• <br />• <br />• <br />WS — Item 2 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 2 <br />Date: July 6, 2009 <br />To: City Council <br />From: James E. Studenski, City Engineer <br />Re: Pine Street Improvements - Petition to have the City of Lino Lakes <br />Research the cost of paving Pine Street. <br />Background <br />As directed by the City Council at the June Work Session a survey, was sent to 34 <br />property owners along Pine Street by certified mail. The survey explained the project <br />cost estimate, pending assessment amount and the overall project process including <br />public hearing and assessment details. The survey asked the property owner to vote YES <br />or NO in support of street paving improvements for the entire length of Pine Street from <br />Lake Drive to the western terminus resulting in an estimated assessment cost of <br />approximately $9,515. The City received back 27 of the 34 petitions with 14 voting YES <br />and 13 voting NO to the improvement project. <br />Attached is a map showing the results of the petition. From the surveys returned to the <br />city, 11 of the 12 submitted west of the intersection of 4th Avenue and Pine Street voted <br />NO and 13 of the 15 submitted east of the intersection of 4th Avenue and Pine Street <br />voted YES. <br />The following comments on the project were included with the returned surveys: <br />- Two comments and one phone call stated that the project should be <br />assessed by front footage rather than by property. <br />One comment and phone call stated that the costs of the assessments are <br />too high. <br />- One comment stated that the road should not be paved until all utilities are <br />installed along Pine Street. <br />- One phone call stated that the poor ditch drainage should be part of the <br />project. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />City Staff is requesting direction from the City Council on how to proceed with this <br />project. <br />1 <br />
