SCHULDT SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4-0.
Councilmember Duitsman requested that the City Council consider the possibility
of deferring the storm sewer inprovement project until the Minnesota Department
of Transportation constructs the proposed improvements of Highway 10.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that should the City of Elk River coordinate the storm sewer
project with the Highway 10 improvement project it would be the city's responsi-
bility to control the traffic on Highway 10 and further indicated that that may
be a very costly alternative to jacking under Highway 10 for the storm sewer project.
52. Hearing Date for Street Vacation
Mayor Hinkle indicated that Mr. Wally Ohland has requested a street vacation for
the street that was used as his access to the old railroad crossing in the Peterson
addition. Mayor Hinkle indicated that Mr. Wally Ohland has indicated that there
is a 166 foot easement for that street.
The City Administrator indicated that the City Council must hold a public hearing
for the street vacation. The City Administrator further indicated that the city
does not at this time have a filing fee for consideration of street vacations,
and further suggested that the City Council adopt a fee.
Councilmember Duitsman questioned that possibility of the City ordering a street
vacation. The City Administrator indicated that if the City would order a street
vacation there would not be a fee, but that if an individual requested a street
vacation the fee schedule would apply.
Councilmember Gunkel indicated that if the street vacation request by Mr. Ohland
has previously been received by the City Council, the City Council should not adopt
a fee schedule to include this specific request.
%,54 S Councilmember Duitsman indicated that he felt the City Council should adopt a fee
schedule for consideration of street vacations, and further indicated that he felt
the schedule should not apply to the Ohlands request.
