Mounds View City Council August 23, 1999 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 27 <br /> properties within a district deemed to be benefited from the trunk <br /> improvements. <br /> j. In projects involving new street construction, and mill and overlays, mailboxes <br /> will be grouped on gang posts in numbers logical to the spacing required. This <br /> practice will insure the proper placement of the mailboxes, reduce potential <br /> roadside hazards, and generally clean up the edge of the street. The cost of the <br /> new posts and installation will be added to the project. Residents of overlays <br /> and mill and overlays may request the new posts and installation, which will be <br /> added to the cost of the project. <br /> Director of Public Works Ulrich stated one of the items recommended by the Streets Policies <br /> Committee was to consider the existing design/width of the particular street section, the standard <br /> by which future projects would begin. He stated this change would require a resolution amending <br /> the resolution that earlier set the construction standards for all streets. He stated the total street <br /> reconstruction, including curb and gutters shall be assessed. He stated staff indicated some type of <br /> design on MSA streets, with all amenities in the street right-of-way to be paid for by MSA. He <br /> stated if the street is a collector, and requires drainage, MSA would like to have curb and gutter <br /> installed. He stated the pavement surface would be assessed, and the remainder of the cost would <br /> be paid by MSA. <br /> Director of Public Works Ulrich stated another recommendation was to lower the percentage <br /> assessed to the property owners from 50 percent to 20 — 25 percent. He stated the 50 percent <br /> assessment was the same for water and wastewater main replacement / improvement, and the <br /> reduction if this assessment would require an amendment to the ordinance that established the <br /> current percentage. <br /> Director of Public Works Ulrich stated staff had received estimates from construction companies for <br /> various pavement rehabilitation methods for the Council's consideration in determining the <br /> percentages of assessments. He provided a brief outline of the estimates, noting that they are based <br /> upon a street width of 28 feet, for average calculations, and the various strategies for rehabilitation <br /> are recommended based upon the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). He explained if the PCI is <br /> higher,the required amount of the pavement repair and preparation would be less, thereby lowering <br /> the amount of the improvement. He stated that, in the event that rehabilitation is necessary, staff <br /> would like to research undergrounding utilities. He stated this process could be assessed to the <br /> residents at a certain percentage. <br /> Director of Public Works Ulrich stated staff had also received an estimate for lining existing sanitary <br /> sewer mains within a project area. He stated this process would not correct any deficiencies or <br /> defects in the residential service. He stated the cost would be $36.00 per lineal foot, for the total <br /> width of the main. <br /> 27C:AADMIN\MINUTES\CC\8-23-99.CC <br />
