benefiting property owners, and to receive public input on the project. Property owners from 3 of the 59 identified benefiting properties attended. In summary, none of the property owners objected to the project, and most of the questions pertained to special assessments, particularly payment options. Staff will present this information in more detail to Council during the Public Hearing. Notification: Public Hearing notices were published in the Anoka Union Herald on October 26 and November 2, 2018. Staff also mailed Public Hearing notices to owners of all benefiting properties as required by law. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: If these streets are not reconstructed in 2019, they will need to be added to the next 5-year SROP to allow reconstruction between 2020 and 2024 instead. However, this would reduce the amount of pavement maintenance work that can be completed in 2019 since no new streets can be added to the current 5-year SROP, which is attached for reference. This is the final year of the 2015 - 2019 Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program (SROP). Developed properties along the project corridor may have private irrigation systems. Impacts to these systems may occur during construction. 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. Survey work has begun to allow data to be collected before snow covers the ground. Alternatives: Alternative # 1 — Motion to adopt Resolution # 18-231 approving the Feasibility Report and ordering plans and specifications for Improvement Project #19-03, Wood Pond Hills and Chestnut Ridge Street Reconstructions. Alternative #2 — Motion denying adoption of Resolution #18-231 at this time. Funding Source: The Feasibility Report was completed in-house as part of Staffs normal duties. Per the attached Feasibility Report, the engineer's estimate of project costs is $372,236.52. Staff proposes to fund the improvements using a combination of street reconstruction bond proceeds in the amount of $291,590.84, special assessments to benefiting properties in the amount of $76,918.30, and storm sewer funds in the amount of $3,727.38. A total of 59 residential parcels will benefit from the proposed improvements and are preliminarily proposed to be assessed for 25-percent of eligible project costs, which equates to a preliminary assessment of $1,303.70 per parcel. The City will fund the remaining 75% of eligible project costs. Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative # 1. This will allow the improvements to be completed in 2019, while providing for the use of special assessments to pay for up to 25-percent of the project costs per the applicable provisions of Chapter 8 of the City Charter, the City's Special Assessments Policy, and Minnesota Statute, Chapter 429. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution # 18-231 approving the Feasibility Report and ordering plans and specifications for Improvement Project #19-03, Wood Pond Hills and Chestnut Ridge Street Reconstructions.
