CASE # CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR IMP~tOVEMENT PROJECT g94-12 (BITUMINOUS OVERLAY SPORTS HAVEN/CAROL ROSE ADDITIONS) By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer Background: As you will r~call, this public hearing was initiated at the Council meeting held on March 22, 1994. A~that meeting, approximately 20 people were in attendance from the Sports Haven/CaroliRo. se Additions. These residents expressed concern over the type of improvement!being proposed for their subdivision, namely the bituminous overlay, and suggested th~a~ a sealcoat would be adequate. Because of the large number of residents in attendance, tl~ Council asked that the City Engineer meet with the citizens to discuss their concerns. On Tuesday, March 29, 1994, the City Engineer, Mayor Gilbertson, and Councilmember Zimmerman rhet with approximately 15 to 20 residents within the subdivision. The City Engineer reviewed with the residents a manual which provided guidance on rating pavements an4 prescribing alternative maintenance treatments. The group then walked the length of the s~reets in the proposed project area to view the condition of the pavements. A summary of ~e survey is as follows. The segment of 166th Avenue,,N:W. from Yolite Street N.W. ta Variolite Street N.W. would have a pavement rating of 5' which could be addressed wi~a sealcoating improvement. The segment of Yolite Street N.W. from 166th Avenue N.W. ~o 163rd Avenue N.W. alternated with stretches having pavement ratings of "4" and "5". ~ pavement rating of "4" has a recommended maintenance of an overlay. The cul-de-sac~ on 144th Avenue N.W. would have a pavement rating of "5" on the bulb of the cul-de-sac!and a rating of "4" down the neck. The pavement ratings for significant stretches of lff3rd Lane N.W. and 164th Lane N.W. have pavement ratings of "3" which still can be addressed with bituminous overlay. The cul-de-sac on 165th Lane N.W., while not visually in~pected on the tour, would have a pavement rating which would fall within the sealcoatingirange. After touring ~e streets, the group discussed various alternative actions with regard to the · proposed imp~vement project. There was a consensus among the group that if the project were delayed t'pr one year, they would accept the proposed bituminous overlay. A one- year delay wou!d allow the residents to plan and budget for the expense. Inasmuch as m~y of the roads involved in these subdivisions are on a borderline between being sealable ~md overlayed, the one-year delay should not present a problem to those marginal paverhents. The sections of 163rd Lane N.W. and 164th Lane N.W., which are extensively all~gatored, still remain substantially intact. Residents reported that the alligatoring has,existed for a considerable amount of time and, therefore, it is reasonable to expect that rapi~l deterioration to a point where these roads could not be overlayed is not likely within a l~2-month period. Recommendation: - In accordance ~ith the consensus reached with the citizens,-it is my recommendation that Improvement _P~_ oject g94-12 be removed from the 1994 Street Maintenance Program and be placed on the~ 1995 program. It is also the understanding that this delay would not affect the City's 50 percent funding under the 1995 program. b7
