MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 23, 2007 <br />IMP. NO. <br />2007-03 - <br />BOSS <br />ROAD <br />CONSISTING OF TWO 11-FOOT DRIVING LANES AND TWO 5- <br />FOOTSHOUDERS <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. <br />Ayes (4). <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />Mayor Blesener opened the public hearing to consider the improvement <br />of Boss Road by street construction, concrete curb and gutter, utilities, <br />and drainage enhancements. <br />The City Engineer presented a detailed report relative to this proposed <br />improvement. That report outlined the proposed improvements which <br />include a 24-foot urban section street with concrete curb and gutter, storm <br />drainage improvements which include an infiltration pond to the north of <br />the proposed road, and an overflow for the pond toward the railroad ditch <br />to the west. The Engineer noted that there is existing watermain in Boss <br />Road. Sanitary sewer service would come from LaBore Avenue to the <br />north, and would be routed to provide for minimal tree loss. <br />The Engineer noted that the road improvement has been petitioned for in <br />order to accommodate the property division for 57 Bryan Sheet. It is <br />proposed that Boss Road would end in a cul-de-sac approximately 250 <br />feet north of Bryan Street to provide access for the proposed lot. <br />The Engineer indicated that another option would be to construct a 20-foot <br />wide urban section street. Estimated cost savings would be $3,200. <br />The Engineer proposed that under either scenario there be no parking on <br />the street in order to ensure adequate emergency vehicle access. The <br />Engineer stated that the City's cul-de-sac standard is 90 feet across, but <br />given that this cul-de-sac would serve a maximum of two lots, it is <br />proposed at 50 feet across. <br />The Engineer reviewed project financing, construction issues, proposed <br />project schedule, and preliminary assessment roll as outlined in his report. <br />Keis asked if utility stubs would be provided for the potential additional <br />lot. The Engineer replied that those stubs would be provided at the time of <br />street improvement so that the street would not have to be dug up in the <br />future. <br />Blesener asked if the City could justify assessing the railroad if a road less <br />than 24-foot urban standard were constructed. The City Engineer felC the <br />assessment would be more difficult to justify given anything less would be <br />
