This is steve dodgey assistant stage here you're here for the bryant lane uh virtual open house to go over the feasibility report before the public hearing next on february 22nd on a monday

what you were finding in the subgrade soils where there were many areas where they had uh higher uh fines silt and clay content level uh there was uh one or two that did not but we when we look at a project that was out of eight borings so out of the eight borings we look at a project as an overall when they do recommendations because we do projects by neighborhood the proposed street improvements are to have a full street section and that includes if you start at the top you know four inches of pavement you have six inches of gravel below that and then two feet of sand with uh fabric to separate the road from the frost susceptible soils that were found on the borings uh and make it a long lasting road and then we put drain tiles on each end of the road in order to make sure we have free draining road and we saw water issues

Blackberry trail is 100 percent being funded by the city and the reason that is because lot 1 is all city property and that pretty much covers the length of blackberry trail on the east side well lot 60 is part of the officially the underlying ownership is the business uh complex uh on upper 55th and the blackberry business complex and but that is also a city maintained pond on the west side of the road this this whole lot 60 is all encumbered by easement uh for city use and purposes all except for a 30-foot section so for that reason the city pretty much controls the west side and the east side of the entrance as far as property and or easement and we are proposing the city pick up 100 of that cost for blackberry trail so that is not in the included in the street assessments for the majestic woodlands breitling uh project

the city council is reviewing the current assessment policy so we've revised our schedule as you note in the end in order to accommodate that so the with the assessment uh policy that we have today with the 35 percent accessible to the properties that uh are on the project and have driveways to the project uh it would be a 9491 dollar assessment per single family parcel

Excel energy and I got really good news uh the what they let us know is that because we're doing a reconstruction project in your neighborhood that the lighting in your neighborhood which is the the old style is can be is qualified to be updated at no additional cost to you or really the city because the city just has to do restoration which we're doing anyways with the project

the when it comes to the obstructions in the right-of-way which are the irrigation and landscaping and and irrigate and invisible fence that is responsible homeowner uh so we would coordinate with everyone ahead of time but your irrigations would you'd want to have those capped off uh back uh or or you let our contractor go by and cut it and then it could be capped off afterwards by your zones uh but and uh but any landscaping you'd want saved you'd want to pull it back and say that yourself like you have some retaining wall or something or landscaping that you want to save or vegetation like you have some special plants you want saved in the boulevard you'd want to pull those out because our contractor you know constructs the road in the project and the items in the boulevard like that would be your responsibility

Full death reclamation was reviewed uh but not recommended by a geotechnical consultant um in in the it was because of the subgrade porous upgrade soils that were out there and the deterioration of the pavement uh you know was stripping from the bottom up uh so that that's what causes some limitation in the roads upgrade is when water uh can't get out of the sub grade and so if you do a full depth of reclamation we looked at it it still would be a 1.3 million dollar project plus uh and it still would be about an 8100 assessment per the assessment policy which is 55 percent for an fdr uh full depth reclamation style project and uh one issue with the curb too is people ask about well we can save curb and you can but the way curb bidding goes is is basically like this if you if you end up replacing uh 25 to 35 you know about a third of your curb or 25 a quart fourth to a third of your curb at that point you might you almost should might consider replacing all of your curve because hand forming curve up and down your block one isn't uh isn't the hand form curve doesn't last as long as when a machine comes in and it's machine formed and done with better specifications and two the machine form curve is about a third the cost of hand form curb so by the time you replace 25 to 30 percent of your curb you might as well well replaced it all because from a just a curb price perspective it's pretty much the same price by anyways we did look at fdr these are these are the uh cost and assessment and results uh in geotechnical review uh and that that so these are the reasons why uh it just makes for 9 400 plus dollars uh you know just 1400 more uh from your assessment viewpoint from your costs you can get a full reconstruction which is a 50-year design road instead of being back in your neighborhood on a regular basis having this discussion every 20 years
