infrastructure will be utilized to. the extent feasible" and all streets will remain close to the existing grades (with adjustments to account for surface drainage) and alignment (to limit the impacts to adjacent properties). A 10' bituminous trail is proposed along the northerly right-of- way line, and storm sewer and ponding is proposed to accommodate surface drainage and treatment thro~gh the corridor. Proposed Municival Utilities An 8 inch PVC sanitary sewer is proposed to be extended within the project area from its existing location at the intersection of Limonite Street and 166th Avenue, and 4" service connections will be provided to each lot of record that cannot be subdivided in the future. Additional 8" stubs will be installed at intersection and adjacent to larger land tracts to provide an adequate connection for future extension and to provide the greatest flexibility of future sewer use. The water utility is proposed to be looped, as it is currently located along Nowthen Boulevard and at the intersection of Limonite Street and 166th Avenue. This includes an 8" ductile iron pipe (DIP), connecting the existing trunk lines located on either end of the proposed improvement area, and 1" service connections provided at each lot of record that cannot be subdivided in the future. Additional 8" stubs will be installed at intersections and adjacent to larger land tracts to provide an adequate connection for future extension. These water utility improvements would enhance the fire fighting abilities and improve system reliability for the households in the area. In addition, installation of municipal utilities as part of this project would reduce future impacts and expenditures in the neighbQrhood, as well as pr6vidingsystem flexibility and another alternative should individual water and/or sewer systems fail. It should be noted that some property owners have requested individual services to their parcels as part of this project and staff has evaluated each request & included them in the design as proposed. If the Council should choose to eliminate them for cost considerations it . should be stated, but staff is comfortable including them in the project as those costs would be recouped through future connections, and it would serve to protect the integrity of the roadway from future cuts and patches. Funding: The ,majority of the roadway project including design, acquisition, street and trail construction, and storm sewer installation will be funded with MSA dollars. The wetland impacts/mitigation will be handled with State banking credits. It is estimated that total MSA expenditures for this project are $760,000 + $183,800 for acquisition & esmts. The sanitary sewer and watermain portions ofthis project are proposed to be funded through their corresponding Utility Funds. It is estimated that $200,000 would be financed through the Water Utility Fund, and $220,000 through the Sewer Utility Fund. The only portions of the project that may be funded through the City's Street Improvement Fund would include the minor revision to create a cul-de-sac at the north end of Jaspar Street, and potentially the turn lane construction on CSAH 5 (which staff believes should be State Aid eligible); these improvements are estimated to be approximately $25,000. Staff Recommendation: Staff reco~ends accepting the plans and specification for City project #08-27, 167th Avenue realigIlITl,ent, and authorizing it for bid. It is further recommended to adopt resolution #09-04- XXX related to the 25 mile per hour design variance, resolution #09-04-XXX related to the -196-
