INTRODUCTION The City received a petition for various utility and street improvements on September I5, 2004. A copy of this petition is included in Appendix A. This petition was considered by I:he City Public Works Committee on September 21, 2004, and was forwarded to the City council with a recommendation that a feasibility study be prepared. This recommendation was ratified by the City Council at the October 12, 2004 meeting. The section of Ebony Street between 137th Avenue and Riverdale Drive is illustrated in Figure 1, along with the properties which front on this segment. The owners of these nine properties are identified in Appendix B. Three of these property owners (representing four o f these properties) have petitioned for these improvements pr/madly for the purpose of rnaking the sewer and water utilities available which will allow them to more intensively develop, their properties, There are several improvements which should be undertaken in conjunction with the extension of sewer and water. The current condition of Ebony Street .is poor and would soon require a bituminous overlay Of the existing pavement or a complete reconstruction. Second, the width of Ebony Street is 40 feet which is excessive considering the fact that it is neither a collector nor arterial street. The street has a bituminous berm curb in a neighborhgod where all of the surrounding street have concrete curb and gutter. Finally it would be desirable to Iccp the watermain between 137th Avenue and Riverdale Drive to provide increased system flexibility and improved fire flow capabilities. This report will identify the current conditions and along with the proposed improvements and the associated costs. Finally this report will outline the proposed method of financing for each element of the improvements. " EXISTING CONDITIONS 'Phis segment of Ebony Street was constructed in 1976 to a width of 38 feet. Thc pavement is believed to consist of two inches of wear course bituminous on top of four inches of class 5. The street has a bituminous berm curb. The curb and pavement are in generally poor condition due to age. ' City sewer and water are presently located in both Riverdale Drive and in 137~ Avenue. Sewer and water mains have been stubbed such that they may be extended northward from 137th Avenue and southward from Riverdale Drive down Ebony Street. Parcels A, B, and C are currently occupied by a self storage facili.ty which is serviced with · municipal sewer and water from a connection onto R_iverdale Drive. The Superbowl (Parcel F) is connected to municipal sewer and water from a connection onto Riverdale drive. Parcel l is connected to municipal sewer and water through 'a connection onto 137 Avenue. Parcel E is not connected to municipal utilities, but has two service laterals for each utility stubbed to the property line off of 137m Avenue.
