10062 Flanders Court NE – Blaine, MN 55449 – Ph: (763) 780-0450 Fax (763) 780-0452 <br /> <br />Z:\PROJ\120203E - 2017 Street Improvements\0030\Memo-121616-CC (2017 Feasibility).doc <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br /> <br />DATE: December 16, 2016 <br /> <br />RE: 2017 Street & Utility Project Feasibility Report <br /> <br /> <br />As required as part of the 429 process a feasibility report has been completed for the <br />proposed 2017 Street and Utility Improvements project. The streets where <br />improvements are proposed are as follows: <br /> <br /> Vanderbie Road – Labore Road to Allen Avenue <br /> Rose Place & Lakeshore Avenue – Lake Street to Jackson Street <br /> Labore Avenue – Jackson Street to the west cul-de-sac <br /> <br />As directed by the City Council, informational meetings were held with each <br />neighborhood to obtain resident input and gauge project acceptance. Minutes from <br />those meetings are included in the report. In general those present at the meetings were <br />in favor of moving forward with the street improvements. <br /> <br />The feasibility report includes information on the existing conditions, proposed <br />improvements, estimated costs, and property assessments as outlined in the City’s <br />Assessment Manual. The final determination on the assessments will not be made until <br />the assessment hearing, but staff feels that the recommendations of the report provide <br />for an equitable treatment of all properties based on the information known to date. <br /> <br />At this time we are requesting the City Council order the feasibility report and in a <br />separate motion accept the feasibility report and call for the Public Hearing for these <br />road segments. We are also asking the City Council to approve the proposed maximum <br />residential capped assessment rate of $71.30 per assessable front foot for 2017. Please <br />contact me at 763-780-0450 ext. 3 with any questions or concerns regarding the report.
