This project would extend Helium St, from its current terminus in Pondvale Estates to Alpine Drive and also provide roadway connections with 152nd Lane and 152nd Ave. This extension will meet the needs for access to the proposed City soccer fields south of Alpine Drive. The benefited project area, as shown on Exhibits A, B & C, lies on the east side of Nowthen Blvd. and north of Pondvale Estates within Section 23~ Township 32 North, Range 25 West, City of Ramsey, Anoka County, MinneSota. It is proposed to finance the project by several methods. Since there are no existing streets in this project area, the street improvements are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting properties for 100% of the street improvements (excluding the storm drainage). Since there are no existing streets, the cost of the storm drainage can not be paid from the City's Storm Water Utility Fund. However, the City will be purchasing the property to the east of Helium Street lying between Pondva. le Estates and 152® Lane. A total of 6 future lots are proposed on this property in addition to 14 future lots lying north of 152nd Lane and adjacent to Helium Street. The sale of these 20 lots wi-Il be used to pay-for the storm drainage cost. The proposed two lots east of the proposed cul-de-sac will be used for negotiation of the right-of-way for 152nd Avenue extension. The cost of the water and sanitary sewer will be paid with hookup fees at the time of hookup. Twenty two (22) future lots are shown on the properties adjacent to the proposed roadways, in addition to two larger parcels to the west of Helium Street. There is also the potential for additional development to eventually participate in the project cost. This report will also discuss the shared benefit or relationshiP of these- improvements with. two adjacent project areas, which are the subject of separate feasibility reports. The commonality of the proposed improvements in all three project areas create the desire to schedule all three projects for construction at the same time period, possibly resulting in reduced construction cost.
