Ill-1111K - fSSO(IIIT -S TRH! tiORTR Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: January 29, 2008 RE: Kohlman Lane Area Feasibility Study Addition Little Canada Portion of Beam Avenue The Kohlman Lane Area Feasibility Study prepared by the City of Maplewood is attached to this memo. The project feasibility study includes the reconstruction of the Little Canada portion of Beam Avenue along with watermain installation. The study addresses the existing conditions, proposed improvements, and documents the need for the project, it's feasibility, and cost effectiveness. Due to the completion of the feasibility study by Maplewood staff and their City's inability to assess residents of Little Canada, the cost recovery section of the document only provides an overall cost to the City of Little Canada. This memo is to provide additional information to the City Council on the funding of Little Canada's portion of the improvements. The total cost of the project to the City of Little Canada is estimated at $179,900.00. This includes the relaying of a sanitary sewer line on Kohlman Lane that we requested to accommodate a future gravity sewer line extension to the Richie Place Development, Scully property, and possibly the Canadian Woods Development. Using the estimated project costs we have prepared a preliminary assessment roll for the Little Canada properties that access Beam Avenue. Based on the City of Little Canada's assessment policy up to 85% of street reconstruction costs can be assessed based on an 873" urban section with a maximum assessment rate of $57.97 per front foot. For this project the maximum front foot rate would apply. Due to the similar size of all the parcels and an assumed equivalent use by all residents, a unit assessment is proposed for the street assessment of $5,679.42 per unit. The watermain improvements would also be assessed based on the approved policy. The policy states that 100% of the watermain costs can be assessed up to a maximum of $6,302.00 per unit. The estimated watermain costs results in a watermain assessment of $5,425.00 per unit. Based on these assessment figures approximately 37% of the project costs will be assessed and 63% of the costs will be borne by the City. A preliminary assessment roll is also attached to this memo for additional information.
