PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSAL FOR THE ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS TO FINANCE A MULTIFAMILY RENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT (PRESBYTERIAN HOMES HOUSING AND ASSISTED LIVING INC PROJECT) PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA LAW The City Manager recommended additional wording to paragraph 5 of Item 7(b) 1. This additional language would clearly indicate that issuance of bonds is contingent upon the execution of the supplemental development agreement. A motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to open the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. passed unanimously. 02/12/96 - 5 - Brett A. Perry, 8525 Edinbrook Crossing, #201 in Brooklyn Park, is legal counsel for Mahendra Nash, a prospective buyer of the property located at 6100 Summit Drive North. He explained he and o Mr. Nath were attending tonight's meeting to express opposition of proposed issuance of revenue bonds. He wanted to ensure that Council was aware there are prospective buyers who are ready, willing, and able to proceed with the purchase of said property without requesting City financing. He requested the City not expend its limited authority to issue the bonds when there is a potential buyer, Mr. Nath, who is ready, willing, and able to purchase the property on market terms. He stated market terms should take precedence when a purchase is feasible by someone such as Mr. Nath, adding this type of project is one the City should not be involved. He distributed a packet of information to each Council member providing information regarding Mr. Nath's business qualifications. Mayor Kragness inquired as to the date the letter of intent was sent to the City. Mr. Nath said December 1995. Mahendra Nath, 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 800, in St. Louis Park, addressed the Council regarding his past and present business investments and respective qualifications pertaining to his ability to purchase and manage the property. A motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to close the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. passed unanimously. Councilmember Carmody inquired about any time limitations that pertained to issuance of the bonds and whether the item could be held for further consideration. The City Manager responded the time 0 limitations relate to Presbyterian Homes being ready to close. Since the company who holds the title has arranged a transaction to address the City receiving approximately $1.5 million in delinquent taxes owed to the respective TIF district that we would issue the bonds. If an alternate plan of action was designed to purchase said property, time lines of closure on such a transaction and receipt of the delinquent taxes would not be known. Since the City doesn't own the property, its primary interest is to assist in facilitation of an agreement which will expedite receiving of the delinquent tax monies. Councilmember Hilstrom stated she had the opportunity to visit a property run by Presbyterian Homes and believed it was well -run. Councilmember Mann agreed with Mr. Perry that such a transaction should be market driven when at all possible, adding she was not aware when setting the public hearing that there were other buyers from the private sector interested in purchasing the property. Councilmember Mann inquired about any prospective buyer and whether delinquent taxes would be paid upon closure of the transaction. The City Manager responded that prior to the property going into foreclosure, any purchaser of the property would be required to pay the delinquent taxes. Time lines of when such a purchase of the property would transpire were in question, however. 02/12/96 -6- Councilmember Mann added she has done research on Presbyterian Homes and is aware they are very well run. However, in light of the new information presented at the meeting and the fact there are other prospective buyers, she would be unable to support the issuance of bonds.

DISCUSSION REGARDING AMENDING STREET LIGHTING POLICY The City Manager informed Council the public services department had been looking at an amendment to the street light policy which would apply to potential mid -block lighting needs. Council was requested to direct City staff accordingly regarding consideration of a mid -block lighting proposal. Councilmember Carmody stated she did not see this as a priority at this time. Councilmember Mann concurred, but believed residents need to be informed that mid -block lighting could be pursued by residents. Councilmember Carmody questioned the difference between desire and policy with respect to the City paying for mid -block lighting. The City Manager stated if the distance is sufficiently long on a given block, the City would cover the cost of mid -block lighting. The Director of Public Services added there have not been a lot of resident input/requests up until this past year. 02/12/96 -8- Councilmember Carmody inquired how and when residents are informed regarding lighting issues. The Director of Public Services stated property owners in the project area are informed either way (yes/no) whether the project was approved which is part of basic information provided to property owners. A motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Mann to leave the street lighting policy as is passed unanimously. STAFF REPORT REGARDING PROPOSED SIGNAL SYSTEM AT 69TH AND HUMBOLDT AVENUES NORTH The City Manager informed Council said item has two purposes: 1) inform Council basic information about how the design would be coming for the February 26, 1996, public hearing to not have installation of signal lighting included in the project, but to have underground conduit installed to facilitate future installation of signal lighting; and 2) clarification on how far on Humboldt Avenue residents should be specifically notified of the February, 26, 1996, public hearing. Discussion ensued amongst Council members regarding logistics of areas residents, including children, and previous meeting discussion pertaining to appropriate specific catchment area notification. Councilmember Hilstrom referred to recommended conduit installation without accompanying installation of signal lighting at the current time. She expressed concern that if/when signal lighting would be installed, a public hearing would not be required hindering future feedback/input from property owners since conduit would already be in place and would not require any road construction. Councilmember Carmody requested notification sent to property owners include information pertaining to study recommended conduit installation without signal lighting at the current time. Also if ro owners believed eved differen about having signal fighting installed at the current time PAY fiY g $n gh g , input would be received as well at the public hearing. Councilmember Mann believed residents affected by installed signal lighting would be as far as 73rd Avenue and requested respective notification of residents in this area also.

