Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. INTRODUCTION 2022 Street & Utility Improvements (Woodlynn Ave, Ryan Dr) ǀ 0N1.125241 Page 1 I. INTRODUCTION The City of Little Canada is planning reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts on several residential and industrial streets during the 2022 construction season, in accordance with the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. The City’s 2022 work plan includes proposed street and utility improvements to the following streets: 1. Ryan Drive 2. Woodlynn Avenue 3. Yorkton Ridge (detailed in a separate report) 4. Maple Lane – Jackson Street (detailed in a separate report) Refer to Figure 1 in Appendix A for a depiction of the project areas. This report focuses on City infrastructure improvements to the industrial areas of Ryan Drive and Woodlynn Avenue. Infrastructure improvements to these streets include pavement reclamation (Ryan Drive) and pavement reconstruction (Woodlynn Avenue), watermain improvements, storm sewer and sanitary sewer improvements, and other improvements in accordance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. See Figures 2A and 2C in Appendix B for maps of the existing conditions on each street, respectively. This report will review the existing conditions of each defined project area and discuss, in detail, the proposed improvements. The report will also provide preliminary cost estimates for the proposed improvements with financing for the projects coming from a combination of special assessments and the City’s Infrastructure Capital Improvement Fund. Informational meetings for each project area were held with affected property owners in attendance. There, the proposed project scope, costs, and funding sources were discussed with the opportunity for property owners to comment on the project and ask questions. Ryan Drive Informational Meeting A neighborhood meeting is planned with the Ryan Drive Industrial Park on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. There, the anticipated project scope, project costs, and anticipated assessments will be shared with the property owners. The results of this neighborhood meeting will be shared with the City Council in a staff report prior to the Public Improvement Hearing in January 2022. The three parcels north of Ryan Drive and immediately west of Country Drive do not have sanitary sewer service. These property owners were contacted individually during the preparation of this feasibility report to determine if they were interested in adding sanitary sewer service to the project, with 100% of costs split between the three properties. · 209 Ryan Drive (Roger Stanke) – The owner noted that he would like to demolish and rebuild a portion of his property in the near future. He has independently started getting quotes for sanitary sewer service. He was moderately interested in adding sanitary sewer service with this project but overall non-committal. · 221 Ryan Drive (Mikrot Properties) – The owner indicated that the existing septic tank serving her property and tenant seemed to meet current needs and wasn’t advocating for the improvement. That said, she said she understood the long-term benefit of having sewer access to her property and was not strongly opposed. If the improvement occurred, she preferred a deferred assessment option if available.
