City Engineer Westby stated the Public Works Commission had reviewed this item briefly at <br />their May 16, 2017, meeting. He added the proposed plans include the addition of dedicated <br />right and left turn lanes on Sunwood Drive. He noted these turn lanes will create a safer <br />configuration for pedestrians and better traffic flow. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated the addition of a right turn lane onto Center Street will require the <br />loss of several parking spaces. He added seal coating will be completed from Zeolite Street to <br />Armstrong Boulevard before striping, and from Rhinestone Street to Ramsey Boulevard, and that <br />all striping work will be completed by the end of August 2017. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked whether the old stripes will be removed first. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed this. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to recommend that the <br />City Council approve Plans and Specifications for Sunwood Drive Striping Improvements, <br />Improvement Project 17-04. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Kuzma and Johns. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />5.04: Consider Recommending City Council Authorization to Prepare Plans and <br />Specifications for Puma Street Utility Extensions, Improvement Project #17-10 <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report, and explained that two development proposals, <br />Capstone Homes and the Riverstone development, are proposed to be served by City water and <br />sanitary sewer. Utilities must be extended north along Puma Street to serve additional homes in <br />the Riverstone development. Staff proposes to prepare final design plans and specifications for <br />this improvement project. All costs to extend utilities are proposed to be paid through City <br />sewer and water funds. The developer will pay for a portion of the public infrastructure costs via <br />an assessment agreement, plus a portion of the utilities via trunk utility fees which are paid at the <br />time of development. However, some additional costs are required to remove existing pavement <br />and replace it with temporary aggregate surfacing. Capstone will cover all of these costs via <br />their assessment agreement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked whether the house on the corner of Bunker Lake Boulevard and <br />Puma Street will pay anything. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated staff met with the residents and they will not be party to the <br />assessment agreement. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated the utilities are estimated to cost $750,000, and that the additional <br />costs for pavement removal and temporary aggregate surfacing are roughly estimated to cost <br />$100-150,000. The Capstone developers have estimated utilities at $88,000, so that would be an <br />Public Works Committee / June 20, 2017 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br /> <br />
