Agenda - Public Works Committee - 04/17/2007

Home

The residents that signed the petition were envisioning a project that would generally be confined to Helium Street and 150th Lane east of Helium Street to the eastern plat boundary. This would be a smaller project and would require re-excavation of the street in the future if the remainder of the development requested sewer and water. Confining the project to this area will require acquisition of land for ponding outside this development as the lowest point on 150th Lane is to the east in the Ramsey Commons 2nd Addittion. The feasibility study can be revised to address the residents concerns or it can be forwarded to the City Council which would probably result in generation of a counter petition to stop the project. There is a staff input item later on the agenda to discuss the ponding situation that occurred this spring on the Asmussen lots that are covered by the drainage and utility easement. Funding Source: The primary source of the construction cost would be assessment of the benefiting properties, the watermain upsizing would corne from the Water Utility Fund, the cost is $10,920. The difference in street width cost would come from the Street Maintenance Fund. This would need to be added to the 2008 budget, tbe cost is $12,636. Staff Recommendation: Staff requests Committee input on revisions to the feasibility study and potential concessions the City would consider. Council Action: Motion to recommend revision of the feasibility study to address the resident concerns. Or Motion to forward the feasibility study to the City Council for review.
