3. Century Avenue Improvements, City Project 03-15.
a. Public Hearing 7:15 p.m.
b. Resolution Ordering Improvements After Public Hearing
a. Public Works Director, Chuck Ahl, presented the report.
Mayor Longrie opened the public hearing and the following individuals spoke.
Richard Hoyer, 21 Century Avenue South, Maplewood, owner of the Guertins Drug Store,
addressed the council. He said this is a financial hardship on the drug store if the center median
is put in and the doctor's office may end up closing because of the access situation. The big
concern is that they are requesting a one way in and out. This costs a lot of money and he
doesn't feel it warrants a center median until 2010. Especially because that was stated at the
original public hearing. He said there are over 5 businesses where they are proposing the turn
lane.
Dr. John Dickhudt, Minnhealth Afton Clinic, Maplewood, addressed the council. He said they
have been in business for 40 years and they take good care of people. There is a meeting the
morning of June 28, 2007, at their office for the business owners regarding the safety issues. He
thinks from a fire safety issue it is nice to have two accesses.
Felipe and Ana Granda, 111 Century Avenue South, Maplewood, addressed the council. Ms.
Granada asked why it was important to have a double lane on Century Avenue? Once the
sidewalk is constructed in front of her house it will be difficult for them to turn because of the long
driveway and will require them to turn into traffic in order for them to back out. With no median for
them to go out they would have to drive to Lower Afton Road and come back go to Upper Afton
Road depending on which highway they come from. She asked who to contact to get access to
the sewer and water on their property. She asked if a company comes onto your property do they
have the right to damage your property?
Karen Johnson, 105 Century Avenue South, Maplewood. She said the Granda's and her house
are the only two residential properties in the area and having this center median would cause a
access hardship for their properties.
June 25, 2007, City Council Meeting 6
Bob Traun 413 Highpoint Curve, Maplewood. He said he is a member of the Lutheran Church of
Peace and they are troubled by the city assessment because they are going to lose their trees,
their sign and one of their two driveways. They are being assessed by the city but the church
property is not being improved.
Mayor Longrie closed the public hearing.
Mayor Longrie said before she would vote for the resolution ordering these improvements to
Century Avenue she would like to see a clause inserted stating the council would like the plan for
median to be researched further and brought back to the council for consideration.
Councilmember Cave moved to approve the Resolution Ordering Improvements to Century
Avenue, City Project 03-15 with the staff changes to the resolution.
Mr. Ahl said staff would make the corrections to the resolution and those changes would be
brought back to the council in the minutes to approve. Staff will also make the correction in the
recommendation to change the assessment hearing to be conducted in 2008 (not 2007) as stated
in the staff report.
Councilmember Cave approved that amendment

Approving No Parking on Desoto Street from Larpenteur Avenue to Roselawn
Avenue.
a. Public Works Director, Chuck Ahl, presented the report.
Mayor Longrie asked if anyone in the audience wanted to speak regarding this item.
Connie Piche, 1784 Desoto Street, Maplewood, addressed the council. She said she serves on a
task force in the neighborhood and she went around with a petition. The people with big yards
and long driveways don't care about the parking on the street. There is a group of people that
have no driveway and no parking and can barely drive their own cars down their driveways.
Those people with the big yards don't want to accommodate others with parking bays. They want
to keep the street width at 26-feet wide to keep the speeds down. They don't want overnight
parking, they just want to have a place for company to park. They weren't notified of the "no
parking" rule at the original meeting; they might have gone with a wider street if they could've
accommodated parking. She is fine with no parking on "one" side of the street. Cars park on the
west side of the road now.
Councilmember Rossbach moved to approve the Desoto Skillman Area Street Improvements,
City Project 06-16, Resolutions Approving No Parking on the East Side of Desoto Street from
