Interim Engineer Millner described the City's mission to sustain a safe and solid infrastructure to assure Edina remained a preeminent community for its residents. He reviewed the process to order a road reconstruction project and how the costs were funded. Mr. Millner indicated that a typical single-family home would be assessed a Residential Equivalent Unit(REU)and commercial properties would be assessed a REU based on gross floor area and type of business. Assessments would be payable over 15 years. Mr. Millner explained payment options including senior deferral. At the request of the Council, Mr. Millner reviewed how property impacts would be addressed at the completion of the project and the pavement rating system that determined a Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Attorney Mattick advised of the City's ownership of dedicated rights-of-way. M.A. MORNINGSIDE B NEIGHBORHOOD RECONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENT NO. BA-406 — RESOLUTION NO.2013-127 ADOPTED Mr. Millner summarized the Morningside B Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction, Improvement No. BA- 406, that had been initiated by the City. He identified the project area, described existing conditions, and the proposed rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer, upgrades to the storm sewer system, curb and gutter spot repairs, watermain lining, upgrades to fire hydrants and gate valves, installation of sidewalks, and reconstruction of bituminous pavement. Mr. Millner answered questions of the Council related to sidewalk segments, sidewalk placement, and estimated costs.-He recommended that the proposed sidewalk on West 42nd Street be constructed on the north side of the street. He stated that construction on the south side would require removal of four trees, including a large mature tree at 4201 Oakdale Avenue and West 42nd Street. The Council urged consideration of the south side to better connect to the existing network of north/south sidewalks and to avoid mid-block crossings to a sidewalk on the north. It requested consideration of ending the sidewalk across from Monterey Avenue, short of 4201 Oakdale. Mr. Millner completed presentation of the project components and preliminary project costs estimated at $3,046,125, which included City-owned utility repairs and replacement. Funding for the roadway would be Page 1 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 10,2013 from a special assessment of 100% of the roadway cost. All City-owned utility improvements would be from the respective utility funds and sidewalk improvements would be funded through the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund. The estimated assessment would be $7,500 per REU based on the City's current Street Assessment Policy. Mr. Millner stated staff recommended authorization to complete plans and specifications and take bids if the Council found this project to be necessary, cost-effective, and feasible. The Council noted two properties that had been previously assessed for West 44th Street. Mr. Millner indicated staff would research that issue and update the assessment roll, if appropriate. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 6:51 p.m. Public Testimony Linda Berberoglu,4330 West 42nd Street,addressed the Council. Jeffrey Steele, 4404 West 42"d Street, addressed the Council and submitted a petition signed by 47 Morningside residents supporting sidewalk construction on the south side of 42nd Street, west of Grimes Avenue. Julia Steele,4404 West 42nd Street,addressed the Council. Patricia Corcoran,4121 Monterey Avenue, addressed the Council. Donald Wray,4211 Alden Drive,addressed the Council. Manager Neal explained that sidewalks were paid through a fee on utility bills, not assessments. Paul Ledin,4201 Oakdale Avenue,addressed the Council. Valerie Anderson,4213 West 42nd Street,addressed the Council. Member Swenson made a motion,seconded by Member Sprague,to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. The Council addressed issues raised during public testimony including increased property value with an abutting sidewalk; safety concerns and impacts of a south-side sidewalk from France Avenue to Grimes Avenue; locating sidewalks on the north side from France Avenue to Grimes Avenue on City-owned park land; responsible party to plow sidewalks; value of placing sidewalks on the north side based on available right-of-way; increased cost to center Grimes Avenue within the right-of-way; five-foot width of sidewalks and varying width of boulevards; pedestrian ramps; warrants for crosswalk locations; traffic counts on West 42nd Street east and west of Grimes Avenue; and, soil borings within the project limits pre-project and during the project. The Council noted a sidewalk on the north side would result in fewer hardships and obstacles; align the corridor though it created more crossings; each north/south street would have pedestrian landing pads; it would not push a maintenance hardship onto property owners; it created a longer segment;and, it provided the highest level facility with a reasonable boulevard. Member Sprague introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2013-127, Ordering Improvement for Morningside B Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction, Improvement No. BA-406, as proposed with the West 42nd Street sidewalk on the north side, with bid alternates for sidewalk segments on Crocker Avenue and Grimes Avenue and also on Alden Drive and Scott Terrace.

BA-408 —RESOLUTION NO.2013-129 ADOPTED Mr. Millner summarized the Hawkes Addition neighborhood roadway improvement projects, noting it had been combined with the Warden Avenue Countryside F project into one feasibility study to create economies of scale for the bidding process due to their small individual size and geographical proximity to one another. These two projects had been initiated by the City. He identified the project area, described existing conditions, and the proposed improvement to localized rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer, upgrades to the storm sewer system, and upgrades to fire hydrants, concrete curb and gutter spot repair, and reconstruction of bituminous pavement. The preliminary overall project cost was estimated at $763,638, which included City owned utility repairs and replacement. Funding for the roadway cost would be from a special assessment of 100%of the roadway cost.All City-owned utility repairs would be from the respective utility funds. The estimated assessment would be $11,000 per REU for Hawkes Addition and $10,000 per REU for Warden Avenue, based on the City's current Street Assessment Policy. Mr. Millner stated staff recommended authorization to complete plans and specifications and take bids if the Council found this project to be necessary, cost-effective, and feasible. Mr. Millner answered questions of the Council relating to issues raised by 5712 Hawkes Drive, indicating the fire hydrant would be relocated to the property line and the Living Streets Plan would address location of street lighting, as there was not a current City policy. He indicated the street lighting could be added later but he would recommend first surveying the neighborhood to see if it supported street lighting on Hawkes Terrace and Hawkes Drive. It was noted the resident survey might need to be revised to include a question relating to whether there was support for additional street lighting (not just an upgrade to street light style). Another issue that remained was how it would be funded. Mr. Millner described storm sewer system capacity and structure upgrades to capture sediment. The Council discussed the value of educational tools to assure protection and enhancement of lake water quality and to address rain gardens.

Member Swenson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2013-130, Ordering Improvement for Bredesen Park D Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction Improvement No. BA-409. Member Bennett seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. IV.E. BIRCHCREST B NEIGHBORHOOD RECONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENT NO.

The Council acknowledged the City does not have a policy relating to the point it changed from being a repair to becoming a reconstruction. It was noted that infrastructure was replaced during a reconstruction, not a repair. Mr. Millner described the locations of repair and replacement of infrastructure. He explained that this infrastructure work resulted in an economy of scale in being a reconstruction project.

The Council then considered whether to request a bid alternate since it had been testified that most of the concrete street panels were in great shape as were the curb and gutter. Mr. Neal indicated that the additional cost to prepare such a bid alternate would become part of the project's engineering cost. Attorney Mattick advised that to assesses,the City had to show that the assessment would not exceed the value increase to the property and generally, reconstruction projects provide a greater perceived benefit.
