- 6 - could occur on the east side from the two commercially zoned properties without creating non-conforming properties. A street width constructed to 24-feet face to face on Condit Street can be accommodated within the existing 30-foot right-of-way so the improvement could be completed with acquiring only temporary construction easements or rights-of-entry documents. However, this leaves very little room outside the curb for the installation of other private utilities in the future and a limited area for snow storage. We have spoken to the Property Owner at 2885 Country Drive and he implied a willingness to work with City for some right-of-way acquisition or a temporary construction easement. We have not spoken to the Owner of 2828 Condit Street specifically about right-of-way acquisition. We would request input from the City Council if City Staff should pursue the acquisition of additional right-of-way or if temporary easements should be utilized for the proposed improvements. IX. PERMITS A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit will be needed due to the disturbance size of more than one acre of land along with a permit from the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District. X. ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS The estimated costs for each street have been prepared and include all anticipated utility improvement costs that will be associated with the street reconstruction or rehabilitation. A detailed cost estimate for each street improvement is shown in Appendix B and includes the construction costs and total project costs including overhead and contingency. Table 1 below provides a summary of the estimated total project cost for each street, including contingency and overhead. The overhead costs for the project are estimated at 25 percent. The overhead costs include funds for administration, legal, fiscal, engineering, preparation of plans and specifications, and field surveying and inspection. The cost listed for the Condit Street and Burke Lane work does not take into account any costs for the acquisition of additional right-of-way on Condit Street. Table 1 Total Project Costs Jackson/Old C/Lake Shore $ 275,000.00 Park View Court $ 84,000.00 Condit Street & Burke Lane $ 310,000.00 TOTAL COST $ 669,000.00 XI. FINANCING Based on the City Assessment Policy that governs street rehabilitation, the primary method of financing street improvements is to assess the adjacent Property Owners on a front foot basis.
