City Administrator SUBJECT: CSAH 31 Project Financing DATE: May 19.1997 INTRODUCTION At the May 5, 1997 Council meeting, Mr. Dennis Walters. 18235 Euclid Avenue. expressed concerns over the proposed financing of CSAH 31 relative to special assessments levied against developed properties north of 195th Street. In addition, comments \vere made suggesting that the special assessment financing decision had been predetermmed. and should be re-evaluated by the Administrator. DISCUSSION In response to these concerns, the following points should clarify these outstanding concerns. . Staffs role and responsibility in any project is to objectively evaluate the financial. budgetary, policy and project management implications and recommend the most cost- effective and practical solution to Council. . From the beginning, project financing options presented to Council did include both a special assessment and a City-wide levy funding scenario. In this case. the property tax option was evaluated as considerably more expensive, and suggested some undesirable project financing policy issues. as well as significant property tax and tax capacity rate implications. . Each option was evaluated strictly from a project cost property tax impact, project financing Qnd budget impact position. . Finally, Council, when the question of public financing emerges. is the final authority on how a public improvement project will be funded normally after considering all relevant. substantive and significant information brought to their collective attention. Accordingly, no decision has been made by Council at this time. pending the legislative outcome on noise mitigation exemptions. ACTION REQUESTED None. As always, I appreciate the oppommity to clarify these issues on this yery important project and respect the resident's concerns relative to how this project will ultimately be tinanced.

Ms. Smick gave an overview of the plat layouc. She lndicated a 5 acre park which the Developer proposed to donate to the City. She also noted that a portion of the second phase of the plat was located outside of current MUSA boundaries. Although this area was included in the PUD, it was emphasized that it could not be built upon until MUSA was granted. Mayor Ristow asked how many lots were outside of MUSA and what the approximate time frame was for MUSA expansion. Planner Smick noted that 17 lots were outside of MUSA, which was anticipated to be granted in June, 1997. She also commented that storm sewer would be extended into that portion of the PUD, but not streets. Councilmember Strachan noted that the lots on the north side of the plat were smaller and lots to the south gradually increased in size to blend in with those in Nelsen Hills Farm. Mayor Ristow raised a question regarding the location of the park, which was noted to be between Pine Ridge Forest and Cameron Woods. Issues regarding the completion of the road had been resolved. Engineer Mann commented that no grading would be allowed until the grading plan had been approved. There were no comments from the audience.

Accept Bids/Award Contract - 1997 Seal Coat Project City Engineer Mann stated that bids had been received and the apparent low bid was submitted by Caldwell Asphalt. The bid received was under the project estimate because an anticipated oil price increase did not occur. Mayor Ristow asked why the lo',yer bid price didn' t result in a reduction of the assessed amount. Engineer Mann stated that, per City assessment policy, sealcoating was assessed at 50% of project cost and the static assessment amount established by Council was stl._l below 50% of the total project cost. MOTION by Gamer, second by Cordes to adopt RESOLUTION NO. R54-97 accepting bids and awarding the contract to Caldwell Asphalt for che 1997 Sealcoat Project. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

