Following completion of the draft 2040 Comp Plan update, staff recommended development of a plan for one of Farmington's oldest commercial corridors along Highway 3. This is an off-shoot of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan which calls for strengthening the connections to downtown at key gateway areas. A review committee consisting of two EDA members, one Planning Commission member, and staff from planning and community development reviewed the five submitted proposals from qualified firms and recommends the attached project proposal from WSB &Associates at fixed fee of$39,995. This proposal ranked highest within the committee with a combined score of 89 out of 100 possible points. The Dakota County Community Development Agency(CDA) Board approved Farmington's Redevelopment Incentive Grant(RIG) application for$15,000 which will be matched by Farmington's 2018 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funds ($15,000). The additional dollars needed for the plan ($9,995)will come from the EDA's fund balance as a budgeted expense. Upon acceptance of the review committee's recommendation, staff will forward a contract to City Council for consideration at their October 1st meeting. Work would begin on the corridor plan immediately upon contract approval. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend the attached proposal and recommend the City Council enter into a contract for services with WSB &Associates in the amount of$39,995.

(WSB)is pleased to submit the following proposal to the City of Farmington for the preparation of a Corridor Plan for the Highway 3 Corridor.This project presents an opportunity to pro-actively plan for and set the stage for future development along a key corridor through the City. We understand the City seeks a corridor plan that is rooted in market realities which align with the City's goals and objectives.We also understand that to be successful,the plan must involve robust input from stakeholders.Our team includes public engagement leaders who will design an innovative process to engage all parties to create a plan that works. As Project Manager, I will lead the multi-disciplinary team from WSB.Our collaborative team brings the following advantages to your project: Transportation Knowledge:Our City,County,and MnDOT corridor planning experience means that we understand the challenges inherent in the redevelopment of multi-jurisdictional commercial corridors. We know first-hand the importance of integrating planning, urban design,transportation,economic development,infrastructure,and environmental variables into any solution. Our work as day-to-day planners in many cities around the region also means we bring a unique understanding of what it takes to implement a redevelopment plan. Leveraging Technology for Plans that Work:The WSB planning approach includes a robust backing of technological tools.With this plan we propose to use a site called Social Pinpoint.Social Pinpoint is a very flexible engagement tool, both intuitive and interactive.This platform allows for a range of filters and data mining to extract useful information and identify whether participants are local, nearby, distant.Additionally, it can host surveys,images, GIS information, maps, plans,aerial images,and photos to articulate issues and questions to the community as well as to collect data.This is a very useful tool and is perfectly suited for the Highway 3 Corridor project. Public Involvement-Early and Often:The engagement experts at WSB bring unmatched enthusiasm and creativity to involving stakeholders in the planning process.We will develop a down-to-earth, approachable set of activities and opportunities for the stakeholders to engage in the planning process, depending on their interests and desired level of involvement.The planning team will make the design process accessible to all with a variety of in-person and online tools. Thank you for the opportunity to illustrate our capabilities.We are excited about the prospect of working with you on this project.

Project Team/8 A PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE A HIGHWAY 3 CORRIDOR PLAN FOR THE CITY OF FARMINGTON Qualifications & Experience • . t . f r v Z.. klet ]L, r sE TH 13 Corridor Study Savage, MN WSB was retained by the City of Savage and Scott County to prepare a corridor study for TH 13. The primary purpose of the project was to identify a long-term solution for improvements to TH 13 near Dakota Avenue and Yosemite Avenue to improve the function of TH 13 as a principal arterial roadway and regional mobility corridor. TH 13 runs through the City of Savage and is a heavy east/west commuter corridor that connects US 169 to I-35W. In addition, TH 13 has a very high level of truck freight serving as the connection to the Port of Savage, an international truck-, rail-, and barge- served agricultural commodity terminal. As such, TH 13 has been identified as one of Minnesota's highest priority freight corridors. Frequent left turns in and out of the Port area combined with a steady flow of trucks and freight lines converging on the Port have created congestion and safety issues along the TH 13 corridor. Approximately 48,000 vehicles travel along TH 13 near the Port per day. Metropolitan Council has forecasted that the vehicles per day rate will increase to 58,000 by 2040. The project addressed safety, access, mobility, and the economic vitality of truck freight in and out of the Port.WSB developed design concepts and prepared an evaluation matrix of traffic, safety, freight, environmental, cost, and other factors to assist the City of Savage, Scott County, MnDOT, and businesses along the corridor to assess the various concepts. This project also included a robust public involvement effort, including eight Study Management Team (SMT) meetings, three railroad meetings, eight one-on-one meetings with property owners, group setting public meetings, and periodic reports to the Savage City Council and Scott County Board.

