Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: June 23, 2015 Item No: 4 Item Description: Communication Items Projects update: • Victoria Street Reconstruction and Sidewalk Project: Construction is well underway. The stormwater pipe along the east/west portion of Victoria was installed last week. Other utility work is continuing. Curb and gutter should be installed within the next few weeks followed closely by the milling of the old pavement surface and the placement of the new pavement. Work is still scheduled to be complete by October of this year. • Pavement Maintenance Program follow-up: This project is also underway. Several of the street sections have been completed including Minnesota Ave/Lovell Ave west of Dale Street and Snelling Service Drive north of County Road C. Work on Roselawn is expected to start in early July with the replacement of the water main. Also, note that in response to some feedback from the Commission at last month's meeting, the enclosed Project Map now also includes the County projects that will occur this year as well. • Water Meter Replacement Program: Ferguson Waterworks is actively replacing water meters in the east portion of the City (east of Snelling Ave). They are currently replacing about 30-40 meters a day and will ramp up to about 70 per day once fully operational. We have received a couple of comments from residents with some suggestions and concerns and we have made some changes to the website and clarified information to the Ferguson operators scheduling appointments as a result. All of the meters within the City of Roseville should be upgraded to the new radio -read meters by the end of this year. • Lift Station Replacements: The City is replacing one sanitary sewer lift station (pumping station) and rehabilitating one stormwater lift station this year. Both lift stations are being bid using a Best Value process. Proposals for the Wagner Sanitary Lift Station were received last week (June 17) and proposals for the St Croix Stormwater Lift Station will be opened on June 24. We anticipate awarding contracts for both of these projects in July. • Permeable Pavements: The Engineering department is working on proposing modifications to sections of City Code which address impervious and/or "building footprints and paved surfaces" which limits those areas to 30% in general on residential lots and 25% for lots in a Shoreland district. The use and availability of pervious paving systems has increased and is realizing wider acceptance. Combined with the City's Residential Stormwater Permit, we are now able to catalogue and require periodic inspections of these pervious pavement systems to ensure they have been maintained appropriately and are still pervious. While the use of the pervious pavement allows property owners to exceed the paved surface limitation by only counting a portion of that surface as impervious, if done properly and in conjunction with good soils, we have the added benefit of infiltration and reduction of stormwater runoff. City staff will bring forward recommended amendments to the Code to the PWET Commission this fall. Attached is a Planning File from a recent variance for a new home on Lake Owasso that
