It is staffs opinion that the project should include parking on Spring Lake Road. It is almost certain that problems will arise for the current residents as well as future residents if parking is not allowed on the street. While it is true that the residents requested no parking, I think activities such as graduations, parties, and the winter season will require parking on the street. However, if the Council were to deviate from the current standard, to a design that would appease more residents, staff would recommend the design outlined in the earlier mentioned staff report. This would be option number three, from left to right. The last option on the far right represents the minimal project. This option would entail a Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) of the exiting asphalt, with an additional new bituminous surface. The street would be widened from 24 feet to 28 feet. The minimum recommended bituminous path would also be installed on Co. I from Pleasant View to Silver Lake Road and on Spring Lake • Road from Co. Ito Hillview Road. This option will not qualify for State Aid Funding. If chosen the City would only utilize Ramsey County Turn Back funds and assessments for the project. One option that does not appear in the table is to do nothing with the streets other than to perform further maintenance on the pavements. If this were the case, the Pavement Management Program could be eliminated. Staff would recommend purchasing a small paver(approximately $50,000), adding one more full time Streets employee (approximately $50,000) and additional funding approximately $30,000 to $40,000) for small overlays not only on these streets, but many others in the City. The repairs that will be required by not proceeding with timely reconstruction projects will exceed the existing resources available to the City at this time. As mentioned in the earlier staff report, funding methods ie, Assessment percentages, MSA, and Turnback funding is or will be another issue that could be addressed at the hearing. Should Council choose to lower the assessment percentage, staff would recommend an amount of not less than 30% of the current policy as alternative. Utilizing full MSA and Turnback funds to the maximum is still preferable. Staff has prepared an outline for the Public Hearing. The purpose of the outline is to provide as much information initially to the Council and residents, prior to addressing any questions and/or comments. S
