We will need to ensure we are maintaining adequate pedestrian access from the senior projects to the shopping center until the streetscape work is done. Coordination with CommonBond may also help decided these timing issues. • Market Place parking lot. I have proposed to Mr. Grootwassink that we could include the work under our contract and assess him an additional amount for this work. This would be subject to a development agreement and advice from the City Attorney as this concept's permissibility. • Staff would recommend proceeding with this project subject to the resolution of the above referenced issues. (Streetscape timing would not have to be decided upon until the improvement hearing.) Ryan Drive • This project involves the correction of the heaving areas along Ryan Drive. These areas have been a continual problem along this roadway. They were once thought to be occurring due to the surcharging (settlement) caused by the Frador Recycling piles. However, surcharging should have been completed long ago and it is obvious other factors are at work. • It is believed (based on comments by adjoining landowners) that old wood pilings are present in this area from an old railroad line. (We are attempting to confirm this.) If that is correct, the heaving is then caused by the road settling around the pilings which are not moving. To correct this, we would need to dig down and either remove the pilings or cut them off below the subgrade to allow for future settlement. • Two options were reviewed, one involved 600 feet of repair and the other 1200 feet (virtually the entire stretch from Ryan Lane to County Drive). • The four property owners present favored reconstructing the 600 foot area by subcutting the road, adding three to four feet of sand fill, a petromat liner, a foot or so of recycled class V, and four inches or bituminous. It is believed this would address the problem. • We did a cost/benefit analysis of other options, including a continuance of grinding off the humps and overlaying the road. (A practice previously used on this area.) While initially less costly, it proves to be more expensive in the longrun as you continue to redo this step every five years or so. • Staff proposed the entire Ryan Industrial Park area be assessed using a 50% area/50% front footage method. (This was the same formula used in the 1993 project.) • Those present asked if the City was going to participate. (In the 1993 project, we contributed 20 %, the former developer contributed 20 %, and the property owners were assessed 60% for 10 years with the Last payment in 2003.) Given this correction is really an extension of the 1993 project, I would recommend we participate at the 20% rate. • The key concern with this project is the vast majority of the property owners were not present. They may not be interested in further assessments. However, Staff would strongly recommend the approach we have outlined here to best serve the public's interest. Sextant • This is essentially the same project as discussed last year. The major change is we are proposing to reconstruct the entire section of roadway from McMenemy instead of just the portion east of Arkwright. This change by staff was done due to the condition of the sanitary sewer line and the roadway in this area. (We initially avoided the piece from McMenemy to Arkwright to avoid inconvenience more of the neighborhood. However, we feel this work is warranted at this time.) Page 167
