PH-2Public Hearing for Proposed 2020 Road Improvement to 189th Lane, 190th Lane & Dolomite Street
Preliminary estimate $353,800; engineer presented scope and per-unit assessment estimate ($6,100/unit; 29 direct benefiting properties) and timeline; residents raised concerns about whether roads need repair, culverts, drainage, buildable lots, and possible gravel conversion for Dolomite; hearing opened 6:58 pm and closed 7:45 pm.
The Council held an improvement hearing on a proposed 2020 road project for 189th Lane, 190th Lane, and Dolomite Street (preliminary estimate $353,800). The engineer presented the city’s road system context and described a project just under one mile, originally paved in 1993, with an estimated per-unit assessment of $6,100 for 29 directly benefitting properties if assessments proceed, with the first payment payable in 2021. Residents raised concerns about whether the roads truly need repair, whether Dolomite could be converted back to gravel, drainage and culvert issues (including water and heaving near the Dolomite/190th area), whether vacant/buildable lots would be assessed, and whether business-related traffic should be treated differently; the city described the per-parcel approach and the two-hearing process before awarding a contract. The hearing closed with no action taken at this meeting.

PH-3Public Hearing for Proposed 2020 Road Improvement to Ebony Street and Garnet Street (Willow Creek)
Preliminary estimate $296,000; engineer described reclaim/new bituminous plan and noted soil borings may change scope; residents discussed prior assessments, prior city-funded repairs, drainage/wetland subgrade concerns, and whether the plan would be a long-term fix; hearing opened 7:47 pm and closed 8:40 pm.
The Council held an improvement hearing on a proposed 2020 project for Ebony Street and Garnet Street (Willow Creek), estimated at $296,000 with 20 benefitting properties and an estimate of $7,400 per property if assessed. Residents and officials discussed the road’s challenging history and wetland/subgrade issues, including prior assessments in 1993 ($4,500/property) and 2003 ($975) and city-funded repairs said to total $150,000 in 2010, 2015, and 2016, and questioned whether the current reclaim/overlay approach would be a long-term fix or whether more extensive reconstruction and drainage work would be needed. Staff emphasized this was the first of two hearings, that soil borings could change scope, and that the city could still stop the project before awarding a contract; the hearing closed without a decision at this meeting.
