Another option would be to consider the apron cost to be a part of the street paving project cost. <br />It is estimated that depending on the width of the drive apron installation, costs would range <br />between $600 and $1000 per drive apron. Since project costs are divided equally between the <br />property. owners and the City would absorb 50% of this cost. This option might be considered if <br />the City views drive aprons as integral to a paved street. The City might consider reducing its <br />percent contribution to offset or reduce their project cost contribution. <br />Attachments: <br />• Minutes of November 20, 2007 Public Works Committee meeting. <br />• Examples A and B <br />Financial Impacts: <br />There would be no financial impact to the City on the current projects for which feasibility <br />studies have been prepared since the driveway paving was not included as a project cost but <br />rather as an additional cost to be paid by the property owner. Continuing the current policy or <br />allowing the cost to be collected as an assessment would have no financial impact to the City. <br />Changing the policy to consider it to a project cost would cost the City between $300 and $500 <br />per driveway on these types of projects. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that letters be sent to affected properties on IP 08-33 and IP 08-34 advising <br />them of the reduced minimum apron length and that the cost of installing an apron where there is <br />no existing pavement will be added to the assessment rather than being directly billed upon <br />installation. Staff further recommends that this policy be adopted for all future dirt street paving <br />projects. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that letters be sent to affected properties on IP 08-33 and <br />IP 08-34 advising them of the reduced apron length, and that the cost of installing an apron <br />where there is no existing pavement will be added to the assessment rather than being directly <br />billed upon installation. Additional motion to recommend that this policy be modified for all <br />future dirt street paving projects. <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />Finance Director <br />City Engineer <br />Public Works Street Supervisor <br />
