LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 15, 1983 -4- 5. 1983 STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM: .--Bohrer - there is significant patching in Friedrich Heights and Bordner Garner -, patch/repair is much more expensive than overlay / repairs, and future repair of ,these streets will be more costly than if the streets were repaired now with the Patch and Overlay Program. --Mazzara - does the City have a plan for the entire City to repair specific streets in certain years? Believes there are other streets within the City that are in worse condition than those proposed for repair such as 20th St., Legion, Layton - is there a plan for these streets. --Bohrer - all the streets have been looked at. State Aid Program covers 20th St., 30th St., Lower 33rd and Klondike, also Laverne Avenue and Upper 33rd. Have looked at the City and the most heavily traveled roads, if they met the criteria, have been put in the State Aid System. --Whittaker - many of the streets in the Old Village have not been considered due to reconstruction after the 201 Study. --Eder - noted that roads,in the four developments being discussed, were constructed 12-15 years ago--asked'Engineer if there; present condition is uncommon,. --Bohrer- problem is not uncommon - difficult to say in this case whether the streets were constructed too light or if the pavement was not made thicker> -over poor base material.- poor areas will break-up first. Restated Mn/DOT's service life plan. Based on this projection, these street conditions are not uncommon. --Morgan - asked about using a new process whereby the old surface is removed and reused. --Bohrer - would not work in these areas because the surfaces are no good. Cost of repair work may not increase within the next few years, but, more of the area will break tip and increase the patching costs. Also noted, that in the past the seal coat program was based on need rather than the street rotation program. —Dunn - streets not -bad enough to do anything this year, based on the opposition of the residents," these are not collector streets. MIS/., Dunn/Morgan to delay action on the Street Rehabilitation Program with the provision that this issue be reviewed next year. Discussion: --Bohrer - explained Unit Rate w/o Seal w/patching.in Kendridge Add. O:aly work, other than overlay or seal, was filling up gravel on low shoulders and constructing one bituminous spillway. if just going to sealcoat,would proposed City crew handle these two items. Then just the cost of the sealcoat could be contracted out - --Morgan - if this motion. -is defeated; would recommend the Patch and Sealcoat,Program-,for Kendridge'Additions and Tablyn, and leave Bordner Garner and Friedrich Heights until residents petition a project. --Eder - something needs to be done withFriedrich -Heights. --Mazzara - Friedrich heights needs considerable work. Would favor the Patch and Overlay Program for this area. Agrees with Morgan's sealcoat recommendation for Kendridge and Tablyn Park. --Fraser - feel Friedrich Heights and Bordner are worse than the other two and need to be reconstructed. Believe if the work in Tablyn Park and Kendridge is not done now the costs will be greater later - cannot see setting up this situation for the residents. Would favor going ahead with the Patch and Overlay Program in all four areas.
