<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />March 28, 2000 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Public Hearing. continued <br /> <br />Larson confirmed that Rice Creek Rd. is jointly owned by Anoka and Ramsey Counties. <br />In this case, Ramsey County decided against a sidewalk/trail system which explains why <br />the Anoka County portion has sidewalks and the Ramsey County portion does not. That <br />street reconstruction was not a City of New Brighton project. Olson explained that <br />according to assessment policies 25% of the street surfacing and concrete curb costs are <br />special assessed against benefitting properties. Funding sources involve municipal <br />improvement bonds which require 20% ofthe total project cost special assessed against <br />benefitting properties. Moore-Sykes confirmed that the New Brighton assessment policy <br />is consistent and commonplace with other municipalities. In final, Olson feels the project <br />is feasible, necessary and cost effective. <br /> <br />There were no other comments. <br /> <br />Motion by Hoffman, seconded by Moore-Sykes, to CLOSE THE HEARING. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Hearing was closed. <br /> <br />Moore-Sykes supports providing green space and creating a safer roadway, but after <br />hearing the comment expressed tonight, feels the narrowing should be further researched. <br />Hoffman agrees these issues should be explored before creation of future problems. <br />Gunderman also noted concern of the road narrowing. Olson added that final plans and <br />specification will come before Council on April 11, and this would be a perfect time to <br />make changes before final approval. <br /> <br />Motion by Hoffman, seconded by Moore-Sykes, to WAIVE THE READING AND <br />ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT AND <br />AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR <br />PROJECT 00-1, STREET RECONSTRUCTION, WITH AN UNDERSTANDING <br />THAT STAFF WILL FURTHER EVALUATE THE NARROWING OF 14TH ST. <br />FROM 44 FT. TO 38 FT. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Proper presented the feasibility report for the installation of the sanitary sewer and <br />watermain utilities for the new Main Street Village development west of sth Ave. between <br />Old Hwy 8 and Co. Rd. E-2. <br /> <br />The total estimated project cost is $117,800, and will be paid by John Ordway, the <br />developer of the project. The details ofthe development agreement have not been <br />finalized, but it is felt the engineering work should begin to allow time for the August <br />completion date. To accommodate this, staff recommends approval of the project, and <br />advertisement for bids contingent upon a cash payment from Ordway to cover engineering <br />costs. The bids for the construction will be brought before Council for approval in May <br />after the development agreement has been signed. Because there is insufficient time to <br />perform the work in-house, it is recommended the engineering portion be performed by a <br />consulting finn, Short, Elliott, Hendrickson (SEH). <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Project '00-01 <br />Street Reconstruction <br />Project <br />Report 00-075 <br />Resolution 00-022 <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Project 00-7 Main <br />Street Utilities <br />Report 00-076 <br />