Potential Tax Levy Limits :inance D~~ector Roland provided Council with information regarding leglslation currencly under consideration which would have significant impact on the City's abillty to levy taxes. She explained new measures would have the greatest impact on cit~~s which were in growth stages. Discussion ensued regarding possible impacts on ?armlngton and its ability to provide serVlces ~o residents. It was the consensus of Council a letter be drafted to legislators expressing the City's concerns of the City. City Administracor Erar urged Councilmembers to telephone representatives Q~ t:he :::"':.lC and Legislature to voice their concerns. 10. Storm Sewer Assessment Policy City Engineer Mann explained the City's current assessment policy for storm sewer improvements in existing developments. He noted that the information provided in his memo may be helpful during the Henderson Storm Sewer project public hearing. 11. Fence Ordinance Amendment The amendment was being driven because of the increase in variance requests brought to the Planning Commission for six foot fences. Planner Smick explained the Planning Commission's reasoning for denying six foot fences on street sides of corner lots. A great deal of discussion took place about visibility, materials used and disadvantages to corner lot owners. It was noted that a survey of surrounding communities had indicated a 4 foot height limit on corner lots was common practice. Planning Commission Member Larson was in the audience and was asked for his interpretation of Planning Commission reasoning for the 4 foot height limit. He noted that one concern was the tunneling effect which 6 foot fences would create in neighborhoods. He also noted concerns regarding visibility at intersections. Mayor Ristow stated he would not support the 6 foot height limitation. Several suggestions were made for locating and allowing 6 foot street side fences. MOTION by Gamer, second by Fitch to table action on the ordinance amendment until Planner Smick could incorporate suggested language changes and review those changes with the Planning Commission. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 12. City/Township Recreational Programming Issues Parks and Recreation Director Bell stated this item had been generated by a request from a township resldent for a City puppet wagon performance in the township. Since there was no established policy or fee, it was Mr. Bell's intent to request Council to establish a policy by which all township requests for Recreation programming be forwarded to the City from the township board. In addition, because of the costs involved with puppet wagon performances, a proposed resolution was forwarded which set a fee for township performances. Mayor Ristow asked whether the policy and fee had been discussed with the township prior to the meecing. Mr. Bell responded that he felt it was necessary for Council to establish a policy before he could tell the townships what the ;olicy was. After a great deal of discussion regarding communication and cooperation, a motion was made by Member Fitch and seconded by Member Cordes to approve the policy for requescing recreation programming in townships and adopt a resolution establishing a fee for puppet wagon periormances. PARAC member John Richardson was in the audience and seated that the PARAC Board had not discussed this ~opic. Mayor Ristow questioned the purpose of having Boards and Commissions if they weren't consulted on issues. After more discussion a MOTION by Fitch, second by Cordes to withdraw their original mc~ion. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Staff was directed to discuss the issue with both the ?ARAC Board and township officials. 13. Fall Clean Up Day/Purchase of Cardboard Cages Mr. Bell requested Council consider eliminating Fall Clean Up Day. Solid Waste Supervisor Klotz staced participation in the Fall event has declined significantly over the last few years. Mr. Bell also requesced funds saved by discontinui~g Fall Clean Up Day be used to purchase another cage for commercial cardboard recy-_ing. Mayor Ristow quest~oned whether it would be more economical to have the Ci=- s recycling provider collect cardboard as well. Mr. Bell noted it was not p~~c of the current contract. :':r. Klotz stated that while the cost of cardboard was currently down, the City was not losing money on the service. MOTION by Cordes, second by Fitch to eliminate ?all Clean Up Day. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Fitch, second by Cordes to approve the purchase of a cardboard recycling cage. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 14. Development Agreement and Process Revisions City Administrator Erar stated the proposed changes would help streamline the development process. Planning Coordinator Smick explained the most notable change would be the elimination of two public hearings for plat approval. The only public hearing would be neld by the Planning Commission, however, final approval would be granted by Council during a regularly scheduled Council meeting. It was Council's consensus that this change would be appropriate, provided the hearing notice contained a statement indicating Council would approve the plat at a later date and that the Planning Commission Chair or Planning Coordinator inform those present at the public hearing of the same. Changes in the Development Agreement were reviewed by City Engineer Mann. Those changes dealt with hours of operation, provision of Class 5 driveway entrances into building sites, and control of weeds on vacant lots within the development. These requirements would be the responsibility of the developer. Council agreed the changes would be appropriate. 15. Pine Ridge Forest Development Agreement Planning Coordinator Smick advised Council that the proposed development agreement had been prepared to include requirements made by staff, Planning Commission, and Council, and had been reviewed by both the developer and City Attorney. MOTION by Fitch, second by Gamer to adopt RESOLUTION NO. R56-97 approving the signing of a development agreement for Pine Ridge Forest Addition. VOTING FOR: Fitch, Strachan, Cordes, Gamer.

