MINUTES City Council August 10, 1988 Car~la Lane The City Engineer reported that the petition also included a request Impr•ovement for• str•eet lighting. However, that r~equest will not be considered this (Cont.) evening as str~eet lighting r~equests fall under~ the jur•isdiction of NSP. The City Engineer~ then r~eported that ther•e are poor soils in the Car•la Lane area pointing out that special pipe was needed when sanitary sewer• was installed some year•s ago. The sewer~ is located below lake level and cast ir•on pipe was used. The Engineer repor~ted that the same would hold tr~ue for• a watermain improvement in that special watermain would be needed. The Engineer pr•esented a map showing the near~est Little Canada water•main to Carla Lane. The Engineer• pointed out two locations, one at the inter~section of LaBor~e Road and Arcade Str~eet and the other near• Keller Par~kway and County Road B-2. The Engineer~ reported that to extend water•main fr~om Ar•cade and LaBor•e to Car•la Lane would cost $500,500. To extend water~main down Keller Par•kway to Car•la Lane would cost $323,073. Due to these costs, which did not include the Carla Lane impr•ovement itself, the Engineer• felt the most feasible route for• getting water~main to Car•la Lane would be through the City of Maplewood. The Engineer• repor~ted that Maplewood has been petitioned for• water•main impr•ovement for Palm Cour•t. Public hearings on this petition ar~e scheduled for• some time during the winter, and, if appr~oved, the impr•ovement would be made in Spring of 1989. The Engineer repor•ted that the City cur•rently has 50 feet of right-of- way for~ Car•la Lane. However, the str•eet itself is only 22 feet wide. If the street is r•ebuilt, the City is pr•oposing that the 22 foot width remain since the pr•operty owner•s along Car•la Lane have many improvements within the r~ight-of-way and due to the fact that the houses ar•e within the 30 foot setback. The Engineer r•epor•ted that an alter•native to the reconstr•uction of the str~eet should watermain improvement be denied, is to overlay the street with 2 inches of bituminous. If an over•lay is done, concr~ete cur~b and gutter• would not be installed, but r~ather• a bituminous cur•b about 4 inches high on a slant. The Engineer r•epor•ted that the cost of r•econstruction of the str~eet is proposed at $166,244, cost of water•main impr•ovement is estimated at $247,129. Assessments for water~main divided between 28 lots would be $8,826 per lot. Assessments for str•eet r•econstr•uction divided between 25 lots would be $6,649 per• lot. The Engineer r•eported that the cost of the alternative of over•laying the street is estimated at $26,950 for• a cost of $1,078 per• lot. Scalze pointed out that the Engineer•'s estimate does not include the cost to br~ing watermain fr•om Palm Cour•t to Carla Lane. The Engineer• stated that his cost did include this and pointed out that Palm Cour•t is dir•ectly acr•oss Keller• Parkway fr•om Car•la Lane. The Engineer• also r~eported that in exchange for~ connecting Car•la Lane to water~, Maplewood would like an agr•eement with Little Canada to ser•vice the Maplewood proper•ty with water• in the area of Keller~ Par•kway and Arcade Street.
