I I I I I INTRODUCTION A petition for the bituminous paving of Jackel Street from 153Td Avenue to 151St Lane was received and certified as having more than 35% of the benefited property owners signatures. This petition was certified to the City Council on December 14, 1999. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of paving this segment of street, which is currently dirt, with a bituminous surface. This study will describe the nature of the improvements and identify the costs and means of financing. The final section of this report describes the process the City will employ for this improvement project and a projected schedule for key project milestones. It should be noted that a similar petition and project has been received for the paving of Iguana Street, one block to the east. Iguana Street will be addressed as a separate but concurrent project. Should both projects be Ordered for implementation by the City Council, the projects will have combined plans and specifications and be bid as a single project to take advantage of the economies of scale. EXISTING CONDITIONS The present street consists of a native sand material and is roughly 24 feet in width. The roadway is located in the center of the right-of-way. Drainage along the street is from north to south along roadside ditches on both sides of the street. The majority of driveways have culverts; however, most of those culverts are in poor condition. The street drainage is transmitted to a low point near the intersection of 151st Lane and Iguana Street where water apparently remains until it percolates into the sandy soil. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The street will be regraded in its existing location and be provided with four inches of Class 5 and two inches of a bituminous wearing course material. A sketch of the improvement is included in the appendix and is labeled Minimum Paving Standards, At locations of existing drives the bituminous material will be extended one foot from the edge of the roadway to facilitate a future transition to the property owners with partially paved driveways. Where it will be necessary to remove existing driveway pavement to accommodate a smooth transition between the new paved roadway and existing driveway, the private driveway shall be neatly cut and replaced with material consistent with the removed driveway material. In such eases, the existing culvert will also be replaced if it is in poor condition. In addition to the street grading, the project shall include the regrading of the roadside ditch in spot locations where the present ditch is poorly defined and allows mn-off from the right-of-way onto private property. Following grading and paving, all disturbed areas will be restored with salvaged topsoil, if any is available. Property owners wishing to have additional topsoil placed within their frontage area of the project must make arrangements to provide this topsoil. All disturbed areas shall then be fertilized seeded, mulched and disc anchored.
