a • • • Planning & Zoning Board November 12, 1998 Page 3 beneficial to time the reconstruction of 62nd Street after the subdivision is constructed to help eliminate construction traffic on a new roadway. If the project is approved, the 62nd Street reconstruction project would be initiated immediately. The City Council does, however, make all final decisions regarding reconstruction projects. Mr. Corson expressed concern regarding citizen assessment for the reconstruction project. Mr. Powell indicated that residents on Ware Road were proposed to be assessed $2,000 per lot. Mr. Corson asked if 62nd Street would become an 80 foot r row to include a trail. Mr. Powell said we could consider an 80' row, both urban and rural sections. We would not absolutely have curb and gutter. RCWD has adopted rules on infiltration that would support rural sections. We definitely need an upgrade and widening with a trail section. Mr. Corson stated that the plat appears to be 60' east of this development. Would we need additional row. Mr. Powell indicated that a portion of the row is not technically in the plat, we could work within the existing row. Mr. Corson suggested that we may want to get the additional row dedication at this time. Mr. Corson questioned the use of infiltration on this plat. Mr. Powell felt that a combination of infiltration and standard storm sewer would work. Ware Road incorporated similar features. Mr. Trehus asked if the Ware Road project included sewer and water at $2000 per lot or was that assessment just for the roadway. Mr. Powell indicated that the $2000 was just for the roadway. If property owners are interested in connection to sewer and water there would be an additional assessment. Regarding 62nd Street, Mr. Powell indicated that the city would evaluate the need for sewer and water and most likely install them along with any reconstruction work. Mr. Trehus asked about using the allocation of State Aid funds and if the City has enough to cover these costs. Mr. Powell stated the City does have a balance of State Aid funds now. The City receives an annual allotment. In 1999, $350,000 will be received. By 2000, $700,000 will be available. Generally, road improvement costs can be estimated at one million dollars per mile. The Feasibility Report will give a detailed analysis of the costs. Mr. Trehus asked how much is currently in the City's State Aid fund. Mr. Powell stated the City may possibly dip to a negative balance after the final payment is made for Ware Road. Mr. Trehus asked how much will be in the fund after the final payment of Ware Road and when the 1999 allotment is received. Mr. Powell indicated approximately $300,000 will be in the State Aid fund.
