Point Boulevard Street and Sanitary Sewer Improvements to be held on April 7, 2015. The
recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to adopt Resolution No. 2015-16, receiving the Feasibility Report and calling Hearing for the Eagle Point Boulevard Street and Sanitary Sewer Improvements.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Complaints regarding street condition and requests to address these problems have been received
from property owners along Eagle Point Boulevard over the past few years. In 2013, a petition
was received to pursue an improvement, however the City did not have sufficient bonding capacity to include the project in the CIP. In the fall of 2014, the City amended the 2015-2019 CIP, which created bonding capacity to
enable the City to pursue improvements to Eagle Point Boulevard in 2015. In January 2015, the
City received a petition to represent at least 35% of the properties to be benefitted by the improvements. A feasibility report was authorized by the City Council on January 20, 2015 in order to ready these improvements for 2015 construction. The feasibility report is needed to meet state statutory requirements if any portion of the project is to be assessed to benefitting
properties. The report identifies the necessary improvements, the estimated project costs, the
assessment methodology and preliminary assessment amounts to be levied against properties adjacent to and benefitting from the street and sanitary sewer improvements. The improvements consist of the following:
• Reconstruction of approximately 3,500 feet of commercial street, 40 feet wide from back of curb to back of curb.
• Placement of granular drainage subbase with draintile to address frost heaving actions from underlying soils.
• Extension of storm sewer and additional catch basins to improve surface drainage.
• Extension of sanitary sewer to provide service to the Inwood PUD development.
The total estimated project cost is $1,351,000. The street improvement portion is $1,243,000 and the sanitary sewer improvement portion is $108,000. The improvements would be 100% assessed against the benefitting properties consistent with the City’s Special Assessment Policy (all properties are commercial). Due to the irregular shaped lots along Eagle Point Boulevard, four separate assessment methodologies were analyzed in the report. On February 19, 2015 a
property owner meeting was held to review the proposed scope of improvements and to present the alternative assessment methodologies. The City Administrator led a discussion that resulted in a consensus to assess the abutting properties using the area method. The area method is therefore the assessment methodology recommended in the report. However, the final assessment methodology should be decided by the city council upon hearing from the property
owners at the public improvement hearing, tentatively scheduled for April 7th. Assessments for street improvements are levied over 10 years. The sanitary sewer improvements would be 100% assessed to the Inwood PUD development and would be secured to the City
