and public side. <br /> 9.6. North Sluetter Road Proiect <br /> Jason Gorr stated that on September 25th he, Nancy Malecha, Tim Houle, and <br /> an Anderson Brothers representative met and discussed items and concerns <br /> regarding the paving of North Sluetter Road with a rustic road definition. Mr. Gorr <br /> stated that the width of the southern portion of North Sluetter Road is adequate <br /> and there is a fairly adequate drainage slope in that section. He stated as you go <br /> north towards the middle section for the road there is a need for clearing, <br /> grubbing, and ditch work to help prevent any premature degradation. He stated <br /> that in that section there is no place for the water to go and they do not want to <br /> create erosion issues so that portion of the road is a concern. Mr. Gorr stated <br /> that the northerly portion, smaller section towards the top, is already paved. He <br /> explained that this portion was constructed by the developer and paving was <br /> required by the City prior to accepting maintenance responsibilities. <br /> Council discussion ensued about special assessments for this project and is the <br /> rustic road classification appropriate for drainage to get water off the pavement to <br /> protect the investment. <br /> Mr. Gorr stated they did identify what they thought were a couple of wetlands and <br /> said those cannot be ditched into. He discussed having a smaller catch basin <br /> and that there is some engineering to that. <br /> Council Member Pederson discussed having the City Planner that is well versed <br /> on planning to look at this project as he may have some new insight. He also <br /> stated that the City would need engineering costs. <br /> Mr. Houle stated they wanted to have this discussion with Council before <br /> preparing a proposal to make sure the Council is aware of the issues and to <br /> prepare for long term when paving the road. <br /> Mr. Gorr asked for Council direction and clarification on how they would like City <br /> Staff to proceed. <br />
