Council Meeting Minutes April 26, 1994 Page 4 Public Hearin~. continued I Proper noted that 7th St. between 8th Ave. and Silver Lake Road is a Ramsey County Road. and a Municipal State Aid Street. Parking is restricted from the northside of 7th St. and residents noted their preference to continue this restriction and expressed the desire to maintain the 32 ft. width. The construction of 7th St. consist of removal of existing surfacing and bituminous curb, construction of a new surface, and sidewalk repairs as needed. The City has been televising the sanitary sewer mains for any potential problems. Ramsey County has identified 7th St. in the tumback plan and the City agrees with that recommendation. The County and the City will discuss this issue further. The total estimated project cost is $1,269,300. PGAC Utility costs include the installation of the raw and waste water pipelines from the PGAC to the intersection of 7th St. and 8th St. NW. Street costs include the reconstruction of the roadways and the installation of curb and gutter. Storm sewer costs include the construction of the new sewer and replacement of catch basins. The total project cost does not include sanitary sewer repair costs which may be required or sewer and water service stub which may be installed under the project. Project 94-4 is proposed to be paid from a combination of Army funds, City State Aids and special assessments. The Army will pay all costs relating to the PGAC pipelines. The Army's project cost will not reflect street restoration associated with the pipeline construction. However, the City is reconstructing the streets along the same route as the pipeline utilities of the project should not overlook the Army's responsibility to contribute the cost of street reconstruction to the City since the City will be doing the restoration for the Army. I MSA funds will pay a portion of the storm sewer construction and the City will pay the remainder through the Storm Water Utility Fund. According to policy, 25% of the street surfacing costs are special assessed, and 50% of the new curb costs are special assessed where bituminous curb already exists, and 100% of the new curb cost is special assessed on streets with no existing curbing. The special assessment portion of the street costs are special assessed against benefitting properties. Staff recommends the lots benefitting would be assessed on a per lot basis. There are 90 assessable lots in Project 94-4. Sixty-six lots with existing bituminous curb would be assessed at $1,094 per lot. Twenty-four lots on 23rd Ave. which have no curbing will be assessed at $1,536 per lot. Construction will begin in June 1994 with substantial completion in November 1994. The assessment hearing will be held in August 1995. Leonard Cromwell, Christ the King Lutheran Church, asked what ratio will be used to determine the church's assessment. Proper said the church and the school will be assessed according to their residential lot equivalency. Staff will discuss this issue with the church. I
