7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS City of Ramsey Improvement Project No. 18-00 proposes to reconstruct the bituminous pavement section, to remove the existing bituminous curb and replace it with B618 concrete curb and gutter, and to complete miscellaneous appurtenant work on the following street segments within the Stanhope Terrace residential subdivision: 1. Lite Street (approx. 1,320 linear feet) — Alpine Drive to north cul-de-sac. 2. 154th Lane (approx. 950 linear feet) — -Lite Street to Roanoke Street. 3. 153rd Court (approx. 300 linear feet) — Roanoke Street to west cul-de-sac. It is the recommendation of City staff that City Project No. 18-00 is feasible, necessary, and cost- effective from an engineering standpoint, and this project would best be constructed in conjunction with the River's Bend and The North Forty Street Reconstruction projects as proposed herein. The following Staff recommendations related to the proposed project are presented for Council consideration and concurrence: 1. Remove existing bituminous curb and replace with B618 concrete curb and gutter. 2. Reconstruct existing bituminous pavement using full -depth reclamation process, meeting the City's standard residential pavement section of 4-inches aggregate base class 5 or (reclaim), 2-inches new bituminous base course, and 11/2-inches new bituminous wear course. 3. Staff recommends excluding private irrigation system work from this project. Instead, staff will notify property owners of pending construction as far in advance as possible, and instruct them to relocate their irrigation system(s) away from the construction area during construction, then allow replacement in or near the original location after construction is complete. 4. Staff recommends holding a neighborhood information meeting on November 1, 2017 to inform property owners of the proposed improvements and to gather their input prior to competing plans and specifications and requesting Council approval to advertise for bids as outlined in the project schedule. 5. Order an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure special assessments do not exceed the benefit received as a result of the improvements. 6. Meet with -Lite Street property owners to discuss acquisition of easements for cul-de-sac. The City Council is asked to act on the following items related to the proposed project: 1. Accept the preliminary residential special assessment rate of $6,733.36 per lot. 2. Authorize an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure all special assessments are commensurate with benefit received from the proposed improvements. 3. Adopt Resolution #17-10-271 approving this Feasibility Report and ordering the Public Hearing for November 14, 2017.
