Jankowski, City Engineer Background: Thc City received a petition for various street and utility improvements on December 10, 2004. ri'he attached feasibility study outlining the project details, costs, and financing was provided to each property owner and a public hearing was held on March 8, 2005. The sixty day waiting period specified by Section 4.60.05 Sub. 1 of City Code for projects of this nature has now passed and the Council may now act to order the preparation of plans and specifications for the work outlined in the feasibility study. The project proposes that the roadway be regarded such that it is aligned within the center of thc 66 foot right of way. A 28 foot wide bituminous pavement shall consist of four in ch cs o f' Class 5 granular base, two inches of bituminous base course, and 1.5 inches of bituminous wear course. Drainage shall be provided through regraded roadside ditches and new driveway culverts and bituminous berm curb. Drainage from the majority of the project area shall be conveyed to the wetland which is located south of 164th Lane and cast of Sapphire Street. Where it is necessary to remove existed driveways for the installation o£culverts or to accommodate a transition to the new roadway, such driveways shall be neatly saw cut and replaced with like material as a portion of the project cost. Disturbed turfed areas shall be restored with fertilizer, seed and mulch. Several rcsidents expressed concern over drainage and possible impacts to tree lines along 164th Lane. A neighborhood meeting was held with residents on May 5, 2005 to rcvicw these issues. Preliminary plans suggested that no trees would be directly removed as a result of the grading and that a number of tree protection measures would be included within the special conditions of the project to maximize the survivability of those trees which will suffer some root loss. The majority of the drainage will be directed to the comer of 164th Lane and Sapphire Street into the wetland which drains to County Ditch 3 via a lateral ditch. Recommendation: Staff recommends that this project be ordered and that the City Council direct that staff prepare plans and specifications for the improvements.
