all right here we go this is steve dodge assistant city engineer you have visited the video for the 2022 pavement management program the carlito way area improvements project at city project 2016-09f with me tonight is luke warren of kimberly horn he's the project manager uh the gen the agenda for tonight is we are going to go over the carlito way project we're going to look at the proposed improvements there's some potential parking restrictions and the 63rd court east modifications uh other than that we'll be re you know looking at the street and storm water improvements and utility improvements and we'll discuss assessments and then schedule the for those uh that are attending uh right currently uh zero have signed up uh or have come to the meeting uh but if someone does join these would be the instructions to uh be able to do a question and answer session uh in the end where you can ask a question by clicking on the lower right corner of your window on ask a question then you can type it in and we'll answer any questions you may have the general project overview is the street segments the project is just north of 65th street on cahill avenue just off of cahill avenue and it's carlito way is a looped road off a cahill with a small section of 63rd court and 64th court that are part of the project generally the other scope of the project is this is going to be a full reconstruction uh replacing the street into its existing width full reconstruction means we're going to go down uh with new pavement gravel and a sand section in order to uh build a road that lasts long term and the also uh we're looking at a water main replacement project and along with that the sanitary sewer would be replaced and there's uh storm sewer improvements that are also proposed and it would impact the front yards along the curb line and the driveways the general proposed street improvements would be to install a concrete curb which would be a barrier a b style curb which goes straight up similar to the bituminous curving that's there today but it would be concrete with a gutter section and we at the bottom of the two foot sand section i described would we would also place drain tile in order to have a free draining road and we had mentioned that there would be in the boulevard there would be behind the curb there would be front yard restoration with seating and we'd have to do driveway apron reconstruction and we would match driveways uh and if there's a concrete driveway we would go far enough back to match into a joint or reasonable location there's no existing street lights within the neighborhood and that would take a local petition if the neighbors residents in this neighborhood felt they would like to add street lighting that comes with additional upfront cost and utility cost on the utility bill which until that's requested we can go over that at that time we did meet with public safety and had internal staff review of carlito way we just want to note that there is a potential for no parking on carlito way [Music] and the parking location is just being considered to provide safe emergency vehicle access in and out of the neighborhood due to the sharp corners and in the north and south entrances alpha cahill and these are just potential parking restrictions which are under consideration we're looking for resident feedback to bring back the council at a future date and council would be the ultimate decision maker based on staff and resident feedback 63rd court modifications this is an existing dead-end street but they're other than property 3120 there no there's no other driveways or reason for access to 63rd court so we would propose we are proposing to do a modified bulb style cul-de-sac that just kind of jots out uh it's it helps out with maintenance for snow plowing and still provides access to the lots to the north of this that may need it for uh whenever if they ever get built on those empty lots at this they're all city-owned lots there is a proposed sidewalk connection to prairie state's housing development they are doing improvements to their site within the next year and those improvements include internal sidewalk connection we're just proposing to continue that based on uh coordination efforts with them the general stormwater improvements proposed the replacement of existing storm sewer catchments and pipe the proposed storm sewer is in purple and would start on the north end of carlito way and come all the way down to 64th court and to a pond which is uh could be built as part of the cahill trunk drainage improvements and that that is being worked out with the three property owners well three properties uh just south of carlita uh where that blue pond is showing in the bottom of the screen here and that is proposed to be a dry pond just so we're clear on that that would drain away and be dry in between rainfall events and it the idea of proposing it is to help out with 64th court because 64th court sees uh flood has flooding issues and larger rainfall events and it's been observed by the residents we're also we'll look at as part of the street and storm through improvements and coming off at the north entrance off of cahill if you can see my hand lot 6175 kind of has a backfall driveway that we would look at proposed storm and streets and curb improvements that collect and keep the water storm water from going down the driveway and impacting backyards and then on 6285 that would be right in the middle of the project on the inside of the loop where my hand is there's a storm stub we're proposing to put out because there is comments related to backyard drainage issues and we want to provide a private solution to connect to the storm sewer if someone so chooses uh so there will be a storm stub provided if they uh someone wanted to connect to that storm stub the utility improvements uh we're proposing both new sewer and new water and that's based on the water main is cast iron and has shown a past history of breaks and so at that point we need we were proposing and improving the uh the water main and along with that the existing sanitary sewer is clay and it's shallow so we propose to improve replace both of those at the same time in order to do that we have to also replace sewer and water services uh it's the water service the sewer service you want to just make sure we get it behind the curb so it's accessible to the resident for their private service but the for the water main we usually we want to put the curved stop to the right away which is shown on here in this dashed line and then you can see these little blue squares which would be potential easements and if you look a little real closer at the easement acquisition uh these would just be a permanent dnu drainage and utility easement for the purpose of putting in the curb stops and and then they would we would have to work that out the next year with all the