Meeting Date: 09/27/2016 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #16-09-175 Ordering Preparation of Assessment Roll and Calling for Assessment Hearing for Andrie Street and 164th Lane Reconstruction; Improvement Project 16-00 Division C Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #16-09-175 ordering the preparation of an assessment roll and calling for an Assessment Hearing for Andrie Street and 164th Lane Reconstruction; Improvement Project 16-00 Division C on October 25th, 2016. Background: City of Ramsey Improvement Project #16-00 Division C includes the reconstruction of approximately 9,963 linear feet (1.89 miles) of public streets in the Northfork development including Andrie Street from Alpine Drive to 164th Lane (approx. 6,312 feet), and 164th Lane from Andrie Street to Jarvis Street (approx. 3,651 feet). Attached is the title sheet of the plans which shows the scope and location of the improvements. Existing Conditions Andrie Street and 164th Lane were constructed in 1985 using bituminous pavement and bituminous curbs at a width of 31 feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. Both streets were constructed using minimal grades and an insufficient number of catch basins to effectively drain stormwater runoff from the streets, which have accelerated the deterioration of the pavement sections. In the fall of 2015, the pavement sections of the above -referenced street segments had PASER ratings of 2 meaning they are past the point of overlaying and instead require complete reconstruction. Proposed Improvements The proposed design provides for reconstructing both streets to a width of 33 feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb (2 feet wider than the existing street) using B618 concrete curb and gutter, a bituminous pavement section of 3'/2" bituminous pavement over 6" of modified class 5 aggregate base, an improved storm sewer system, and a designated on -street parking lane along one side of the streets (north and east sides), including signing and striping to designate the on -street parking lane. No centerline or edge striping is proposed but NO PARKING signs are proposed along the side of the streets without designated on -street parking (south and west sides). This design provides a compromise allowing the City to meet Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) State Aid standards, while also addressing comments received from the Northfork property owners regarding keeping street widths as narrow as practical to minimize traffic speeds and the loss of mature boulevard trees. Public utilities do not exist within these street corridors and the City has no plans to serve this area with public utilities so sanitary sewer and watermain improvements were not included with this project.