Siebenaler Chief of Police SUBJECT: Animal Licensing DATE: May 19. 1997 INTRODUCTION Earlier this year the City Council, at the recommendation of the Chief of Police, amended the City Animal Ordinance to allow for the late fees and enforcement surcharges for animal licensing. In addition Council authorized the hiring of an Intern to conduct animal licensing enforcement. This memo will serve as a follow up to that action. DISCUSSION The 1997 Budget projected revenues from animal licensing at $1100. This figure is consistent with past years revenues. After the Ordinance Amendment and the associated publicity animal license sales began to soar. As of this date the City has sold 586 dog licenses. This compares to a maximum of 170 in previous years. These sales have generated in excess of $4,000 in revenues. Councilmembers will recall that the Intern to be hired will be funded through these excess revenues. This position has been advertised and applications are being accepted. Staff projects a start date of approximately June 16, 1996. Once that enforcement begins there will be an additional enforcement surcharge of$25.00 attached to each dog failing to comply with licensing requirements. Residents may still obtain a dog license voluntarily and avoid the enforcement surcharge. Licenses may be purchased at the Police Deoartment during business hours. ACTION REOUESTED Information only.

Eagle's Site Plan DATE: May 19. 1997 INTRODUCTION The proposed vacation is located in Block 25, Lots, L 2 and 3 and Block 28. Lot 6 where the Eagle's Club building is proposed, The vacation includes Main Street and the alley to the north. DISCUSSION At this time, the surveyor for the Eagle's project has not submitted the required legal description to prepare the vacation process for Main Street and the alley. Therefore, it is recommended that the public hearing be continued to the June 2nd City Council meeting in order to receive the required information and complete the vacation documents. In an issue related to the Eagle's site plan. Steve Finden, ovmer of Dakota Lumber, has contacted the City concerning the CP rail spur and right-of-way located on the plan. Mr. Finden is concerned that the Eagle's project will eliminate access for rail transportation from his property to the main rail line from the spur located on the Eagle's property. The spur is not currently being used and CP rail has required that the spur be upgraded to current standards ifit was reactived. It has been determined that the Eagle's have received a 99 year lease from CP rail to remove the spur line on their propeny and construct a parking lot. Mr. Finden was directed by the City to discuss the issue with CP rail. since this concern is not a City responsibility. ACTION REQUIRED Continue the public hearing to June 2, 1907 in order to reC..:lve the required legal description and complete the vacation of Main Street and the alley on the Eagle' s Site Plan. 0~ CitlJ of FarminfJton 325 Oaft Street.

Project 96-2 DATE: May 19, 1997 INTRODUCTION On April 21. 1997, the Council accepted the feasibility study and ordered a Public Hearing for the Henderson Area Storm Sewer Project, Project 96-2. DISCUSSION The feasibility study presented at the April 21, 1997 Council meeting presented the design issues and parameters for installing storm sewer in the Henderson area. The construction of storm sewer in the Henderson area would address drainage and groundwater issues that have been identified in Farmington's 1993 Facilities Plan. Currently, this area has no storm sewer. large areas of overland flow and high groundwater. The lack of an adequate drainage system contributes to street deterioration and presents safety concerns with ponding and ice, especiaHy at the low area on Hickory between 7th and 8th Street. The storm sewer would be constructed between 7th and 10th Street. generally along the alignment of Hickory Street. BUDGET IMPACT ::he estimated total project cost iU39i .900.)Per the City's assessment pOllcy. (see attached memo from May 5, 1997 meeting), 100%'oithe lateral storm sewer costs would be assessed }lgainst the ben~~ropenies. The estimated assessment for benefiting residential properties is ~"'~cQ p~r <,b.W~t. The estimated assessment for commercial property, multi-family property and the MflDOT right of way is $6570 per acre.

