Motion carried. <br />Public Hearing on the Goodview Avenue Improvement Proiect <br />On October 21, 2019, Hugo City Council was presented with a Capital Improvement Plan <br />identifying and prioritizing roadway improvement projects. Upon approval of the Capital <br />Improvement Plan, City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the <br />Goodview Avenue Improvement Project. Staff had completed the feasibility study and City <br />Council had accepted the study at its January 6, 2020, meeting and called for a public hearing to <br />be held on February 3, 2020. <br />City Administrator Bryan Bear talked about a legal dispute between two owners of one of the <br />parcels being assessed. He explained there is a settlement agreement by court order to subdivide <br />the property, which is unusual since the City had not reviewed or approved the subdivision. The <br />City would require utilities to the property if it were subdivided. This could be done as a part of <br />the street project at an amount over $700,000 that would only be assessed to the properties that <br />benefit from it. As of this public hearing, the case had not been settled. <br />City Engineer Mark Erichson provided background on the project and explained the project <br />would include pavement reclamation, minor drainage improvements, and alternate sanitary sewer <br />and watermain extension. He reviewed the options to either match the existing pavement width <br />of 24 feet with a one -foot paved shoulder or widen it to 26 feet with a two foot wide paved <br />shoulder. State Aid dollars would allow the widening of the road, and there was public support <br />for it at the neighborhood meeting. He talked about the future trails map and utility maps <br />included in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan stating there was no development pressure to include <br />these in the project. Mark reviewed project costs and proposed funding explaining that most of <br />the road project would be paid with Capital Improvement Project funding or Mutual State Aid <br />funding. Less than 10% of the project cost would be assessed. The cost of the alternate utility <br />extension project would be 100% assessed to those benefiting at an estimated cost of $718,000. <br />Mark explained the assessment policy stating the process was governed by State Statute that <br />requires two formal public hearings. He provided the project schedule showing construction <br />beginning in May or June, 2020. Mark recommended holding the hearing and approving the <br />resolution ordering the project and authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications. <br />
