HomeMy WebLinkAboutCouncil Workshop Packet 03.18.2025 AGENDA CITY OF LAUREL CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 2025 6:30 PM COUNCIL CHAMBERS Public Input: Citizens may address the Council regarding any item of City business that is not on tonight’s agenda. The duration for an individual speaking under Public Input is limited to three minutes. While all comments are welcome, the Council will not take action on any item not on the agenda. Because of the Rules that govern public meetings, Council is not permitted to speak in response to any issue raised that is a non-Agenda item. The Mayor may provide factual information in response, with the intention that the matter may be addressed at a later meeting. In addition, City Council may request that a particular non-Agenda item be placed on an upcoming Agenda, for consideration. Citizens should not construe Council’s “silence” on an issue as an opinion, one way or the other, regarding that non-Agenda matter. Council simply cannot debate an item that is not on the Agenda, and therefore, they must simply listen to the feedback given during public input. If a citizen would like to speak or comment regarding an item that is on tonight’s agenda, we ask that you wait until the agenda item is presented to the Council by the Mayor and the public is asked to comment by the Mayor. Be advised, if a discussion item has an upcoming public hearing, we would request members of the public to reserve your comments until the public hearing. At the public hearing, the City Council will establish an official record that will include all of your comments, testimony, and written evidence. General Items Executive Review 1.

Task Order #2 a. LURA SURVEYS: i. Review draft survey for project 1. 1. Exhibit 1 includes the Draft Survey for Project 1. ii. Submittal 2 will include a similar document for entire TIF District – October 1, 2025 1. No work is currently being performed on this item. All current work is focused on project 1. b. PROJECT 1 DESIGN i. The draft project survey has been completed. ii. Exhibit 2 includes the draft layout, showing the proposed improvements. a. Areas in green are in good condition, and not proposed for replacement at this time. i. Some sidewalk in the green areas will require removal/replacement to accommodate pull boxes for pedestrian lighting. b. Areas in red are proposed for replacement. i. Deteriorating sidewalk ii. Drainage issues iii. Non-ADA compliance iv. Areas where conditions vary. (Some good, some bad) 1. Based on discussions with the pedestrian lighting engineer, it is more economical to replace some additional sidewalk and trench than to bore multiple short sections. Therefore in areas where condition varies, it is proposed to replace the whole sidewalk to accommodate the pedestrian lighting project. v. Following a walkthrough of the project with Kurt Markegard, it was decided to widen the sidewalk on the east side of 2nd Avenue, north of the alley to a width of 10 feet. It was also decided to add a portion of the sidewalk along the south side of 1st Street to the project. There are some drainage issues in the alley on the east side of 2nd Avenue. Based on follow up conversations with Forrest Sanderson, there may be a future project to address these issues. Where possible the current sidewalk design will be completed with the goal of allowing alley drainage issues to be addressed in the future while minimizing re-work as much as possible. Additions are shown in Exhibit 2. 90 1145 Cap Road // Helena, MT 59602 // 406.461.0692 www.tripletreemt.com P:\Laurel\24-105 LURA North Sidewalks & Lighting TO - 2\Correspondence\Meetings\2025_0310 Progress Meeting\2025_0310 Meeting Minutes\2025_0310 10% Meeting - Minutes.docx iii. Design Discussion Items: a. Accessibility to buildings i. At the February 3, 2025 meeting, there was discussion regarding providing ADA access to the businesses. Exhibit 3 includes photos of examples on other projects for consideration. Following are some options for consideration by the board. ii. Options: 1. Construct sidewalk up to buildings, generally matching the existing grade at the face of the building. a. Pros: i. Less expensive ii. Less disruption to businesses b. Cons: i. Non ADA compliance to businesses ii. If businesses decide to make ADA accessible later on, some of the sidewalk installed as part of this project will need to be removed and replaced. c. It was decided by the board to proceed with Option 1. 2. Construct ADA accessible routes to every building including buildings with insets. a. Pros: i. Provides ADA accessible routes to all businesses b. Cons: i. Considerably more expensive to construct ramps, railings, curbs, walls, etc. ii. Where building insets are present, work will be occurring within the envelope of the building. iii. Concurrence from each business owner. 1. Will likely delay the project. iv. If businesses decide to make ADA accessible later on, some of the sidewalk installed as part of this project will need to be removed and replaced. 3. Construct ADA accessible routes only to buildings without insets. a. Pros: i. Provides ADA accessible routes on City sidewalks, while not performing work in private building envelopes. ii. Limits additional project expenses. b. Cons: i. Concurrence and coordination with some building owners will be required. ii. If businesses with insets decide to make ADA accessible later on, some of the sidewalk installed as part of this project will need to be removed and replaced. 91 1145 Cap Road // Helena, MT 59602 // 406.461.0692 www.tripletreemt.com P:\Laurel\24-105 LURA North Sidewalks & Lighting TO - 2\Correspondence\Meetings\2025_0310 Progress Meeting\2025_0310 Meeting Minutes\2025_0310 10% Meeting - Minutes.docx b. Street bulb outs i. Provide better ADA Ramp accessibility ii. Provide traffic calming for pedestrians iii. Protection to parked vehicles iv. Restrict turning movements for larger vehicles. v. It was decided not to install bulb outs in 1st Avenue because it is a truck route, and bulb outs may affect truck turning movements. Bulb outs are acceptable on the other streets. c. Area south of East Main Street i. At the last meeting, it was decided to replace the sidewalk in this area and shift south ~ 10 feet and include a boulevard. 