Councilman Scrivner, Chairman of the Street Committee, presented I Street lithe following report: Committee Report 11REPORT OF STREET COMMITTEE - 4/23/71 - Members present - Riner, Strong, Wells, Seaman, Scrivner and Rackers. A. Mr. Rackers stated that work had started on Industrial Drive, 11utilizing the $30,000 allocated by the Special Road District �Iearlier. The District has now agreed to allot another $25,000 to ' continue the project , Mr. Rackers informed the Committee that this amount could M o ssibly complete the widening and repairs from Dix Road to Rockhil Road if the work could be done at the I present time. The contractor 'will continue at the same price per unit if he can do it while his lequipment is still on the job. The Committee recommended that the lMapr be asked to poll the other members of the Council immediately Ian if they were in agreement, Mr. Rackers would proceed with the Is work. 2 . A request was received from property owners in the 1300 block of East Water Street, requesting that the land be vacated as a public street and reverted to the adjacent property owners. The Committee recommends that the request be granted subject to the approval of the Urban Renewal Authority and upon the recommendation,1 of the Director of Public Works. !I 3 Residents on Dockery Street petitioned that an access street be opened up permitting thru traffic to Lee Lane. Since none of the petitioners abutt the street to be opened, it was recommended that the petition be sent back subject to the approval of the 1property owners abutting the street under consideration, because there would be a per foot cost for constructing and improving the street. 4. Mr. Robert Burgess, developer in the Idlewood Subdivision, lr asked the City to take over the Idlewood Sewage Lagoon due to pressure from the Water Pollution Board. He agreed to give the City sufficient land to enlarge the lagoon to bring it into compliance. It is anticipated that the City• will eventually take Jt over since it will be in the City. The Committee recommends that the developer be required to bring the lagoon up to standard then the City will take it over. Otherwise, we would be in the position of "Bailing Out" the developer and there are others with ai similar problem. 5. The Buehrle Lagoon was built several y ears ago by Major Brothers to handle sewage for the area, lateriother land owners tied into the lagoon and now it is in need of improvement if it is to Iremain functional. Mr. Rackers informed the Committee that we now '. ihave a trunkline sewer in the area and we should probably tie all of the homes into the line and eliminate the lagoon. Mr. Riner 3.n r Meet moved that we invoke a "hook-up" charge of $25.00 per dwelli- ng t instead of resorting to a sewer tax levy. The Committee recommends ,l we proceed with this suggestion. , 6. Leslie Blvd. has a grade elevation problem deterring the construction of new properties . Major Brothers have offered to blast out the rock and level out the roadway if the City will move �l and resurface the area. Mr. Rackers estimated the cost to the City ; at $3,000, certain utilities will need to be lowered or changed. It was agreed that this should be done after school is out in orders not to disrupt traffic flow. A motion by Mr. Strong was made and passed that this be done, subject to a preliminary report of costs !! and time schedules. i 7. LONG RANGE STREET RENEWAL PLAN. Mr. Rackers stated that $50,060 . of street work, as part of the long range Capital Improvement Plan, ;; (fshould be determined at this time. Within the next 10 years most streets should be reworked as part of a Comprehensive Street AStreet , Improvement Plan. The annual determination of streets to be 'Committee improved will be done according to traffic count and conditions of ;,Report the streets . 8. WIDENING AND REWORKING OF THE OLD ST. LOUIS ROAD. Last year faction was started to rework the old St. Louis Road, using $25,000 of Special Road District Funds, and an assessment program to supplement that amount. Easement requests were sent out but few �4 returned. The cost estimate a year ago was $5.00 per front foot. II! Estimates did not include drainage structures or driveway openings . I� Costs are now estimated at close to $8.00. !± 9. ROCK QUARRY USE. Mr. Rackers stated that he owns a rock I quarry sight that he would make available WITH NO COST TO THE CITY if to stow dirt that the Missouri Power & Light Company wishes to dispose of. The dirt can be used by the City as need develops . We! recommend that the generous offer of Mr. Rackers should be acceptedG /s/ Forrest Scrivner, Chairman. i Councilman Borgmeyer moved that Item No. 5, in regard to the ' Buehrle Lagoon, be held up until more information could be gathered..l as to what property owners had been told prior to annexation, about± ! charges for sewer hook-up.
