CASE # <br /> <br />REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS <br />By: Public Works Staff <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, July 20, 2004 and discussed the following five <br />cases: <br /> <br />Case #1 <br /> <br />Request for Street Maintenance on 163rtl Lane, Urauimite Street, <br />164th Lane, Sapphire Street, and 164th Avenue <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained the streets on the road segment which includes 163rd Lane, <br />Uranimite Street, 164th Lane, Sapphire Street; and ! 64th Avenue c~urrently have a dirt surface and <br />a total length of just over one half mile. There has been a request by one resident on Uranimite '~' <br />Street to have the alignment of the roadway returned to the center of the right of wayl Dirt <br />streets tend to migrate over time as a result of plowing, grading and traffic patterns. A proposal <br />for the cost of survey work and staking necessary to relocate the street to the center of its r/ght of <br />way has been obtained from Hakanson Anderson Assoc. h~c. This cost is estimated to be <br />$3,800.00. Mr. and Mrs. Shumway, the property owners requesting this consideration, have <br />been advised of this topic being discussed on this agenda. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson stated a feasibility study was done to find all the dirt <br />roads in the City, with a discussion of assessing 50 percent rather than the 100 percent <br />assessment. The funds were not available due to budget cuts. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained there are approximately ten of these projects in the City. The <br />total cost to complete them all would be approximately $350,000 to $400,000. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson advised one project per year could be completed if the <br />funds were put back into the program, however, approval would still be needed for the 50 <br />percent assessment. The City cost for this as a joint effort with the neighborhood would be <br />approximately $30,000. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski indicated the last time a survey was done was back in the mid 1990's, <br />and the results were close to 50/50. There has not been a request to look at this particular street <br />since. <br /> <br />Motion to reconnnend the City Council ratify a 50/50 split of the cost of paving the current dirt <br />surface of the road segments of 167 Lane, Urani.mite Street, 164th Lane, Sapphire Street, and <br />164th Avenue, with staff to prepare a survey and host a neighborhood meeting after Council <br />ratification. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee <br /> <br />-259- <br /> <br /> <br />
