7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> City of Ramsey Improvement Project 17-00 proposes to reconstruct the bituminous pavement <br /> section, to remove and replace damaged concrete curb and gutter, and to complete miscellaneous <br /> appurtenant work on Sunwood Drive between Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56 and Bunker Lake <br /> Boulevard/CSAH 116. <br /> It is the recommendation of City staff that City Project No. 17-00 is feasible, necessary, and cost- <br /> effective from an engineering standpoint, and that this project would best be constructed as a <br /> stand-alone project as proposed herein. <br /> The following Staff recommendations related to the proposed project are presented for Council <br /> consideration and concurrence: <br /> 1. Staff recommends reconstructing the segment of Sunwood Drive between Ramsey <br /> Boulevard/CSAH 56 and Bunker Lake Boulevard/CSAH 116 as proposed herein in 2017 <br /> thereby meeting current State Aid design standards and allowing all project costs to be <br /> eligible for the use of special assessments per the City's Special Assessments Policy. <br /> 2. Staff recommends ordering an benefit appraisal consultation report to ensure that the <br /> preliminary special assessments proposed herein will not exceed the benefit received as a <br /> result of the improvements in accordance with the City's Special Assessments Policy. <br /> 3. Staff recommends reconstructing the off-road bike trail along the north side of Sunwood <br /> Drive at a later date pending adoption of the City's Trail Maintenance Policy/Program. <br /> 4. Staff recommends excluding private irrigation system work from this project, and from <br /> all future City Improvement Projects, and instead recommends notifying property owners <br /> of pending construction as far in advance as possible and instructing them to relocate <br /> their private irrigation system(s) away from the construction area during construction, <br /> then allow replacement in or near the original location after construction is complete. <br /> The City Council is asked to act on the following items related to the proposed project: <br /> 1. Adopt Resolution 917-03-057 accepting the Feasibility Report, including the preliminary <br /> assessment roll as proposed, and ordering preparation of Plans and Specifications for City <br /> Improvement Project 917-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction. <br /> Feasibility Report <br /> Sunwood Drive Reconstruction <br /> City of Ramsey Project No.I7-00 Page 13 <br />
