PUBLIC HEARINGS A. 2011 Pavement Management Program — Public Hearing and Resolution 2010- 080: Ordering Public Improvement and Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the 2011 Pavement Management Program Civil Engineer Kristine Giga stated on November 15, 2010, the City Council received the feasibility report for the 2011 PMP Improvement Project and ordered the public hearing for December 13, 2010. Once the hearing is closed, the next step in the process is for the City Council to order the improvements and preparation of plans and specifications. The roadways to be included in the 2011 PMP Project include: Amble Road, Arden View Court, Arden View Drive, Colleen Court, Dellwood Street, Janet Court, Nursery Hill Court, Nursery Hill Lane, Wyncrest Court, Wyncrest Lane, and Wynridge Drive. Due to the existing conditions of the roadways, the proposed improvements include a bituminous reclamation to all streets. All of the roadways will be repaved to match the existing roadway widths. Existing curb and gutter will remain in place, with the exception of isolated areas that need repairs to replace damaged or sunken curb. The storm drainage system improvements are relatively minor and include maintenance on selected storm sewer manholes and catch basins. At the September 23, 2010, neighborhood meeting, residents adjacent to Karth Lake asked if improvements to the existing storm drainage system could be made in conjunction with the overall project that will help improve the quality of the water entering Karth Lake. During final design, the City will evaluate alternatives to the existing storm sewer system that would result in an improvement to the water quality in this area. The water system improvements include replacing water-main and gate valves within the roadway on Arden View Court and Arden View Drive, as well as removing and replacing selected gate valves and hydrants that are in poor condition. The sanitary sewer system improvements are relatively minor and include maintenance on selected manholes. However, within the Janet Court cul-de-sac, City Staff is proposing that a segment of the existing sanitary sewer pipe be removed and replaced to eliminate a sagging pipe. The estimated total project cost for the improvements is $1,703,700, which includes all overhead costs. The City's portion of the project costs are currently budgeted from the Public Improvement Revolving Fund and Utility Enterprise Funds. Two preliminary assessment rates have been established, one for single-family residences and one for multi-family/townhouse residences. Cost per unit is estimated at this time to be $3,489 for single-family homes and $699 for multi-family/townhouse units. Mayor Harpstead opened the public hearing at 7:36 p.m.
