Arden Hills Council 2 March 14, 1994 Strp-p-ts to be reconstructed Amble Drive from Lexington Avenue to Karth Lake Drive Bussard Court from Old Snelling Avenue to West End Dunlap Street from Ingerson Road to Cannon Avenue. Street to be recycled Keithson Drive from State Highway 96 to South End Winkel noted the composite ratings of these streets taken last fall. Winkel provided a brief overview of where the borings were taken from each street. He explained the description by definition of reconstruction and recycling. The estimated street reconstruction costs are proposed to be $368,300, and the recycling cost for Keithson Drive is estimated to cost $26,500. Winkel announced that this evening, estimated assessment amounts can be provided, however the actual assessment hearing on this matter is scheduled to take place in May 1994; at that hearing, the public will have an opportunity to specifically discuss matters relative to assessments. Winkel explained that the City's Assessment Policy calls for reconstruction and recycling work to be paid 50% by the City and 50% by the benefitting property owners, on a front footage basis. He explained the method of calculating assessments for corner lots or lots abutting other streets which have been improved and assessed. Winkel noted that in the past, the approximate costs for reconstruction is $30.00 per linear foot of frontage and $11.04 per linear foot of frontage for recycling. Winkel reviewed the schedule for the 1994 Pavement Maintenance Program, which called for 1) Opening Bids on AprilS, 2) Receive Bids/Order Assessment Hearing, April 11, 3) Hold Assessment Hearing and Award Contract on May 31, 4) Begin Construction in June 1994, and 5) Completion of the project in September 1994. Mayor Sather advised the public that if an individual property is assessed more than a $500 assessment, the assessment will be payable over a five year period with interest; if an individual property is assessed less than a $500 assessment, the assessment will be payable over a three year period with interest. He added that there would be no interest applied if the assessment was paid in full within thirty days of the assessment hearing.
