Background
Notice for this hearing has been published and mailed. A public/business informational meeting was held February 6, 2013. Two sets of property owners were in attendance and three property owners called in with questions prior to the meeting. All questions were about the proposed assessments and how they were calculated. No concerns were raised about the project details.
The proposed improvements for this project include spot ditch grading/repair, storm sewer structures, asphalt surface, traffic control signage, striping, and appurtenant construction for 101st Avenue from Flanders Street to Naples Street. The estimated total cost of the project is $440,400, of which $140,049 is proposed to be assessed over a ten-year period. Replacement of existing hydrants and existing sanitary sewer castings/rings, estimated cost of $56,160, is proposed to be paid for by the City Public Utility Fund. The remaining portion of $244,191 is proposed to be paid from the City's Municipal State Aid Street funds and the City's Pavement Management Program funds. The project is necessary, cost-effective, feasible, and will result in a benefit for the properties proposed to be assessed.
