Overview.
The City Council at its regular August 6, 1991 meeting ordered that a
feasibility report concerning Knollwood street improvements be
prepared.
In the interim, a public information meeting has been held with the
Knollwood Association and issues such as aesthetics, street widths,
utility repair, saving of trees, construction schedule, and edge
protection were discussed. The Council is at a point where it must
decide on accepting the feasibility report and ordering a public
hearing.
Primary Issues to Consider
o What are current conditions of the roadways and utilities?
o Should the Council accept the feasibility report?

Analysis.
What are current conditions of the roadways and utilities?
The streets were constructed approximately thirty years ago
without curb and gutter and over poor base materials. This type
of construction without edge protection has allowed surface water
to infiltrate into the base, weakening the base and causing
failure of the bituminous surface. Portions of the existing
storm sewer can be utilized while other are woefully inadequate
or in complete disrepair.
The existing sanitary . sewer system is approximately forty years
old. Based on the televised inspection conducted in December
1989 there appear to be numerous problems with the system:
cracked and offset joints, sagged and cracked pipes, roots in
joints and mineral deposits in the pipes.
The water main is of the same vintage as the sanitary sewer. The
pipe is quite probably cast iron with leaded joints. At a
minimum the system should be expanded to provide for complete
loops.
o Should the Council accept the feasibility report?
Staff finds the report to be complete and recommends its
acceptance. (See feasibility report for discussion of issues).
Should the Council order a public hearing?
The City is currently spending a disproportionate amount on road
repairs when compared to other cites. The streets in Knollwood
are at a point of diminishing returns in terms of patching and
overlay applications, and staff recommends ordering a public
hearing to expedite a spring 1992 improvement project. Staff
recommends a hearing date of December 3, 1991.
