I il I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CASE # CONSIDEtt AUTHORIZATION OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT g95-14 SANITARY SEWER, WATERMAIN, STORM SEWER AND STREET II~{PROVEMENTS TO SERVICE THE HAUBRICH ADDITION By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Notification:', The benefitted ,~ix properties of the Haubrich Addition who will be assessed if this project is authorized Mve been notified of this case being on this evening's agenda. Background: On April 25, 1995, a petition was presented to the Council by two of the five property owners, representing three of the six properties in the Haubrich Addition, for the installation of City sewer and water and subsequent urban standard street restorations. On July 11, 1995, ia public hearing was held subsequent to the preparation of a feasibility study outlining ithe improvements, their costs and financing. As required by ~Ramsey City Charter, Section 8.4, the City has waited the required 60 days from the publia hearing date. During this time, the City has received a petition, signed by owners of 50 p~rcent of the property, in opposition to the proposed project. The City. has also received a~.other petition signed by owners of 50 percent of the property in favor of the project. All th{ petitions have been attached to this case. In accordance with Section 8.4 of Ramsey City C~arter, the City may proceed with the project. Should the Cou~gcil decide to authorize this project, staff would recommend that the project be designed an~ constructed through a change order to Barborossa, Inc. This contractor has already be.~n retained to place the watermain improvements down 151st Avenue in conjunction w!th Project #95-13. The unit prices used would be those previously competitively bid on Projects #95-13 and g95-17. This would have the advantage of subjecting the rteighborhood to construction activities only once and minimizing the areas of construction {disturbance. Recommendation: Staff recommeods adoption of the resolution ordering Project g95-14 since it is consistent with the long-tgrm planning for the area and is supported by 50 percent of the benefitted properties. Council ActiOn: Motion to adopt Resolution gO5-0~- ordering Improvement Project 6t95-14. Reviewed by: City Engineer CC: 09/26/95 Copies also distributed to: /]mt
