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