FES O5 '91 03.21 T.K.D.A. & ASSOC. P.11 <br />LEGION AVENUE <br />20TH STREET TO LEGION LANE (N. JCT.) <br />LAKE ELMO, MiNNESOTA <br />Introduction <br />Legion Avenue was constructed about 1976 as part of the Eden Park development. it <br />was seal coated In 1984 and it was patched extensively In 1989, There are other areas <br />of "alligator" cracking but have not yet come loose. In one area there Is Insufficient <br />crown In the road and water does not drain off the surface, This project was proposed <br />in 1990, but it was decided to wait until construction within Packard park 3rd Addition <br />was complete. <br />Proposed Improvement <br />It is planned to overlay the street with a 1-1/2" thick bituminous overlay to strengthen <br />the entire surface and seal off the cracks. A 1.1/2" overlay was chosen Instead of a 2" <br />overlay because Legion Avenue has very little rutting compared to other streets and no <br />leveling is required. Gravel will be added to the shoulders and all driveways will be <br />matched. 11 <br />A Feasibility <br />The project is feasible and should best be made as proposed. <br />Initiation <br />This project was initiated by the City Council, therefore ordering the project will require a <br />four -fifths majority vote. <br />Assessments <br />The estimated project cost Is $21,050.00. It Is proposed that each parcel with benefits <br />from the improvement be assessed. Senefitting property is every parcel which abuts <br />the street or gains primary access from the street. Corner lots which were recently <br />assessed for street improvements on one side will receive a one-half assessment on <br />Legion Avenue. Lots that have double frontage, but are not corner lots, will be reviewed <br />Individually to see if the property benefits from the second frontage. In this particular <br />case, Lots $ and 4, Packard Park 2nd Addition, have secondary frontage on Legion <br />Avenue. But since the buildable part of these lots is approximately 30 feet higher than <br />the road, Lots $ and 4 are considered not benefltted. The method of assessment Is <br />proposed to be the Unit Method. The City owns one lot designated "Park" on the plat <br />and Is charged one unit. <br />-2- 9150-011 <br />
