HomeMy WebLinkAbout6 - Ash Circle Feasibility Study AGENDA NUMBER: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: CENSUS '90 . 6 BRUCE LONEY, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER CONSIDER PETITION FROM ASH CIRCLE RESIDENTS FOR FEASIBILITY STUDY - RESOLUTION 90-01 JANUARY 16, 1990 A petition has been received by the City from residents on Ash Circle in the North Shore Oaks area for a Feasibility Report to be prepared on the installation of sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, and bituminous surfacing improvements. The purpose of this Agenda item is for the Council to review this request and determine whether to order the preparation of a Feasibility Report for this improvement. On October 16, 1989, a petition signed by six residents representing six lots on Ash Circle was presented to the Council for the improvements as mentioned above. These properties included on the petition are owner occupied with husband and wife ownership. This first petition did not have husband and wife signatures as needed for a valid petition to initiate Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, Local Improvements Special Assessment proceedings. The Council elected to forward the ~etition back to the residents for techn1cal corrections such as husband and wife signatures and requested that a new petition be signed. A new petition has been signed and is enclosed in the Agenda packet. This petition does have husband and wife signatures representing six lots requesting a Feasibility Report be prepared for improvements on Ash Circle. The assessable frontage of those six lots is estimated to be 651 feet versus the total frontage of the affected sixteen lots having an est1mated assessable frontage of 1,724 feet or 38% of frontage. For the 429 assessment 4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 DISCUSSION: proceedings to be initiated by a petition, the petition must be valid and have over 35% in frontage signing the petition. If the Council relies on the petition to initiate the Chapter 429 proceedings for improvement projects and if a valid petition exists, the Council needs only a simple majority to ap~rove further ~roceedin9s. If the Council in1tiates proceed1ngs on 1ts own without a petition, an extraordinary majority or four-fifths of the Council is needed to approve future proceedings with this project. staff has reviewed the petition and feels an adequate petition has been received. Resolution #90-11 is enclosed which is for declaring the adequacy of ~etition and ordering preparation of a Feasib1lity Report. This resolution form is used when the proceedings are commenced by petition. The resolution should be published since the time for ap~eal from the Council's determination of suffic1ency of the petition does not commence until the publication is made. Any person aggrieved by the determination may appeal within 30 days after adoption and publication of the resolution. (M.S. 429.036). The notice of appeal is to be served to the City Manager who than notifies the district court of Scott County. The appeal shall be placed upon the calendar of the next general term commencing more than 30 days after the date of serving the notice and the filing of a $250 bond. Unless reversed upon the a~peal, the Council's determination that the pet1tion is sufficient is final and conclusive. Another issue with this proposed improvement is on the payment of the sewer and water lines through the North Shore Oaks Park. At the October 16, 1989 Council Meeting, Council concurred that the residents be advised that the park costs would be calculated as per policy and that this park would be considered a neighborhood park. Neighborhood parks do not participate in the assessment process unless its area is greater than 25% of the aggregate project area. The proposed eight inch sanitary sewer line will ultimately serve the 1st and 2nd Additions to North Shore Oaks, namely being 140th street and Hampton street residents as well as Ash Circle residents and part of the undeveloped parcels west of RECOMMENDATIONS: ALTERNATIVES: ACTION REQUIRED: Ferndale Avenue and north of CSAH 42. It is staff's opinion that the aggregate project area would be the area ultimately served by the 8" sewer line through the park. The park area would be less than 25% of the total aggregate area, thus the park land is not assessable. Staff has sized the service area based on the pipe's capacity and topography of the nearby land. A proration of costs for the lines going through the park according to the size of each area which could ultimately be served by the 8" sanitary sewer line can be done and would be included in a Feasibility Report. The improvements through the City's park is estimated to be $35,500.00. An official Feasibility Report could be pre~ared shortly as Staff has done the cost est1mate work for this area. Staff recommends that a Feasibility Report be prepared and presented to Council at a future meeting. Prior to this meeting, an informational meeting could be conducted with the property owners affected by this project to provide them with the Feasibility Report information. These owners could then attend the future Council meeting and voice their concerns either for or against the project. Since this project is being initiated by residents, their input would be helpful. The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve Resolution #90-01 declaring adequacy of petition and ordering preparation of the Feasibility Report for Project #89-12, ASH CIRCLE IMPROVEMENTS. 2. Table this item for a specific reason. 3. Deny approval of Resolution #90-01. Make a motion approving Resolution 90-01.
