Howard R, Green Oompany <br /> <br />May 30, 2001 <br />File: 814700J-0030 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: 2001 OVERLAY IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />In the past, the City has undertaken bituminous overlay improvements in an effort to extend the <br />useful life of streets throughout the City. These projects have historically been assessed 100% <br />to the benefiting property owners. Once again, Phil Hals, Street Superintendent, has come up <br />with a list of recommendations for 2001 overlay projects. These streets are shown on the <br />attached exhibit and include the following: <br /> <br />· Streets within Pinewood Addition <br />· Victoda Lane (delayed from the 1999 Oveday Improvement project) <br />· Streets within Sunset Ridge Addition <br />· 197th/198th Avenues between Trunk Highway 169 and Tyler Street <br />· Gates Avenue/Freeport Avenue between Main Street and School Street <br />· Streets within the Meadowvale Road/Upland Avenue area located just north of TH 10 <br />· McChesney Industrial Park <br /> <br />Staff feels that all of these overlays, with the exception of Gates Avenue/Freeport Avenue, are <br />100% assessable to the abutting properties. Gates Avenue/Freeport Avenue is a major street <br />carrying traffic to the commercial areas on the west side of Highway 169 and therefore is likely <br />only partially assessable to the abutting properties. Attached is a resolution for the City <br />Council's consideration which would initiate the feasibility study for this project. Since this is a <br />City-initiated project, this resolution requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council to be adopted. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these issues, I will be in attendance at your June 4, 2001, <br />City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