Bob Slipka, PLA, Lead Landscape Architect, worked with MnDOT, WSN, and the task force to develop a process with implemental results. The project began with a Complete Streets Study to help establish which modes of transportation would potentially utilize the corridor and how best to fit them in the existing right of way to minimize acquisition costs. The proposed Mesabi Trail extension through town and overall pedestrian safety were the highest priorities identified by the Task Force for aiding in redeveloping Main Street and creating a tourism destination for the region. The study explored a variety of design features including on-street bike lanes, bump outs and mid-block crossings, improved pedestrian zones, and dedicated amenity zones. Following the study, Bob also facilitated the Visual Quality Process. Task Force meetings along with open houses with the public and stakeholders were conducted to understand the desired level of development in the pedestrian zones. Discussions focused on materials, plantings, maintenance, and funding opportunities. The Visual Quality Process established design recommendations for sidewalk widths as well as tree plantings, movable planters, benches, and trash receptacles along the business blocks. Entry monuments and gateway features were also proposed as part of the design. A final Visual Quality Manual was developed summarizing the Completes Streets and Visual Quality Process in parallel with 40% preliminary plans. WSB, led by Bob Slipka, was retained to prepare construction documents for the pedestrian zones which included final design of street lighting, walks, pedestrian zones, amenity zones, and intersection bump-outs as well as the selection of site furniture.

CSAH 42 is a principal arterial route that serves multiple counties in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The area surrounding CSAH 42 is partially developed but has not grown to the extent anticipated when the City last updated its comprehensive plan in 2008. In his role as a land use planner, Eric Maass was charged with reevaluating future land uses near the corridor(including some land under the jurisdiction of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community)which were reflective of market conditions, contribute to the long-term health of the community, and support the existing high quality of life in the area. As part of the study, future needs on CSAH 42 and the supporting roadway and trail network were also to be identified. WSB's future land use plan included a market analysis, review of surrounding land uses within Prior Lake as well as adjacent communities, and dialogue with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The ultimate plan provided flexibility to a mix of land use districts for developing their property in the future while preserving some areas as open space due to environmental and infrastructure constraints. Along with developing the associated land uses, WSB updated land use designations for the city's zoning ordinance and modified access policies for the area.The transportation network identified improvements for CSAH 42 (future access, traffic signal locations, corridor expansion and trail facilities) as well as local roadway and trail connections. Future traffic volumes for the CSAH 42 and adjacent roadway network were developed utilizing the Scott County traffic model (a derivative of the Twin Cities travel demand model).

DOWNTOWN CROSS SECTION iN 8,_____________ Downtown Master Plan City of North St. Paul Erin Perdu and Bailey Krause led the public engagement effort and plan development for this public investment to redesign and revitalize Seventh Street,the main street in downtown North St Paul. Engagement included large public meetings, attendance at community events such as the local car show, and small group meetings with business owners.WSB also developed a visual preference survey,which was administered in person and online. Areas of agreement between residents and business owners were emphasized.The outcome of the effort was input on the priority issues facing the downtown, ideas on how it could be improved, and focus areas for the design. Based on this input,WSB developed the Downtown Master Plan to provide the City with a complete design concept for the road and streetscape. The Plan establishes visual quality with a refreshed and modernized street appearance; creates a pedestrian- oriented environment, supporting the business community through enhanced visibility and access; and creates a sense of place in the Downtown. The Plan is implementable and includes phasing options for the reconstruction of this vital corridor for the City.

