sanitary sewer and water will be to this subdivision by the end of 2006. It would seem <br />inappropriate to reconstruct these roadways without the installation of urban services given the <br />proximity of the proposed Brookfield development and the indicated desire by many of the <br />residents within Now and Then Estates to subdivide their properties. The installation of urban <br />utilities in this subdivision in turn would require consensus on where future streets are to be <br />installed. Finally, the activity associated with the construction of the Brookfield development <br />is likely to have an impact on the streets in Now and Then Estates despite best efforts to limit <br />traffic thxough this subdivision. It may result in a better product if this reconstruction was <br />implemented after a substantial portion of the Brookfield Development has taken place. <br /> <br />There was considerable discussion of the following issues related to the reconstruction of <br />Dysprosium Street: <br /> <br />A neighborhood meeting to determine the desire of the residents <br />Possible road realignments in relation to the study of the rural reserve area <br />Further information needed regarding the number of parcels with commitments to <br />Oakwood Land Development <br />Anticipation of future roads to facilitate stubbing in sewer and water <br />Determination on assessment amounts at full value or partial cost of the project <br /> o City Engineer Jankowski advised the City has not completed any reconstructions <br /> to date, and this project would set the policy. Overlays and sealcoats have been <br /> assessed 50/50. The decision regarding these assessments may be based upon <br /> the project cost and how much is affordable. <br /> o Acting Chairperson Cook suggested the establishment of a policy with a full <br /> assessment when there is a petition for sewer and water and a reduced <br /> assessment when the timeframe of the project is based on the City's schedule. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to obtain further information regarding <br />how many of these properties will be redeveloped. It should be determined of the lots that will <br />remain, which property owners would like City sewer and water. Staff should also provide <br />information on a road reconstruction policy. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Committee was to recommend to the City Council that Dysprosium Street <br />be removed from the reconstruction schedule at this time due to the upcoming official mapping <br />of Highway 47. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />-260- <br /> <br /> <br />
