Item 6.3. 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 January 28, 2005 File: 824180J-0030 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: 2005 STREET RECONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENT FEASIBILITY STUDY Dear Councilmembers: In September 2004, the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2005 Street Reconstruction Improvements. Attached is a copy of that feasibility study. In the feasibility study you will note that we held an informational meeting with the affected property owners on Thursday, January 20, 2005. A copy of the minutes from that meeting is included in the appendix of the feasibility study. Approximately 25 property owners attended the public information meeting. The main issues discussed were traffic cutting through on Tipton and Upland Avenues from Main Street to TH 10, the proposed closure of Seymour, Rush and Quinn Avenues at TH 10, and the location of sidewalks throughout the proposed unprovement. Financing of the proposed improvements is recommended to come from several different areas. The proposed sanitary sewer and water improvements are recommended to be paid for by the sanitary sewer and water enterprise funds. The Council previously passed a resolution requesting that MnDOT fund the closure of the three intersections at Seymour, Rush and Quinn Avenues with TH 10. Preliminary discussions were initiated with Cretex Companies relative to their contributing portion of the cost of the storm sewer system in the Upland and Tipton Avenue areas, since much of the their plant runoff flows through this system. Finally, the bulk of the street and storm drainage costs are proposed to be assessed at $6,000 per residential equivalent unit to the benefited property owners. This will generate approximately one-third of the total cost. The other two-thirds of the cost is proposed to be paid by the City. Phone: 763.635.1000 Fax:: 763.635.1090 www.cLe1k-river.mn.us
