Mrs. Martin requested Council be polled:
Fenstad - Not like trees taken; against project as it is now; ask Attorney if
hearing could be held over to get more information from Engineers on
alignment, etc.
Philbrook - concerned about width of street and its being used for raceway;
questioned minimum amount needed for righ~-of-way. Feels 32 foot
wide road more feasible.
Lovaasen - if feasible, 32 foot road gives'more room to move within the 60 foot
right-of-way.
Swenson - in favor of accepting a 32 foot wide road; but road should be upgraded;
posting lower speed limits is not permitted by State law. Need to
straighten out road.
Ulrick- Council's responsibility to provide good access roads; must recognize
need, listen to citizens' concerns and make decision based on what is
best for community in years to come. Need street improvement; but 4
feet is a reasonable consideration; also alignment needs some study.
