___ _____n_____ . Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 2-10-92 Page 2 TILLER (Cont'd) Engineer Terry Maurer explained the city recently . inplemented a Pavement Management Pro:Jram, which rates all streets in the city and, based on the rating, places the street into one of three categories for improvement,; sealcoat, overlay or reconstruction. He advised the streets are reviewed every three years. Maurer explained the pro:Jram indicates Tiller Ulne is rated in extremely poor =ndition and warrants reconstruction. He stated the city has also adopted an assessment policy which outlines the method of assessing various types of street and utility improvements. Maurer stated the Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study of the proposed Tiller Ulne reconstruction llnprovement last year, and after review of the feasibility study, authorization was given to prepare detailed plans and specifications for the improvement. The Engineer explained the proposed llnprovement of Tiller lane fram Lexington Avenue to Hamline Avenue. He advised the sanitary sewer and watennain were investigated and found to be in good =ndition; no major utility improvements are proposed. He noted some minor modifications to the storm drainage utilities are necessary and are proposed with the reconstruction of the street. Maurer advised the initial feasibility report has been modified and reflects additional =sts for soil improvement. He explained the soil analysis for the project indicates the material underneath the street is directly responsible for the poor =ndition of the road; the soil =ntains organic material which holds water and is susceptible to frost. He stated the revision to the report proposes . excavation of approximately one and one-half feet of material from the road, replace the soil with a granular material and install drain tile along the edges of the roadway, to keep the material dry and in =ndition to support the improved road surface. The Engineer revieWed the estimated =sts for the improvement: - street inprovements $179,500.00 - Minor storm Sewer adjustJnents 9,900.00 - SUb;Jrade co=ections/drain tile 65,900.00 Total Estimated Project Cost $337,000.00 Engineer Maurer explained an additional 32 percent is included in the construction cost to =ver items such asl mailed notices, preparation of plans and specifications, survey w=k and staking, and other miscellaneous items charged to the project. Maurer explained the assessment policy indicates that all residents will be assessed a fair share of the costs for a standard residential street, whether or not they reside on a County road, state Aid road = standard residential street. He stated the "residential equivalent assessment rate" is defined as 50 percent of the cost of a typical residential street improvement. Maurer noted the minor storm sewer costs are assessed 100 percent to the benefitted property owners. .
