He stated that Holy Mame Lake does not have barriers and putting in a berm may cause drainage problems for the road.

He stated that Twin City Testing reported that the road is structurally sound and that a 1 inch overlay would smooth some area. Be stated that sealooating is normally done 7-10 years after a road is built, if traffic is light and 4 - 5 years if traffic is heavy. He ex- plained that curbs are correct according to the cities road specifications and that a warranty is not required if a road is built stronger than a 5 ton road. Paul Pearson stated that he had originally recommended a 1 inch overlay and because he had not been involved with reoent developers he did not know what was being required. Thomas Anderson asked about moisture problems in the road bed. Mr. Pearson stated that drain tile had been repaired and curbs baokfilled. Wilfred Soherer explained that he recommendations were made due to the fact that a portion of the road had broken up and no one knows what construction vehicles will do to the road. Richard Schleifer stated that if the developer is convinced that what has been done will be adequate then the posting of a bond would be small insurance.

He stated that he personally was in favor of the proposed extension of Co. Rd. 116 but that Dr. Dedeker was opposed unless the road were located farther east on the WCCO property. Thomas Anderson stated that those living north of Co. Rd. 24 favor a road while those south are opposed. He stated that the city could approve alignment from Co. Rd. 116 to Co. Rd. 24 and reserve space across Co. Rd. 24 to a point where it would meet Willow Dr. Thomas Crosby stated that he was opposed to the road as it would be bringing a lot more traffic through Medina.

Rd. 6, Co. Rd. 116 and Hwy. 12. Thomas Anderson stated that the city could possibly give the county two alternatives; Tamarack Dr. and the plan being discussed. Dr. Olson stated that this would be the only way that Medina Rd. would ever be upgraded. Art Peabody stated that Tamarack Dr. would not be a good choice because the direct route would end at Co. Rd. 6 and could not connect to Hwy. 12 because of Long Lake. Thomas Anderson stated that unless Tom Crosby thinks he could find out something about a route using Tamarack Dr., before the September 21st meeting, he would want to approve the planned route.

Thomas Anderson stated that the city has been taking care of problem areas, when they are discovered, and that he would have difficulty adopting such a requirement. Wilfred Scherer stated that he would have a hard time convincing many people that this would be a good policy.
