515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: January 22, 1993 <br />RE: Lake Street Improvement Project <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached are three memos prepared by City Engineer Mike <br />Lynch addressing various options to consider relating to <br />the Lake Street improvement project. You will note that he <br />is recommending that Option 1 be installed because it <br />provides a long life street that meets current City <br />standards. However, should the Council deem it <br />appropriate, he could agree with a 28 foot wide section <br />(Option 5) due to the limited traffic on this street. He <br />indicated to me this has been done in other communities. <br />Should neither of these options be approved by the City <br />Council, then he feels Option 2 should be pursued based on <br />the value relative to the expected life. He has indicated <br />that Options 2 and 3 would provide a similar street section <br />in terms of estimated life. For purpose of discussion, he <br />has estimated this life at approximately ten years. <br />This past Wednesday, Mike and I met with Chuck Nagel <br />representing the Lake Street property owners. We reviewed <br />these options with him in detail. He asked that another <br />option be prepared which would consist of grinding the <br />existing pavement in place, grading, and then resurfacing <br />over that material (Option 4). We are meeting to review <br />this late Friday afternoon. We also discussed that the <br />improvement should consist of a rolled bituminous curve in <br />this analysis rather than the concrete curb the neighbors <br />had desired. Mike's estimate included concrete curb and <br />gutter. To do this project with a bituminous rolled curb <br />would reduce the lineal foot cost by about $10. <br />Another issue to consider is that fact that in Mike's <br />Options 2 and 3 he has not had the City participate on an <br />80/20 basis. He feels that due to increased maintenance <br />costs associated with the street not meeting City <br />Page 1 <br />
