SR-508-000 (60) e :J"tJg'-CJCO e 7-8 MAR 1 0 1987 GS:SES:JAS council Meeting: March 10, 1987 Santa Monica, California TO: Mayor and City council FROM: city staff SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Gutter, Street Resurfacing and Tree Planting Assessment District for Colorado between 14th street and Cloverfield Introduction This report recommends that the City council hold a public hearing to hear protests, if any, regarding the formation of an assessment district to construct concrete gutters, reconstruct the street and plant trees along Colorado Avenue between 14th street and Cloverfield. Background The reconstruction of Colorado Avenue between 14th Street and Cloverfield was approved by the city council in FY 1984-85 as a Federal Aid Capital Project Improvement. The reconstruction includes widening the intersections at 17th and 14th to provide left-turn pockets, changing the striping at 20th to provide a left-turn pocket, upgrading traffic signals, improving drainage, providing handicap ramps, and increasing radii at several intersections to allow buses and trucks to turn without crossing into other traffic lanes. The overhead cables will be placed underground and the poles will be removed within six months. The reconstruction project, estimated at $750,000, is being financed with approximately 87% in Federal Aid Urban funds and 13% in City Gas Tax funds. The federally-funded portion of the project will be combined City of Santa Monica and County of Los Angeles FAU allocations. 7-8 MAR 1 0 1987 e e On February 10, 1987, the city council approved an assessment district whereby commercial property owners benefiting from the street resurfacing, gutter construction and tree planting will be assessed a portion of the cost. Residential property owners will not be assessed. The proposed assessments, in accordance with city policy, are as follows: Gutter construction at $9.50 per front foot, street resurfacing estimated $7.50 per front foot, and Tree planting at $3.00 per front foot. commercial property owners will be assessed for trees and concrete gutters if none exist. All commercial property owners will be assessed for street resurfacing. If all of the above items are constructed along a property, the commercial property owner will be assessed $20 per front foot. similar assessment districts have been formed for the federally-funded reconstruction of Wilshire Boulevard from Ocean Avenue to Centinela Avenue and on commerical and industrial properties in the city's annual street resurfacing program for the last three years. In accordance with the procedures set forth in the Improvement Act of 1911 of the California streets and Highways Code, Notices of Public Hearing and were sent to property owners and posted along Colorado fifteen days in advance (February 23, 1987) of the public hearing. BUdget/Financial Analysis A contract is proposed to be awarded in May, 1987. Budgeted e e funds are available for this project in Account Nos. 43-770-421-000-927 and 01-770-421-000-927. street resurfacing and gutter assessments will generate approximately $95,000 and tree planting revenue will generate approxim.ately $10,000 in revenue for a total of $105,000 in FY 1987-88. A detailed breakdown of assessments will be available upon confirmation of assessments after the work has been completed. Recommendation It is recommended that the city Council: 2. Open the public hearing; 2. Close the public hearing and acknowledge any protests; and 3. Adopt the attached Resolution.
