; CIP Discussion 1118/2007 Page 2 2007 Seal coat: The seal coat project has been listed as a separate line item in the spreadsheet. These costs are not assessed to residents, and for easier tracking, staff separated the costs from the PMP costs. Based on the feasibility report findings, two additional neighborhoods have been added to the proposed seal coat project: the Chatham Avenue neighborhood, and the Harriet Avenue/Pine Tree Drive neighborhood. The estimated costs for the 2007 PMP are lower than staff originally anticipated, and balance the increase in costs for the seal coat project. Funding source: General Capital Fund. 2008 Proiects 2008 PMP Reconstruct: The proposed project for 2008 includes the neighborhood south of County Road E and east of Snelling Avenue. The streets include: Arden Place, Forest Lane, Skiles Lane, Glenarden Road, Glenarden Court, and North Snelling Avenue. Utility work will be incorporated into this project as needed. With' the continuing increase in stormwater requirements, it is anticipated that the stormwater costs will be the highest of the utility costs. Funding source: General Capital Fund, General Fund, Enterprise Funds (Watermain, Surface Water, Sanitary Sewer), Assessments. The City of Arden Hills has received a request from the City of Roseville regarding its next area for street reconstruction, the Asbury A venue/ Ridgewood Road neighborhood (Roseville's "Neighborhood 10"). City limits are midblock; some properties are even divided by the border. Roseville would like us to consider the option of extending their project up to Glenhill Road, which would include approximately 300 feet of Asbury Avenue and 400 feet of Ridgewood Road located within Arden Hills. Estimated costs for these segments are approximately $125,000, which includes some funding for storm sewer improvements that will be needed. While the estimated costs for the 2008 PMP exceed the $1 million guideline, 2007 and 2009 projects are estimated at less than $1 million, creating a balance over three years. Given the close proximity of this neighborhood to the proposed 2008 PMP, this would be another good candidate for combining projects in an effort to reduce construction costs by creating a more lucrative proj ect for contractors. 2009 Proiects 2009 PMP Reconstruct: Since streets previously proposed in 2009 were shifted to 2007, staff has shifted the previously proposed 2011 project to 2009. Past practice has been to alternate reconstruction and mill and overlay projects every year. Since staff is not recommending mill and overlays on streets with no curb and gutter, there are more streets to reconstruct than there are to mill and overlay in the City. Therefore, we are proposing reconstruction projects in smaller neighborhoods in the "off' years to continue raising the City-wide average PCL This change may affect the enterprise funds, as mill and overlay projects