Farmington currently has an estimated population of 22,958 and boasts an above average median household income.With a median age of 33.1, Farmington is demographically one of the youngest communities in Dakota County. A more detailed history of Farmington can be found at http://www.ci.farmington.mn.us/community/about our city/history Study Purpose: Craft a vision for the Highway 3 corridor that illustrates unique redevelopment opportunities. Farmington is embarking on a planning effort that will result in a Highway 3 Corridor Plan. Highway 3 is a state highway with many existing land use incompatibilities with a mix of residential homes and businesses.Several smaller redevelopment efforts and projects involving new construction or redevelopment of existing buildings have occurred in recent years. Scope of Service: The proposed Highway 3 Corridor Plan at a minimum must review and make recommendations on the following topics and issues. 1. Review and make recommendations regarding the existing land use designations for the Highway 3 corridor from County Road 66 to the southern border,one block on either side of Highway 3 (see project area map). 2. Review and make recommendations regarding the current zoning ordinance requirements for the project area. 3. Identify the type,scale and possible locations for additional residential,commercial and/or mixed-use projects and their preliminary market feasibility. 4. Incorporate future transportation improvements and/or pedestrian connections that may be needed or required to facilitate additional redevelopment. 5. Identify and recommend various financing tools and programs that could be considered to facilitate future redevelopment efforts. 6. Review and make recommendations on current architectural design guidelines,current streetscape design standards,signage standards and other development tools or standards currently in place. 7. Establish short, mid,and long-term goals from the recommendations made within the corridor plan.

PAUL - Minnesota's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 2.9 percent in August, according to figures released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The last time Minnesota's unemployment rate was below 3 percent was December 1999. The state's record-low unemployment rate was a seasonally adjusted 2.5 percent in both January and February 1999. The U.S. unemployment rate last month was 3.9 percent. Minnesota employers eliminated 200 jobs in August after three consecutive months of strong job growth. Over the past year, the state has added 50,904 jobs, a 1.7 percent growth rate. U.S. jobs are up 1.8 percent in the past year. "The annual job growth figures point to a state labor market that is growing strong," said DEED Commissioner Shawntera Hardy. "Among other positive signs, the number of unemployed Minnesotans last month fell below 90,000 for the first time in over 18 years." Construction led all sectors in August with a gain of 1,700 jobs, followed by government (up 1,000) and leisure and hospitality (up 400). Logging and mining held steady. Sectors losing jobs were education and health services (down 1,000), manufacturing (down 900), trade, transportation and utilities (down 600), information (down 200), financial activities (down 200), professional and business services (down 200) and other services (down 200). Over the past year, leisure and hospitality gained 11,802 jobs to lead all sectors. Other industries gaining jobs in the past 12 months were trade, transportation and utilities (up 8,328), education and health services (up 8,024), manufacturing (up 7,439), construction (up 6,825), professional and business services (up 5,607), government (up 4,903) and logging and mining (up 8). Three industries lost jobs in the past year: other services (down 1,030), information (down 724) and financial activities (down 278). In the Metropolitan Statistical Areas, four of the five regions registered unadjusted over-the-year growth. The highest growth rate came from the Mankato MSA (up 4.3 percent), followed by Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA (up 2 percent), St. Cloud MSA (up 1.8 percent) and Duluth-Superior MSA (up 1.7 percent. The Rochester MSA was down 0.4 percent. DEED has added a section to its website that examines the unemployment rate by demographics (race, age and gender) and looks at alternative measures of unemployment.

Many communities are ready to protect their unique character,deeply engage their citizens,and meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Economic Development is one of those challenges,and citizens can assist with it by shopping locally and creating awareness to other citizens about the businesses within the City."
