All of the street improvements are necessary to provide the residents of these areas with a safe and adequate public transportation system. The proposed improvements will minimize future maintenance costs and the magnitude of the proposed project will ensure competitive bidding. From this standpoint, the project is cost effective. V. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. DIANNA LANE Dianna Lane from County Road B2 to the north was originally constructed in the late 70's and was impacted again in the early 80's when watermain was installed. The street has a fairly constant width of 30 -feet except at the two cul -de -sacs and has rolled bituminous curb. The road, is located within a 60 -foot right -of -way with an 85 -foot radius right -of -way at the first cui -de -sac and a 60 -foot radius at the end cul -de -sac. The street has a total length of approximately 1,900 feet. The Pavement Management rating for the road is 41 out of 100. The pavement rating indicates that the road has deteriorated to a level where it would no longer be cost effective to rehabilitate the street. The only viable option is full reconstruction. An Outlot exists in the Gervais Shores Addition Development that is owned by the Gervais Shores Association. The lot is of sufficient size to allow building under the current City requirements, but documentation has been provided by the Association of a restrictive convenience prohibiting building on the lot and the County's property tax information lists the lots value at around $11,900.00. Based on review of the City records and discussions with long time residents of the area, the lot was set aside as green area and to provide walk -in access to Gervais Lake for all those within the Gervais Shores Development. Representatives of the Association have indicated that membership in the Association is optional and not all homeowners within the development are members. Service stubs were not provided for sanitary sewer or watermain to the Outlot. The small cul -de -sac at the end of Dianna Lane has a center median island that was added after the initial construction of the street. Based on discussions with residents and review of past City meeting minutes the island was added at the request of the residents with abutting property around the cul -de -sac. It also appears that the island was designed and paid for by the residents with City approval. The residents also installed the landscaping within the island. All properties are served with sanitary sewer and watermain along the project length. The storm sewer serving the street consists of 4 catch basins that drain directly into the lake without any treatment. B. ASPEN CIRCLE Aspen Circle was originally constructed in the mid 80's as an urban section. The street is approximately 1,220 feet long with a face -to -face width of approximately 30 -feet. As with most developments a form of surmountable curb was used, but 7