McCauley, City Manager FROM: Charlie Hansen, Finance Director CH DATE: February 21, 1996 SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the 1995 General Fund Budget to Increase Appropriations for Various Operating Departments The attached resolution adjusts the 1995 General Fund Budget so that no department exceeds its appropriation. This adjustment is necessary because of the eighteen month span of time between budget preparation and the conclusion of the budget year. In the case of some of the departments listed, it was a matter of costs being charged to departments in a different pattern than they were budgeted. In other cases, there simply were higher levels of activity than were anticipated and these costs are covered either by higher revenues or a transfer from the contingency appropriation. The City Charter allows the City Council to increase the budget, but only if there actual revenue increases to offset the increased appropriations. Lodging tax collections and the resulting payments to the North Metro Convention Bureau are running about $22,000 higher than-was anticipated in the 1995 Budget. Children's Recreation Programs experienced an increase in receipts of $4,000 to go along with its increased expenditures. In past years, the full -time recreation supervisors charged their time to a Recreation Administration Department instead of to the individual recreation programs they actually worked on. We instructed them to begin charging their time to the individual programs in 1995. The process for charging out leave hours and some other costs wasn't developed until after the 1995 budget was adopted. Those appropriations of $91,711 were placed in the Recreation Administration Department as the 1995 budget was adopted. It is now necessary to adjust the 1995 budget to move the appropriation for these costs to the individual recreation programs. The total expended for administration is no more than the amount budgeted. The attached memo prepared by Jim Glasoe and Arnie Mavis explains the needed adjustments to the Community Center budget. The allocation of Brooklyn Center's share of the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council came in at $15,136 instead of the $14,850 anticipated in the budget. The Adopted 1995 Budget originally contained $219,790 in the Contingency Account. $100,389 was used by a series of resolutions during 1995. This resolution takes $65,286 from the Contingency Account to leave a final balance of $54,115. Public Services Department i" MEMORANDUM Govt Buildings TO: Charlie Hansen Engineering FROM: Jim Glasoe Streets SUBJ: 1995 Recreation Expenditures I T O DATE: February 20, 1996 Parks T Public Utilities As requested, Arnie and I have sifted through the maze of recreation budgets looking for some rationale as to why some areas were over expended during 1995. The following are our initial findings. Recreation Concession Supplies A look at the final concession stand figures will show that 1995 was busier than we had predicted. Although revenues exceeded expectations, Central Garage so too did expenditures. Larger than anticipated increases in coffee, pop and candy prices made up the largest share of increased expenditures. Also timing of orders played a part in the bottom line. Almost $2,000 worth of inventory was carried into 1996. Operating Supplies As you know, operating supplies are often the most difficult expenditures to predict when establishing a budget. We have identified a number of items that needed replacement during the past year that were not included in the budget document. These items are used on a daily basis and were vital to effective operations. These items included two cash registers ($3,100), a popcorn machine ($1,350), a Lifecycle fitness machine ($1,300), a drinking fountain ($2,400) and banquet tables for Constitution Hall ($4,000.) In addition, we identified some expenditures in which items were purchased in bulk to assure lower prices, most items of which we still have inventory on hand. These items include wristbands ($9,000 in purchases, $2,500 in remaining inventory) and swimming goggles ($4,500 in purchases, $2,000 in remaining inventory.) Also, we identified $5,000 in expenditures that were made in lieu of cash advances to nonprofit organizations that were awarded assistance grants by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Lastly, we identified in excess of $3,000 in supply expenditures that were made for items to repair or replace building related items. These items included mirrors, door locks, faucets, thermostats etc. With the Community Center celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary in 1996, we can expect similar expenditures in the future. Contractual Services With respect to contractual services, we have noted $10,650 spent during 1995 for janitorial assistance during a time when we were unable to hire part-time employees'. There were also a large number (approximately $16,000) of unexpected expenditures that were directly related the deteriorating condition of the facilities