AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND
SOLICITATION OF QUOTES OR BIDS
FEBRUARY 5, 1996
AGENDA #:
PREP ARED BY:
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this Agenda item is to authorize staff to proceed
with the design of the following 1996 CIP projects:
. Green Heights Trail Storm Improvement Project
. Bluff Heights Storm Improvement Project
. Brooksville Hills Storm Improvement Project
. Crossandra Street Sidewalk Project

In addition to the 1996 CIP projects, approval of a pedestrian ramp
project, of limited scope, is requested.
These projects are funded by means other than tax levy or
assessment.
BACKGROUND:
These projects with the exception of the pedestrian ramp project
are in the Capital Improvements Program for this year. Staff
requests that the Council authorize the design of these projects.
Funding authorization will be submitted later when approval of the
quotes or bids is requested.
DISCUSSION:
The following narrative describes the historical rationale for the
improvement and projected cost for each project. The costs
presented are the costs used to develop the CIP. An engineer's
estimate will be prepared once plans are completed.

Green Heights Trail: (Sedimentation Pond)
The existing inlet at this site has had a history of plugging up and
causing localized flooding. The inlet capacity of the storm sewer
has been restricted causing water to overtop Dutch Avenue during
heavy rainfalls. The purpose of this project is to alter the existing
inlet at the intersection of Green Heights Trail and Dutch Avenue
by installing an inlet control structure prior to the storm water
entering Prior Lake. Also included with this project is the
construction of a sediment basin at this same location to trap
sediment before it enters the lake, and to reduce the potential for
the storm sewer becoming plugged. Easements need to be
acquired and a neighborhood meeting held to obtain the residents
approval on the improvement. Due to the water fluctuation and
plugging problems, the residents have requested that the City make
improvements to correct this problem. The projected cost for this
improvement is $12,000. Funding for the project will be drawn
from the Storm Water Enterprise Fund. (See attached map for
location. )
Bluff Heights: (Water Quality Pond)
The purpose of this improvement is to construct a water quality
pond to serve existing and proposed development. This pond will
be located on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Bluff Heights Addition which
is north of the intersection of Franklin Trail and Brunswick
Avenue. Drainage easements were acquired from the owner as part
of Project 95-13, which included storm sewer being constructed
from Bluff Heights Trail to the proposed pond, which was
completed in December, 1995. The projected cost for the project is
$30,000 to be drawn from the Storm Water Enterprise Fund. (See
attached map for location.)
Brooksville Hills: (Storm Sewer)
The purpose of this project is to provide additional relief to an
existing low area in Brooksville Hills 5th and 6th Additions which
experiences flooding of townhomes during large storm events. A
combination of both an overland swale and reconstruction of an
existing storm sewer line will allow adequate surface drainage
which will reduce surface ponding and flooding in this area.
Neighborhood meetings will need to be held prior to final plan
preparation to receive resident input. Also, all necessary
easements will need to be acquired prior to the improvements
being installed. If property owners do not cooperate, this may
prolong this projects timing. The estimated project cost is
CIPIMPRODOC
2
T
r

..'
$60,000.00. This amount would be drawn from the Storm Water
Enterprise Fund.
Fran Otto, the owner of three duplexes in Brooksville Hills 5th
Addition, has experienced flooding problems in two of the three
units since they were constructed in 1986. He has asked the City
on several occasions over the years to correct the rear drainage
problem that exists. (See the attached letter from Fran Otto dated
April 28, 1995.)
The City has spent both time and money on feasibility reports and
engineering trying to find an economical way to correct this
situation. At the same time, the City has been somewhat reluctant
to spend taxpayer money, since the two units that have been
experiencing the flooding problems were built lower than shown
on the certificate of survey. A drainage analysis has shown that the
storm sewer system in this area is under capacity, and contributes
to the problem. If the units had been built as designed, the
problems that are occurring may not have experienced as frequent
of flooding.
This project is listed as a 1996 CIP project, and was moved up the
priority list in place of the Fish Point Park channel stabilization
project, which was moved to 1997 in the CIP.
The City is looking at several drainage options to solve this
problem. Fran Otto has agreed to provide the required easements
and turf restoration for the area impacted on the five lots he owns.
(See attached map for location.)
Crossandra Street: (Sidewalk)
During the open forum session of a City Council meeting in the
spring of 1995, residents from Crossandra Street presented traffic
related concerns to the Council. One of the concerns was the lack
of a sidewalk on Crossandra and the safety of the pedestrians,
especially the school children who now have to walk in the street.
The installation of a sidewalk on Crossandra will provide a safe
place to walk and connect a critical link between Franklin Trail and
160th Street. This sidewalk will also provide a link to the
proposed trail system in Cardinal Ridge Park. Approximately
1,350 L.F. of sidewalk will be constructed at a projected cost of
$27,000 drawn from the Capital Park Fund and shown in the 1996
CIP.

