AGENDA SECTION PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING COLUMBIA ITEM NO. -HEIGHTS- MEETING DATE FEBRUARY 4, 2019; 6:00 PM CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING: IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2019 CONCRETE ALLEY CONSTRUCTION, PROJECT 1906 DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / January 29, 2019 BY /DATE: BACKGROUND: The City Council accepted the Feasibility Report and ordered an Improvement Hearing for February 4, 2019 at their meeting of November 26, 2018. The following bituminous alleys are proposed to be reconstructed with concrete: Washington Street to Jefferson Street, 41St Avenue to 42nd Avenue, • Madison Street to Monroe Street, 40th Avenue to 41St Avenue, and • Madison Street to Monroe Street, 42nd Avenue to 43rd Avenue. Staff held an Informational Meeting on January 22, 2019 at City Hall from 6:00 to approximately 7:00 p.m. Copies of the Feasibility Report were available to the public at this meeting. ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS: Distributed at the November 26, 2018 regular City Council meeting was the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work and estimated costs for the alleys. • Proposed Construction The alleys will be 12' wide and constructed with concrete. Small areas of bituminous or concrete driveways and turf area adjacent to the alleys will be reconstructed to match the new alley grades. Because of grade differences, several properties have limited access to the alleys. In previous assessments (2015) Council reduced the assessments by 37.5% for limited access and 50% with restricted access. This reduction is not reflected in the financing and would increase the cost to infrastructure fund. Privately owned retaining walls along the alleys range from good to poor condition. Staff will work with property owners at these locations to determine if walls should be protected, removed, or replaced. • Utilities There are no city -owned utilities in these alleys. During design phase, staff will be evaluating the feasibility of adding storm sewer to improve drainage. • Financing: Concrete Alley Construction The estimated project costs are as follows: 1. Concrete alley construction 2. Utilities $465,740. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 Project funding is proposed as follows: • Assessments $227,130. • Infrastructure (Construction) $216,920. • Infrastructure Fund (Engineering and Admin) $ 21,690. The funding reflects a flat fee of 10% of the construction cost included in the above amounts for a portion of the Engineering and Administration costs. o Storm Sewer Fund * The costs and associated funding for utility work will be determined during the final design. • Active Past Assessments: Property owners on Jefferson Street had an assessment for mill and overlay construction in 2016 with term ending in 2027. All other property owners had assessments for full street reconstruction in either 2002 or 2003 with terms ending in 2017 or 2018. Resident sentiment at Informational meeting: Twelve residents attended the meeting. (Staff responses are shown in italics.) • Discussion concerning construction included whether options other than concrete were considered (concrete lasts longer and maintains shape (inverse crown) for storm water runoff), how driveways are matched (as needed, 3'to 5' of driveway is removed and replaced), parking on the streets during construction, slope of the alley apron at 40th Avenue, and tree removal (apron and tree will be reviewed during design). • Questions concerning assessments included payment procedures (payment options explained), how City proves benefit to properties in order to assess and how this fits into City Council's goal of affordability (City pays 55% of construction cost for residential properties supporting the City's goal #3 of affordability and #7 of strong infrastructure), and what is trade off in not doing alley at this time (these alley were chosen due to their high maintenance frequency). • Many of the residents in attendance felt the alleys needed to be done, but were concerned about the cost of the assessment. (the proposed assessments follow the alley assessing policy of the Council implemented in 1999 with 14 alleys reconstructed and in 2014 with 3 alleys reconstructed) The proposed assessments for residential properties, are shown below: Location Type of Rehabilitation Proposed Assessment Alley Concrete Construction $2,871.00 RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2019 -16, there being ample copies available for the public. Move to adopt Resolution 2019 -16, being a resolution ordering improvements and preparation of plans for 2019 Concrete Alley Construction, City Project 1906.
