It would be a 22' wide road with no turn around. A bid for $65,000 was Teceived for the 22', and $40,000 for the 18' wide road. The road would stop short oRaleigh Creek because of previous flooding. No permits would be required. 11 Financing would come partially from 3M ($7,000) the resints affected and the City. The two ways to receive funding are: 1) appraisalwrth makimum benefit at $2,500, or 2) residents pay the full cost of $8,300. The City would pay approximately $40,000. He recommended waiting to pave until spring007 when netiv bids could be taken. Reconstruction of the base and preparing it for pawing would require the City investing $32,000 now. Resident Jim Palacek, 2798 Jam ley Avenue North, stated that there were no easements on his property and he did notmant his property assessed. The City only started snow plowing his road three years�ago, and mairittauning it for the last two years. Resident Jim Petersen, 275:124=1 Avenue North, stated there were no residents to the east of Jamley Avvenue. The`Czty coin' d also save cost on paving by eliminating 200 feet west of 28`�' Street and Jamley`Ayenue. Currently, the construction equipment left up to the road; and it would be cost-effective to pave the road since work eight inch imprints oxi is currently being donesRp 21 Street. The City Engineer informed Mr. Palacek and Mr. Petersen that the Feasibility Report did not have an assessment for their properties. Council discussed the fact that since the project is not on the CIP, would it be removing or delaying another project, and would the owner's property value increase because of the paved road. Council questioned the cost savings of doing it now since the road is being tom up currently, and asked when the Kirkwood project was scheduled. The Finance Director stated the City does have a reserve on backup projects, but it would involve dipping into the City's cash flow. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19, 2006
