. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 8, 1998 TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director Y) SUBJECT: 1999 Street Improvement Feasibility Report Back~round The Arden Hills City Council, at its August 31, 1998 Council meeting, adopted Resolution #98- 56 authorizing the City Engineer to prepare a Feasibility Report for the 1999 Street Improvement Project. This project includes seal coating projects and the reconstruction of West Round Lake Road, Phase II. Phase II is the segment of Round Lake Road between the Indykiewicz property and the railroad tracks to the south. Council previously received the Feasibility Report for the reconstruction of Phase I, the north end of West Round Lake Road through the Indykiewicz property, including the West Round Lake RoadlHighway 96 intersection. 1992 West Round Lake Road Improvements . In early 1992, West Round Lake Road had deteriorated to the point where it was nearly impassable. Many complaints were received of damaged vehicles as a result of the road condition, and at least one property owner had his attorney write the City asking for "immediate action to alleviate this serious problem." At a Council meeting on February 101h, 1992, Councilmember Mahowald argued that any repairs to the roadway be short term in nature. In March of 1992, the City Council ordered a Feasibility Study for improving West Round Lake Road. The results of that study showed the potential need for a four lane roadway when the Gateway area was developed. However due to the uncertainty of when this development would occur and the high estimated costs of reconstruction, the City Engineer reconmlended the cold in-place recycling method of improvement as a temporary solution to the deteriorated road condition. A Public Hearing was held, and the Council agreed with the City Engineer's recommendation. There were no public comments. Council agreed to proceed with the proj ect. After recei ving the bids for the improvement, an Assessment Hearing was held, at which time the assessment rate of $11.00 per front foot was established. Again there were no public comments. .
