REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION AGENDA : J ORIGINATING DEPT./DIV.: Reports & Recommendations public Works Director ITEM NO.. ITEM DESCRIPTION' . Bering of feasibility studies for ® paving Lydia from Snelling to Hamline -- P -80 -9; Storm Sewers in the Brooks- Transit area, ST-80-30; and paving of Brooks and Transit from Lexington to Victoria? P -80 -31 MEETING DATE: 9-8-80 DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL. G 1" // MGR, REVIEWED/ #AEG E Earlier this year the Council received a petition from the residents on Aroma Street between Lydia Avenue and Brenner Avenue to reconstruct this roadmix pavement, as well as to construct concrete curb and gutter, At the time the--petition was circulated we indicated to these people that it would probably be necessary to consider storm sewers for the area because none currently exist. The Council, therefore, ordered the feasibility studies for Aroma and the storm sewer system to serge the general area of Lydia between Snelling and Hamline. At the same time they ordered feasibility studies for reconstructing Lydia between Snelling Avenue and Haml.i.ne Avenue; inasmuch as this is an MSA road that would be considerably torn up due to the construction of storm sewers, i f they were ultimately approved. We have now been advised by our bond attorney that to avoid potential confusion in the future that the paving of Lydia should be given a separate project number and a separate feasibility report. Therefore, it is recommended that such a feasibility study now be authorized as, a separate report, f. In 1978, after the heavy rain, the City received a petition from several residents on Transit Avenue, just west of Victoria, request- ing the City consider s troam sewer facilities and potentially additional pond ing to serve their area and relieve their situation. At that time the Council authorized the Public works staff to review the situation, and determine if a improvement project would be practical. That has now been done and it is our opinion that a formal feasibility study should be done for this area, In addition, the City should consider at the same time the possibility of bringing ]gooks and Transit up to the MSA standards to a paving improvement, should the storm sewer projects become a reality. As in the case of Lydia Avenue , this paving project would carry a separate number and an individual f eas ib li t report. Recommended Council Action: Adoption of a resolution ordering the preparation of a feasibility report for project P-80-29, the paving of Lydia Avenue from Snelling Avenue to Hari ine Avenue Adoption of a resolution ordering the preparation of a fe asb.i lity report for the construction of storm drainage facilities to serve the area between Bennett Lake and county road B-2 bounded by Lexington Avenue, and victoria Avenue, identified as Project ST-80-30.. Adoption of a resolution ordering the preparation of a feasibility report for the paving of Transit Avenue from Victoria to Brooks and Droops avenue to Lexington identified as Project P- 80 -31.
