Upon Council approval, Staff will publish the Public Hearing Notice in the Anoka Union Herald on October 27 and November 3, 2017. Staff will also mail Public Hearing Notices to the owners of all benefiting properties. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: The proposed pavement design should result in a minimum pavement life of at least 30 years, assuming that proactive, regular pavement maintenance treatments are performed during the life of the pavement. While a 60-year design life would typically be targeted for a reconstructed street, this project is not proposing a full street reconstruction due to the good condition of the majority of the existing 30-year old curb and gutter. Therefore, only the bituminous pavement is proposed to be reconstructed at this time as it may make sense to replace the pavement section at the time the rest of the existing curb and gutter is replaced, which may be 30 or more years in the future. Developed properties along the project corridor may have private irrigation systems. Impacts to these systems may occur where the existing curb and gutter is being replaced. Staff will notify property owners in writing of the pending construction as far in advance of construction as possible to allow them time to move their irrigation system components out of the construction area, after which they may replace the components in their original locations. Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #17-10-273 accepting the updated Feasibility Report and ordering a Public Hearing on November 14, 2017, for Improvement Project #17-02, River's Bend Street Reconstructions. Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #17-10-273 at this time. Funding Source: City staff prepared the Feasibility Report in-house as part of staff's normal duties. WSB and Associates, Inc. prepared a Pavement Evaluations and Recommendations report at a not -to -exceed cost of $3,290. The engineer's opinion of probable project costs is $301,738.31. A total of 44 residential parcels will benefit from the proposed improvements and are preliminarily proposed to be assessed for 25-percent of eligible project costs which totals $75,434.58. This equates to preliminary assessments of $1,714.42 per parcel. The City will fund the remaining 75-percent of project costs, which totals $226,303.73. These costs will be funded using Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program bond funds, as well as a small amount of Stormwater Utility Funds. Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative #1 to allow the project to be constructed as part of the 2018 Street Maintenance Program, and to allow for the use of special assessments to pay for a portion of the project costs per the applicable provisions of the City Charter, the City's Special Assessments Policy, and Minnesota Statute, Chapter 429. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #17-10-273 accepting the updated Feasibility Report and ordering a Public Hearing on November 14, 2017, for Improvement Project #17-02, River's Bend Street Reconstructions.
