Subject: Assessments for Cold -Mix Asphalt Overlay
Contract 11 -21
To Property Owners on:
➢ ROCKWELL AVENUE, Fox River to High Avenue
A public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, September 27, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. in the Common Council Chamber
of the Oshkosh City Hall to consider a cold -mix asphalt overlay on your street and the levy of special
assessments to partially cover the cost of the cold -mix overlay. Due to the poor condition of the roadway in
front of your property, a cold -mix overlay has been proposed as an interim maintenance strategy to extend its
useful life for five years or more. The cold -mix overlay is a flexible asphaltic material that will be constructed
to a thickness of approximately two (2) inches and will improve the ride of the street.
Assessments are not due until the project is completed and then can be paid by any one of the plans as outlined
on the enclosed Payment Plan for Special Assessments. Questions in regard to payment of Special Assessments
can be answered by calling the City Clerk's office at (920)236 -5011. Please note that the assessment
calculations by the Department of Public Works are based on your lot frontage and estimated street
widths, as shown on aerial photos. When the construction is completed, it is anticipated that the
assessments will be reduced based on actual measurements of the lengths and widths of the cold -mix
asphalt overlay completed.
The cold -mix overlay work should cause minimal disturbance during the construction process. There will be a
few days during the actual paving process when you will be asked to not park on the street, but you will still be
able to access your driveway. There will be no effect on fire protection, mail delivery, or garbage collection
during construction. If you have any questions about the proposed cold -mix overlay project, please feel free to
contact the Department of Public Works at (920)236 -5065 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Si cerely,
Steven M. Gohde
Assistant Director of Public Works