During the review process of the plat of Cardinal Ridge, a 5'
concrete sidewalk was required to be installed from Fish Point
Road to the west plat boundary along the north side of Crossandra
Street within the plat. With this construction a gap was created
between Cardinal Ridge and the existing trail system to the west to
Franklin Trail.
An Informational Meeting was conducted on Tuesday, December
12, 1995, to inform the property owners on the status of the
sidewalk project. Two property owners attended the meeting and
all questions were addressed to their satisfaction. The plans that
will be prepared if this item is approved, would show the sidewalk
on the north side of Crossandra Street.
Pedestrian Ramps at Various Locations:
Scott County will be striping CSAH 21 for crosswalks in the
spring of 1996. This is in response to a request by a petition
submitted to the City Council at the February 21, 1995 Open
Forum. See the attached Memo by Frank Boyles dated February
17, 1995, and a copy of the petition. The petition asks the City and
the County to provide crosswalks and lower speed limits on CSAH
21. The speed limit has since been lowered and City and County
staff have worked together to determine safe locations for
pedestrian crosswalks on CSAH 21.
Attached is a letter dated April 28, 1995, addressed to Brad Larson
that shows the City sending the petition to the County. Also
attached is a letter dated June 7, 1995, addressed to Larry
Anderson that addresses the understanding of issues regarding the
construction of crosswalks on CSAH 21. As stated in the follow-
up letter sent to Scott Merkley on January 30, 1995, the City agrees
with the letter of understanding of issues except for the
construction of a crosswalk at Highland A venue.
Mr. Don Beno is a resident that lives in the area and has requested
that a crosswalk be stripped across CSAH 21 at the Highland/Eau
Claire intersection. Staff determined that there is not adequate sight
distance to provide a safe crosswalk at this location. Please refer to
the attached maps for the location of proposed crosswalk striping.
Staffhas contacted Mr. Beno to discuss the crosswalk locations.
At two of the selected locations, Quincy and West A venue, there is
no pedestrian ramp on the west side of County Road 21. Staff has
decided to combine the retrofit of these two pedestrian ramps with
the Crossandra sidewalk project which will decrease the cost
CIPIMPRO.DOC

T
r
,
significantly. Four additional ramps, two each at the intersection
of Dakota Street and Main Avenue and Pleasant Street and Main
A venue have been added as well. This will complete the retrofit of
pedestrian ramps on City sidewalks which was mandated by the
1992 Americans With Disabilities Act. See the attached maps.
The projected cost for this work is $4,500 to be drawn from the
Street Collector Fund.
Seal Coat:
Seal coat is an annual street maintenance project. This year
approximately 100,000 square yards of street will be done at a
projected cost of $50,000 as set forth in the 1996 Budget..
ISSUES:
Before design work is completed, neighborhood meetings will be
conducted for Brooksville Hills and Green Heights. Easements
will be needed for both of these projects. If there is neighborhood
resistance to the projects or the City is unable to obtain the
easements these projects would not go forward.
City staff will continue to try to explain to Mr. Beno about the City
and County's position regarding a crosswalk at Highland Avenue
on CSAH 21. Mr. Beno might present the June 7, 1995 letter that
Scott County sent out addressed to Larry Anderson as a document
that the County has agreed to construct a crosswalk at Highland
Avenue. After the City received the letter from the County, then
the City and the County met at the site to review the crosswalk
locations. At the meeting, the City and the County determined that
a crosswalk located at the Highland intersection would not meet
the engineering requirements for a safe crosswalk.
FUNDING:
The estimated costs of the proposed projects is summarized below.
Total
$12,000
$30,000
$60,000
$27,000

