Analysis of Issues.
• Scope of Proposed Improvements
The proposed scope of improvements have been reduced based on a detailed
analysis of underlying soil strength. The pavement management program is
essentially based on an analysis of pavement surface defects. In most
instances, the surface defects are indicative of overall pavement section
strength. However, this is not always the case. Therefore, the feasibility
study includes a more thorough analysis of underlying soils and strengths. It
has been determined that Ashley Road and the eastern section of Preston
Lane (Interlachen Rd to Homedale Rd) can be expected to perform well with
a 2" asphalt overlay. Full reconstruction is still required on Holly Road and
Preston Lane from Interlachen Road to Ashley Road.
Reconstruction will include a prepared subgrade, new base course aggregate,
3" - 4.5" thick asphalt paving and pavement edge underdrams where lean clay
soils are present. Pavement edge strength will be enhanced by a thickened
asphalt edge and the underdrams.
In addition to the above pavement improvements, the project will include
repair of deficient sanitary sewer sections, replacement of a 4" water main
under Holly Road and storm sewer improvements (see pages 4 - 11 of
engineering report).
• Public Input
There have been two public information meetings and a questionnaire.
Minutes of the meeting and questionnaire results are shown in Appendix B of
the preliminary engineering report.
• Assessments -Project Costs
The City's assessment policy provides for abutting property owners to be
assessed for street reconstruction. The preliminary assessments are $50 -
$55lfront foot. This results in individual assessments ranging from $4,000 -
$6,000. A preliminary assessment roll showing footages and assessments by
property will be available at the City Council meeting.
The total estimated project cost is $498,900. A breakdown of proposed
funding is shown on page 13 of the attached prelim. engineering report.
• Project Budget
The current ClP budget for this project is $462,300.
