VII-2 MEMO To: From: Date: Re: Honorable Mayor and City Council Tom Montgomery March 31,2005 2005 Street & Utility Improvement Program The feasibility report on the proposed 2005 Street and Utility Improvements Program was given to Councilmembers at the March 21 st meeting. The public hearings for the two projects, 2005-1 Dakota Hills Area and 2005-2 Zweber Lane Area have been scheduled for the April41h Council meeting. The purpose of the public hearing is for Council to receive comment from affected property owners before deciding whether or not to proceed with construction of a project. Assessment issues are generally addressed at the assessment hearing following completion of the projects. 2005-1, DAKOTA HILLS AREA IMPROVEMENTS The proposed Dakota Hills Area improvement project is a City in Uiated project that will require the votes of six Council members to approve the project. . PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The proposed Dakota Hills Area improvements involve reconstructing Westview Dr. between 15th S1. and Southview Drive, and adjacent streets 16th S1. through 23rd S1. between Westview and Pleasant Drives, along with Valley Lane and Hilltop Lane. Tlus work would consist primarily of street reconstruction only; limited replacement of sanitary sewer, watermain or storm sewer utilities is proposed. The existing streets are rough, and many of them lack concrete curb and gutter. As a result, the existing street drainage is inadequate in many areas. ~ STREET RECONSTRUCTION - 16tl1 Street through 23rd Street are proposed to be reconstructed at 32 foot width which is their current width, which will entail narrowing 22nd and 23rd Streets which are currently 36 ft. wide. The remaining streets, 16th through 21 st Streets will remain unchanged at 32 ft. width. Westview Drive, Hilltop Lane, and VaUey Lane are proposed for to be reconstructed at 28 foot width. Parking on Westview Drive would be restricted to the west side of the street. No parking restrictions would be imposed for Hilltop and Valley Lanes, as they are dead end streets primarily used as access for residents. Sidewalks are proposed for construction on the entire length of the north side of 23 rd Street, and on the south side of 22"d Street between Westvievv Drive and Dakota Hills Park.