Pedestrian Ramps at Various Locations
Seal Coat
The total expenditure for storm sewer improvements for 1996 is
$102,000. Financing of the storm improvement projects is through
the Storm Water Utility Budget, which has $113,000 planned for
capital outlays in 1996. Financing for the Crossandra sidewalk
CIPIMPRODOC

project is through the Capital Parks Fund. Pedestrian ramp
retrofitting will be financed through the Street Collector Fund. The
seal coat project will be financed through ad valorem levy.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve Resolution 96-12 authorizing design and
preparation of plans and solicitation of bids or quotes for
the 1996 projects.
2. Table this Agenda item for a specific reason.
3. Deny this Agenda item for a specific reason.
RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation is for Alternative No.1.
FINANCIAL IMP ACT: The three drainage related projects with a total estimated cost of
$102,000 from the 1996 CIP are being funded through the Storm
Water Enterprise Fund, which makes up the water quality budget.
This fund is currently bringing in approximately $137,000 per year
by collecting $3.75 per residence per quarter. There is currently
$182,000 in the 1996 water quality budget because the Council
approved a carryover from the 1995 fund to 1996. Of this, $69,000
is budgeted for salary, overhead, design and miscellaneous
expenses and $ll3,000 is budgeted for capital outlays. The
Collector Street Fund with a $752,000 balance would fund the
$4,500 pedestrian ramp project. Finally, the Crossandra sidewalk
project estimated to cost $27,000 would be funded by the Capital
Parks Fund which has a balance of$275,000.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion and second to ap ve Resolution 96-12.

A Tm.: LARRY ANDERSON
RE: STOR..c\i1 DRAINAGE BROOKSVIlLE HIllS 5TH ADDITION
The following letter is to address a water problem issue that has been going on
at my property on Franklin Trail.
I would like to follow up with some comments regarding our meeting we had on April 7th.
In regards to our discussion concerning a remedy for the drainage problem I feel the
only real solution is to cap the stonn sewer inlet that exists on the property now. and put in an
additional stonn sewer line to deal with the water behind my rental units on Franklin Trail.
From the time it was suggested to benn behind my properties. I have always stressed my disapproval
of this as a possible solution. Mainly because of the high risk of trapping water between the benn and
my buildings. creating more of a water problem than the one that already exists. The proposal that I put
in a crushed rock trench. four feet deep by thirty feet long and install a sump pump system may take care
of the water between the benn and building problem until there is a power outage.
When I requested that I be able to talk to someone who already has a similar system I was told
that none exist.
All of the yards behind my five buildings would be dug up to increase overtlow drainage t'or a stornl sewer
that is dumping water into my backyards instead of taking water away. and I would be required to pay
re-sodding and re-seeding expenses. In regards to overtlow drainage. I am reluctant to expand city
easement rights before we have a proper solution to the problem.
In regards to the suggested solutions by the City of Prior Lake. I see the repair costing me approximately
S I 0.000.00. The only time I have a problem with water in my basements is when a faulty
stonn sewer discharges water into my backyards instead of taking it away. The same people who
are telling me now that two of the buildings are to low are the very same people who gave me a
certificate of occupancy eight years ago. The same people who designed a faulty stann sewer are the
same people who are also telling me I need to benn around my buildings. As I see it I am being asked to
spend thousands of dollars for a solution to a water problem .that I did not create. with no guarantee from
the C icy of Prior lake that the benn solution will work.
In summary I feel the only solution to this problem is to block off the current stonn sewer behind my
property and put in another line parallel with the line that already exists.
I would like a response to this letter as soon as possible as this situation needs to be dealt with
before further nooding occurs.

