City of Centerville City Council Meeting Minutes September 11, 2019 development. Ms. Schlegel stated that storm sewer would involve replacement and the extension of services to those areas that currently do not have these services and new water main and services would be installed in all areas that currently do not have the services. She stated that the proposed roadway improvements would include full reconstruction with concrete curb and gutter with the width being 28 feet from curb to curb. She stated that some parking would be along Sorel Street. With Sorel Street where parking would be widened to 34’ wide to accommodate the parking. She stated that Centerville Road north of Main Street would remain 44’ wide. She noted that the standard width of a roadway in Centerville was 32’ wide and something smaller for the area was proposed due to the narrow right of ways and being mindful of the impacts on driveways and front yards. She also stated that same would have a benefit on minimizing the amount of runoff and need for storm sewers. Ms. Schlegel stated that the street improvement costs were estimated to be $1,585,940. She stated that she believes the City desired to fund the project with street funding rather than bonding at this time but if needed the option was available. The water main system cost approximately $494,053 funded with city water fund and CDBG Funds. The storm sewer total cost would be approximately $341,415 and they would be paid through the storm sewer fund. The estimated costs included 10% construction contingencies and 25% indirect costs. The estimated assessment amount (non-City) would be approximately $306,459. This project is scheduled to begin construction in the spring of 2020 and being completed in the spring of 2021 (final lift of asphalt). Administrator Statz explained the percentages and the terms of the assessment of all property involved. He stated that commercial property will be assessed at 50% of the total cost and the residential lots will be assessed at 20%. Administrator Statz explained that there will be several ways to pay for the assessment. He stated that the assessment costs are only for the street improvements not the water main or storm sewer. The City received a grant through Anoka County (CDBG) that will pay 100% of the cost to hook up to City water for those who income qualify. He stated that residents do not have to connect to municipal water at this time, but if the well on the property fails or you sell your home, you will need to connect. Mr. Dave Kilian, 1695 Sorel Street, questioned the purpose of the five (5) on street parking spaces on Sorel and who would it benefit? He also questioned whether the existing concrete curbs that were constructed by Anoka County in conjunction with the Centerville Road project would be removed? He also questioned the removal of the existing asphalt trail along Sorel Street and whether that was being proposed to be concrete? Administrator Statz stated that the five (5) parking spaces are due to the block 7 redevelopment. If the proposal were to fall through, those would be dropped. The proposed street alignment will be centered on the right-of-way. Mayor Paar stated that there will be unique situations and best for residents to meet with staff to discuss. Administrator Statz stated that the curb line would not be farther back than it currently is at Mr. Kilian’s property. Mr. Rick Busse, 1748 Heritage Street, questioned whether the watermain assessment/costs would be added to the project pricing. Administrator Statz stated that a water assessment amount is not included in the preliminary parcel assessment amount, only the roadway.
