Engineering Services Agreement for Utility Capacity Study

Presenter: Frank Powell, Town Engineer

Mr. Powell reported this contract is for Engineering Services from Hazen and

Sawyer, P.C. for the proposed Utility Capacity Analysis Study. The contractis broken down into two phases. Phase I will determine the amount of

additional water and wastewater capacity that the Town may wish to purchase

from the City of Raleigh for a fee of $24,900. Phase II will look at the

financial impact and investigate possible alternatives available to fund the

purchase of that capacity. Phase II has a fee of $8,300 but it is noted in

the agreement that this amount may be negotiated based upon the Phase I

findings. The $8,300 figure is a reasonably in depth look at financing

alternatives. If the Phase I findings results in the Town deciding to

purchase only a minor amount of capacity then the Phase II effort may can be

reduced or possibly even eliminated. It is noted that the original budgetfor this study was $30,000. If Phase II is accomplished in its entirety then

the total cost of the study will be $33,200 and the budget will need to be

increased. Mr. Powell noted the initial fee proposed by the consultant was

$34,700. After a meeting with the consultant to discuss the scope of

services in detail we were able to reduce that fee by $1,500. The

Engineering Department initially sent a request for proposals for

Town of Garner Transportation Plan 2010

Presenter: Brad Bass, Planning Director

Mr. Bass presented the staff report. The Town Council authorized thedevelopment of a new Transportation Plan in October 2008. It will replace the

current Transportation Plan that was adopted in 1999. The new Transportation

Plan establishes a vision and a set of suggested strategic transportation

improvements that will guide future budget and capital program considerations

for Garner. It is also anticipated that Garner will utilize the

Transportation Plan as a guide to provide input to CAMPO, Wake County, NCDOT

and Triangle Transit for consideration of future transportation service

investments. The Town retained the consultant services of the Louis Berger

Group to develop the plan. A Steering Committee was appointed by Council toassist Staff and the Consultant with this effort. The project kicked-off in

January 2009. The Steering Committee held ten meetings over the course of

the last year with Staff and the Consultant to work on the new 2010 Garner

Transportation Plan. The Transportation Plan Steering Committee met on

January 20, 2010 to review the final working draft of the new Garner

Transportation Plan including some of the major recommendations contained in

the Plan. After this review, the Committee concluded it was appropriate to

move forward with a Public Open House Workshop to gain public review and

comment on the draft Plan. The open house was held on March 3, 2010 for

public review and comment. Approximately fifty people attended the meeting.The Plan was reviewed by the Town Council at its July 27, 2010 Work Session

and a public hearing was held on August 2, 2010.

Mr. Bass recognized Scott Lane and asked him to present highlights of the

plan. Mr. Lane began by presenting the plan’s vision statement and four

goals of the plan. “Garner’s transportation system provides its citizens and

businesses with efficient and safe travel options for auto, bicycle,

pedestrian, and public transit users that serve transportation needs in a

balance with land use development patterns as well as regional and localpartnerships.”

1. The Garner Transportation Plan will be a visionary document that

includes a variety of strategies and partners from adjacent communities

and our own to address transportation needs.

Regarding the bicycle and pedestrian recommendations, he noted that there are

a number of crossing improvements recommended in the Plan. The sidewalk

costs are for a sidewalk on one side of the street only. High priority

projects are shown first and short-term projects afterwards.

Mr. Lane said the public transportation focuses on shopping centers and

roadways to downtown Raleigh. The plan recommends a new bus service around

Garner connecting with existing routes provided by Raleigh and Triangle

Transit. Additional recommendations on potential future rail stations are

also discussed in the Plan. Mr. Lane thanked the Council for their

participation and patience. Council Member Marshburn noted the plan should

be reviewed every five years. Mr. Lane agreed and said it has been ten years

since the last plan was reviewed. He added that this is a living document

and can be tweaked or modified.