An appraiser was contracted to determine the value increase to the properties provided by the proposed storm sewer improvements. The proposed assessments are within the value increase determined by the appraiser. The costs identified to be assessed would be assessed over a 10 or 15 year period. The City's share of the cost would be funded by the Storm Water Trunk Fund. RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Council decide to accept or reject the project. 2. If the project is accepted; · Adopt a resolution ordering the project and authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications . · Continue the public hearing to the June 2nd meeting. There was a typographical error and some clarifying information that needs to be corrected on the Notice of Public Hearing. Continuing [he hearing will not affect the Council's decision, however, the hearing needs to be continued and corrected notices sent out in order to insure that the statutory requirements of Minnesota Statute 429 are met. This course of action was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Respectfully submitted, ~ f1/l ~ Lee M. Mann. P.E.

Director of Public Works/City Engineer TO: SUBJECT: Storm Sewer Assessme::t Policy DATE: ~ay 5. 1997 INTRODUCTION This memo is presented to Council for informational purposes regarding the current City policy on assessing storn: sewer improvements. DISCUSSION Attached is the City of Farmington Assessment/Improvement Policy. Following is a discussion of the policy regarding storm sewer assessments, in both existing and new developments. A. Existing Developments Section VI in the Assessment/Improvement Policy addresses improvements in eXlstmg developments. In this section, storm sewer improvements are divided into two categories, trunk and lateral. Lateral storm sewer is further split into two differently assessable categories. The policy states that the costs for Storm Sewer Trunk shall be 100% financed by the City. Therefore, storm sewer trunk costs are not assessable against benefiting properties. There are two different cases for storm sewer lateral. The costs for a New5torm Sewer Lateral Enhancing Existing System are 35 % assessed against the benefiting properties and the City finances the remaining 65 %. This case occurs when there is alreaay a storm sewer system in place and additions or upgrades are installed. The costs for New Storm Sewer Laterals are assessed 100% against the benefiting properties. This case occurs when there is no storm sewer currently and a new storm sewer system is installed in an area. Lateral costs are assessed per buildable lot in the area that drains to the storm sewer system (both cases). This is the policy that is currently in effect and the staff follows these guidelines when preparing the assessment rolls. CitlJ. of FarminfJ.ton 325 Oak Street · Farminqton, MN 55024 · (612) 463.7711 · Far (612) 463.2591 B. New Developments Section V in the Assessment/Improvement Policy addresses improvements in new developments. In new developments. the intent of City Policy is that no developmental costs are incurred by existing lots or parcels or by the City in genera1. Therefore, the storm sewer costs for the development are borne by the developer. The exception is for Lrnprovements which are determined to have an area wide benefit which exceeds the scope of the development. Each development is charged a Surface Water Management fee. This fee is intended to fund past. present or future storm sewer costs of trunk improvements that provide an area wide benefit as shown in the City's Surface Water Management Plan. When a developer constructs storm sewer improvements that are identified in t..'1e Surfac~ Water Management Plan as trunk improvements. the developer receives a credit against his surface water management fee to cover the costs of those trunk improvements. BUDGET IMPACT The City has two sources of revenue to fund storm sewer improvements. As outlined above, a Surface Water Management fee is charged to all new developments that is intended to fund the trunk storm sewer improvements identified in the City's Surface Water Management Plan. The second source of revenue is the City's storm water utility fee. This fee was adopted in 1990 as a funding mechanism for storm sewer maintenance and construction in the existing areas of Farmington.

