CASE <br /> <br />CONSIDER REQUEST BY RAMSEY TOWN CENTER TO EXTEND <br />THE DEADLINE FOR PLACING THE SECOND <br /> BITUMINOUS LIFT ON NEW STREETS <br /> By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Attached to this case is a letter from Ramsey Town Center Inc. requesting the extension <br />of the deadline for providing the wear course lift of bituminous on East Ramsey Parkway <br />(North and South). Attached is a sketch illustrating these streets which were constructed <br />during the summer of 2004. The City Council adopted the attached policy concerning the <br />placement of the bituminous wear course on streets at the May 5, 2004 City Council <br />meeting which would require the final paving of these streets to occur this summer. <br /> <br />While the delay in the placement o f the.wear course of'bituminoUs does minimize surface <br />marring of the finished street surface while new building construction activity is taking <br />place, there are negative impacts associated with this delay. These impacts include the" <br />chipping of concrete curb and gutter from winter plowing, the ponding of water in the <br />unfinished gutter line, and the aesthetics of an unfinished street to adjacent residents.' <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The segment of East Ramsey Parkway east of Rhinestone Street serves as the outlet for <br />Ramsey Town Center 2nd Addition, the first residential development. Units will be <br />occupied by residents this summer. PACT charter school is open and also uses ~this <br />segment of East Ramsey Parkway for access. · <br /> <br />The segment west of Rhinestone Street is adjacent to RTC 7th Addition which'is in the <br />approval process at this time. Construction of the utilities and streets is anticipated to <br />start this year. Curb cuts for driveways and connection to existing utilities will be <br />required. <br /> <br />Staft recommends requiring placement of the second lift of bituminous on East Ramsey <br />Park Way east of Rhinestone Street during the 2005 construction season. Staff <br />recommends delaying the placement of the second lift of bituminous west of Rhinestone <br />Street until the 2006 construction season. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to require placement of the second lift of bituminous on East Ramsey Parkway <br />east of Rhinestone Street in the 2005 construction season and allow placement of. the <br />second lift west of Rhinestone Street during the 2006 construction season. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Public Works Director/Fire Chief '.. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal Engineer <br />Public Works Street Supervisor ..... <br />Civil Engineer II <br />PW: 05/17/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
