JEFF ESSEN 2648 CASCO POINT ROAD BERM IN RIGHT-OF-WAY City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the issue tabled at the Augu7t. 24, 1987 Council meeting pending a recommendation from the City Engineer regarding the safety of a double curb cut. He explained that in this particular case a review of the file indicated that the Public works Coordinator had reviewed and deleted the double curb cut with the plans giving no indication of an intended berm, however, the document with the deletion was not appropriately transmitted to the contractor which led Mr. Essen to believe that the double curb cut was approved. City Engineer Cook reviewed the plans and recommended approval of the double curb cut citing no safety concerns; and recommended that the berm be moved back to provide at least a 6 foot shoulder along Casco Point Road. Public works Coordinator Gerhardson stated that Mr. Essen cut back the brush which was a major obstruction and no longer felt there was a safety concern subject to moving the berm back as recommended.
