Mounds View City Council August 23, 1999 • Regular Meeting Page 27 c. Sidewalks are generally installed on the City's major streets, which will connect several neighborhoods and community attractions in a logical pattern. e. Sanitary Sewer and Water Main replacement will be assessed at percent. f. Trunk sewer and water mains are usually designed to carry larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an immediate property area in order to serve additional properties beyond the area of their immediate placement. Therefore, 100 percent of the cost of trunk improvements will be assessed on a unit basis to all properties within a district deemed to be benefited from the trunk improvements. j. In projects involving new street construction, and mill and overlays, mailboxes will be grouped on gang posts in numbers logical to the spacing required. This practice will insure the proper placement of the mailboxes, reduce potential roadside hazards, and generally clean up the edge of the street. The cost of the new posts and installation will be added to the project. Residents of overlays and mill and overlays may request the new posts and installation, which will be added to the cost of the project. r r n d b the treets Policies Directo of Public Works Ulnch stated one of the items ecomme de y S Committee was to consider the existing design /width of the particular street section, the standard by which future projects would begin.

He stated the 50 percent assessment was the same for water and wastewater main replacement /improvement, and the reduction if this assessment would require an amendment to the ordinance that established the current percentage. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated staff had received estimates from construction companies for various pavement rehabilitation methods for the Council's consideration in determining the percentages of assessments. He provided a brief outline of the estimates, noting that they are based upon a street width of 28 feet, for average calculations, and the various strategies for rehabilitation • are recommended based upon the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). He explained if the PCI is higher, the required amount of the pavement repair and preparation would be less, thereby lowering the amount of the improvement. He stated that, in the event that rehabilitation is necessary, staff 27C:\ADM IN\M INUTES\CC\8-23-99. CC
