Subject:
Parking Lot 500 and 600 Reconstruction
For several years now the city's Capital Improvement Plan has included a year 2001
project to reconstruct lots 500 and 600. The Yr 2001-2005 CIP is currently being
developed and includes a proposed $350,000 project. Staff is proposing that the cost
of these improvements be special assessed to property owners at a rate of 70%. The
balance would be funded from City PIR funds. At the worksession, staff and
engineering consultant, RLK-Kuusisto, will present a project development plan
including the following items.
- Develop concept plan~ fOCQar_king lot l~youU1 oth Avenue fU[lction
- Meetings with property/business owners
- SelecUapprove concept plan
- Complete feasibility study
The feasibility report would include estimated assessments using an assessment
formula which could be based on: calculated need for parking spaces based on zoning
requirements, a proximity factor and credit for private parking. City Council could
decide whether or not to proceed beyond the feasibility report, Le., final design, based
on business owner support, costs and estimated assessments.
Staff would also like to discuss the need to master plan for certain elements of
downtown improvements such as lighting, landscaping, dumpster clustering, etc. Some
of these improvements overlap with interests currently being discussed by a CBO
commercial property owners committee.

Lots 500 and 600 are on or approaching a critical point on a deterioration curve. Seal coats
and crack sealing will not redeem them. Mill and overlay are a minimum improvement needed.
Project costs noted above are for total replacement of the bituminous pavement and curb installation.
To address downtown parking issues an analysis is recommended for 2000, a feasibility report
in 2000, and possible construction beyond what is here recommended in 2001.
