after the meeting Staff was contacted by two benefiting property owners and both were opposed to reconstructing the streets at that time stating redevelopment was imminent. Since such time, Staff has met with the property owners and the general consensus of all is that redevelopment is imminent so streets should not be reconstructed at this time. On October 16, 2018 Staff provided an update on the draft Feasibility Report to the Public Works Committee. On October 23, 2018 the City Council adopted Resolution #18-218 accepting the Feasibility Report for Improvement Project #18-02, HY-10 Ramsey Street Reconstructions, along with Staffs recommendation to shelve the project until such time that it is no longer needed or the adjacent property owners request that the streets be repaired. Minutes from the October 23, 2018 City Council meeting are attached. In subsequent discussions between Staff and the Public Works Committee, Staff received consensus approval from the Public Works Committee to reconstruct the pavement at the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019 using in-house resources to ensure that the intersection could continue to be safely used by the public, and effectively maintained by the City. Timeframe: Staff anticipates approximately 5 minutes will be required to present and discuss this case. Observations/Alternatives: Since October 2018, several events have transpired that have caused Staff to question the cost-effectiveness of reconstructing the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019. These include; 1. PSD, LLC's proposed retail development west of Armstrong Boulevard between 146th and 1447th Avenues. 2. Chalich Trucking, who was the primary user of this intersection, sold their property over the winter. 3. Public Works Street Department crews have been extremely busy patching streets this spring and summer, and will need to continue doing so into October based on the poor condition of numerous streets throughout the City, and based on City Council's approval to purchase a new heated patching trailer and to rent additional spray patching equipment this summer/fall. Based on these recent developments, Staff proposes to suspend improving the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019, and instead monitor pavement conditions at the intersection and recommend future improvements as needed. Funding Source: Dependent on discussions. Recommendation: Staff recommends suspending improvements to the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019 for reasons noted earlier. Instead, Staff will continue to monitor pavement conditions and will recommend future improvements as needed. Action: Dependent on discussions. 102318 CC minutes Attachments Form Review Inbox Reviewed By Date Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 07/11/2019 09:39 AM
