John Novotny -175 Northview Drive -stated that the street improvements will disturb the
improvements he has completed to his property and would like to know if there had to be 8ft
between the curb and the sidewalk.
Forest,V &K,stated that at the time the project is being completed the city will be working with
the property owners to adjust the sidewalks as needed.
Cherry Street -Kurt stated that the sidewalks along Cherry Street would have a great affect on
the property owners and it may serve any purpose to include sidewalks on the south side of
Cherry Street.
John Grisso -605 Cherry Street -required if future Councils would decide not to assess future
projects would the residents with assessment continue to pay their assessments or not.
Chet Chedester -220 Waukee Ave -he is not in favor of the assessment and feels the projects
should be paid for using GO Bonds.The sidewalk on the south side of Cherry Street would lead
right to the school and that was the reasoning for put sidewalks in.He is not happy with the way
the Council is handling these projects and does not feel they are treating all residents fairly.

/"
Becky Inman -310 Waukee Avenue -at the last street meeting there was a motion made that the )
project owners would be assessed for the street with the largest frontage and she would like this I
in writing so if a new council is elected they can not go back on this motion.
Tim Wilson,125 Northview Drive -would like to be able to have his drivway widened.
Councilman Strain stated they will direct the engineers to work with the residents as much as
possible.
Mr.Wilson also asked the Council what will happen to the garbage pickup when the street is
under construction.
Melissa Bell-880 3rd Street -they are in the process of replacing their driveway and would like
to know how far back the city will be going in the driveway when their project is being done so
the work is not being done twice.If they are paying assessment to do the street improvements
and why have there not been a truck route in place to prevent the truck from breaking down the
streets.
The Mayor asked for the staff to come up with a solution to the truck traffic problem and bring it
back to the Council to approve.
Councihnan Strain would like to have the streets posted for NO TRUCK TRAFFIC and enforced
if the trucks continue to use the wrong route.

Ron Mar -3rd Street -stated there have been complaints that cement trucks wash their trucks
into the storm sewer and if they are doing this they are not going to be inconvenienced with
going out of their way to use a truck route.Also some property owners have a certain grade to
their driveway for drainage and how will this be handled when the projects are done.
Mike Pagel -3rd Street -stated concern for his trees.Kurt stated they would try to avoid trees
whenever possible.
Bob Barrell-Northview -where is there an ordinance that states the City can force the residents
to put in sidewalk improvements against their will.He called City Hall and was told this matter
was being researched.
Dick Applegate -N orthview Drive -he is replacing his driveway with asphalt and so the City
will be cutting the asphalt and putting cement sidewalk thru his asphalt driveway.John Kursitis,
V &K,stated they will put in a cement sidewalk and replace the driveway between the sidewalk
and street with concrete.

Tim Wilson -Northview Drive -would like to know how high the trees will have to be trimmed
along the sidewalks.
Tom Inman -310 Waukee Avenue -the property at his rear lot line has the sidewalk set and this
will not meet up with where the location of the sidewalk located on his property.This situation
has been handled and discussed prior to this meeting.
Councilman Strain would like the citizens to put their concerns in writing so the engineers can
handle these concerns individually and let the property owners know what the answers to their
concerns are.
Chet Chedester -220 Waukee Avenue -Was told the contractor will be restricted to the city
easement and they would go beyond that point the contractor is then liable for any damage done
