Chairperson Riley stated the utilities along Bunker Lake Boulevard are in the right of way, and <br />generally do not affect the roadway. He asked what would happen if they need to extend utilities <br />even further, up Puma Street to Alpine Drive. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that may happen as the developer will be developing the full 80 <br />acres over the next decade or so. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked whether the utility extensions along Bunker Lake Boulevard and the <br />first half of Puma Street would all be completed as one project if the City moves forward. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated the contract will be awarded this week for utilities for Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard, which is a standalone project. He added this other project will be completed by <br />November. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked whether it would be acceptable to do the rest of the utilities. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby it is always preferred if possible to tie in to the existing pavement, to <br />ensure that streets are completed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked why that section of Bunker Lake Boulevard needs to be upgraded. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated the future business park report calls for a 3-lane road with center <br />turn lane. He added that Bunker Lake Boulevard was constructed as a 4-lane section due to the <br />River crossing, and the intersection was originally set up for a four-lane design. He noted it will <br />have to transition to a 3-lane segment towards Puma Street. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked whether that segment will be repaved along with Puma Street, and will <br />be part of the assessment agreement. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed this. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley requested that a specific number, approximately $250,000, be included as a <br />condition of approval. City Engineer Westby agreed to make this request of Capstone. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to recommend that the <br />City Council authorize Puma Street Utility Extensions, with the following added condition: <br /> <br />-A letter of credit or some other financial guarantee be requested from the developer to <br />cover engineering expenses and additional City expenses. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Johns and Kuzma. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / June 20, 2017 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br />
