Title
ORDER IMPROVEMENT AND ORDER PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE 93RD LANE INDUSTRIAL PARK AREA STREET IMPROVEMENTS, PHASE 2
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 12-19
Background
The public hearing was held at the City Council meeting on Thursday, May 2, 2013. The vote to order the improvements was postponed until the May 16, 2013 City Council because the required super majority (four-fifths) of all council members was not present to order the improvements as required by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 for a project initiated by Council.
The proposed project is the second phase of a multi-year project to partially reconstruct the streets and improve storm water runoff drainage in the industrial park area generally defined by 94th Lane on the north, Baltimore Street on the west, Radisson Road on the south and 93rd Lane Extension on the east. Proposed improvements for Phase 2 include asphalt pavement replacement, gravel shouldering, storm drainage improvements, culvert replacements and cleaning, traffic control signage, and appurtenant construction for Baltimore Street from approximately 410 feet north of 93rd Lane to 91st Avenue, 92nd Lane from Baltimore Street to Davenport Street, 92nd Avenue from Baltimore Street to the cul-de-sac and 91st Avenue from Baltimore Street to Isanti Street. The estimated cost is $976,860 with $402,658 proposed to be assessed amongst benefitting properties over a ten-year period. The remaining portion of $574,202 is proposed to be paid from the City's Pavement Management Program funds. The project is necessary, cost-effective and feasible and will result in a benefit for the properties proposed to be assessed.