RE: CSAH 21 PED RAMPS AND CROSSWALKS
Dear Scott:
The City of Prior Lake is preparing the plans for the construction of ped ramps on CSAH 21 from CSAH
82 to Franklin Trail (CSAH 44). We anticipate completion of the plans by the middle of February and
then we will submit the plans with a permit application to the county for your review and approval.
We agree with the items listed in your letter to Larry Anderson dated June 7, 1995, except for one item.
The City does not feel that a crosswalk should be constructed at the Highland Avenue/Eau Claire Trail
and CSAH 21 intersection because of limited visibility and inadequate sight distance.
Larry Anderson and Ken Sherman along with you met at the site on August 30, 1995 to review the
crosswalk locations on CSAH 21. It was decided at this meeting that a crosswalk at the Highland
Avenue intersection would not be safe. This letter is a written notice to follow-up with the verbal notice
from the field site visit.
As this project continues through the plan preparation and City Council approval process, we will keep
you informed.

Re: CSAH 21
Dear Larry:
The following is my understanding of the issues we discussed and were agreed upon in
our June 6, 1995 phone conversation relating to CSAH 21.
1) Locations where crosswalks are needed between TH 13 and CR 82 along
CSAH 21 are at the following intersections:
_ Duluth Avenue
_ Quincy Street
_ Grainwood Circle
_ Highland Avenue
2) Crosswalk signing would be the responsibility of the County.
3) Initial paving markings for crosswalks would be the responsibility of the
County. Subsequent pavement markings would be the responsibility of the
City.
4) Curb modifications to incorporate pedestrian ramps to ADA standards at
crosswalk locations would be the responsibility of the City.
5) Speed enforcement along CSAH 21 would be the responsibility of the City.

Dear Brad:
On Wednesday, April 26, 1995, I met with Dan Jobe to discuss the attached petition
which was received at the Prior Lake City Council open forum and faxed to your office
prior to the meeting.
The focus of the petition was probably a result of the speed limit being raised through the
bridge area. I understand that the posting is in accordance with the MnDOT speed study
dated December 9, 1994. The 40 mph posting with advisory posting of 35 mph does not
seem to be appropriate considering the urban nature of the area with local streets and
driveways. One particular concern is the sight distance available at the intersection of
Eau Claire Trail and CSAH 21. The City would request that the County review the sight
distance at this intersection and determine if the current posting is appropriate. It is
possible that MnDOT did not consider this while doing the speed study. Another
problem is the advisory posting at each end of the curves, residents indicated that they
have not seen the advisory posting. A 30 mph posting as an urban section may be more
appropriate.
The petition requests that intersections be posted "BLIND ENTRANCE", this may be
appropriate considering the visibility at the intersection.
The petition addresses crosswalks. Don Beno has also indicated that Ruth Carpenter was
promised a crosswalk as part of the right-of-way negotiations. The City was not a part of
these discussions. The City would request that sidewalk crosswalks be addressed from
Main Avenue to c.R. 82.

The petition requests stop signs at the intersection ofEau Claire Trail and Lords Street. I
understand that Eau Claire Trail would not meet warrants for a four way stop. The
intersection at C.R. 82 and CSAH 21 may meet warrants for a signal. The City would
request a signal justification report be prepared as part of the proposed improvements to
CSAH 21 from C.R. 82 to CSAH 42.
Thank you for your consideration in addressing these issues.
Sincerely,

Attached is a petition which I am told was signed by as many as 100 people regarding
the county speed study and subsequent 40 mile an hour posting on CR 21. Larry has
prepared a map showing the areas in question and outlining the concerns of the
residents. I believe that Council members can expect representatives of the
neighborhood to be present at the 7:00 p.m. open forum to further discuss their
concerns.

The above has created a safety hazard for town residents.
Therefore. the taxpayers listed below request the speed

County Road 13 to Lords. That a cross walk be install'ed at

J; We k that a stop sign be installed at Eagle Creek and

before Lords. Eau Claire Trail, both directions. The recent
truck accident on the Sharp curve on Eagle Creek and near
Eau Claire Trall N.E.. only further emphaslzes the great
need for safety measure be taken by the city. This blind
curve is extremely dangerous.
