City Engineer Raatikka said this project covers paving of streets in Hall/ Anderson Acres including the service road. The proposed section is a rural street section. The street section proposed consists of a 3" gravel base with a 1~" bituminous surface. He said this base and surface has been used throughout the city with favorable results, and the city has experienced very little maintenance on them. The estimated costs of the project are $61,250 for bituminous surfacing, $19,250 for Class V Gravel, $14~000 for gmading and widening and $14,000 for restoration, ditch cleaning and.culvert cleaning. $108,500 is the estimatec construction cost, plus contingencies, engineering & administrative costs of $27,125 for a total estimated cost for street improvement of $135,625. It is proposed to assess the cost on a unit basis..The cost is divided between 60 units for a total of $2~260.42 per unit. At 10% interest for 10 years, the annual unit cost is $367'.90. He explained it will be up to the individual owners to take care of their.own driveways, with the exception of a one-foot apron which would be provided on all dmiveways to protect the edge of the pavement. Mayor Gamec said sewer g water could possibly be put in in a minimum of 15 years. Normal maintenance is covered under the city's General Maintenance Fund. The other costs which the city has not decided on would be seal-coating which would be done in four to six years depending on what happens. In most of the areas, the city hasn't found more racing on these paved roads. If the costs were to increase by 25% at the time of construction: a hear%ng would have to be held again. Mr. Richard Larson, 15940 Radium St. N.W. Mr. Larson asked about eliminating the service road from the project. Public Hearing June 16, 1980 Page 1
