<br />City of Centerville <br />City Council Work Session <br />May 21, 2008 <br /> <br />to do all the trails in the Compo Plan and thus some costs could come out of the 2009 Street <br />Project and instead allocated to the grant. Finance Director Meyer felt they could do any trail in <br />town as part of the Grant. Most of the trails in the grant application were south of Main Street. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired whether that is split out on these estimates. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that the number would be out of the Street Assessment <br />number; that is the number that would go down. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that the City fees would be reduced also. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that if you took out all sidewalks and trails, the street <br />assessment estimate would go down about 10%. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated that if we were to do trails with the Grant dollars, it would be beneficial to <br />do them with this project. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported that Circle Pines recently bid a $3.5 million project. When <br />bids were received, it came in at $2.2 million. He stated that they had more underground work <br />and did more piping than is in the 2009 Street Project. They had 6,000 feet of sewer. The water <br />main cost was $12-14 per foot. He added that we have not seen those prices in 10-15 years and <br />probably would not see those prices again. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that he had a master spreadsheet that shows the sidewalks and trails <br />would be 6.4% of the total cost ofthe project. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated that she is concerned that the plan will cause water to run off the road onto <br />private property. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied that there is a ditch on the east side and the houses are 5-10 feet <br />farther back there than on the West side. The ditch on the East side would narrow up and the <br />back side would be shallower. He stated that they would line the ditch with storm sewer and <br />would raise the ditch 1 to 1-1/2 feet. They would also put in drain tile. He added that right on <br />the right-of-way, they would put a storm sewer. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired about how much right of way the city owns. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied that we own the right-of-way and the easement is another 10 feet. <br />However, to people it would feel like they are in their front yard. He stated that he is <br />sympathetic to that, but the other side would be worse. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra requested seeing aerials of Mill Road. She inquired about drainage and whether it <br />would have to be treated. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied that they can treat it, but it does not have to be treated where it is not <br />practical to do so. He stated that the slopes are too steep in this particular area. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 14 <br />
