IL WiBilte: bonestroo com Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Orono POBox66 Crystal Bay MN 55323-0066 Re: Feasibility Report North Arm Lane File No. 139-02-000 Dear Mayor and Council: As directed by City staff we have reviewed the existing conditions on North Arm Lane in Orono. The roadway is located north of North Arm Drive in the northwe.st quarter of Section 6. North Arm Lane is a public dead end street. 14-feet wide and approximately 950 feet long .serving 7 properties. The southerly end of the roadway is paved from North Arm Drive to approximately 300 feet north, the remaining length is gravel. Several residents have expressed an interest in improving the roadway. Proposed improvements include paving the existing gravel surface to 14-feet in width. Work would include patching several potholes in the gravel road and reclaiming the existing bituminous surface at the south end. The roadway would be graded and paved with 2-inches of bituminous base and 1 Vi inches of bituminous wear course. Once the paving is completed 2-foot wide gravel shoulders would be installed to protect the edge of the bituminous road. The street improvements on North Arm Lane are feasible from an engineering standpoint. The project is necessary to provide a safer and more uniform driving surface. The capital cost as well as operation and maintenance costs have been considered in determining that the project is cost effective. The costs of these improvements are interrelated and should be assigned equitably to the adjoining property owners. The following recommendations are presented for consideration by the Orono City Council: I. That this Report be adopted as the guide for improvements to North Arm Lane. 2.That the City conduct a legal and fiscal review of the proposed project prior to the public hearing. 3.That a public hearing be held on the proposed improvements. The total estimated project cost of $31.835 should be incorporated in the public notice. The total estimated cost of $31,835 includes a 5 i>ercent contingency, a 25 percent allowance for design, inspection, legal, and administration costs, and a 5 percent allowance for capitalized 233S West Highway 36 • St. Paul.
