Preliminary special assessments are proposed in the Feasibility Report in the amount of $4,500 per lot. This totals $45,000 for the 10 single-family residential properties having direct access to the shared segment of Jarvis Street. This amount is $2,000 per lot less than the assessments proposed for the Garnet Street and 168th Avenue Reconstruction project given that only half of Jarvis Street is in the City of Ramsey, and since no utilities are proposed with this project. Recommendation: Due to the existing poor pavement condition of Jarvis Street, the mutual benefits offered by this project, and the City of Elk River's offer to pay all project costs up -front and to allow the City of Ramsey to re -pay our share of the costs interest-free over a 3 -year term from 2016 to 2018, staff recommends approving Alternative Action #1, or Alternative Action #2 if Council wishes staff to make minor modifications to the project. Staff also recommends ordering an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure that special assessments do not exceed the benefit received as a result of the improvements. Action: Approve or deny adoption of Resolution #15-02-035 accepting the Feasibility Report and ordering a Public Hearing for the Jarvis Street Reconstruction and Railroad Crossing Quiet Zone Improvements; City Improvement Project #15-20. If Resolution #15-02-035 is adopted, the City Council is also asked to authorize an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure that all special assessments are commensurate with benefit received from the proposed improvements.
