The street was originally constructed in 1979. Due to several contributing factors including construction traffic from adjacent neighborhood construction and lot filling and home construction along Payne Avenue itself, overweight hauling, poor soils, and only a 5 -ton design the street began to fail prematurely within a few years. After several meetings and proposals for correction an improvement project was approved in 1989 and completed in 1990. The improvement included the reconstruction of two sections of the street with fabric, draintile, and sand and new bituminous with the remainder of the street receiving a 2" overlay after some patching. This improvement brought Payne Avenue up to a 7 -ton design. Due to the premature failure of the street a unique plan. was used to fund the improvement, where residents were only assessed approximately 30% of the costs with the City picking up the remainder. The estimated Pavement Management rating for the road in its current state is 64 out of 100. The street suffers from wheel track rutting, extensive cracking with some areas of severe edge cracking and alligator cracking along a significant portion of the roadway. The area from the powerlines to County Road D is in better condition than the remainder of the street and this can be explained by the fact that it was the largest area fully reconstructed in 1990. The street is showing signs of its age and normal deterioration, but currently is not in need of full reconstruction as the concrete curb and gutter remains in relatively good condition. Sanitary sewer and water service are provided to all properties along both streets. The street is served with storm sewer, but only has 4 catchbasins to allow water from the gutterline into the system. The system also accepts water from a backyard drainage swale behind the homes to the west of Payne Avenue. The existing structures on the north end of the street are in good condition, but the structures on the south portion of the street are in need of replacement. Public Works staff is also reviewing the condition of the storm sewer pipe serving the backyard drainage swale for signs of deterioration. VI. INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS Informational meetings were held for all streets on November 15th, 2010 to gather public input on the proposed project from those adjacent to the improvements. Copies of the sign -in sheets and complete meeting minute notes for these meetings are included in Appendix D. VII. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS A. DIANNA LANE Dianna Lane is proposed to be reconstructed to a 28 -foot wide drive surface with concrete curb and gutter. The existing storm sewer system is being reviewed as part of the design and will be expanded and /or replaced to provide improved drainage of the street and boulevard areas. At this time we have assumed that the existing outlet pipe from the street to Lake Gervias is sufficient for use as the outlet for the new storm sewer system. 6 9
