AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Review Draft Feasibility Report – Arden Oaks Improvement Project <br /> <br />TKDA Project Manager Larry Poppler introduced his presentation for the Arden Oaks <br />neighborhood, which is near the intersection of Snelling and County Road E. He reviewed <br />existing conditions, proposed improvements, public input, project funding, project schedule, <br />recommendations and next steps. Options included pavement reclamation or mill and overlay. <br />There was a 70% questionnaire return rate from 42 properties with identified topics of interest <br />being localized drainage issues, pedestrian safety and truck access/cut through traffic. Estimated <br />costs were $583,000 for the Option 1 – full depth reclamation, with a per unit assessment of <br />$6,560 and $396,000 for Option 2 – mill and overlay with an assessment of $4,425 per unit. They <br />would like to have Council accept the feasibility report at the next City Council meeting, and have <br />the assessment hearing on August 23rd. Plans would be completed in January, followed by the <br />bidding and assessment processes, with construction in the spring of 2022. He recommended <br />Option 1. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant noted the mill and overlay is not really an option due to the deteriation of the <br />roadways.
