Gappa Tilk Director of Public Services Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: Public Smices Director’s Report Item Description: Public Hearing for North Arm Lane Paving Project- Resolution We have received a petition from three residents on North Arm Drive requesting that an assessment paving project be completed for this street which is currently a gravel surface. There are seven residences that have access from North Arm Lane. The City Engineer has completed a Feasibility Study for this project and the estimated project costs are $31,835 which results in an assessment of $4,550 per property. The annual cost at 6.5^b interest over a 10-year time period is approximately $650 per year. Since receiving the petition, we have sent a letter to all seven of the property owners with the proposed project costs and assessments based on a 5-year time period, four of the seven ow ners are interested in the project. Another owner may be interested in this project, but thought the annual costs were too high. We have talked to several other owners and are they are agreeable to a 1 0-year assessment time period to reduce the annual costs. The annual cost at 6.5% interest over a 10-year time period is approximately $650 per year. One of the elderly residents was not interested in the project, but this person may be eligible for the Senior Citizen Deferment. No comments have been received from the seventh property owner who lives out of state. The residents in favor of paving this street are very' interested in attempting to move forward on this project. Several of these residents have a lot of gravel and dirt from the road washing into their yard and driveway which is not a desirable situation. At the July 22"^ meeting, the Council accepted the Feasibility Study and scheduled a Public Hearing to be held at the August 12"* Council meeting. A Public Hearing Notice was sent to all of the property owners, and a Legal Notice of this hearing was published for two consecutive weeks in the Laker/Pioneer Newspaper. I’hc Council needs to conduct the hearing to obtain resident input on this project. If a favorable response is received from the neighborhood residents, the next step in process would be for the Council to adopt the resolution e rdering preparation of plans and specifications for this project.
