Review Feasibility Study for the Improvement of Legion Avenue, Lampert Avenue, and 33rd Street and Laverne Avenue City Engineer Larry Bohrer reviewed the Feasibility Studies for the improvements of Legion Avenue, Lampert Avenue and 33rd Street and Laverne Avenue. 1. Lampert Avenue The plan improvement is patching and a bituminous overlay. There are 7 benefitting lots from the road on the west side and 5, possibly 6, benefitting on the east site. The corner lots were assessed last year for 33rd Street improvements. There could be a minimum of 11 lots that are assessable with a maximum of 12 lots (includes 2 corner lots, each considered 1/2 of a benefitting unit). Construction of a 2" overlay is estimated: Total Cost $10,470. Assessment Rate: $952 using 11 lots, $873 using 12 lots. The Council supported being consistent with past policy; therefore, supported the 1/2 unit charge for the two corner lots. For purpose of the Public Hearing, Bohrer will prepare assessment rates on the basis of 11full lots and 2 @ 1/2 unit charge for corner lots. 2. Legion Avenue within Eden Park Addition The plan includes one-half mile of road, which was patched last year, needs to have a 2" bituminous overlay to strengthen what is remaining. Considered for assessments are 10 lots minimum with a maximum of 12 lots depending on Council approval for 1/2 unit charge for corner lots. Total Estimate Cost for a 2" overlay is $24,900. Range of Assessments, 10 minimum lots and 12 maximum lots = $2,493 to $2,077. Range of Assessments, 1 1/2" overlay with no contingencies are $1,700 to $1,416. The Council asked the City Engineer to come to the Public Hearing with what he considered the best engineering proposal based on his expertise and defend his recommendation for a 2" overlay with 12 maximum assessable lots (consider 1/2 unit charge for two corner lots). Other options considered are a 1 1/2" overlay and extending payment period to 7 years or 10 years, rather than 5 years.
