Hansen BY: 2009 ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT 0902 DATE: 2/26/0 DATE: Background The City Council accepted the feasibility report and ordered an Improvement Hearing for March 2°~ at their meeting of February 9, 2009. The Zone 4 project area is bounded by University Avenue on the west and Central Avenue on the east, 48`" Avenue on the south and extends to 53rd Avenue at the North Corporate Limit. Analysis/Conclusions: Distributed at the February 9, 2009 regular City Council meeting was the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work and estimated costs for reconstruction of the alley located between Jackson Street and Central Avenue from 49d' Avenue to 50`" Avenue. The report recommendations are summarized below: Reconstruction: The alley was originally constructed over 30 years ago. The current condition of the alley is poor, and with the recent redevelopment of the businesses along this segment of Central Avenue it is expected to increase the through trips, including heavier delivery and garbage trucks. Utilities: Water main replacement is proposed for the northerly 480' of the alley. This section has recorded 6 water main breaks. There have not been any breaks in the southerly end of the main. Staff is not anticipating any water services will need to be replaced. This is based on the age of homes and businesses (built after 1950). The type and size of water service is field verified during construction. Any water service other than % " or lay°ger copper is replaced. Inoperable stop boxes will be repaired/replaced. No sanitary or storm sewer work is proposed with this project. Screening: By City code, commercial/retail property is required to provide screening when adjacent to residential property. ~fhe existing screening is provided by a chain link fence with filler slats placed, in poor condition. A new fence is proposed to replace the chain link fence and provide the required screening.
