To: Mark Bexnhardson, City Administrator From: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator AL 1�! lain Date: June 30, 1986 Subject: Driveway Apron Repair - 605 Stubbs Bay Road 41 On May 27, 1986, the Cit• of Orono received a written request from Mr. Stephen Krogness, 605 North cubbs Bay Road requesting the City to repair the driveway apron to his residence. Mr. Krogness' driveway is very wide as it intersects at Stubbs Bay Road in excess of 100 feet. With the balance of his driveway being 13 feet wide. This wide approach was constructed several years ago by the previous owner. I have talked with Mr. Krogness several times about the repair of the driveway apron and have advised him that the City does not maintain driveway approaches. I r10 agree that the very wide approach does encourage public use as a turn a ur ,. Because Mr. Krogness complained about the City vehicles using h-s drive approach as a turn around, I instructed City personnel quite some tim, &.;o riot to turn around in his driveway. Mr. Krogness does not agree with my decision, there -'-ore, he is requesting Council action on this matter. The area that needs repair is approximately 25x50 feet. I have estimated the cost of repair for material and labor at $1055. This cost does riot include equipment. The opticns of Council are as follows: 1. Repair the drive approach as requested by Mr. Krogness. J55.00 2. Remove the bituminous from the street to the right-of-way rc:;tore the drive approach and right-of-way back to gravel. $371.97 3. Remove th^ bitumino, from the street to the right-of-way, replace only the bi uminous needed for an average width driveway approach (20') and restore balance of right-of-way to gravel or black dirt and seed. $1,036.42 4. Advisr Mr. Krogness that the City does not have any responsibility for maint, ince or repair of drive approaches. It is my recommendation the do not repair the drive approach as I do not feel that City vehicles caused the damage plus the fact that the balance of Mr. Krogness' driveway shows signs of severe deterioration.
