RECONSTRUCTION OF GOODVIEW AVENUE MIMM OUIGLEY) The Hugo City Council is well aware of the poor condition of the Goodview Avenue, north of CR8. City staff has worked with developers, whose interest is in property immediately adjacent to Goodview Avenue. Mike Quigley appeared before the Council in 2002 requesting a concept plan review of the Bramstedt property, at which time the condition of Goodview Avenue was discussed. At its November 13, 2002 meeting, Council authorized staff to direct the soil borings of Goodview Avenue in cooperation with Mike Quigley to determine the soil structure makeup. A preliminary report from STS Consultants revealed that the base of the road contains approximately eight feet of peat. CD Director John Rask reviewed with Council a report outlining the project. Mr. Quigley was present to discuss with Council the proposed reconstruction of Goodview Avenue in cooperation with the City of Hugo, including the potential for a cost sharing agreement. City Engineer Dave Mitchell estimated the cost for repairs to Goodview Avenue at $3.4 million dollars. Mr. Quigley stated that by developing the Bramstedt property, soils could be used from the project reducing improvement costs to $1 million dollars, or a 50/50 cost sharing to the City of $500,000. The developer would also need Council approval to extend the MUSA to the east of Goodview Avenue to develop the Bramstedt property. Council discussed the proposal and stated that in light of the reduced cost for Goodview Avenue improvement, they would give further consideration to the request. Council member Granger stressed the need to have a City `hot to exceed cost" for Goodview Avenue when revisiting this matter. ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT W/1VINDOT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL (a).
