Overview The City has an established Pavement Management Program to rate pavement condition and guide long-term infrastructure management. From the pavement ratings, the City has developed an annual street reconstruction plan as part of its 5 -year Capital Improvement Plan. The streets recommended for reconstruction in 2016 show significant surface distresses and failures in the asphalt. The estimated project cost is $15,662,000. Staff conducted a neighborhood meeting for the project on Thursday, July 31, 2014. Approximately 60 property owners attended this first meeting. Proposed project financing is through bonds issued under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, for local improvements. A portion of the total project cost will be assessed to the property owners abutting the identified streets. The engineering feasibility report is required under Chapter 429 prior to adopting a resolution ordering the improvement. Primary Issues to Consider Could some property owners oppose the proposed assessments for the street reconstruction project, and question the need for the proposed improvements? Yes, and City Staff has worked to address all questions and concerns from residents regarding the timing of and the need for the project. Supporting Information Attached are minutes from the July 31, 2014 Neighborhood Meeting, a summary of the comment cards received and a Project Location Map. Christopher J.

Approximately 60 residents attended the meeting held in the Lakeville City Hall Council Chambers to discuss the proposed improvements. The following Staff and WSB & Associates, Inc. representatives were in attendance: • Chris Petree, City of Lakeville, Public Works Director • Troy Grossman, City of Lakeville, Streets Superintendent • Matt Barnard, City of Lakeville, Engineering Technician • Monica Heil, City of Lakeville, Operations & Maintenance Engineer • Krista Anderson, WSB & Associates, Inc. The following is a summary from the Question and Answer portion of the presentation: Question #1 (Q1): What is the typical lot footage used to determine the average assessment costs? Answer #1 (Al): Assessments are not calculated on a front basis; The City Council has adopted an assessment policy based on single family units. A single family home will be assessed at one (1) unit and townhomes are assessed as one-half (1/2) unit. Q2: Will the assessments be increased by stormwater replacements? A2: Yes, stormwater replacements are considered a part of the street reconstruction; 60% of the of the projected street improvements costs not covered by the City's Utility Fund are paid for by the City's Street Improvement Fund with the remaining 40% of the cost specially assessed to the benefitting residents.

A3: Yes, generally all existing curb and gutter is replaced during street reconstruction. Q4: If a residents irrigation system is broken during construction, will it be replaced? A4: Yes, all irrigation systems, invisible fences, and landscaping will be restored in-kind when the street reconstruction is complete. Q5: Will the removed mailboxes be reinstalled after construction is finished? A5: Yes, as part of the restoration process, all mailboxes will be reinstalled by the contractor. Q6: If a house is on a corner lot, such as Ithica Circle and 199th Street, will the property owner be assessed twice — once during the reconstruction for 199th Street, and once during the future reconstruction of Ithica Circle? A6: No, assessments are generally determined by the driveway location. A resident will not be assessed twice for one property if improvements were made at separate times to two different streets. Q7: Will the boulevards be narrowed along the roadways during the reconstruction? A7: At this time, there is no anticipated change to the majority of roadway alignments, the boulevards will, generally, remain the same size. Q8: Because a portion of the driveways will need to be removed, will the City's Street Reconstruction Project's contractor replace the entire driveway? A8: It is the decision of the contractor as to whether or not they will replace that portion of the driveway on private property. The City cannot mandate that contractors choose to replace portions of driveways outside of the City's right-of-way. If you are considering replacing your driveway, it is recommended to wait until after the street reconstruction project. Q9: Will all curb and gutter be removed? A9: Generally, all curb and gutter is replaced. The condition of the curb and gutter, however, will be evaluated as part of the feasibility report. If 60% of the curb and gutter is found to be deficient, it is more cost effective to replace all the curb and gutter. Q10: Kenwood Way is a very narrow street; during construction where will residents park? A10: Because of the unique narrowness of Kenwood Way, the City will coordinate parking with these residents during construction. Q11: How will the residents with limited mobility get in and out of their homes during construction? Al l: The City will accommodate accessibility needs for residents needing vehicle access to their homes at all times. Q12: There have been drainage concerns on Jubilee Way; will these be addressed during the reconstruction? Al2: Yes, these concerns will be addressed as part of the street reconstruction project. We recommend homeowners with concerns or specific drainage problems fill out a comment card so we can try to incorporate their concerns into the design.

