Overview.
The City Council at its regular February 21 meeting authorized
staff to undertake feasibility reports concerning the
reconstruction of two alleys:
1) liLli-shaped alley in the residential 10 Block north of
Mainstreet between 6th and 7th Avenues.
2 ) Alley in the commercial 100 Block south of 2nd Street
. N.E. between Monroe and Jackson.
The feasibility reports are completed and now submitted for
Council review and action.

. Unique neighborhood issues
The major issue to address in the residential alley is that
of right-of-way. city trucks in carrying out plowing
activities or trash collection literally trespass on private
property. Easements will need to be acquired.
The commercial alley is plagued with poor drainage. The
feasibility study finds remedy for this with a solution that
some property owners may deem an unfair windfall to one of
their neighbors.
. Public information
staff anticipates organizing public information meetings with
property owners the last week in April. Improvement issues,
estimated costs and assessment policies will be discussed.
. Staff recommendation
staff recommends that the feasibility studies be accepted and
public hearings ordered for May 16, 1995.

FEASIBILITY REPORT
CONCRETE ALLEY PAVING
CITY PROJECf NO. 95-02
. APRIL U, 1995
Introduction
The 1995-99 Capital Improvement Plan (C.lP.) includes an alley-paving project for each
year of the five-year plan. The 1995 plan identified two alleys that staff determined were
necessary to upgrade with concrete paving due to the high maintenance and drainage
problems associated with them. The City Council reviewed these proposed alley-paving
projects during their review of the C.I.P., and subsequently authorized staff to begin the
initial analysis of these projects upon their adoption of the C.I.P.
Bac~ound
The alley bounded by 1st Street North/7th Avenue North/6th Avenue North is presently
considered an unimproved alley. Its surface consists of a 1 to 1.5-inch asphalt layer that has
poor drainage characteristics. The combination of the thin asphalt layer and the poor
drainage patterns have resulted in this alley developing many potholes over the years,
thereby substantially increasing maintenance and other associated problems.
Pronosed Desi2D
. The proposed alley improvement project provides for the construction of a concrete
pavement surface 10 feet wide and 6 inches thick in accordance with the City of Hopkins'
improvement policy. The existing concrete alley aprons located on 1st Street North and on
6th Avenue North are in good condition and will not need to be replaced. Driveway aprons
will be paved between the new alley surface and the paved driveways with similar material
at the top surface of the driveway. Gravel will be placed in driveway openings in all
situations other than matching concrete or asphalt driveways. There will be no sod
restoration on this project. Black dirt and seed will be placed in all disturbed turf areas
along the alley.
The pavement will include a "V' design, slightly depressed in the middle, to channel water
toward the middle of the alley instead of toward adjacent properties. It is also proposed
that the pavement grades be established to direct the drainage to the existing storm sewer
systems located on 1st Street North and 6th Avenue North.
Currently, the City of Hopkins is encroaching on private property in this alley with its
garbage collection and snow-plowing operations (Addr: 6 and 10 - 6th Avenue). It is
intended to acquire an easement over a portion of these lots to allow for city vehicles to
maneuver the alley corner safely.

Proposed Fundine
It is proposed that the concrete pavement portion of the project be assessed in accordance
with city policy, 80% against abutting benefitted properties and 20% against the City of
Hopkins. It is further proposed that the City's share of the project be paid entirely from the
storm sewer utility fund in accordance with city policy.
It bas been determined that the fairest method to assess this project is on a lineal footage
basis. It has been further determined that the maximum lineal footage assessment will be
based on 75 lineal feet due to the odd shape of a few parcels. A maximum assessment was
chosen in this situation as a means to determine actual benefit of the project. A summary
of the estimated costs and assessments are provided below.
Project Costs
Contract Costs $26,600.00
Engineering 1.500.00
Total $28,100.00
. 80% share of Total Project Cost
per assessment policy $22,498.30
Assessable lineal footage 905 Ft.
lineal Footage Assessment $24.86
Assessment Period 10 Years
Interest Rate 8.0%
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council accept the project engineer's feasibility report as
outlined herein, and order the improvement made, subsequent to holding a public hearing.

FEASIBILITY REPORT
CONCRETE ALLEY PAVING
CITY PROJECT NO. 95-03
e APRIL U, 1995
Introduction
The 1995-99 Capital Improvement Plan (C.I.P.) includes an alley-paving project for each
year of the five-year plan. The 1995 plan identified two alleys that staff determined were
necessary to upgrade with concrete paving due to the high maintenance and drainage
problems associated with them. The City Council reviewed these proposed alley-paving
projects during their review of the C.I.P., and subsequently authorized staff to begin the
initial analysis of these projects upon their adoption of the C.I.P.
Backuound
The alley bounded by 1st Street North/2nd Street North/Jackson Avenue North/Monroe
Avenue North is presently considered an unimproved alley. Its surface consists of a 1 to 1.5-
inch asphalt layer that has poor drainage characteristics. The combination of the thin
asphalt layer and the poor drainage patterns have resulted in this alley developing many
potholes over the years, thereby substantially increasing maintenance and other associated
problems.
Proposed Desi2D
. The proposed alley improvement project provides for the construction of a concrete
pavement surface 12 feet wide and 6 inches thick in accordance with the City of Hopkins'
improvement policy. The existing concrete alley apron located at 2nd Street North is in
good condition and will not need to be replaced. A new alley apron will be constructed at
1st Street North. Driveway aprons will be paved between the new alley surface and the
paved driveways with similar material at the top surface of the driveway. There will be no
sod restoration on this project. Black dirt and seed will be placed in aU disturbed turf areas
along the alley.
The pavement will include a "V" design, slightly depressed in the middle, to channel water
toward the middle of the alley instead of toward adjacent properties. It is also proposed
that the pavement grades be established to direct the drainage to the existing storm sewer
system located on 2nd Street North.
An existing drainage problem in the rear parking lot of the Deli-Double, located adjacent
to the alley project, is proposed to be corrected as part of this alley reconstruction project.
Several alternatives for correcting the drainage problem at the Deli-Double were reviewed
during the preparation of this feasibility report and are listed as follows:

.
Alternative Descrintion
A Install storm sewer from the existing low area east to Jackson Avenue
through the in~place bituminous driveway entrance for Deli-Double.
Estimated Construction Cost = $9,200.00
B Install storm sewer from the existing low area to the alley, then south
along the alley, then east through the in-place parking lot for JMC to
Jackson Avenue.
Estimated Construction Cost = $18,000.00
C Install storm sewer from the existing low area to the alley, then north
along the alley to 2nd Street, then east to Jackson Avenue.
Estimated Construction Cost = N/A
Project costs were not determined for this alternative due to it being
. not feasible from a constructability standpoint.
D Reconstruct the existing parking lot at Deli-Double to provide positive
drainage to the alley.
Estimated Construction Cost = $7,100.00
The recommended alternative for correcting the existing drainage problem at the Deli-
Double is Alternative D. This alternative was chosen because it is the least cost alternative
for correcting the existing drainage problem.
Funding for correcting the drainage problem at the Deli-Double is proposed to come from
the storm water utility account and assessments.
Proposed Fundine
It is proposed that the concrete pavement portion of the project be assessed in accordance
with city policy, 80% against abutting benefitted properties and 20% against the City of
Hopkins. It is further proposed that the City's share of the project be paid entirely from the
storm sewer utility fund in accordance with city policy.
It has been determined that the fairest method to assess this project is on an actual lineal
. footage basis. A summary of the estimated costs and assessments are provided below.
