INTRODUCTION
There are three developments that are proposed to have street reconstruction this year as part of
the 2005 Overlay project. The three development areas are Valley View Estates, the north
portion of Valley View Estates 2nd Addition and the Russell Stack Addition (refer to feasibility
report included with your Council packet - please bring with you to the meeting). Staff met with
residents that are proposed to be assessed for concrete curb and gutter. They raised concerns that
staff would like to discuss with the Public Works Committee.
DISCUSSION
The Russell Stack Addition will consist of a standard mill and overlay project with no curb and
gutter. The storm sewer system in this development for the most part is a ditch system adjacent
to the roadway. Staff anticipates no resident objections or concerns in this area since there will be
no assessments for any of the improvements.
The north portion of Valley View Estates 2nd Addition has bituminous curb with no ditches. All
parcels in this development would be assessed for the concrete curb and gutter.
The Valley View Estates development has only 8 parcels out of 50+ that currently have
bituminous curb. Only those 8 parcels are proposed to have concrete curb and gutter constructed
along their property lines and be assessed for those costs. The remainder of the development
would have a standard mill and overlay which would not be assessed. This area does not have
ditches adjacent to the roadway. Existing drainage flows along the edge of the sodded yards to
catch basins or low areas adjacent to the roadway.
The current policy is that when a road is reconstructed, existing bituminous curb be replaced with
concrete curb and gutter. If no curb exists, no curb will be constructed.
o
There were to main concerns raised at the neighborhood meeting. The first concern: Why is the
City requiring concrete curb and gutter? The explanation is the curb conveys storm water runoff,
which improves drainage, the concrete curb provides structural support at the edge of the
roadway, and concrete has less maintenance and a longer life than bituminous curb.

The other main concern: Why is the City not requiring the remaining 50+ parcels in Valley View
Estates to have concrete curb and gutter if they do not have existing ditches, especially when they
believe there are more drainage problems in that area? Staffs response was the current policy
states that if bituminous curb exists, then concrete curb will replace it. If there is no curb, no
curb will be required at the time of reconstruction.