A13: For street lights to be added there must be interest from multiple residents along the street. An informal survey can be conducted to gage interest levels for the addition of street lights. If the results of that survey indicate there is widespread interest, a cost estimate to add streets lights will be obtained from the service provider in that area (D.E.A.). The cost of the street lights will be 100% assessed and as such, the impacted residents will again be surveyed to determine if there is still support to add streetlights once cost information is obtained. Q14: If a resident moves before the project, who is responsible for paying the assessment? A14: The homeowner at the time the assessment is levied will be the individual(s) responsible for the payment. However, knowing that your street is scheduled for reconstruction, it should be disclosed to any potential buyers that an assessment will be levied on the home. Q15: How far beyond the City's right-of-way will construction extend to replace utility services? A15: It is not anticipated that water and sanitary services will be replaced as a part of this project. At this time, it is anticipated that street and storm sewer work will occur within the right-of-way. Q16: How much of the driveway will be impacted by construction, and will the driveway grades change? A16: Typically, only the first 3 -to -5 feet of a driveway are disturbed with the curb and gutter improvements. However, if more extensive improvements are needed to correct grading/drainage issues, or to install additional storm sewer improvements, the maximum distance that would be to the City's right-of-way limits. Concrete driveways will generally be replaced to the first expansion joint, to protect aesthetics. Q17: Will the 2016 Street Reconstruction Project be coordinated with the CR 50/CR 60 roundabout construction? A17: Yes, this street reconstruction project was scheduled for 2016 in order to minimize disruptions associated with the roundabout project. Q18: Will the cul-de-sac at Java Trail remain the same size? Will the crown drainage remain the same? A18: Typically cul-de-sac dimensions are not changed. The street grade will be changed if drainage issues exist; it is a priority within the project to fix drainage issues along the roadways. Q19: Will sidewalks be added to Orchard Trail? A19: No, typically sidewalks are not added unless previously determined as part of the sidewalk and trail system by the City, or if special requests are received from residents along a proposed sidewalk extension route. Q20: What style of curb and gutter will be added to Orchard Trail? K:\02109-500\4dmin\MeetingWeighborhood Meeting\7.31.14 Neighborhood Meeting Mint-doex City of Lakeville 2016 Street Reconstruction Project Meeting Minutes July 31, 2014 Page 4 A20: Generally, in areas where no curb and gutter currently exist, barrier style curb will be installed. Barrier style curb allows for a different style of driveway apron that better maintains existing driveway grades. Q21: What changes will be made to Jaguar Avenue? A21: Last year a small improvement was made at the intersection with CR 50 to add a right - turn -lane. The City is currently evaluating additional options to improve safety, gaps, and access to neighborhood as part of an on-going study of the CSAH 50 corridor. Q22: Will the trail by the railroad tracks be modified north of Lake Marion? A22: The trail is very significant to many residents and there are no proposed changes at this time. Q23: Jasper Court is in very poor condition, why is it not being replaced this year? A23: The streets are selected based on the cost effectiveness of patching and minor repairs versus a large reconstruction. Jasper Court has been identified as needing improvements but it has not yet been identified for full reconstruction. The City will evaluate the street to see if minimal maintenance is a solution for the interim period. Q24: Will 199`x' Street and Jaguar Avenue shift? Is the road where it should be (centered in the right-of-way)? A24: Survey work is underway and the finding will determine if any road alignment changes are necessary. At this time, road alignments have not been determined. Q25: How will residents know if only storm and street will be replaced, or if water and sanitary will also be replaced? A25: This will be determined with the feasibility study completed this winter. A second open house for the project will be conducted after the completion of the report to discuss the findings of the study. Q26: Will storm sewer always be replaced? A26: Not necessarily. All utilities will be evaluated. Most often, storm structures and sewers are improved but not completely replaced. Q27: Will all pipes be inspected? A27: Yes, as part of the feasibility study, all sanitary sewer pipes will be televised to evaluate the condition. Water main leak detection tests will also be performed.