'[ a. B o ~ <6 a. TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: John F. Erar, City Administrator SUBJECT: Train Whistles DATE: May 19.1997 At the May 5, 1997 Council meeting, preliminary information was provided to Council relative to resident complaints concerning the sounding of train whistles in the early morning hours. This issue as discussed is difficult due to a number of legal and public safety issues which essentially grants the railroad the right to blow the whistle when public safety, in the judgement of the conductor, is jeopardized. DISCUSSION Conversations with Mr. Greg Harshaw, Deputy Regional Administrator for the Federal Railway Administration (FRA), suggest that this issue, and related issues are being reviewed under the new regulations. Issues which complicate this matter, again, are factors related to public safety and City liability issues. Under current law, railroads are required to sound their horns using a sequence of 2 10ng-2 short- 1 long blasts. There are no standards dileneating the length or duration of each blast other than the requirement that the horns are sounded a ~ mile before each crossing and are required to be a minimum of 96 decibels at 100 feet forward of the cab with no maximum decibels prescribed. Accordingly, the horn tone, under current law, can be as loud as the railroad determines appropriate. One other aspect of this issue also suggests continued disturbance due to the fact that new trains are now being placed in service with horns that are automatically sequenced. This new system, according to the FRA official. produces a tonal quality which might be more chafing and in. some cases, louder than the previous manual horn sounding system. Accordingly, this change m the horn system. will produce additional concerns. One other issue which should be briefly addressed is the banning of train whistles within atfected communities. Attached, please find information related to this issue and how other communities have this ban. A study conducted by the FRA in the state of Florida concluded that night time accidents at 511 crossings where a ban had been introduced since 1984 tripled (the study was conducted in 1990). In contrast. nighttime accidents at crossings over a five year period where whistleblowing occurred increased by 23 percent. According to the FRA official. accidents did increase substantially at crossing where bans were imposed. CitlJ. of Farmintj.ton 325 Oak Street. Farmintjton, MN 5502~ · (612) ~63.7111 · Fair (612) 463.2591 Mayor and Council Train \Vhistles Page 2 01'2 Finally, the City may have the ability to enact a "quiet" zone at the Elm Street crossing where a new quadrant crossing gate will be installed either late this year or early 1998. This may potentially allow the City to enact a whistle blowing "ban" at this location according to my conversations with the FRA, however, there could still be legal and insurance liability issues ~ . which would need to be addressed prior to any definitive action being taken by Council. If Council were to take this action. it would be recommended that the City Attorney and the City's insurance carrier be contacted and asked to submit a wrinen opiniOI1/statement from a liability standpoint to ensure coverage. BUDGET IMP ACT None. ACTION REQUESTED According to information obtained, the next step would be to contact Congressman Luther's office and ask for assistance in this matter. Prior to that contact. however. it may helpful to accurately identify when the sounding of the train horns are above normal in the opinion of affected residents, and related direction from Council in terms of what type of action to request from the Congressman's office. This could include a meeting moderated by a member of the Congressman's staff with elected officials, a letter or simply a phone call from the Congressman' s office to CP Rail notifying them of our concerns.

You will note from these materials that there is very little support for whistle bans and any attempts to achieve such a result is an uphill battle. I have included a copy of Section 302 of Public Law 103-440 which was enacted by Congress and signed by the President in 1994. This law in effect turns all regulation of railroad whistles over to the Federal Railroad Authority. The regulations that were supposed to be issued in 1996 still have not, to my knowledge, been adopted. An extension was apparently granted. As we discussed in our recent telephone conversation. Coon Rapids has been attempting to get the jump on these regulations by working with FRA. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. and other jurisdictions with roadways in the City, MNDOT and Anoka County to develop a pilot program for some ofthe crossings in the City. We are hoping that the pilot program will demonstrate that crossings can be safe without the need to blow whistles. To be perfectly honest. neither the FRA nor the railroad were particularly interested in talking about this subject before the City received support from Congressman Luther. Without the cooperation of both FRA and the railroad there can be no effective whistle ban. I have also included ordinances from Plymouth and Minneapolis. Minneapolis actually has very few at grade crossings and Plymouth does not have a major rail line. The railroad through Plymouth. not BNSF has cooperated with the City to some extent. but apparently Plymouth does not do much by way of enforcement even when whistles are blown. The rail line that goes thrOlLn Plymouth is not very heavily used. In any event. the Federal re:.;ulations will apparently preempt all prior whistle ban ordinances. 11155 ROBINSON DRIVE.