and its mechanical systems. These items are very difficult to plan for in any budget process. They included repairs to water heaters, air - conditioning systems, pool lights, filtration systems, pumps and generators. In addition to the above, we found $5,000 in additional advertising expenditures made in an attempt to attract additional participants to recreation events, activities and programs. Utilities About the only thing more difficult to predict than failing mechanical systems is the weather. If there were a budget helper program for cities, I'm sure many communities would take advantage of it. With a summer that was warmer than normal and a fall and early winter that were cooler than usual, our expenditures for natural gas and electric were $6,000 more than expected. In addition, we found that during the conversion to budgeting by programs, no allocations were made for storm drainage costs that exceeded $4,000. This has been remedied in the 1996 budget. Although this review was made in a short amount of time, we do feel the noted areas accurately reflect why the increased expenditures were made. As always, if we can provide additional information, answer any questions, or listen to any concerns, please call. Jim/Arnie Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1995 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS FOR VARIOUS OPERATING DEPARTMENT WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter provides the City Council with the authority to transfer unencumbered appropriation balances from one office, department or agency to another within the same fund; and WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter provides the City Council with the authority to increase a budget appropriation if the actual receipts exceed the estimates, but not to exceed the actual receipts; and WHEREAS, Section 7.09 of the City Charter does provide for a contingency appropriation as a part of the General Fund Budget, and further provides that the contingency appropriation may be transferred to any other appropriation by the City Council; and WHEREAS, in the course of carrying out city operations during 1995, some departments found it necessary to operate at higher levels of activity than was anticipated in the 1995 budget. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center to amend the 1995 General Fund Budget as follows: 1. Increase the estimated revenue for Lodging Taxes by: $22,000 Increase the appropriation for Convention & Tourism by: $22,000 2.

Accordingly, plans and specifications have been prepared for this year's proposed sealcoat program. In past years, the City Council selected the use of trap rock as the material in the best interest of the City. This year it is recommended that a "buckshot" material be used. The areas to be sealcoated will be considered for reconstruction within 4 - 5 years, therefore it is not advisable to use trap rock that has a life expectancy of up to 7 years. In addition, the cost of buckshot material is typically less than trap rock. Beginning with the 1997 sealcoat program, those areas that were reconstructed in 1994 will be recommended to be sealcoated with a trap rock material. Attachment: A resolution is attached which will establish this improvement project, approve plans and specifications and direct the advertisement for bids for Improvement Project No. 1996 -09, 1996 Sealcoat Program. �J Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

Recently, as the result of a pending sale of the property, it has been discovered that a portion of the legal description adopted in the 1990 ordinance is not correct. Representatives of the property have therefore requested the City to again consider vacation of the easement with the correct description provided. Attached is a letter from the property owner's representative describing the specific request and a correct legal description of the easement. Staff has reviewed the easement and found it to be correct. Although this request is basically considered to be an administrative or "house keeping" task, the request must still follow correct legal and administrative procedures. A public hearing must therefore be held to consider the adoption of a new ordinance. Recommended City Council Action An ordinance is provided for consideration and first reading by the City Council. If the first reading is conducted, the proposed ordinance will be published along with a notice of public hearing. After the second reading and public hearing, the City Council would then consider final adoption of the ordinance. CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the day of , 1996, at 7 p.m. or as soon thereafter as may be heard at the City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, to consider vacating part of a utility and drainage easement in Lot 1, Block 1, Brookdale Square 2nd Addition. Auxiliary aids for persons with disabilities are available upon request at least 96 hours in advance. Please contact the Personnel Coordinator at 569 -3300 to make arrangements. ORDINANCE NO.

