<br />City Council Work Session Meeting <br />Deccmber 19, 2005 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />. regarding the following options that were outlincd in the feasibility report. The following is a <br />summary of the design issues discusscd in the feasibility report: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />A. Ridgewood Court Option-City Engineer Greg Brown recommcnds that no street <br />improvcments be made to Ridgewood Court at this timc. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holdcn asked if Ridgewood Court would have to be rcconstructed prior to the <br />25 year expectcd life expectancy of the street projcct. <br /> <br />City Engineer Greg Brown reported that Ridgewood Court has a PCl rating of 100. It was <br />ovcrlayed six years ago and should not have to be reconstructed for 25 to 30 years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if thc Ridgewood Court residents would be assessed for the <br />improvcments even though there will not be any work done on their street. <br /> <br />City Engineer Brown said that all residents are proposed to be assessed for this project. <br /> <br />B. Streets Widths-City Engineer recommends 22 foot face to face of curb. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked why the City Engineer is proposing to decrease the size of the <br />streets. The City should be consistent in requiring that a street be 24 feet wide and not be <br />reduced to 22 feet as suggested in the plans. <br /> <br />City Enginccr Brown stated that the City is building a 24 feet wide street if you include the two <br />feet used for curbing. City staff is comfortable that the proposed dimensions will not impede the <br />snow plows or truck traffic. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson said that the City has a standard of 24 foot wide streets; we should <br />attempt to make the roads this size. <br /> <br />City Engineer Brown said that the following two streets are not scheduled to be 24 feet wide: <br /> <br />. Arden Place; <br />. Siems Court. <br /> <br />Members of the City Council were in agreement that the streets width should be 22 foot face to <br />face of the curb. <br /> <br />C. Siems COUJi Wall Option- <br /> <br />City Engineer Brown statcd that the City's objective is to lower the driveways and re-grade the <br />area to improve water drainage issues. The proposed project will include the reconstruction of a <br />few residential driveways and the removal of a few trees. City staff does not recommend <br />rebuilding the retaining wall at this time. <br />
