Page 2 of 3 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 assessments 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 4, 2021 and August 11, 2021. A notice was also mailed to each property within the draft assessment roll area on August 4, 2021. Prior to opening the hearing, the City’s engineering consultant TKDA, will present general information regarding the scope of the proposed 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 improvements: • Arden Oaks Drive between (between Snelling Avenue North and County Road E West) • Arden Oaks Court (from Arden Oaks Drive to the end of the Cul-de-sac) Considering the existing condition, deterioration factors, and geotechnical investigation, a full depth pavement reclamation is proposed for the streets. Full depth reclamation will provide a new structural aggregate base and disrupt the existing frost heaving that has breached the existing aggregate base and bituminous surface. This improvement will provide a new paving surface that should last 30 to 40 years (with future maintenance and mill and overlay improvements). Curb and Gutter: Existing curb and gutter will remain in place except for curb that is damaged, settled, or not draining properly. The existing curb will be inspected and marked for removal prior to construction. It is typical to see between 20% to 30% curb replacement for residential roadways of this age due to settlement or cracking. Utilities: It is recommended that all the manhole and catch basin rings be replaced as a part of the pavement rehabilitation project. It is typical to reset all manhole and catch basin grades to match the new grades of the roadway to improve drivability and drainage. In addition to the adjustment rings, outdated and damaged manhole and catch basin casting assemblies will be replaced with modern castings. Storm sewer manholes and catch basins and sanitary manholes will be adjusted with all new concrete rings. Sanitary sewer manholes will be recast with all new concrete rings and infiltration prevention products to limit inflow and infiltration into the sanitary system.
