ORDER PUBLIC HEARINGS
1994 ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION
Proposed Action.
staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move that
Council accept the feasibility reports as ordered on March 3,
1994 and adopt Resolution 94-34, Resolution OrderinQ Public
Hearin9s on May 3, 1994.
Overview.
The city Council at its regular March 3 meeting received from
staff a request to undertake feasibility reports concerning
reconstruction of two alleys: 1) 300 Block between 12th/13th
Avenues North - Alley A; 2) 100 Block between 9th/10th Avenues
North - Alley B. These alleys have been identified in the past
as maintenance problems and have been listed in the 1994 ClP as
in need of upgrading. Council authorized staff to do the
studies.
In the interim, public information meetings have been held with
. the two neighborhoods in question to discuss all improvement
issues, estimated costs, and assessment policies. An open
discussion was held in both meetings and owners had mostly
positive comments about the proposals. Some residents made staff
aware of problems or features unique to their frontages that
could have an impact on construction.
primary Issues to Consider.
o Should the Council accept the feasibility reports?
staff feels it has prepared complete reports and recommends
their acceptance. Two individual reports are attached.
o Should the Council order public hearings?
Subsequent to the information meetings, staff feels the
publ ic is aware of the scope and cost of the proposed
projects and now is the time for formal public discussion.
Staff recommends that Council order public hearings for May
3, 1994.

CONCRETE ALLEY PAVING
12TH AVE Nf13TH AVE Nf4TH ST N/T.H. 7 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD
CITY PROJECT NO. 94-06
MARCH 30, 1994
Introduction
The 1994-98 Capital Improvement Plan (C.I.P.) includes an alley paving
project for each year of the five year plan. The 1994 plan identified
two alleys that staff determined was 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.F.
Backqround
The alley bounded by 12th Ave Nf13th Ave Nf4TH st N/T.H. 7 South
Frontage Road is presently considered an unimproved alley. It's
surface consists of a 1" - 1.5" 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 Desiqn
The proposed alley improvement project provides for the construction
of a concrete pavement surface 12 feet wide and six inches thick in
accordance with the City of Hopkins' improvement policy. A new alley
apron will also be constructed on 4th st N to better match existing
grades on this street. Driveway aprons will be paved between the new
alley surface and the paved driveways with similar material as 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 towards the middle of the alley instead of
towards adjacent properties. It is also proposed that the pavement
grades be established to direct the drainage to an existing storm
sewer system located on 4th Street North.
.
Feasibility Report: Project No. 94-06
Page 2
. Proposed Fundinq
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 a lineal footage basis. It has been further determined that the
maximum lineal footage assessemtn 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.
