“Move to adopt Resolution No. 2015-79, receiving the Feasibility Report
and calling Hearing for the 2016 Street, Drainage and Utility Improvements.”
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 2016 Street Improvements were identified in the City’s 5-Year Street Capital Improvement Program. The City is also responding to petitions for municipal water along Kelvin Avenue
North.
The feasibility report was authorized by the city council on August 4, 2015 in order to ready these improvements for 2016 construction. A feasibility report must be prepared 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, drainage and utility improvements. The improvements consist of the following:
• Reconstruction of Kirkwood Avenue North from 50th Street to the north cul-de-sac. The improvement includes a new bituminous surface along an existing gravel roadway. In 2011 the property owners petitioned the City to be scheduled within the Street CIP for a new paved roadway.
• Reconstruction of Kelvin Avenue North from Old TH5 to the north cul-de-sac. The report considers improvements to convert a portion of a private drive serving 8 residential properties to a public street. The converted street would become an extension of Kelvin Avenue North.
• Resurfacing the streets through a street reclaim within the Stonegate 1st Addition, including 9th Street North, Jasmine Avenue Place North, and Jasmine Avenue North from 10th Street to Julep Avenue North.
• Based upon receipt of a property owner petition, extension of 6-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch
diameter lateral and trunk watermain is considered along Kelvin Avenue North with service stubs to existing properties. Recommendation of associated watermain improvements is dependent upon support of the property owners to be 100% assessed. The total estimated project cost is $1,409,000. The street improvement portion is $1,195,000 and
the watermain improvement is $214,000. The improvements would be partially assessed against the benefitting properties consistent with the City’s Special Assessment Policy. Residential street improvements are typically assessed 30% of the total project costs while watermain improvements are assessed 100% to the benefitting properties. Kirkwood Avenue North property owners will be assessed 100% of the bituminous paving costs and 30% of the remaining base and
shouldering improvements, since the bituminous surface is a new improvment. The City’s general tax levy typically covers the bond payments for the remaining street improvements. The Water Enterprise Fund is used the cover the watermain oversize or trunk costs. A lateral benefit assessment would be levied against properties along the proposed trunk watermain on Kelvin

Avenue. Assessments for street improvements are levied over 10 years while assessments for