1. The reason for the shift is to get the sidewalk farther away from the road to avoid snow piling up on the sidewalk. 2. We did not have this included in phase 1, and therefore didn’t complete topographic survey before the snow arrived. a. We will pick up survey soon when snow piles allow, and incorporate into the design. b. There is a lot of landscaping, flowers, etc. that will need to be considered. i. Does board have input on the sidewalk alignment in this area? c. BNSF permitting and coordination ii. It was decided not to include this portion of the project in Phase 1 because it will delay the project. This work will be completed in Phase 2. d. Relocation of stormwater inlets required in some areas. i. Multiple areas where existing curb and gutter is very flat (0.2 %). Industry standard is 0.5% min. ii. May need to add stormwater infrastructure to provide proper drainage. 1. Request City stormwater asbuilts. a. The City does not have stormwater asbuilts or drawings. e. Problem areas not shown on the maps that the board knows about. i. There is an existing vault under the sidewalk on the east side of 1st Avenue. The site was visited by Kurt Markegard, Doug Tamcke, and Brad Koon after the meeting and it was decided not to perform any sidewalk work above the vault. ii. During the walkthrough with Kurt Markegard, an outdated hydrant was observed at the intersection of Main Street and Pennsylvania Street. It was decided to include a note on the plans for the Contractor to coordinate with the City when the work in this area will be performed. The City will remove and replace the hydrant at that time. iii. During the walkthrough along Main Street, laydown curbs were observed that were likely wider than they needed to be. One location is in front of the veterinary clinic, and the other is in front of Molly and Friends. Kurt will coordinate with the property owners to determine the desired widths and communicate back to TTE. 92 1145 Cap Road // Helena, MT 59602 // 406.461.0692 www.tripletreemt.com P:\Laurel\24-105 LURA North Sidewalks & Lighting TO - 2\Correspondence\Meetings\2025_0310 Progress Meeting\2025_0310 Meeting Minutes\2025_0310 10% Meeting - Minutes.docx iv. Pedestrian Lighting a. Discuss layout. i. Exhibit 4 includes the preliminary lighting layout. ii. It was noted that the lighting engineer is working with different fixtures to lessen the number of poles. 1. The board agreed that they would like to decrease the number of poles as much as possible while meeting pedestrian lighting requirements. Would like to cut down to 4-5 per block. iii. The banners on the lights need to be high enough that the bottom of the snowflakes are at a height of 14 feet. The Snowflakes are 3 feet high. iv. Include electrical receptacles on lights at corners and mid-block up high on pole. v. Receptacles need to be live all the time, and not turn off with the lights. vi. During the walkthrough with Kurt Markegard, black steel poles supporting wires were observed intermittently along Main Street. 1. Based on a follow up conversation with Forrest, these poles are owned by the Chamber and will either be removed by them prior to the project or removed by the Contractor as part of the project. Forrest will let TTE know what is decided by the Chamber so TTE can address plans accordingly. v. Trees a. At the February 3, 2025 meeting, there was discussion about not planting any new trees, and only keeping mature trees in good health. Trees don’t get taken care of. i. Is this still the direction from the board? b. This was discussed with the arborist, and he encouraged keeping as many trees as possible, and planting new trees. i. He can recommend trees that require less maintenance, but no matter the tree species, some care and maintenance will be required. ii. He asked if something could be organized to ensure care for trees. c. The board decided to keep existing trees that are healthy and not damaging the sidewalks, curb and gutter, or road. Unhealthy trees or trees causing damage will be removed. If trees are removed, new trees will be planted in or near that location. New trees will also be planted in locations where trees previously existed and are not in place anymore “Empty Tree Grates”. Trees that require minimal watering and maintenance will be planted. 93 1145 Cap Road // Helena, MT 59602 // 406.461.0692 www.tripletreemt.com P:\Laurel\24-105 LURA North Sidewalks & Lighting TO - 2\Correspondence\Meetings\2025_0310 Progress Meeting\2025_0310 Meeting Minutes\2025_0310 10% Meeting - Minutes.docx vi. Project 1 Design Schedule: a. Topographic Survey and Base Map – Auto Cad Base Map Complete b. 10% Design – Today c. 50% Design Review – March 24, 2025 d. 95% Design ~ April 1, 2025 e. 100% Design ~ April 15, 2025 c. BIDDING i. During the meeting it was discussed that MDT permitting will likely delay the project. It was discussed during the meeting to bid the MDT portion of the project as a separate schedule to allow the non-MDT portion of the project to be awarded while permitting is being finalized on the MDT portions. In follow up conversations with MDT, with the presence of stormwater infrastructure, this review will likely go to “MDT Systems Impacts” for review. The process will likely take ~2 months to review, and they need to review complete plans. Also, MDT will likely require changes to the plans that could result in change orders. Based on this information, we recommend bidding the work that is not on MDT Right-of-Way separately from the work that is on MDT Right-of-Way. The design schedule will remain the same, but bidding of the MDT portion of the project will occur after approval from MDT.
