Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: March 31, 2008 <br />RE: Condit Street Reconstruction <br />Staff is recommending that the Council call for an Improvement Hearing to again consider the <br />reconstruction of Condit Street. This recommendation is based on the fact that the condition of <br />Condit Street is extremely poor and continues to deteriorate rapidly (see pictures attached). The <br />City's ability to keep this road in passable condition is highly questionable given the time and <br />materials it will require to do so. Additionally, the market is very favorable at this time, and staff <br />believes that this is the City's and residents' opportunity to improve the street at a very favorable <br />cost. <br />With that said, staff is recommending that we provide the residents the additional option of a <br />rural section roadway at essentially the same width and pavement location as currently exists. <br />This modification should address the concerns of the neighborhood relative to tree impact as well <br />as street width. <br />The City Engineer has estimated that the cost of a rural section at $170,000.00. It should be <br />noted that the City's Assessment Policy provides for a 100% assessment of rural section <br />improvements. The assessment for a full reconstruction was estimated at $476,100.00, with the <br />City's share of the cost estimated at $169,852.77 and the assessable portion at $306,247.23. The <br />assessment rates per linear foot for each project are as follows: <br />Rural Section <br />100% Assessed <br />Reconstructed Urban Section <br />Capped Rate <br />Residential Commercial <br />$55.42 /foot $110.83 /foot <br />$57.97 /foot $118.18 /foot <br />Therefore, staff is proposing that Council call for an Improvement Hearing to consider the <br />reconstruction of Condit Street, giving the property owners the choice to proceed with full <br />reconstruction or the limited rural section improvement described above. <br />1 <br />
