Continuation of Oct. 15, 1979 meeting minutes.
Paul Meyer and Ken Ashfelt of Meyer-Rohlin appeared before the
Board to discuss the bituminous projects in Great River Acres, Vasseru's
1st and 2nd Additions, and Mississippi Shores 1st and 2nd Additions and
see what plan the Board preferred.
Plan one would be to widen the existing roads to a 26 ft. top by
hauling in material to build up the shoulders and lay a 20 ft. wide mat
2 inches thick with 3 ft. shoulders and grovel base or all bituminous base
of 4 to 6 inches with a 2 inch wearing coarse, ending up with a road
about 1 ft. higher than present.
Plan two would be to cut down the existing road and use that material
to build up the shoulders to make 26 ft. road with a 20 ft. wide mat and
3 ft. shoulders and then use either a gravel base or all bituminous base
4 to 6 inches thick with a 2 inch wearing coarse.
The third plan would be not to widen the existing road, use an 18 ft.
wide mat and no shoulders.
All plans would be a 7 ton design. Plan one would cost approxi-
mately $3,200.00 per lot, plan two $2,700.00 per lot, and plan three
$1,600.00 per lot.
The Board elimated plan 3 as being a road that would not last and
indicated a preference for plan 2 as being less expensive that plan one
and also the road would be the same height as the existing roads. The
Board also thought they would request bids either way as far as using
gravel base or bituminous base.
Motion by William Schulz to have Meyer-Rohlin proceed with a feasi-
bility study on the 3 projects and have Bill Radzwill arrange for a
public hearing on the three projects. Seconded by Lloyd Beaudry, passed
unanimously.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
