CR 96-101 Alley Reconstruction 6th/7th Ave SMay 30, 1996 J es Gessele Engineering Superintendent Continued Public Hearing Alley Reconstruction #10 - #100 Block 6th /7th Aves. South Project 96 -05 Council Report 96 -101 Proposed Action. Staff recommends the following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 96 -29, Resolution Ordering Improvement After Public Hearing - Alley Reconstruction, Proiect 96 -05, This action continues an assessable improvement project in the #10 -#100 block south of Mainstreet between 6th and 7th Avenues South. Plans and specifications will be developed for Council approval. Overview. Council at its March 6 meeting considered and accepted a feasibility report concerning the reconstruction of the above- referenced alley and ordered a public hearing for April 2. Council opened that hearing and continued it to April 16 to learn more of a proposed partial vacation of the valley. At the continued hearing on April 16 Council authorized staff to investigate vacation procedures as a means to reduce the scope of the alley project and thus lower overall costs. Subsequently, Council ordered a public hearing concerning a vacation before taking any further action on a reconstruction project. Primary Issues to Consider. O Vacation procedures O Hopkins Village proposal to reduce length of alley reconstruction O Project schedule O Staff recommendation Supporting Information. O Notice of continued hearing O Feasibility study and location map • Resolution 96 -29 Analysis. 0 Vacation procedures A vacation hearing notice has been published twice in the local newspaper. Notices have been mailed to all affected residents and owners within a 350 -foot radius of the site. Council will have conducted a public hearing in advance of action to order this alley project and will have in fact taken action to approve or deny a vacation ordinance for first reading. In tandem with the vacation hearing notices, staff also mailed a notice concerning the continued hearing on the alley reconstruction project. 0 Hopkins Village Apartments proposal A representative for the Hopkins Village apartments proposed at the last hearing session that the length of concrete alley reconstruction be shortened by as much as fifty feet near the end adjacent to the Village parking lot. This was offered by reason that the existing bituminous alley on the Village property would more closely match the parking lot and considerable assessments would be spared against the Village owners if construction adjacent to their property was curtailed. Staff's opinion is that it would be a mistake not to place a concrete surface in the last fifty feet of the alley leading to the parking lot. The last fifty feet of alley is strictly that and cannot be construed to be a part of the parking lot. This last short segment of alley is in disrepair and should be treated in the same manner as proposed for the other segments of deteriorated roadway. 0 Project schedule June 4 June 18 July 11 July 16 July 29 Conclude public hearing and order plans and specifications Accept plans and authorize bids Bid opening Award contract Begin construction August 30 Complete construction • • 0 Staff recommendation Staff recommends that Council order the improvement made and that plans and specifications be drawn up with the following conditions: 1. Reconstruct the alley as proposed in the feasibility study except for that portion adjacent to Lot 18 which is to be vacated. 2. Address property owners concerns adjacent to vacated valley over drainage issues as plans are drawn up. May 15, 1996 C I T Y O F H O P K I N S Dear Hopkins Resident /Property Owners: You are hereby notified of a continuation of a public hearing concerning the reconstruction of the alley in the #10 -#100 block between 6th /7th Avenues South. Council at its April 16 meeting discussed an alternate proposal to the scope of reconstruction by vacating a portion of the south segment of the alley. Council has ordered a public hearing to consider the alley vacation and a notice is enclosed in this mailing. That hearing is scheduled for June 4, 7:30 p.m., at City Hall. Immediately thereafter the hearing concerning alley reconstruction will be conducted. If you wish to convey any concerns or bring up issues relative to this alley vacation or reconstruction, you are urged to attend the June 4 Council session.

The 1996 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. Background The "t" alley bounded by Mainstreet/2nd Street South and 6th/7th Avenues South 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 may potholes over the years, thereby substantially increasing maintenance and other associated problems. Proposed Design 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 aprons located on 7th Avenue South and 6th Avenue South 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 in the current alley and in 7th Avenue South. Currently, the City of Hopkins is encroaching on private property in this alley with its garbage collection and snow - plowing operations (Addr: 53 7th Avenue South). It is intended to acquire an easement over a portion of this lot to allow for city vehicles to maneuver the alley corner safely. This same lot has drainage problems that can be resolved by making alley grade changes. Nevertheless, items for an extra catch basin and 8" PVC storm sewer are included in the preliminary cost estimate as an alternative. • The concrete paving will stop short of the parking lot and its driveway lane adjacent to the Hopkins Village Apartments. The fall in grade from the parking lot to the alley is more than adequate to accommodate proper drainage. Transition from concrete to bituminous will be provided. Proposed Funding • It is proposed that the concrete pavement portion of the project be assessed in accordance with city policy, 80% against abutting benefited 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 assessment for two residential corner lots and one over -sized 150 foot residential lot will be based on 75 lineal feet. A summary of the estimated costs and assessments are provided below. Project Costs Alley Contract Costs $41,311.00 Engineering 500.00 Total $41,811.00 80% share of Total Project Cost per assessment policy $33,448.80 Assessable lineal footage 1265 ft. Lineal Footage Assessment $26.44 Assessment Period 10 years Interest Rate 8.0% Recommendation This concrete alley paving project is technically feasible from an engineering standpoint and 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.
