MAYOR Michael L Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaVaile Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Joel R. Hanson Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator DATE: September 22, 2000 RE: Little Canada Improvement Update Here is an update on the status of the Little Canada Road improvement project. • Attached is a project update newsletter from Howard R. Green that is being distributed to property owners/tenants/residents in this area. • We are not planning to assess the project this fall given that a number of project components will not be completed. It is likely we will add it in with our 2001 assessment hearings. • A gravel surface should exist on the majority of the street by the end of next week. Curb and gutter will follow soon thereafter and pavement should be in place before the end of October. • We are attempting to delete the sidewalk work from this fall's activity given our concerns with settlement in the boulevard area caused by the utilities. We feel a freeze /thaw cycle will help minimize this concern. • We will be pursuing a change order to add some additional storm sewer work from the end of Market Place Drive to Round Lake. Currently, a 36 -inch storm sewer along Market Place Drive makes two 90 degree turns once it intersects with Little Canada Road and then flows into a 24 -inch metal culvert on the south side of Little Canada Road. Given the number of unknowns relative to new development in the area, staff feels it would be wise to upgrade this outlet to 36 inches and eliminate the metal culvert and 90 degree turns rather than risk tearing up Little Canada Road in the future. No cost estimates are available at this time. (See plan sheet attached.) Page 85
