The Worthington City Council on Monday will consider a resolution directing the preparation of a report for the proposed extension of East Flower Lane from West Gateway Drive to approximately 800 feet west.
The scope of the project includes subgrade fill, base construction, concrete or bituminous surfacing, curb and gutter, sidewalks, driveways, water main, storm sewer main, sanitary sewer main, water services and sanitary sewer services.
Although the project has secured $1.08 million in funding through state turnback money, that funding will not cover the full project costs. The remaining expenses, after applying the grant funds, will be assessed to the abutting property owners. These costs will include engineering and field inspection.
In a related matter, the council is slated to consider approval of a 2025 budget amendment to adjust the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to accommodate the construction of the East Flower Lane project. It is noted in Monday's council agenda packet that city staff believes constructing the new Flower Lane has become essential to supporting development in the vicinity.
In a separate matter, council members are scheduled to consider an appeal for a variance that had been initially denied by the city's Board of Zoning Appeals.
A variance application submitted by Rick Heidebrink for property located at 1102 South Shore Drive was denied on a 3-2 vote Dec. 3. The applicant sought approval of a variance to allow for an addition to the attached garage/house that would extend 3 feet into the required 10- foot side setback.
A period of public comment is also scheduled during the meeting on the Worthington Police Department's implementation of a drone program and related policy. A draft policy can be found on the WPD website.
