REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />TO ITEM NUMBER <br />Ma or and Ci Council 6.2 <br />AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br />Work Session une 11, 2012 ustin Femrite, Ci En ~ eer <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By <br />King Avenue Park Lot Islands Cal Portner, Ci Administrator <br /> REVIEWED BY <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Review, discuss, and provide direction for improvements to King Avenue parking lot islands. <br />BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br />At the May 22, 2012, City Council meeting, direction was given to staff to price the cost of improving the <br />King Avenue parking lot islands to a hard surfaced material to eliminate weeds and maintenance. The <br />two types of hard surfacing options suggested were asphalt and concrete. The parking lot currently has <br />seven islands that were reviewed for potential modifications. The locations of the islands are highlighted <br />on the attached figure. <br />The city code requires parking lot islands to be landscaped. To be consistent with our application of the <br />city code, staff asked the contractor hired to construct the Main Street Parking Plaza to provide <br />additional pricing options. <br />Included are additional options from Peterson Companies that incorporate the planting of trees and <br />paver stones to complete the island surface treatment. The price includes excavating the existing rock <br />from the islands and installing the same pavers they will use on the project, which are the same style and <br />color of pavers that exist along Main Street and along the bank on the west side of the parking lot. They <br />also gave a price to furnish and install nine trees which would be included at the ends of the islands to <br />match the existing tress that were previously planted in two of the islands. <br />The prices for the different options are as follows: <br />Replace surface on 7 islands with concrete or bituminous (estimate) $6,000 <br />Staff notes this option in not consistent with Section 30-935 of the Elk River code which requires <br />parking lot islands to be landscaped. <br />Replace surface on 7 islands with pavers and mulch end caps (quote) $10,715 <br />This option is would require staff to plant nine trees in the end caps where no trees presently exist. Staff <br />would also be required to water the trees, as needed, to get them fully established. <br />Replace surface on 7 islands with pavers, trees and mulch end caps (quote) $14,665 <br />Staff would only be required to water the trees, as needed, to get them fully established. <br />POIIERE® B1< <br />C:\Users\jjohnson\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\1'emporary Internet Files\Content.0utlook\SFWAYSNS\King ~~~* <br />Ave Pkg Lot Staff Report.docx "~ <br />
