3 The street project will proceed independent of the proposed storm water discharge elimination program. The draft feasibility report for the 2003 Street Improvement Project will be submitted to the City the week of May 5th. Staff will review it and tentatively schedule it for discussion at the May 12th City Council Meeting. With the report nearing completion, Staff will be developing a proposed schedule for this project. The next step in the project will be to conduct a neighborhood meeting to present the draft report to the residents and solicit their input and comments. Other entities, such as the Watershed District, will also be consulted prior to finalizing the report and submitting it for approval. SILVER LAKE WOODS CONDOMINIUMS – DEDICATION OF PRIVATE STREETS On May 6, 2002 the issues of dedication of private streets was discussed at a City Council Work Session. The City Council seemed to somewhat agree on the proposed policy: however no action was taken. On July 11, 2002, Staff met with Cliff Ash and Mike Berke of the Silver Lake Woods Homeowners Association, outlining the requirements the City would be looking for in order to dedicate their streets to the City. The City received a proposed draft agreement for Public Dedication of Streets and Utilities, drafted by J. Patrick Brinkman of the law firm Felhaber, Larson, Fenlon, & Vogt dated, December 2, 2002. A copy was also forwarded into City’s legal counsel, Scott Riggs. A letter was sent to Cliff Ash and Mike Berke on April 21, 2003, informing them that the City’s engineering consultant is developing a feasibility report for upgrading the streets and storm water structures in the Silver Lake Woods Condominium Area and that a draft of this report is expected to be completed and submitted to the City by the first week in May. Staff also informed Mr. Ash and Mr. Berke that when the City receives the draft report, a copy will be forwarded to them for their review. Also, Staff offered to meet with the Homeowners Association to discuss any issues once the draft report is completed. Staff also reminded Mr. Ash and Mr. Berke that the last time this topic was discussed with the Council was at the Work Session on May 6, 2002, and suggested that this issue should be presented to City Council in the near future for discussion and actions. H2 STREET MAJOR MAINTENANCE PROJECT Construction of the County Road H2 Street Major Maintenance Project will be completed in mid to late summer of 2003. The remaining work includes: Power poles to be moved – There are several power poles that will need to be relocated on the north side of County Road H2 to allow for the installation of the bituminous pathway. Staff will be meeting with Xcel Energy to develop a schedule for relocating the poles. Staff will also be discussing the financial responsibility of relocating the poles with Xcel Energy. Xcel Energy contends that the written agreement they had with the County before the road was turned back to the City stated that Xcel Energy would be financially responsible for moving the poles only in the event of a roadway expansion – not the addition of a pathway. City legal counsel may be required to assist Staff on this issue. Infiltration basins to be constructed – As part of obtaining a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District, the plans were revised to include several small infiltration basins. These are small depressions at selected locations in the boulevard. In addition to these basins, the plan also includes two larger infiltration areas to be located under the pathway. The Watershed District wants to install two different infiltration systems: one that will be simply composed of perforated corrugated drain tile; the other is an infiltration device that looks like several corrugated pipes cut in half and placed over a layer of small stones with the “U” shape down to promote storm water
