Shakopee City Council

FROM:Bruce Loney, Public Works Director Emeritus
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Approve an Addendum to Right of Way Permit for Alley Reconstruction with KJS Fuller, LLC
Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize the appropriate city officials to execute the attached Addendum to Right-of-Way Permit with KJS Fuller, LLC for a Concrete Alley from Atwood Street to Fuller Street and between 2nd and 3rd Avenues.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Addendum Right-of-Way Permit as constructing a concrete alley is the preferred design to handle the drainage and to be done with other site improvements.
Discussion:

Scott O’Brien has recently purchased the building at 250 Fuller Street South and is making improvements to adjacent properties for additional parking. Part of the improvements being requested is to reconstruct the alley pavement to concrete – similar to what was done by the Public House.

 

In the City’s revised assessment policy on the July 5, 2017 agenda, improved alleys in the Central Business District are to be assessed 30% and the City’s share is 70%. Staff has been working with Mr. O’Brien and his engineer on a design and associated costs of the improvements.

 

Staff along with the city attorney has prepared an agreement for the City’s reimbursement cost. The City would pay 100% of storm sewer work in the alley and 70% of the alley. The funding for the work would come from the Surface Drainage fund.

 

The work would be done by a contractor for KJS Fuller, LLC and under a right of way permit by the City. This addendum is the mechanism for the City to reimburse the developer.

Budget Impact:
The addendum affects the Storm Drainage Fund. Current estimates for 70% of concrete alley is $36,032.50 and 100% of Storm Sewer work is $1,500.00 for a total of $37,532.50 from Storm Drainage fund.