FAX (612) 767-6491 John Erar City Administrator May 1, 1997 Page 2 The City has engaged an outside engineering firm to put together a proposal for the pilot program that hopefully will be acceptable to the railroad and the FRA. The proposal will likely include a combination of medians and four quadrant gates. The FRA representative who has attended out meetings, the latest this past January, seemed to feel this might be acceptable although he had no authority to make any decisions. Even if the railroad and the FRA does agree to our proposal. there may be some design issues to work out, such as the dimensions of the medians. There will no doubt also be some funding questions to be answered as neither MNDOT nor Anoka County seemed willing to contribute much if any money to the project. We expect the engineers' report soon, after which decisions will have to be made. I will keep you up to date as things develop. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

By Robert FnaIdia tatT Writer Goodview, Minn.. has learned thatit. can't ticket a train engineer for vio-- lating its "no-whistle" zone. So following a judge's decision. the locomotive's air horns are back to. full blast in the Winona CountY citY ; of 3.000 along the ~ppi River. Residents say the nOise bounces off nearby bluffs. interru~g back-~ conversations and waking people~1J) the middle of the nighL . The citY may even ask Congress ~or help in quieting the 10 to 20 Soo Line. and Amtrak trains that whistle their~ way past the town's two railroad crossings every day. "These crossings are protected. light._ cd with crossing arms." said City. Manager Daryl Zimmer. "There's no . imminent danger in most cases of- anything happening." But the railroad sees it as a safetY issue. "A gate and a signal do not ensure that somebody won't get killed or injured at a crossing." said- John Bergene, a Minneapolis spokes.- man for CP Rail System. which owns the 500 Line. He said a study done a few years ago found that in one year. 12 motorists who had driven around crossing gateS were hit by trains along - the Soo Line's 5,000 miles ofuack. Goodview followed the lead of near" by Winona in enacting a no-whistle ordinance. and trains were fairly qui- et for almost a year. Zimmer said. Late last year, however, a Goodview police officer filed a citation against an engmeer he identified by locom~ tive number. The railroad objected. saying the ordinance was preempted by a federal law that allows whistles to be blown. Winona CountY District Whistles continued on page 2B Whistles/ With ordinance no longer in effect, noise returns CODtiaed fnnD pap 18 Judge Dennis Cballeen agreed. "So the orrlin.~ for the momenL is no longer in force. and we have returned to blowing whistles." Ber- gene said. The railroad continues to honor ordi- nances that are in effect in towns such as Winona and the Minneapolis suburb of Plymouth. but engineers sound their homs whenever they see a potential problem. such as a person or animal near the tracks or drivers who look as though they might not stop at a crossing. Meanwhile. there is some suspicion in Goodview that Soo Line engineers are giving the town the full blast. "You could put it that way." Zimmer said. "I think they're making a pomL yes. ... The one panicular crossing [where a noise protester lives I does receive some pretty loud. long blasts. " Bergene said that "liabilitY's a factor in this. too. Without an , nance. we're gomg to. clow ana that horn to its maximum as a s; device. " But he said engineers are not goil use their horns more than nec~ because "they have to listen t too."

Parks and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Recreation Programming in Townships DATE: May 19. 1997 INTRODUCTION Staff received a request from an Empire Township resident to have a puppet wagon performance conducted in the township, DISCUSSION A policy should be established to deal with this type of request. Areas which should be considered are the reimbursement of City expenses and the procedure for township residents to follow when initiating a request. Staff contacted Terry Holmes of the Empire Town Board to discuss the proposed policy. Mr. Holmes indicated a policy should be established so the Town Board would be aware of any events within their jurisdiction and agreed the City should charge for the service. The P ARAC discussed the policy at their May 12. 1997 meeting. They approved the policy and recommended it be forwarded to Council for approval.. BUDGET IMPACT The cost of the program must be considered. In addition to the costs incurred in constructing and maintaining the puppet wagon, puppets and props, a City vehicle is needed to transport the puppet wagon to yarious performance locations. Each performance r~quires a minimum of two summer Recreation employees (more depending upon the number of characters in each play). preparation time [practice. designing and finding props) plus the time actually spent performing and traveling from site to site. The 1997 Budget does not include costs for any performances other than those scheduled within the City's park system. ACTION REQUESTED .

