Ll44ilIHG G TISSO(IfT1S Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: December 16, 2011 RE: 2012 Projects Feasibility Report As required as part of the 429 process we are completing the feasibility report for the proposed 2012 Street and Utility Improvements projects. The streets where rehabilitation work is proposed are as follows: • Rosewood Drive — County Road C to the north cul -de -sac • Park Street County Road C to Demont Avenue • Spruce Street — County Road C to the south cul -de -sac • Sylvan Street — County Road C to the south cul -de -sac As directed by the City Council, informational meetings were held with each neighborhood to obtain resident input and gauge project acceptance. Minutes from those meetings are included in the report along with a description of the proposed improvements, estimated costs, and financing for each project. The feasibility report outlines the proposed method of assessment that the Staff feels provides equitable cost sharing among the properties affected. The City Council should provide input on the proposed method. We would also ask the City Council to provide direction on the method of restoration to be used on the project. The City has achieved good and bad results with both seed and sod and both require additional care by residents to achieve the best results. The current project costs are estimated based on seed restoration and would increase slightly if sod were used. At this time we are requesting the City Council accept the feasibility report and call for the Improvement Hearings. Please contact me at 763 - 780 -0450 ext. 3 with any questions or concerns regarding the report. 10062 Randers Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780 -0450 Fax (763) 780 -0452 Memo.121611 -CC (Feasibility) 2 TRfl6 flflRTII