The project was established by the City Council on August 14, 1995. On November 8 and December 14, 1995, public information meetings were conducted. Project updates were presented to the Council on November 13, 1995 and January 4, 1996. On January 22, 1996, the Council adopted Resolution No. 96 -22, that received the Engineer's Feasibility Report and scheduled a public hearing for February 26, 1996 to consider these improvements. The ro osed improvements can generally be desc as f 1 p p p g y follows: replacement of the existing streets with new bituminous surfacing and concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer installation, repair and replacement of existing water and sanitary sewer mains, street light replacements, and the construction of a storm water detention basin in Orchard Park. The attached Engineer's Feasibility Report Summary describes the project improvements, costs, and schedule in more detail. Assessments In accordance with the City Council's policy regarding improvement projects in residential areas, proposed assessments have been made on a unit basis. The Council's 1996 residential unit rate for street reconstruction is $1,850 per parcel. The Council's policy regarding special assessments for storm drainage improvements provides that a specified percentage of the storm sewer costs be assessed to benefitting properties. The calculated rate proposed to be assessed for storm drainage improvements for Improvement Project 1996 -02 is $625 per parcel. The public hearing will not consider the proposed assessments. If the Council approves the Improvement Projects, a separate assessment hearing would be scheduled for September, 1996. Street Lighting The City ouncil at its February 12 1996 meeting discussed th Y ary g s e option of expanding its street lighting policy to provide for additional mid block street lights. At that time, the Council decided not to consider street lights in addition to those which would be authorized under the current policy. The project as proposed would provide for the following street lighting improvements (see Figure 6): - 25 existing street lights (which includes 2 mid -block lights) would be replaced with our standard fiberglass pole and "shoebox" fixture. - Additional mid -block lights would be added in the 3 locations which meet the current policy, but where lights are not currently located. These improvement adjustments would reduce the estimated street lighting cost shown under Figure 7, Cost and Funding Considerations, from $100,000 to $70,000. Recommended City Council Action Staff Presentation. Open the public hearing on the proposed projects, take public comment, and close the hearing. Consider the improvement projects.

The general improvement location is located between Marlin Drive on the east, Orchard Avenue on the west, the north right- of -way of 63rd Avenue on the south, and the south right -of -way of I -94 on the north. This report was prepared in accordance with previous direction of the City Council on August 14, 1995. On November 8 and December 14, 1995, public information meetings were conducted. Project updates were presented to the City Council on November 13, 1995 and January 4, 1996. On January 22, 1996, the City Council received the Engineer's Feasibility Report and scheduled a Public Hearing for February 26, 1996 to consider said improvements. Feasibility Report Summary Orchard lane East Page I PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS STREETS Improvement Project 1996 -01 All of the streets in the proposed project area are classified as local residential streets, originally constructed in conjunction with utility installations in the mid to late 1950's. All of the existing streets are very flat, without curbs and gutters. On average, the streets are 30 feet wide, with a pavement thickness of 1.5 to 3.0 inches. These streets are now showing fatigue and distress, particularly along their unprotected edges. The City's Pavement Management Program indicates that it is no longer cost - effective to continue to routinely maintain these streets (i.e., patch and sealcoat). Complete reconstruction is recommended. It is proposed to reconstruct these streets as two lane roadways measuring 30 feet, or to approximately the same as their present width. Concrete curbs and gutters and driveway aprons would be installed as part of the improvement. On -street parking would continue to be allowed in accordance with the City's parking ordinances. Existing sidewalks within the project area are located on the south side of 65th Avenue between Indiana Avenue and Orchard Avenue. Cost estimates in this report include installation of pedestrian ramps and replacement of defective sections of sidewalk. No additional sidewalks or trails are included in the cost estimates. The cost estimates in this report do include a lump sum allocation for planting boulevard trees in appropriate areas and an allocation for upgrading street lighting. No costs are included for "undergrounding" overhead power and CATV lines. STORM DRAINAGE Improvement Project 1996 -02 The existing storm sewer system serving this construction area was installed on a per development basis and is inadequate. Significant drainage problems have frequently been reported from this area after heavy rainfalls. Previously ordered hydraulic and technical studies of this drainage area have shown that additional storm sewer and retention ponds should be constructed to alleviate the frequent localized flooding. A new dry detention basin(i. e. , a basin which is normally dry and fills with water only during and after large rainfalls) is proposed to be constructed at Orchard Lane Park. Construction of the detention basin would basically consist of modifications to the existing skating rink area. An additional parallel 48" diameter storm sewer is proposed along 65th Avenue from Indiana Avenue to Orchard Avenue, as a continuation of the recommended system installed as part of the regional pond constructed at I -694 and Brooklyn Boulevard (Park and Ride Pond). Essentially, this concept provides for installation of additional storm sewers to provide