per lot cost will ~nge from $112 to $207 per lot. The 1993 program will be the first time since 1990 that ad}t~Ci_t~ streets have been earmarked for overlays. One project scheduled for overlay consists of ~' B~ookview Estates/White Pines subdivisions which was previously considered under the 1~2 p~gram for sealcoating but was re-evaluated for an overlay due to the advanced state of dete~br~t~ pavement. The cost for this 1.5 inch overlay is anticipated to be approximately $643 per lO~, .iTh~s compares to per lot assessments in 1990 for the Autumn Heights, Woodland Green and Hills Dover subdivisions of $515, $563 and $486, respectively. The overlay project for 161st A~o~u6N.W. presents an unusual situation in terms of assessment. Under the current assessment ~lic~, the project cost is divided half between the City and the benefitting property owners. In ~l~e c~tse of 161st Avenue N.W., nine residential lots on the south side of the street would be b~ ~efi.~ted by the improvements but Central Park and Federal Cartridge property comprise th~ ~nt'~ land use on the north half of the street. If the current policy were applied to this project, eacli of the ten assessable lots would have a share of $1,246. Both Staff and Committee members fe[t~tha.~.this would be inequitable to those property owners, particularly in light of the fact that a ¢~nsi~erable amount of traffic on this street is generated by Central Park. After considering ~ev~raI alternative methods of financing, the Committee directed City Engineer Jankowski ~.detCrmine the assessment by apportioning the normal property owner share on a per foot basis a~ng all of the benefitted property owners including the City and Federal Cartridge. This method ~ill~be deemed to be acceptable if it results in a per unit lot assessment reasonable in line with th~ a, ss~sments anticipated for the Brookview Estates/White Pines subdivisions. Mr. Jankows!~i al~o pointed out another unique situation which will occur in the Pine View Estates and Pine View E~tates 2nd Addition. It was noted that the area south of 149th Avenue N.W. in Pine View EstatOs 2nd Addition is zoned for residential and industrial uses. At the present time, there is on~¥~on~ occupant in this subdivision which has taken advantage of the combination residential-~tusfi'ial zoning. This is a cabinet maker who requires delivery of lumber on a regular basis to his busil~ess. Unfortunately, 149th Avenue N.W. is designed only as a standard seven ton street arid is Posted for approximately two months every spring when weight limitations are normally in~l~ose~. Last year, this caused hardship to the cabinet maker in that he could not get the delivery or, lumber to his shop for that period. Mr. Jankowski had proposed the concept of increasing thg st~ cture of the road to nine ton standards by the addition of an overlay. After some discussion,Lthe .~ommittee decided that this single user be contacted and advised to stockpile lumber ma[e~al~.ahead of the weight limitations and perhaps allow him a one time permit during the limitatiOr~!s f~ the delivery of lumber through this posted period. A schedule for implementing the 1993 street program was reviewed. A feasibility report would be submitted to ~the City Council at the first meeting in January and at that time a date would be set for a public hc~ring. A public hearing would be held on February 9, 1993 and following the mandatory '~s~xty~:(60) day comment period, plans and specifications could then be authorized on April 13, 1993. Receipt of contract bids and award of contract could be anticipated for the second meeting in May~ construction on the crack filling and overlay projects would be initiated in June and sealcoatfng Would be performed in July. Assessment hearings would be held in August 1993.
