Analvsis of Issues
. Scope of Improvements
Pavements: Parking lot pavement surface deterioration and poor underlying soils
necessitate complete removal and reconstruction of parking lots 500 and 600. The
pavement condition of 10th and 11th Avenues is fair-poor. A full depth asphalt mill and
overlay is recommended. Concrete sidewalk and curb and gutter will be replaced
where in poor condition, impacted by underground utility work or due to parking/curbline
re-alignments.
Drainage: Underground storm sewer will be added to 10th Avenue and along the
parking lots to collect pavement runoff and runoff from roof downspouts.
. Landscaping: New trees are proposed along both avenues and the south edge of lot
500. Existing trees will predominantly remain in place.
Parking: Parking changes are proposed in order to meet the objectives of improving
pedestrian and vehicular safety. The number of parking stalls within lots 500 and 600
are reduced from 191 to 188. Parking along 10th and 11th Avenues is reduced from 81
to 56. Overall, parking is reduced from 360 to 332 stalls.
. Public Input
Four public meetings were held while developing the feasibility report. The meetings
were productive with business and property owners providing valuable input on all areas
covered by the report.
. Project costs and assessments
The total estimated project cost for 10th and 11 th Avenues and the parking lots is
$242,604.79 and 229,451.74, respectively. The corresponding proposed assessable
costs are $65,441.94 and $134,934.97, respectively. It is proposed that both the
parking lot and street work be assessed with owner paying 70% and city 30%. The
street assessment formula was based on an adjusted building square footage (SF).
. The resulting formula meant that properties with street frontage paid a higher
assessment rate than properties without street frontage - see preliminary assessment
roll on pages 21-24 of feasibility report.
