CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: SUBJECT: SEPTEMBER 18, 2000 80 BUD OSMUNDSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS 0' J FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER L C) 1 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION oo.~ AMENDING THE 2000 - 2001 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RELATING TO FISH POINT ROAD TRAIL AND RASPBERRY RIDGE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS DISCUSSION: This item is for Council consideration to accelerate the construction of an 800 foot bituminous trail segment on Fish Point Road from 2001 to 2000. It also proposes to substitute a Raspberry Ridge drainage improvement project for the Center Road water quality pond project in the 2000 - 2004 Capital Improvement Program. CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES: 1. Fish Point Road Trail: This project is the construction of a bituminous trail on the west side of Fish Point Road between the new Deerfield development and Blind Lake Trail. This 800 feet of trail was to be constructed as part of a project including other Deerfield trails in 2001. At this time the Deerfield project is being constructed much faster than previously anticipated and the trail within Deerfield on Fish Point Road will be constructed this fall. Without the proposed segment an 800 foot gap would exist between Deerfield and Blind Lake Trail. Furthermore, the contractor for Deerfield has an excellent price for trail construction, which provides the City an opportunity to complete the trail at a favorable price. Thus, staff is requesting to amend the CIP by adding this project to the 2000 CIP, estimated to cost $10,000, and deleting $10,000 from the Deerfield Trails project in the 2001 CIP. These funds come from the Park Dedication Fund, so there is no affect on the operating budget. 2. Raspberry Ridge Drainage Project: The Water Resources Project to be modified is the water quality pond proposed to be constructed at the storm drain outlet at Eighth Street and Center Road. The purpose of this pond was to remove sediments and nutrients prior to discharge into Upper Prior Lake. After a detailed survey was completed it was discovered that the proposed pond would have required the removal of many mature trees which isn't good for the overall 162~~eek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER CONCLUSION: FINANCIAL IMPACT: ALTERNATIVES: CIP AMEND to incorporate a water quality drainage structure (similar to what was recently installed on the Candy Cove reconstruction project) into the County Road 12 reconstruction project scheduled for 2004. This drainage structure is a large concrete fabrication which can achieve similar water quality improvements when compared to treatment ponds, but takes up much less space and can be placed in the Right of Way or easements. These structures are more expensive to build, but in this case we feel the removal of large trees is an unneeded loss of an irreplaceable resource. In lieu of the Center Road Pond project in the 2000 CIP, staff would like to substitute a drainage improvement in the Raspberry Ridge Addition. This project would involve the construction of drain tile in rear yard areas between Hidden Pond Trail and Black Oak Road, north of Raspberry Ridge Road. This drain tile should alleviate ground water infiltration into homes in the area and constant wet yards. An abnormally high groundwater situation exists, possibly caused by springs in the area. If constructed, most of the homes adjacent to the proposed drain tile will connect their basement sump pumps to the line. This insures that surface water is not needlessly being discharged into the sanitary sewer which increases the MCES treatment charges to the City. The bituminous trail project is currently in the CIP, but scheduled for 2001 instead of 2000. It makes sense financially and from a trail connectivity standpoint to complete in 2000. Modifying and moving the proposed Center Road water quality improvement project to 2004 and combining it with the County Road 12 improvements makes sense from an environmental point of view. Completing the Raspberry Ridge drainage improvements this year will improve the situation for numerous homeowners in the addition. The trail project is estimated to cost less than $10,000 and will be funded by the Park Capital Improvement Fund and will not have an affect on the Operating budget. The Raspberry Ridge drainage improvements are estimated to cost approximately $10,000, are necessary, and will be funded by the Storm Water Utility Fund, and will not have an affect on the Operating budget. The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve Resolution OO-XX approving the Amendments to the Capital Improvement Program and authorizing Staff to contract the above described improvements. 2. Amend and approve Resolution DO-XX. 3. Deny this agenda item for a specific reason and provide Staff with direction. RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: mended action by Alternative #1 as described above, is Staff.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE, that the following are hereby adopted: 1. The 2000 _ 2004 Capital Improvement Program is amended by delaying the Center Road water quality improvements to 2004 to be completed in conjunction with the CSAH 12 Improvements. 2.
