. . , Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 2-10-92 Page 2 TILLER (Cont'd) Engineer Terry Maurer explained the city recently :i1I1plemented a Pavement Management Program, which rates all streets in the City and, based on the rating, places the street into one of three ca~ries for :i1I1provement,; sealcoat, overlay = reconstruction. He advised the streets are reviewed every three years. Maurer explained the program indicates Tiller Lane is rated in extremely poor condition and warrants reconstruction. He stated the city has also adopted an assessment policy which outlines the methcxi of assessing various types of street and utility :i1I1provements. Maurer stated the Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study of the proposed Tiller Lane reconstruction :i1I1provement last year, and after review of the feasibility study, authorization was given to prepare detailed plans and specifications for the :i1I1provement. The Engineer explained the proposed :i1I1provement of Tiller Lane from Lexington Avenue to Hamline Avenue. He advised the sanitary sewer and watennain were investigated and found to be in gocxi condition; no major utility :i1I1provements 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 mcxiified and reflects additional costs for soil :i1I1provement. He explained the soil analysis for the project indicates the material underneath the street is directly responsible for the poor condition of the road; the soil contains organic material which holds water and is susceptible to frost. He stated the revision to the report proposes e=avation 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 condition to support the inproved road surface. The Engineer reviewed the estimated costs for the :i1I1provement: - street :i1I1provements - Min= storm Sewer adjustments - SUl:grade co=ections/drain tile $179,500.00 9,900.00 65,900.00 Total Estimated Project Cost $337,000.00 Engineer Maurer explained an additional 32 percent is included in the construction cost to cover items such as, mailed notices, preparation of plans and specifications, survey work 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 or standard residential street. He stated the "residential equivalent assessment rate" is defined as 50 percent of the cost of a typical residential street :i1I1provement. Maurer noted the minor storm sewer costs are assessed 100 percent to the benefitted property owners.
