TY OEW REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION STAFF REPORT AGENDA SESSION DATE June 5, 1995 Agenda Section: 7 Report Number: 95-1363WS Report Date: 5- 3 0- 9 5 DISPOSITION Item Description: Continued Discussion of Assessment Policy Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement s eets s necessary.) SUMMARY; This item is scheduled, to provide an opportunity to discuss the assessment policy again. If Council, staff or residents might want to discuss any part of the policy, or request any explanations or changes, this could be a time to address them. Staff has one possible change to the policy that was noted at the Public Hearing, that being the standard street width. I believe that Mr. McCarty mentioned, that possibly the street design should be eliminated from the policy, thereby reducing the major controversial item. Steve Campbell also agreed with this idea. Staff's major concern at this point is the adoption of the policy. It should be noted that since sealcoating will now be assessed, it is important to consider the time frame when and if the Assessment Policy is adopted. Sealcoating should be performed no later than the middle of August. The earlier this maintenance can be done, the better. If Council wishes to assess this year's project, notifications of a public hearing must be sent to affected residents, hearing scheduled, and etc. As we all know, this can be a lengthy process. Staff will seek council direction at the work session as to this matter. Another manner in which street design could be addressed is to hold informational meetings, when considering the reconstruction of a street. This practice proved successful in reconstructing Pleasantview Drive. The residents were given the minimum width standard, and asked to vote whether they wished to widen the street beyond the minimum. This could be used in future projects once a minimum standard width is adopted. Street width design can be addressed at a future date, and adopted with the standard plates for construction. Should Council have any questions or concerns that staff may address, or research prior to the meeting, please feel free to contact me. ichael Ulrich, Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION;
