Title

DECLARE ADEQUACY OF PETITION AND ORDER PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR LEVER STREET NORTH OF 125TH AVENUE, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 16-10

 

Background

On February 29, 2016 and March 3, 2016, signatures were received on a petition for utility improvements in Lever Street north of 125th Avenue.  The petition is signed by owners of 75% of the frontage on Lever Street north of 125th Avenue. 

 

The exact improvements to be included in the proposed Lever Street project have not been identified and the distance north of 125th Avenue has not been specified by the property owners.  This information will be provided by those that signed the petition later this year.  A feasibility report will be prepared after the project is further defined by the property owners this fall for 2017 construction.  

 

If approved, this resolution accepts the petition and orders preparation of a feasibility report.  Property owners will have to define what improvements are being requested and how far they will be extended in Lever Street north of 125th Avenue before the feasibility report can be prepared.

 

Recommendation

By motion, approve the Resolution.
