N o comments to sui7plement this report Comments attached Recommendation: To receive the attached?petition dated August, 2007, requesting the reconstruction of streets in the Innsbruck North area and order staff to prepare a feasibility study. Legislative History: The City Council adopted a Comprehensive Street Plan in 1982 creating a means by which to improve and maintain high quality streets and alleys within the City. The streets requested to be improved in the petition, along with several other streets, are programmed to be considered for reconstruction in 2010. Streets are typically reconstructed when they are 30 years old. Financial Impact: The financial impact to the City and residents will be part of the Feasibility Study. "Typically reconstruction projects are funded by general tax levy money and special assessments against benefiting properties. Explanation: The City received a petition from residents in the Innsbruck North area requesting the is reconstruction of streets in their neighborhood. The area lies north of Innsbruck Drive and west of Silver Lake Road. The streets named in the petition for reconstruction are; all of 13th Terrace NW, 27th Avenue NW between 14th Street NW and 13th Terrace NW, and 29th Avenue NW between Innsbruck Drive and 13th Terrace NW and are highlighted on the attached map. These streets were graded in 1979 and paved in 1980. They were seal coated in 1985 and again slurry sealed in 1996. The petition has signatures from residents representing 16 properties of which one property is not abutting a street petitioned to be improved. There are a total of 46 properties that would be affected in some way by the reconstruction. Please see the attached map showing location of the properties owners signing the petition. The letter accompanying the petition states the residents would like the streets to be resurfaced yet this year, however, City funds have not been budgeted for and are not available at this time, and also, there is not enough time left in this year's construction season to accommodate the notification and advertising required by sate law for a project of this kind. Staff agrees that these streets do need resurfacing and could be reconstructed in 2008. The Feasibility Study will show the need for the project, estimated project costs and funding, and a project schedule. Costs and Funding: Estimated project costs and funding sources will be included in the Feasibility Study. ,V Grant yffels, P.E. Director of Public Work Attachments: Letter, Petition, and Map