additional pick -up points throughout the neighborhood, thereby allowing streets to be regraded to provide more positive drainage. Feasibility Report Summary Orchard Lane East Page 2 SANITARY SEWERS Improvement Project 1996 -03 The sanitary sewer line in 65th Avenue is a 12 inch diameter concrete pipe, whose condition as evidenced by televising, is deteriorating due to the hydrogen - sulfide gasses produced by septic sewage. All other sanitary sewers in the project area are 8 inch diameter clay pipe, installed in the mid to late 1950's. Because these sewers were constructed without gaskets in the joints, they are subject to a modest level of ground water infiltration. While there are no capacity problems, city maintenance records, along with a televised inspection of all sewers in this area document a significant tree root infiltration problem and some structural defects in the sewer mains. Surveys received from residents regarding their sewer services have supported the televised inspection observations. It is proposed that the sanitary sewer in the following streets be reconstructed in their entirety: 66th Avenue between Indiana Avenue and Noble Avenue, Winchester Lane between Indiana Avenue and Noble Avenue, 65th Avenue between Indiana Avenue and Orchard Avenue, Indiana Avenue between 63rd Avenue and 66th Avenue, Major Avenue between 64th Avenue and 65th Avenue and portions of Orchard, Kyle and Lee Avenues. An estimate for replacing approximately 195 feet of spot repairs for isolated cracked or damaged pipe has been included in the project costs. At this time, it is estimated that 195 sanitary sewer services would be replaced with the new sanitary sewer installation and 35 services at various locations would be replaced due to severe root infiltration. Additional information regarding sewer problems was received from property owners during the public participation process. Based on that information and additional review of other available information, final recommendations will be made during the final design process and project cost estimates will be revised accordingly. WATER MAINS Improvement Project 1996 -03 Water mains in the project area are predominantly 6 inch cast -iron pipe, which was the standard for water main construction during hat period. Because watermain condition cannot be inspected g P p without excavation a recise p estimate of watermain repair needs is difficult to P redict. However, utility maintenance records at this time do not indicate a substantial amount of additional replacement needs. Any watermain discovered to be in a deteriorating condition during the course of other utility construction would be replaced. Accordingly, the only water system work included in the cost estimates of this report is the replacement of the cast iron mains within areas which would be disturbed by other utility construction (sanitary sewer replacements, new storm sewer lines, etc.). Feasibility Report Summary Orchard Lane East Page 3 ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS Costs and Fundin for Street Im rovem n - g p e ts. Project No. 1996 Ol The estimated cost for roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $1,710,690. If street lighting improvements are included, the estimated cost for those roadway improvements is $1,810,690. It is proposed to levy special assessments for street improvements in accordance with the recommendations adopted by the City Council on January 22, 1996. A standard 1996 residential street assessment rate of $1,850 per residential property has been established. This rate would be assessed to all benefitted properties. City owned property at Marlin Park and Orchard Lane Park is proposed to be assessed at a 1996 commercial rate of $0.23 per square foot, for frontage at a depth of 200 feet. On this basis it is estimated that special assessments totaling $703,830 would be levied for street improvements. Since this would represent about 38 percent of the estimated total costs for street improvements, these improvements can be processed and completed in compliance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 which provides that, if special assessments in an amount totaling at least 20% of the project costs are levied against benefitted properties, then a portion or all of the project costs can be financed by the sale of a bond issue without a referendum. Based on current City policy, all project costs would be included in a bond issue, with the City's general tax levy paying the portion of the roadway improvement costs not recovered by special assessments. Costs and Funding for Storm Drainage System Improvements, Project No 1996 -02 The estimated cost for storm drainage improvements within the Orchard Lane East area is $841,100. This includes the cost of storm sewer construction and storm water dry detention basin construction. It is proposed to levy special assessments for storm drainage improvements in accordance with recommendations adopted by the City Council on January 22, 1996, which provides that 37 percent of the cost of such improvements shall be specially assessed to benefitting properties. $245,000 of the estimated cost for storm sewer includes the parallel trunk line on 65th Avenue and the dry detention basin in Orchard Park. Because these two particular drainage facilities include drainage from beyond the improvement area, they would be financed totally from the Storm Drainage Utility Fund as regional improvements. Application of this policy to properties benefitted by these improvements will result in estimated special assessments of $625 per single family residential unit. The total cost to be assessed would be $221,870. Costs and Funding for Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Improvements, Project No 1996 -03 The estimated cost of sanitary sewer repairs and /or replacements is $491,400, and the estimated costs for water main repair and /or replacements is $592,200. As previously noted, these cost estimates are preliminary at this time. However, all such costs would be funded by their respective Utility funds, in accordance with established policy for such improvements.