Introduction The City Council has requested this report to determine the feasibility of extending Elm Street to the east of Trunk Highway 3 and then south to Ninth Street. The proposed improvements will serve the proposed South Suburban Medical Center Clinic located south of the existing hospital. This report describes the sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main, and street improvements required to serve the clinic. The proposed street and storm sewer improvements are shown on Figure 2; sanitary sewer and water main improvements are shown on Figure 3. The costs of the improvements are presented in the appendices of this report and a cost summary is presented in the Cost Analysis section. II. Summary and Recommendations The construction of sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main, and street to serve the proposed Clinic is feasible from an engineering standpoint. The project is necessary because utilities and street do not currently exist to serve the site. The capital cost as well as operation and maintenance costs have been considered in determi~ing that the project is cost effective. The cost of the improvements should be assigned to the benefiting property, South Suburban Medical Center Clinic. The following recommendations are presented for consideration by the Farmington City Council: 1. That this report be adopted as a guide for street construction and installation of sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water main to serve the South Suburban Medical Center Clinic. 2. That the South Suburban Medical Center Clinic sign an Agreement of Assessment and Waiver of Irregularity and Appeal. 3. That the City order plans and specifications for the project. 4 III. Street and Storm Sewer The proposed street and storm sewer for the South Suburban Medical Center Clinic are shown on Figure 2. Based on a review of the project site, the route shown on the figure is recommended from a construction standpoint. Access to the Farmington Clinic would be provided by extending Elm Street east of Trunk Highway 3 and curving to the south connecting to Ninth Street at Oak Street. Elm Street will be constructed to a 7-ton design, 38 feet back-to-back, with surmountable concrete curb and gutter. The typical street section shown on Figure 2 is as follows: 3 Y2" Bituminous pavement 8" Class 5 aggregate base 2' Select granular borrow The existing Trunk Highway 3 frontage road south of the proposed Elm Street extension will be reconstructed and realigned as shown on Figure 2. The frontage road will be constructed 28 feet wide with surmountable curb on the east side and a 2-foot gravel shoulder on the west side using the typical section shown above. A right-turn. lane will be added to the northbound lane of Trunk Highway 3 to allow access to Elm Street. The turn lane will be constructed to match the existing highway section. The traffic signal at Elm Street and Trunk Highway 3 will require modifications to accommodate the east leg of the intersection. Storm sewer exists in the northwest comer of Ninth and Oak Street. Flows to the existing system are directed southerly along Ninth Street. A catch basin will be added east of the existing catch basin in the proposed curb. Additional storm sewer will be extended west of the existing catch basin to provide drainage to the properties west of the project. The majority of the site will drain to the north and west. Catch basins will be installed on both sides of Elm Street near the frontage Road intersection. Storm sewer will extend northerly from the catch basins along the east side of Trunk Highway 3. The sewer will then be jacked westerly under the roadway and connected to an existing manhole in the median of trunk Highway 3 near Main Street. 5 IV. Sanitary Sewer and Water Main The proposed sanitary sewer and water main to serve the South Suburban Medical Center Clinic are shown on Figure 3. The alignments shown on the figure are recommended based on existing utilities and from a construction standpoint. Sanitary sewer will be extended north and west from an existing stub on Ninth Street north of Oak Street. The sewer alignment will follow the centerline of Elm Street for approximately 400 feet then extend northerly to an existing manhole west of the existing hospital. An 8-inch service will be provided to the clinic and three 4-inch services will be installed west of Elm Street for future development. An 8-inch water main will be installed from an existing 8-inch stub on Ninth Street to an -~. -- - existing 8-inch water main east of Trunk Highway 3. Three I-inch copper services will be provided for future development west of Elm Street. The clinic will be served by 8-inch ductilediron and 2-inch copper stubs. 6 _U CSAH 50 25+00 2'+00 - - ---+--- - --+-- - --+-- - ---+-- - ELM ST. I \ I l'0 \ I I ....= \ .......... 0 l!)

