MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 11, 1992 <br />be a 9-ton industrial roadway with an estimated 15-year <br />life. <br />The Engineer felt that Option A was unrealistic because <br />of the costs involved, therefore, Option B was <br />proposed. Option B includes a 24-foot wide street with <br />no curb and gutter proposed. Gravel shoulders would be <br />developed along the street edges as well as drain tile <br />and fabric. <br />To further reduce costs, option C was developed, which <br />involves patch and overlay of the existing streets. It <br />is anticipated that under Option C the property owners <br />would be back in five years for additional major <br />repairs. <br />The Engineer reported that he has looked at the <br />drainage of the area, which he described in detail. To <br />correct existing drainage problems, the City Engineer <br />sugqested the need for storm sewer at a minimum from <br />the pond to the Ryan Lane cul-de-sac. Ultimately storm <br />sewer might be extended up to Ryan Drive and Spruce <br />Street, however, the Engineer proposed use of an open <br />ditch system along these streets. <br />The Engineer reported that in taking soil borings of <br />the streets within the Park, he has determined that <br />there is currently 2 1/2 to 6 inches of bituminous over <br />flyash. The Public Works Departments has reported only <br />1 1/2 inches of bituminous in some areas. <br />The City Engineer outlined the proposed costs for the <br />various options as follows: <br />Street Improvements <br />Storm Sewer <br />Total Cost <br />Annual Cost <br />Option A <br />$647,678 <br />197,962 <br />$845,640 <br />$91,850 <br />Option B <br />$515,661 <br />166,292 <br />$681,953 <br />$73,837 <br />Option C <br />$175,467 <br />59,759 <br />$235~266 <br />$48,832 <br />The Engineer went on to explain that for Ryan Lane he <br />is proposing a slightly different street section. <br />There is currently 32 feet of width on Ryan Lane and <br />property owners are parkinq on both sides of the street <br />causing congestion problems. Therefore, the Engineer <br />is recommending that Ryan Lane be improved with a <br />36-wide street. 36 feet of bituminous would provide <br />adequate area for parking on one side of the street. <br />The Engineer estimated a 15-year street life under <br />Options A or B, a 50 year life for storm sewer <br />improvement, and a 5-year street life for Option C. <br />Page 3 <br />
