HEARING ARBOR LANE PROJECT (Continued Hearing)
The engineer outlined the proposed project. The possibility of Municipal Parking using
parking permits for residents was discussed. The attorney stated that parking could
be taken over by the city and leased back to the residents, such extension of the
project could include this parking and be instigated by the council and would require
another mailing and hearing.
Questions:
Henry Stasik - How many cars could be parked in this area?
Engineer - 6 to 8 cars
T. F. Jameson - Is it legal to have parking permits?
Attorney - If there is a municipal parking lot, yes.
Orval Fenstad - Would there be a time limit on parking?
Attorney - However the council set it up, but probably not as too hard to police.
Maude Seifert - Stated not to expect any cooperation from the fishermen who used
the parking area now.
Gordon Swenson - present parking should be used only for emergency vehicles,
ingress and egress, residents should park on their own property
rather than in the turn-around~ or the full value of police,
fire and such services could not be ~ealized.
T. F. Jameson - We would have to police our own parking?
Attorney - Yes, residents would call police if the parking area use is being
abused or misused.

HEARING BEACH~IOOD ROAI] (Continued)
The engineer outlined the proposed project and reviewed points brought out at the
first hearing. An additional petition was presented that stated thc signers would
support a road project that would be limited to $7.00 per foot. The engineer
pointed out that such an a§reement would be unworkable, as costs were based on work
done after bids were taken and the orginal costs were estimates and were so stated
to be estimated costs; too many factors had to be considered to base any contract
or project on such a flat sum.
Questions:
Morris Splettstaszer - Stated he only drew up and circulated the new petition
to illustrate, the opposition to the orginal petition
after the first hearing.
Rolland Flugum - stated he called on all the neighbors that would be affected
if the project was extended - no one would sign saying that
they had already paid for a road that was dug up at the time
sewer was installed and not replaced afterwards.
Vernon Luby - stated he was still in favor of the project
Earl Sather - stated he had a hard time retaining his sod and his driveway
was eroded by run-off water washing across them.
Bruce McIntyre - wants the street done now
