I- I I INTRODUCTION I The City of Centerville ordered this report to evaluate the feasibility of extending water main along Centerville Road and include streetscape improvements as part of the Design Team vision for downtown. Approximately 20 parcels that currently obtain water from private wells would have the option to connect to the City's water system. This would be considered Phase 1 of an overall plan for redeveloping the entire downtown area, encompassed by Westview Street on the north, Clearwater Road on the east, Heritage Street on the south and Centerville Lake on the west. This report includes cost estimates, timetables, assessments, and drawings of the proposed improvements. I I I Directly related to this proposed work is the Public Works property on the west side of Centerville Road, between Sorel Street and Heritage Street. The City has been wanting to upgrade Public Works, since the current facility is very old, worn out and inefficient. Several other sites have been considered, including a new addition to City Hall. Once the City decides on the future home for Public Works, the 1. I-acre site on Centerville Road will be sold and redeveloped as part of the Downtown scheme. I I This feasibility report addresses several issues the City faces as part of redeveloping the downtown area: I · Water main installation to provide system looping and service to properties · Streetscape amenities such as colored walk, paver bricks, benches and trees · Period lighting to complement the Design Team Vision · Anoka County requirements along CSAH 21 · Assessment amounts that equal the benefit to properties I I PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS I The project limits along Centerville Road, from the north end (Westview Street) to the south end (150' south of Heritage Street), have a total length of 1200 feet. It is proposed to extend the water main this entire distance, while streetscape features will only be constructed over 650 feet of the roadway (Main Street to Heritage). Figure 1 shows the overall location of the improvements within the City of Centerville. I ';:*~~~<'L~:i,.~,.':f,..~:,'_~:-t_~"'f'~,/~';,g..._,-<J;,:',~; --v(,J:":.