The project was established by the City Council on November 11, 1994 by Resolution No. 94- 249. On August 28, 1995, the City Council authorized the engineering firm of Short, Elliott, Hendrickson (SEH) to provide professional design services for this project. An informational meeting was held for property owners on December 12, 1995, and the Council was provided with a project update on January 4, 1996. On January 22, 1996, the City Council adopted resolution No. 96 -23 providing for a public hearing regarding proposed Improvement Project No. 1995 -05, 69th Avenue North, Bridge Replacement, Roadway, Storm Drainage, and Water Main Improvements. All property owners have been duly notified by certified mail of this project public hearing. Property owners along Humboldt Avenue (65th to 73rd), have also been notified by regular mail. g The proposed project, 1995 -05 would provide for roadway, bridge, storm drainage and utility improvements for 69th Avenue North from Shingle Creek Parkway to Dupont Avenue North; a distance of approximately 1.2 miles (see Figure 1). Generally the improvements would include the following: reconstruction of the roadway, bridge replacement, trunk water main installation, storm sewer, and pathway and landscaping enhancements. It is proposed to reconstruct the roadway to approximately the same pavement width with concrete curb and gutter and new bituminous surfacing. Some additional widening would occur at the intersection of Humboldt Avenue to allow for turning movements. The intersection is recommended to remain as a 4 -way stop upon completion of this project. Storm sewer would be constructed along the majority of the roadway. A trunk water distribution main installation and bridge replacement are also proposed as part of this project. The 20 inch diameter main would be constructed on 69th along the entire length of this project. The bridge over Shingle Creek would be replaced with a similar steel span type bridge. A summary of the Engineer's Feasibility Report is attached and provides more detailed and specific descriptions of these improvements. Assessments In accordance with the City Council's policy regarding improvement projects on state aid streets in mixed use areas, proposed assessments have been made on a combination of square footage and per unit basis. The proposed non - residential rate is $0.23 per square foot for frontage on 69th Avenue to a maximum depth of 200 feet. The Council's 1996 residential unit rate for street reconstruction is $1,850 per parcel. The Council's policy regarding special assessments for storm drainage improvements provides that a specified percentage of the storm sewer costs be assessed to benefitting properties. The calculated rate to be assessed for Improvement Project No. 1995- 05 is $625 per residential parcel, and $0.12 per square foot for non - residential parcels abutting 69th Avenue. The public hearing will not consider the proposed assessments. If the Council approves this improvement project, a separate Assessment hearing would be held in September of 1996. Recommended City Council Action Staff Presentation. Open the public hearing on the proposed .project, receive public comment and input, and close the public hearing. Consider the improvement project.