property owners so we have a easement acquisition built into the timeline of the project to work with every individual property owner in the next year the general project funding and cost is you can see that between the roadway improvements uh over a million dollars in storm improvements of 286 000 and water main improvements of around 500 000 sanitary sewer of 381 this brings around a total project cost of over 2.2 million now just to be clear the uh the assessment portion is only on the road and local storm improvements not including that pond i had mentioned which is a separate project and this is only the street storm improvements and the roadway improvements uh looking at 338 thousand 339 000 of assessments and then one million dollars for the pmp for funding that's a payment management program city funding source the water would be totally funded by the water fund and the sewer uh improvement century sewer would be totally uh funded by the sanitary sewer fund at a total project cost of just over 2.2 million uh the general assessment policy for the street and storm reconstruction is for 35 percent of the project cost but as you'll see on the next slide that there's a proposed cap so the actual effective assessment percentage goes down to 25 and that that's going to be reflective when looking at the preliminary assessment policy amount per calculation is 16 530 dollars for single-family lots but we hire an independent appraiser to review what special benefit can be admitted to the to the residential lots and the benefit provided by the independent appraiser is 9 600. so we don't use the 16 000 assessment uh per policy amount we use the lower of the two in this case which is the 9600 proposed assessment cap and special benefit provided so the assessment amount is based on that and it would be a 10-year term i wouldn't in this case if it's a 20 20 22 project for next year the assessments wouldn't start until january of 2023 and you would have the option to pay them off in 22 after the assessment hearings held you have 30 days to pay it off at the city in full the full 9 600 dollars and at the the assessment would include interest if you let that lapse over into your um uh the ten year term which is paid on your annual property statement taxes every six months the project schedule is we're gonna we're hosting the virtual meeting information meeting tonight prior to the improvement hearing april 12th is when we will present the council at the improvement hearing and we of course welcome any any residents and property owner to join that meeting and there are instructions in the letter you that was provided to you for the notice of how you may join that join the city council improvement hearing and provide comments for or against uh the project or any comments that you feel are necessary for the project the uh go through final design and ease of an acquisition and working with the neighborhood for the these public improvements uh we looked to bid the project in you know march april of 2022 and then authorize uh how council would have to authorize receive the bids and authorize construction and hold an assessment hearing after the project is built in spring of 2022 so may basically april may through fall of 2022 is uh the bidding and construction and assessment hearing process and at this time we would normally open it for questions uh but uh it looks like we have one attendee uh potentially that may have joined uh luke could you uh let us know if they're available or have questions yep so um good evening my name is luke warren i'm with kimberly horne and associates with the consulting firm i'm hired by the city doing the engineering on this project looks like we did get one question that's coming so far which i did publish so um it's from ryan at 6201 car lead away asking um would the easements require trees to be removed so the you know specific to the 6201 property i guess i don't have the information in front of me to to answer that question directly you know it's going to be what gets impacted as a part of replacing the curb stop boxes that steve mentioned when we were when he was discussing the water main improvements it will be solely dependent on where that curb stop box is located specifically in relation to your property and then you know if there's a tree so for example steve actually the the slide that steve just pulled up has the view of 6201 um so ryan so your residence um you know i i don't but without having the survey data in front of me i don't know specifically if that will cause or the construction and replacement of that curb stop box is going to impact any trees i guess what i would say is once the project's ordered and we start the process of reaching out to each of the property owners individually we'll have that information and be able to talk that through with you um and we would we would discuss that at that time and let you know what once we have construction limits and those impacts identified we'll then follow up with answers to those kinds of questions and i would also add that in the typical easement acquisition we're only talking to going 10 feet past what is the property line and in a swath that's 20 feet wide so these purple rectangular squares this regular ones you see here are basically 10 feet deep by 20 feet wide you can see on your property 6201 that's a great example we have trees up close to this so there's a potential so for some tree loss but that's going to be details we'll work out uh in the agreement um because we're on your property the city would propose or i would propose that we pay for tree removal and we have a typical number that we use that when we get into property negotiations and e for easement acquisition that we use on a per tree basis on working with residents so we can we'll definitely work with you on those details and we won't know for sure until we get into preliminary uh design and get far enough along in the process where we um know the fine details of what what the disturbance area and what's being disturbed thanks for the question ryan are there any others i don't see that anything else is coming steve okay well we would like to uh thank you uh for participating and for those that are going to view this on the web it will be placed on the carlito way project webpage for viewing we in the improvement hearing is on april 12th and you can do both virtual or you can do call-in as an option which is noticed in your providing the public notice that was mailed to you or you can also attend in person at the council meeting i just got to follow cdc guidelines for coven19 so and then feel free to reach out to lucarai in our project informations in the letters provided if you have further questions thanks luke for setting this up and we appreciate uh you know attendees uh with us tonight from their colleed away area have a good have a good evening you
