I# <br />■r <br />r Y I <br />resident requests for pubiic maintenance of this street though it has always been on City Right of <br />Way. <br />The Council recently decided to provide public maintenance of Casco Cove Road located adjacent <br />to Casco Avenue. This is a dead end street located on public right of way and has sanitary sewer <br />located in the street and a lift station at the end of the street. <br />All of the other streets within the North Long Lake sewer project area, Long Lake Boulev^d, <br />Country Club Drive, and Lakeview Terrace are located on public right of way and are publicly <br />maintained. In the future MUSA expansion sewer projects, all of the streets are on public right <br />of way and publicly maintained, except Edgewood Hills Road. This road is located off Wcodhill <br />Road, a private road. Edgewood Hills Road is privately owned and maintained with underlymg <br />City easements for utility and sewer purposes. <br />If the City decides to assume maintenance responsibilities for Dakota Avenue, routine maintenance <br />will not create an excessive burden on the City public works maintenance staff. The plowing of <br />this short dead end street will take a minimum amount of time, as the City trucks are already <br />plowing Long Lake Boulevard. Mowing along this street is minimal as the property owners <br />maintain their yards up to the edge of the street. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Consideration of residents request for public maintenance of Dakota Avenue. My recommendation <br />is that Dakota Avenue be publicly maintained based on the following criteria. <br />1.) Dakota Avenue has been platted as public right of way since the 1940's <br />2.) Dakota Avenue is adjacent to Long Lake Boulevard, a public street that is currently being <br />maintained by the city. The other streets within the North Long Lake sewer project area. Long <br />Lake Boulevard, Country Club Drive, and Lakeview Terrace are all on public right of way and <br />are publicly maintained. <br />3.) Dakota Avenue has sanitary sewer located in the street which requires City use of the street <br />for sewer maintenance purposes <br />r