The proposed improvement would include the following: reconstruction of the roadway, bridge replacement, trunk water main installation, storm sewer, and pathway and landscaping enhancements. The project was established by the City Council on November 11, 1994 by resolution 94 -249. On August 2$, 4995 the City Council authorized the engineering firm of SEH, Inc. to provide professional design services for this project. Preliminary survey and design work was performed, and an informational meeting was held for property owners on December 12, 1995. A project update was provided for the Council on January 4, 1996. On January 22, 1996 the Council received the Engineer's Feasibility Report and scheduled a Public Hearing to consider said improvement on February 26, 1996. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ROADWAY 69th Avenue from Shingle Creek Parkway to Dupont Avenue North currently exists as a two lane rural design roadway. The age and condition of the pavement has progressed to the stage where rehabilitation of the roadway is considered warranted. The rural design (i.e.,no curb and gutter), does not provide for adequate drainage, and many of the adjacent properties experience standing water and poor drainage as a result. The reconstructed roadway would therefore include curb and gutter and sufficient grading to direct runoff to an improved storm sewer system. The roadway is designated as a State Aid collector roadway under the City's transportation system, and would be designed and constructed in accordance with current Minnesota Department of Transportation design standards. These standards would include curb and gutter and sufficient pavement thickness and width. It is proposed to reconstruct the roadway to approximately the same pavement width(34 feet in most locations) and provide for its continued use as a two lane roadway with parking allowed on one side of the street, and turning movements as needed. In addition, it is proposed to install chokers (i.e. narrow the roadway width) at selected intersections to discourage speeding, provide additional safety for pedestrians attempting to cross the roadway, and to add an additional aesthetic amenity. 69th Avenue Improvements - Summary of Feasibility Report Page 1 Traffic studies have suggested that traffic signals at the intersection of Humboldt Avenue N. and 69th Avenue N. may be warranted. However, upon further analysis, traffic signals are not being recommended at this time as part of this project. It is suggested that the intersection be constructed in a manner to accommodate signals at some later date, should they be desired. At present, the roadway curves quite noticeably near the bridge over Shingle Creek. These curves have often created a visibility and safety concern. As part of the reconstruction, the curves would be "flattened" to improve safety. A bicycle path along the south side of the roadway has also been proposed as part of this project. BRIDGE REPLACEMENT The existing bridge over Shingle Creek is considered structurally deficient according to Mn/DOT standards. The bridge was constructed in 1940 and is also posted for weight restrictions. Age, deterioration, and deficient structural strength warrant the replacement of this bridge. A number of other issues are also tied to the bridge replacement as well. A 16 inch diameter water main currently "hangs" from the bridge. It is anticipated that water main, gas, and any other affected utilities would be relocated appropriately. The existing bridge structure also serves as a type of hydraulic "control structure" that can regulate the amount of flow from Palmer Lake. In order to conform with DNR and Watershed requirements, it is anticipated that the bridge sizing will match the existing hydraulic conditions as much as possible. As part of the bridge replacement, the possibility of constructing the Shingle Creek trailway along the creek and beneath the new bridge was investigated. The existing trailway crosses 69th Avenue at grade level. However, to re -route the pathway underneath the bridge would require a significant change in the design of the bridge. In addition to the hydraulic design requirements, the bridge elevation would have to be raised significantly. This would potentially introduce a significant amount of fill into the adjacent park land, and a previously identified archaeologically sensitive area. Comments and input received during the design process have not indicated that the existing at grade crossing is a significant safety concern. Therefore, location of the trailway beneath the new bridge has not been figured into the cost of replacing the bridge. TRUNK WATER MAIN INSTALLATION Included within the scope of this project would be the installation of a 20 inch diameter trunk water distribution main along the length of the roadway. Previous water distribution studies have indicated the need to install the main to provide for improved water distribution between the City's well production facility in the northeast part of the City to the north west part of the City. A section of this distribution link was previously installed as part of the 69th Avenue improvement between Brooklyn Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway. This last section to be installed is the missing "vital link" between the east and west parts of the City. Completion will result in efficient and improved water supply and safety, particularly during periods of heavy water demand such as during droughts and /or fires. The existing water main would remain in place to provide water service in the immediate area. STORM SEWER The existing roadway storm sewer service is skeletal and insufficient at best. Replacement of the roadway would include the installation of catch basins and storm sewer along the roadway's entire length. Although the drainage area served by the roadway is not particularly large, the existing rural design and lack of storm sewer has resulted in drainage and standing water problems for adjacent properties. 