<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />En . eerin Ma 15,2006 <br />Item Description <br />2006 Bituminous Overlay Improvement - Additional Areas <br /> <br />Item Number <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />At last Monday's City Council workshop, the Council discussed the potential of adding the <br />Naples Street/186th Avenue neighborhood to the 2006 Bituminous Overlay Project. In addition, <br />the Street Department (Phil Hals and Mark Thompson) have inquired about adding 191 % <br />Avenue west of Jackson Street to the project. This area is just north of Schoolview First <br />Addition, which is part of the proposed 2006 Bituminous Overlay. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Adding either or both of these areas to the 2006 Bituminous Overlay Improvement would not <br />have an adverse effect on the proposed assessment rate. The lots in these two areas are of a <br />similar size or smaller, than the areas covered in the original feasibility study. Therefore, the <br />additional cost would easily be covered by the addition of assessable units in these two areas. In <br />the Naples Street/186th avenue area the project would simply provide a bituminous mat on an <br />existing gravel road. The City Street Department would corne in and match in the driveways and <br />shoulder areas with additional gravel after the paving is complete. <br /> <br />If the City Council would like to add these two areas to the 2006 Bituminous Overlay <br />Improvement, this report will act as an amendment to the approved feasibility study for the <br />purposes of adding these two areas to the project. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />As with typical overlay projects, only the cost of the bituminous overlay is assessed. Any <br />preparatory work or repair work of gravel shoulders and/or gravel driveways after the bituminous <br />overlay is accomplished by the City's Street Department. This is the City contribution towards <br />the bituminous overlay project in an effort to keep the assessment to the benefited properties as <br />low as possible. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />.
