Page 2 of 3 Streets proposed for Mill & Overlay: • Briarknoll Circle • Briarknoll Drive from Snelling Avenue North to Norma Avenue • Royal Lane from Norma Avenue to Floral Drive West • McClung Drive from Snelling Avenue North to Colleen Avenue • Colleen Circle • Arden Vista Court In accordance with Council direction, a feasibility report has been prepared that details the existing infrastructure elements, the proposed improvements recommended, neighborhood impacts, estimated costs and financing for the proposed project. A copy of the Feasibility Report is attached (Attachment A). At the June 20, 2023 Work Session, City Council were presented and reviewed the preliminary findings of the feasibility study. The final version of the feasibility report is substantially the same, but includes notable increases in repairs related to stormwater improvements. Arden Hills Public Works had completed camera inspection of the existing storm sewer infrastructure and identified multiple areas under the roadway that require repairs including CIPP lining, pipe replacement, structure replacements, rings and casting replacement. These areas are called out within Appendix A of the Feasibility Report. Due to these issues being under the roadway, staff has determined they are essential repairs to include with the 2024 PMP. Therefore, the budget for stormwater improvements must be increased significantly over what was presented during the CIP item at the July work session. Also to note, additional project scope related to the trail improvements, the retaining wall repairs and wetland delineation has been included in the overall estimated cost within Table 2 of the Feasibility Report, please refer to Page 9. To include this scope in the final design, Bolton & Menk will be submitting an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement at a future Council meeting for an estimated cost of $23,000. Attached is Resolution 2023-038 which receives the feasibility report and orders the public hearing be held on August 14, 2023. City Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution in order to have this project proceed to a public hearing. If adopted, staff would mail notices to each property owner in the proposed assessment area stating the time of the hearing, the general nature of the improvements, the estimated project cost, the proposed assessment area, and an estimate of the assessment amount. Budget Impact Proposed project funding sources are a combination of the City’s Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) fund, utility funds, and special assessments for street improvements summarized in the following tables:
