Item No. 2C Meeting Date: May 3, 2004 Type of Business: WK WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Mounds View Manufactured Home Park Second Access Proposal Background: At the February 2, 2004 Work Session, Staff presented three funding options for installation of the second access for the Mounds View Manufactured Home Park. These options are listed below. The complete staff report from February is attached. Option No. 1 The City to pay the full estimated cost of $46,000 Staff does not recommend this option. There a clearly a benefit for the Mounds View Manufactured Home Community; they should, therefore, participate in the financing. Option No. 2 City to pay for the work within the City right-of-way and the Park to pay for the work associated with upgrading their driveway City $28,650 / Park $17,350 Staff recommends this option should the City Council wish to help facilitate a second access. This option best assigns cost fairly to the responsible parties. Option No. 3 The Park to pay the full estimated cost of $46,000 Staff does not recommend this option. It is Staff’s opinion that if this amount is to be assessed, the City could not demonstrate full benefit. Much of the proposed work would be performed on a City owned street, for which the City has jurisdiction. At the February 2, 2004 Work Session, City Council indicated that they would be agreeable to splitting the cost based on where the work was occurring (city right- of-way versus private property). As a result, Council selected Option No. 2 as the preferred option. The City would pay improvements on Belle Lane and Raymond Avenue; the Park would pay for those items associated with the second driveway access.
