PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING: STREET SEALCOAT PROJECTS ANDALLEY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT A. Presentation of Information by Staff !) Sealcoat Project Mark Winson, the Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed Project ~9701 which is the sealcoating of streets in Zone 2 and Pierce Street, 46th to 47th Avenues. The policy for sealcoating is that it is done about every eight years. Previously it was done on a six year cycle but this timetable was re-evaluated. It was decided that a better patching job was possible if it were done in a smaller area. The only costs being assessed to the benefitting property owners are the costs of the actual construction which are estimated at $72,191.60. The Council previously adopted a policy whereby the engineering and administrative costs would be paid by the City. For this project they are estimated at $15,548.96. The formula for assessment with this project is that all property within the sealcoat project boundaries are subject to both a street and an avenue charge based on front footage. The street in front of the property is at the full rate street feet) and at a one third rate for their nearest side street (avenue feet). Mr. Winson noted that preparation for a sealcoat project is usually done July to September. It is anticipated this project will commence in August. 2. Alley Construction The Public Works Director advised that this alley is the alley east of Quincy Street to the existing paved alley and south of 40th Avenue. This is a unimproved alley.
