Home My WebLink About8C - CAP 1997-2001 ",,' STAFF AGENDA REPORT AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: 8C GREG ILKKA, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 97-XX ORDERING PREP ARA TION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR MUSHTOWN ROAD, PIKE LAKE TRAIL, CSAH 42, STREET SEALCOA TING AND LAKE FRONT PARK INCREMENT IMPROVEMENTS JANUARY 21, 1997 SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this Agenda item is to initiate the process for local improvements set forth in the 1997 portion of the 1997-200 I Capital Improvement Program in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The first step in the process is for the Council to order preparation of a Feasibility Report on improvement projects. The Feasibility Report will address the upgrading of Mushtown Road from 1,000 feet south of Tower Street to the southeast for 2,700 feet to a point approximately 200 feet beyond Ridgewood Court; upgrading of Pike Lake Trail from CSAH 42 to the proposed north plat line in the plat of Knob Hill in Section 26, Township 115 north, Range 22 west; upgrading CSAH 42 from Ferndale Ave. to CSAH 21; Lakefront Park roads, trails, and parking lots; and sealcoating of bituminous paved streets throughout the City. BACKGROUND: Each of these projects is in the 1997 Capital Improvement Program. The Mushtown Road and Pike Lake Trail projects require special assessments and therefore require the City to follow the requirements of MS Chapter 429. These projects will be used as leverage to bond for the financing of the CSAH 42 and Lakefront park improvements, as well as for the sealcoating projects. If the Parks and Library Bond Referendum is approved, the Lakefront Park Improvements contemplated herein would be deleted. DISCUSSION: The City is required to assess a minimum of 20% of the cost of a public improvement project completed through the Chapter 429 process and financed through G.O. bonds. By combining Mushtown Road and Pike Lake Trail projects with the CSAH 42, Lakefront Park and street sealcoating projects, the City will meet the minimum assessment requirement and be able to bond for the other improvement projects. The City does not expect to be able to assess anyone for the improvements on the CSAH 42, Lakefront Park and street sealcoating projects because of statutory issues of special benefit. The Feasibility Report will determine the costs of the improvements and methods of 162@@l~e Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.