TO: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator~ FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Akin Park 2nd Addition Storm Sewer Improvements DATE: May 19, 1997 INTRODUCTION There is an ongoing storm sewer issue in Akin Park 2nd Addition located between Akin Road Elementary and several residents that line along 193rd Street. DISCUSSION Between the pond that lies on the northern boundary of the school property and the residents that live along 193rd Street, are two storm sewer outlets and swales that convey storm water from 193rd Street to the pond. The storm sewer outlets discharge into the swales approximately midway between the homes and the pond. Over the past several years, the residents have complained about the condition that the swales have been left in by the developer. At this time we have an agreement from the developer to come in, regrade the swales to drain, sod the swales, and remove the silt from the pond that has built up from the 4th Addition and the erosion from the swales. Staff has determined that this work is the extent of the developer's responsibility in regard to these swales, based on the approved engineering plans. Staff has additional concerns about these swales. There is a high likelihood that even if sodded, these swales will erode in the future. It is not desirable to have an ongoing maintenance problem with these swales due to the inconvenience to the homeowners and cost to the City. Staff has identified improvements to the design of these swales that would minimize future maintenance. The existing pipes could be extended towards the existing pond approximately fifty to sixty feet and the remaining swale would need to be rip-rapped for erosion control. Extension of these pipes would move the storm sewer system farther away from the homes and provide the homeowners with more usable back yard. CitlJ of Farmint)ton 325 Oak Street · Farmintjton, MN 5502~ · (612) ~63. 7111 · FaJr (612) 463.2591 BUDGET IMPACT Staff has estimated the cost of this work to be approximately $14,700 which includes 10% for contingencies and 25% for legal/engineering/administration. At the meeting, quotes from contractors will be presented. There are three possible options for funding these improvements. 1. The residents could submit a signed petition requesting the improvement stating that they would pay for 100% of the costs of the improvement and waive their rights to a public hearing and appeal. 2. Since these improvements would provide a benefit to the adjacent homeowners, the Council could elect to assess 35 % of the cost of these improvements. Thirty five percent of the estimated cost for the improvements is 55,150. Further study would be needed to determine how this would be assessed. The balance of the project costs would then be picked up by the City ($9,559). This option would require the full process set forth by Minnesota Statute 429. - - 3. The Council could decide to have the City pay for 100% of the cost of improvements. Any City funding of the improvements would come from the Storm Water Trunk Fund. RECOMMENDATIONS That Council decide whether the improvements should be made and how they would be funded. . If funding option #1 is chosen, no action is required until the petition is submitted. · If funding option #2 is chosen, the Council will need. to adopt a resolution setting a date for a public hearing on the project. The June 16, 1997 meeting would be the earliest a public hearing could be scheduled. · If funding option #3 is chosen, the Council would need to adopt a resolution ordering the project, stating that the City would pay for the costs of the improvements. At this time, staff recommends funding option #3. It is staff's opinion that it may be difficult to justify benefit that would be assessable to property owners under the City's Assessment Policy. Since the homeowners in question have already been assessed for storm sewer through the developer and it is clear that it would have been better for the City to have required the developer to extend the pipes initially, it is staff's opinion that the problem will be best resolved by the City funding the improvements.

DISCUSSION The trail along 193 rd Street, between the 5~ I 0 residence and the new County Road 31 alignment requires repair.. The following work is necessary: . Patch the damaged portions . Cut out along the driveways for a better transition in the matting process. . Mat the entire length to remove as many low areas as possible. . Restore the adjacent property to its original condition after the matting process. Staff has discussed the repairs with the developer and City Attorney. After considerable discussion it was concluded that the City do the repairs "ith City funds for the following reasons: . The present developer was not involved mth the plat during original construction of the trail. . The trail was in good condition prior to the homes being built and damage may have occurred as a result of home construction. Staff is reviewing policy with the P ARAC to determine a solution to future problems of this nature. BUDGET IMPACT The funding for this project was included in the Park Improvement Fund Budget reviewed by Council. Engineering estimates the cost to be $~,880.