Mr. Bass said he wanted to formally recognize the Steering Committee and

personally thank them for volunteering their time to assist us with this

project.

Council Member Singleton said there is lots of detailed information and this

is a plan that will serve us well in the future. At the work session, he

expressed concerns about traffic and safety at the area high school and

middle schools. Garner Senior High School now has 2500 students and he feels

we need to look at the streets before installing sidewalks. He said he wouldlike to authorize staff to move forward with traffic analysis in those areas

and focus on improvements that need to be made to make it a safe.

Council Member Kennedy said this involved a lot of regional planning efforts

and thanked Mr. Lane for making the meetings interesting and productive; he

said it was a rewarding experience.

Mayor Williams agreed this is an excellent plan. He said he was glad to see

plans regarding transit; there was little discussion about transit in theearlier plan. Mayor Williams said at the July 3 Celebration lots of people

talked about what a good job Garner is doing.

Garner Streetscape Plan Summary

The Garner Streetscape Plan was authorized by the Town Council in October 2008. The Council

appointed a Steering

Committee

(separate

from

the

Transportation

Plan

Committee)

to

assist

with the development of this plan. One of the recommendations from the North Garner Plan

was to design and implement streetscape improvements along Main Street. The proposed

Streetscape Plan implements the design portion of this recommendation. The Steering

Committee held a series of meetings in 2009 with Staff and the Consultant to work through

the development of the Plan. An informal Open House meeting was held in April 2009 to

gain public input on the preliminary design concepts. Staff and the Consultant continued

to evaluate

the

preliminary

document

while

waiting

for

the

Historic

Downtown

Garner

Plan

to evolve in order to ensure the two planning efforts were properly coordinated. An Open House meeting was held in March 2010 for the public to view both the Streetscape Plan and

the 2010 Garner Transportation Plan. Council reviewed the draft Streetscape Plan at its July

2010 work session requested staff and the consultant to make several revisions to the draft.

The revisions have been made and we are now presenting the revised Streetscape Plan to

Council for further review. If Council is comfortable with the revisions, staff requests Council

to place this matter on the December 6, 2010 agenda for adoption consideration.

Summary

Design Process The foundation of Garner’s Streetscape Plan has been the value of

workshops and the charrette process. This problem‐solving

process utilized in the development of the master plan established

a clear vision along with identifying opportunities and constrains

from which the project design alternatives would be developed.

The outcome of the Garner’s Streetscape Plan process was a

clearly defined

vision,

an

understanding

of

opportunities

and

constraints, and the development of a consensus based master

plan that addressed project principals.

Garner Streetscape Plan Summary Design Recommendations 1.

Downtown

Core:

The design proposed along Main Street transforms the existing streetscape into a visual spine between

New Rand and Benson Road. This visual spine is a town scaled boulevard with a community gathering

place in its center. The new town square is an important community space that provides the Town of

Garner a location for special events, Informational, Directional, and Cultural Signage. In addition this

space acts as a speed table providing traffic calming measures as well as increasing automobile and foot

traffic for local business along Main Street.

Site Program

Delineate sidewalk into nine foot clear zone and five foot furnishing zone

Brush sweep and score concrete clear zone and brick furnishing zone

Add one foot concrete base for lamp post

Relocate existing lamp post adding lighted bollards, benches, trash receptacles, bike rack, and post box

Add street trees and metal tree grates

Create brick welcoming platform/ speed table with lighted bollards, lamp post, and informational,

directional, and cultural signage

Add crosswalks and handicap parking adjacent to welcoming platform

Restripe existing parking from angular to perpendicular

Plant wild flowers with 70% yellow mix between railroad and Main Street

Landscape groupings along Garner Road Corridor

2. Benson Road at West Garner and Main:

The following represents the site program for Benson Road and Main Street. Benson Road is an

important Linkage to Main Street from US‐70 and it connection to West Garner Road.

Site Program‐Benson at West Garner
