I I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS ,. MEMORANDUM I DATE: April 9, 1997 TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant.@ I SUBJECT: Tabled Special Assessments I Back~round At the March 31, 1997 Public Hearing related to Assessments for proposed 1997 Street Improvements, Council adopted an assessment roll for one hundred and twenty-seven (127) I parcels and tabled action on written objections for thirteen (13) parcels until the April 14, 1997 regular Council meeting. The parcels representing the tabled action divide into two distinct groups. One group is the eight (8) contiguous Norma Avenue cul-de-sac parcels south of the I Royal Lane intersection. The other group is five (5) non-contiguous parcels scheduled for reclamation and/or reconstruction improvements. Ie Issues 1. The Norma Avenue cul-de-sac group objections pertained to the need for bituminous I overlay maintenance. 2. The objections from the remaining group varied but generally pertained to the benefit I received from the improvement being less than the proposed assessment. I Norma Avenue Issue Discussion The City Administrator directed the City Engineer to re-evaluate the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of Norma Avenue from Dawn Circle south to the cui-de-sac. As a reference point, this I road section was last inspected on November 11, 1995 and resulted in a PCI of 66. This rating fit into a rating range (61 - 80) that suggested a bituminous overlay procedure consisting of rehabilitation in the form of a milling operation, followed by crack filling and the installation of a I 1-1/2 inch bituminous overlay. The street was reinspected on April 8, 1997 and resulted in a PCI re-rating of 59 (Attachment A). I The deterioration of the street from 1995 was somewhat predictable. However, with the rating approaching the upper limits of the reconstruction range (0 - 60), some additional procedures and I related costs may be required in the rehabilitation of this street. The inspection procedure consisted of two samples on Norma A venue. One sample was approx- i' imately at the midpoint between Dawn Circle and Royal Lane and resulted in a PCI rating of 47. I
