Dear Mr. Lewandowski:
On Thursday, August 4, 2005, I met with a representative from Kuechle Underground to discuss the
status of the public improvements and to determine whether the final lift of blacktop can be placed.
Specifically, Kuechle has requested authorization from the City to install the final lift of blacktop.
Before I can recommend installation of the bituminous wear course, I need to understand what Edina's
intention and schedule is for the bituminous trail along Swamp Lake. In our last discussion, it was my
understanding your engineer was looking into relocating the trail to the east side of Kassel A venue. If the
trail ends up next to the street (assuming the City Council approves the change and the affected property
owners accept it, as discussed previously), construction of the trail must be completed before the wear
course can be placed on the street.
Given the number of undeveloped lots remaining, there is a high likelihood the existing street surfaces
will be damaged by building construction activities. If the wear course is placed this season, I would want
to have money escrowed to cover the cost of seal coating the streets in the next 2 years.
Please call me at 651.490.2147 to advise me how Edina wants to proceed.
Sincerely,
fJtdL ~
