At the improvement hearing, interested persons may voice their opinion regarding the proposed project improvements and whether or not they are in the proposed assessment area. A reasonable estimate of the total amount to be assessed and the description of the methodology used to calculate individual assessment for affected parcels is contained within the feasibility report, a copy of which is available for review on the City's website. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, notices of the public hearing were published in the Pioneer Press on August 31, 2020 and September 7, 2020. A notice was also mailed to each property within the feasibility study area on August 28, 2020. Prior to opening the hearing, City staff will present general information regarding the scope of the recommended improvements, the overall cost and funding for the project, and assessments that apply for this project. The proposed improvements are generally summarized below and described in greater detail within the feasibility study report provided in Attachment B. Street Improvements: The following streets are proposed for reconstruction: Jerrold Avenue from New Brighton Road to 335 feet west of Prior Avenue; Glenpaul Avenue from New Brighton Road to Cleveland Avenue; and Prior Avenue from County Road D to 155-feet north of Jerrold Avenue. Reconstruction involves fully rebuilding the road base and surface and the addition of curb and gutter along the length of the street. The following streets are proposed to be reclaimed: Edgewater Avenue from New Brighton Road to west cul-de-sac, and Jerrold Avenue from 335 feet west of Prior Avenue to west cul-de-sac. Reclamation involves pulverizing the existing bituminous surface and recycling the material to be used as an aggregate base prior to installing a new bituminous surface. These street segments currently have concrete curb and gutter. The project includes spot repairs for damaged curb. The feasibility study also investigated potential street improvements along Lake Valentine Road from Snelling Avenue North (CSAH 76) to Mounds View High School and recommends these street improvements be rescheduled for the year 2028. The City's Public Works Department would complete routine surface repairs to address pavement condition issues along Lake Valentine Road during the interim period. Storm Drainage Improvements: Storm drainage improvements involve rehabilitation and expansion of the existing storm sewer system within the project area to improve surface drainage. Project design will include stormwater best management practices as required under Rule C of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Water System Improvements: Existing water main along Edgewood Avenue and the west portion of Jerrold Avenue is proposed to remain in-place. These segments of water main do not have a history of water main breaks based on City records. Water main along the east portion of Jerrold Avenue and the full length of Glenpaul Avenue is recommended to be replaced with the project, including gate valves, fittings, hydrants, water services and curb stops.
