City of Centerville 2009 Street and Utility Improvements Project Page 3 February 27, 2008 changed, the water main may be able to be directionally drilled and services tapped out of one access point in the center of the sac. This style of water main installation may allow the street to forego reconstruction. This could be changed to a Type A 1 improvement. Peltier Lake Drive (CSAH 14 to Centerville Road) - This area has a narrower right-of-way (50' vs. 60' or 66') and steeper boulevards necessitating the water main to be installed in the roadway. Additionally, we feel strongly about the need for the reconstruction of this roadway with a standard City section including curb and gutter due to its poor condition. We feel that this need for reconstruction is independent of the water main installation. We would not recommend changing the scope of work in this area. Peltier Lake Drive (Between Peltier Circle) - This area has a 60-foot right-of-way allowing the water main to be installed in the boulevard. However, we feel strongly about the need for the reconstruction of this roadway with a standard City section including curb and gutter due to its poor condition. We feel that this need for reconstruction is independent of the water main installation. We would not recommend changing the scope of work in this area. Peltier Lake Drive (Centerville Road to Mill Road excluding area between Peltier Circle) and Centerville Road (North of development break) - This area was previously included within the C 1 improvement type. These are small areas that require a full reconstruction with new curb and gutter due to their deteriorating condition. Water main already exists in these areas. For clarification purposes another Type B improvement category could be created for further distinction and more accurate costs. This could be then be classified as a B2 improvement. Q: Could the scope of our road improvements be reconsidered? Can we meet with the engineer to discuss our street's proposed improvements? A: We stand behind our recommendations with regard to the scope of work needed on streets not affected by water main work. As discussed above, the timing of some of the improvements could be reconsidered. The Council should consider authorizing meetings between engineering staff and residents on a per street basis in order to address outstanding concerns about specific street improvements. Q: Can the City hire another engineering firm to look at Bonestroo's recommendations? A: The City paid $10,000 to Braun Intertec to take soil borings and produce a signed engineering report complete with recommended street sections. Those recommendations align with Bonestroo's recommendations. Q: Why are some people allowed to wait until 20 12 to hook to City water while we are being forced to do so by 2010? A: City ordinance identifies two requirements for the City water system. 1. All residents must be connected by 2012. 2. Residents must connect within one year of water service being made available to them. The City could consider enforcing the 2012 connection year in order to maintain enforcement consistency throughout the City.
