Item No. 11 Staff Report No.97-.2/(p/C Meeting Date: July 14, 1997 • Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Consider Resolution No. 5142, Authorizing a Feasibility Study for the Reconstruction of Spring Lake Road and County Road I. Date of Report: July 10, 1997 A neighborhood informational meeting for the proposed reconstruction of Spring Lake Road and County Road I, was held on June 24, 1997,to introduce the project and take comment from the residents possibly affected by the project. Approximately 80 residents were in attendance. Staff presented information received by the preliminary survey report. Included in the information was right of way issues, street width designs, sidewalk construction, water main installation, sanitary sewer main and lateral service replacement, and storm sewer construction. Staff received comments from the audience regarding all of these topics, and also received a petition to only resurface the street without widening it, or constructing a sidewalk(staff would not recommend merely resurfacing the existing roadway). The trail ways plan was presented and discussed with the • residents. At the time the trail ways committee developed the plan, it was anticipated that the trail ways/ sidewalks would be constructed on MSA streets, as they tend to divide the community into logical quadrants. The situation north of TH 10 is a little complicated as there could be three MSA streets within four blocks. Staff will present the sidewalk issue and other issues at the Council meeting, if necessary, and in greater detail at the August work session. Staff has copied the petition and attached it to this report for Council's review. The feasibility study will exam all aspects of the reconstruction, street widths, right of way concerns, sidewalk issues and residents concerns. It will evaluate these alternatives and explain concerns and or recommendations for construction. Staff did not present a predetermined street design to the residents. It was explained that several options are available and would be more readily defined once the feasibility study is completed. In accordance with the Charter and Municipal Code, adoption of this resolution is necessary for public improvements that are to be assessed. Staff has received a proposal from SEH to conduct the feasibility study for$35,000.00. This expense will be funded from the MSA account 499-4120-705. If Councilou - y questio or concerns regarding this report, please feel free to call me. /r'e� 4/ Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 5142 Authorizing a Feasibility Study for the Reconstruction of Spring Lake Road and County Road I. 110
