long-term Street Maintenance Program. Page 223 from the CIP is attached which shows the streets in Wood Pond Hills & Chestnut Ridge were proposed to receive overlays in 2019. In the spring of 2018 Staff re-evaluated the pavement condition of these streets and found the pavement has degraded past the point where an overlay should be applied, and that a total reconstruct is now required. Staff therefore recommends that these streets be reconstructed in 2019 to allow bonds to be used to pay for the improvements per the City's 2015 - 2019 Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program (SROP). The streets proposed for reconstruction in 2019 within the Wood Pond Hills & Chestnut Ridge residential development include about 3,310 linear feet (0.63 miles) of streets including: • Krypton Street — Sunwood Drive to West plat line • Krypton Street — East plat line to West CDS • 146th Avenue — Nowthen Blvd/CSAH 5 to West plat line • 146th Avenue — East plat line to Junkite Street • Helium Street — Sunwood Drive to 146th Avenue Attached is a street summary sheet including year of original construction, historical maintenance operations, PASER rating(s), and existing pavement section data based on the Ground Penetrating Radar analysis completed by Braun Intertec in 2017. In general, these streets are 24 - 26 years old and have reached the end of their useful life requiring complete reconstruction. Staff ordered soil borings while completing the Feasibility Report. The results of the borings were only recently submitted so Staff was still evaluating the project impacts at the time this case was prepared. More information will be presented to the Committee during the meeting. Preliminary project costs were previously estimated to be $315,000. Based on the results of the soil borings analysis, this estimate may change. Staff will address this in more detail at the meeting. Staff proposes to fund the proposed improvements using a combination of special assessments to benefiting properties, street reconstruction bond funds, and stormwater utility funds. Timeframe: Staff anticipates 20 minutes will be required to present this case and address questions. Observations/Alternatives: Staff proposes to conduct public information meetings with benefiting property owners for Improvement Project #'s 19-01, 19-02, and 19-03 sometime between October 23rd, the date Staff proposes to request Council approval to order Public Hearings, and November 13th, the date the Public Hearings are proposed to be conducted. All applicable input received at these public information meetings would be presented to Council during the Public Hearings for each project on November 13th. Funding Source: Costs and funding sources are addressed in the background section of this case. Recommendation: N/A Action: N/A Attachments