69th Avenue Improvements - Summary of Feasibility Report Page 2 PATHWAY, LANDSCAPING, AND LIGHTING During the preliminary design and the neighborhood informational meeting, two separate pathway /sidewalk proposals were presented. One design provided for a sidewalk along the north side of the roadway, and the other provided for a bicycle trail along the south side of the roadway. Feedback at the meeting and returned surveys have suggested a preference to install the pathway along the south side of the roadway. The pathway would not only provide for safer local bicycle and pedestrian trips, but would provide a regional link between the Shingle Creek Trailway and the proposed Mississippi River Trailway System by Hennepin County. The proposed improvement provides a unique opportunity to provide additional landscaping amenities, and beautification if desired. Such enhancements could include power under grounding and decorative street lights. Surveys from residents have indicated a mixed response regarding the need for additional street lights. An amount to underground the existing overhead power lines and provide additional street lighting (if desired) has been included in the overall project cost. For State Aid funded projects, up to 5 % of the total roadway costs are available for landscaping. An amount has therefore been included in the total project costs to cover the total eligible cost. That amount should cover a reasonable amount of enhancements, should they be desired. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS Funding for Roadwgy improvement The estimated cost for roadway improvements is $1,070,000. If street lighting is included, the cost is $1,120,000. All roadway costs, including street lights are eligible for State Aid funding. It is also proposed to levy special assessments for street improvements in accordance with the recommendations adopted by the City Council on January 22, 1996. This establishes a residential street assessment rate of $1,850 per residential property. Commercial property would be assessed at a rate similar to the rates utilized for past projects( $0.23 per square foot, for frontage to a depth of 200 feet). It is recommended that some properties in the project area be found to receive no benefit from the improvement, and thus not be assessed. First, Palmer Lake Park has considerable frontage on 69th. Park property, as other properties owned by governmental units, are usually assessed for improvement. However, Palmer Lake Park is unique in that it is almost totally protected wetland. It is unlikely that this property could ever by redeveloped and thus benefit from having replaced pavement, curb and gutter, etc. Second, several commercial properties on the south side of 69th on the west end of the project, which are south of a screening berm, are proposed not to be assessed. These properties do not now have access to 69th, and under current land use policies are unlikely to ever gain access from 69th. It would be very difficult to demonstrate that these properties would derive any benefit from the improvement project. Third, the four commercial properties on the corner of 69th and Humboldt were fully assessed for street improvements when the improvements were made to Humboldt Avenue, and it is the City's policy not to assess corner properties twice for street improvements. The bicycle pathway and landscaping(up to 5% of the roadway cost) are also eligible for State Aid funding. Under grounding of power lines by NSP is not eligible for such funds, and if included in the project would be funded from local State Aid funds. Funding for Bridge Replacement The estimated cost of remove and replace the bridge over Shingle Creek is $190,000. Bridge 69th Avenue Improvements - Summary of Feasibility Report Page 3 replacement costs are eligible for State Aid funds. The City has applied for Mn/DOT Municipal Bridge Bond funding. However, any confirmation of receiving these funds will not be "received until June of 1996, as Mn/DOT receives many requests and places them on a list for prioritization. It therefore cannot be predicted if the City will receive any such funds. If not funded from bridge funds, this improvement would be funded from regular Municipal State Aid. Funding for Storm Drainage Improvements The total cost for storm sewer improvements is $225,000. Because the drainage area served by the proposed storm sewer is generally confined to the roadway and properties adjacent to the roadway, the majority of the costs would be eligible for State Aid funds. It is also proposed to levy special assessments for storm drainage improvements in accordance with recommendations adopted by the City Council on January 22, 1996. Similar to the discussion above under Roadway improvements, certain properties are proposed not to be assessed for the improvement. The commercial properties on the south side of 69th behind the berm all drain to the south, thus would derive no benefit from the storm drainage system proposed on 69th. Also, while Palmer Lake Park does benefit from drainage improvements, it is proposed to be the site of two water quality ponds, which could be considered to be their "contribution" to the project. Finally, while the four comer properties at Humboldt and 69th have been fully assessed for roadway improvements, they have not been assessed for storm drainage improvements. As they do benefit from the proposed new system, it is proposed to assess those properties in the same manner as other benefitting properties. Funding for Water Main Installation The total cost for water main improvements is $490,000. These costs would be funded from the Water Utility fund.

The canvassing board will meet in the City Hall Council Chambers.
