Public Hearing and Levy of Special Assessments for City Improvement Project #08-34; Bituminous Paving of 151st and 152nd Avenues, and Fluorine Street

In June of 2008 a petition was received from twelve property owners within the project area requesting the paving of 151st Avenue, 152nd Avenue and Fluorine Street, under the City's dirt road elimination policy.  A feasibility study was prepared and presented to the neighborhood in September of 2008, which identified the scope of the proposed improvements and estimated costs.  Due to fact that several similar petitions were received in that same time period funding was not available for construction at that time.  It was decided to earmark funds under the dirt road elimination policy for construction in 2010.

The feasibility study was updated in November of 2009, to better reflect current construction costs, and an informational meeting was held with property owners in December of 2009 to reacquaint them with the contents of the study.  There were some concerns expressed by property owners at that time related to the draft feasibility study, with the most prominent issue being the extension of 152nd Avenue westward to connect with Helium Street.  The public hearing was held on December 8, 2009 and the City Council accepted the feasibility study as drafted, including the street connection and method of computing assessments (per the front footage).  Improvements to this roadway included:

• Regrading the roadway surface to better center it within the existing 66 foot right-of-way.
• Installing bituminous curb and storm sewer to improve drainage in the area, including treatment devices to improve water quality in the downstream receiving body.
• Paving a 28 foot wide road; consisting of four inches of class 5 granular base, two inches of bituminous base course, and 1.5 inches of bituminous wear course.

Following the close of the Public Hearing adopt the attached resolution which levies the special assessments for Improvement Project #08-34; Bituminous Paving of 151st and 152nd Avenues, and Fluorine Street.

The bituminous paving of 151st and 152nd Avenues, and Fluorine Street are financed via the City General Fund (through the dirt road elimination policy), Stormwater Utility Fund, Water Utility Fund, and special assessments to benefiting property owners. The funding breakdown is as follows:
