Public Hearing Notices were published in the Anoka Union Herald on January 27th and February 3rd, 2017, were mailed to all property owners proposed to be assessed for a portion of the improvements, and was posted in City Hall as required by State Statute. Postponing the public hearing does not require additional publications. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: This project would best be constructed as a stand-alone project and is necessary, feasible, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint, and can be constructed as proposed in the Feasibility Report. The proposed pavement design is anticipated to provide a life of at least 30 years, assuming proactive, regular pavement maintenance treatments are performed throughout the life of the pavement. While a 60-year design life is typically targeted for reconstructed streets, this project is not proposing a full reconstruction due to the good condition of the majority of existing 20 year old curb and gutter. At the time the existing curb and gutter that is left in place needs to be reconstructed, which will likely occur 30 years or more in the future, Staff will evaluate whether it would be cost-effective to reconstruct the pavement section again. The preliminary Assessment Map and Roll included in Appendix C of the Feasibility Report were preliminarily approved by Council on January 24th. On February 14th Council approved revising the Feasibility Report to incorporate a revised assessment map and assessment roll. Staff is currently revising the Feasibility Report to fully address the attached revised assessment map and roll. The revised report will be attached to the Council case for the Public Hearing on March 14, 2017. Alternatives: Alternative # 1 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution # 17-02-044 at this time and to postpone the public hearing for Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction, until March 14, 2017. Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #17-02-044 at this time. Funding Source: City staff prepared the Feasibility Report in-house as part of staff's normal duties. The engineer's opinion of probable costs for the proposed improvements on Sunwood Drive as outlined in the Feasibility Report is $607,000. Assessable industrial parcels are preliminarily proposed to be assessed for up to 25 percent of eligible project costs totaling $151,750. The City will pay the remaining 75% of project costs including $447,950 from the 5 year Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program bond funds, and $7,300 from stormwater utility funds. NTI completed a Geotechnical Exploration and Engineering Review at a cost of $4,400 which is included in Appendix D of the Feasibility Report. WSB and Associates, Inc. completed Pavement Evaluations and Recommendations at a not -to -exceed cost of $2,687.50 which is also included in Appendix D. Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative # 1. Staff does not support Alternative #2. Action: Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #17-02-044 at this time and to postpone the public hearing for Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction, until March 14, 2017.
