Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: FEBRUARY 6, 2006 7A STEVE ALBRECHT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR LAYOUT AND PROJECT REPORT APPROVAL FOR IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF TRUNK HIGHWAY 13 AND COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 12 DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to hold a public hearing and approve the layout and project report for the TH 13 and CR 12 intersection project (between Walnut Avenue and TH 13). History On August 16, 2004, the City Council passed a resolution formally approving the CR 12 layout and design from TH 13 to CR 17. CR 12 from TH 13 to CR 17 was originally planned to be improved starting in 2006. However based budgetary constraints on County funding the roadway is now planned to be to be improved in three segments: Spring Lake Park to Spring Lake Estates in 2006, TH 13 to Walnut Avenue in 2007, Walnut Avenue to Spring Lake Park and Spring Lake Estates to CR 17 in 2010. The CR 12 and TH 13 intersection improvement was part of that approval process. A copy of the proposed design is attached for your reference. Additionally as part of that approval, the City Council formally supported the conceptual TH 13 access management plan. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has approved a grant of $860,000 from their access management funds in 2007. This funding is an incentive to improve the roadway configuration in this area including the extension of Elm Street, closure of Ida Circle access to TH 13 and control of future access to TH 13. These road improvements have been incorporated into the 2007 year of the City's Capital Improvement Program and the County's Transportation Improvement Program. Current Circumstances Final MnDOT funding approval requires the City of Prior Lake to hold a public hearing and pass a resolution approving the MnDOT Level 2 Layout for the intersection improvements. This approval is required to keep the project on track for 2007 construction and encumbrance of MnDOT funding. ISSUES: The proposed project will reconstruct CR 12 between Walnut Avenue and TH 13. Currently two businesses and eight (8) residential properties front CR 12 in this segment. www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.440.9675 / Fax 952.440.9678 Because realignment of the CR 12 intersection and required storm water facilities, the County has negotiated purchase of the two commercial properties. The County is also working with 3631 170th Street (CR 12) on easement acquisition and relocation of the existing house for the extension of Elm Street. The 8 residences all front CR 12 as their primary street. In accordance with the street reconstruction policy, these 8 properties will be assessed for the project. City staff will complete a feasibility study in late 2006 to be followed by an improvement hearing for the project. Another public hearing dealing with specific City improvements and proposed assessments will be held at that time which will afford residents the opportunity to voice any additional concerns. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City has included funding in the CIP for this project in 2007. The City currently has $300,000 identified for the project (Walnut Avenue to TH 13). This estimate will be refined as design progresses. This funding amount is predicated on approval of the layout necessary to procure MnDOT funding in the amount of $860,000. If the City does not approve the layout that funding could be lost and the City costs could increase significantly as the MnDOT funding would need to be made up by the City and County. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a resolution approving the MnDOT layout and project report for improvements located at the intersection of TH 13 and CR 12. 2. Deny this agenda item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction. 3. Table this item to a certain date in the future. RECOMMENDED Staff recommends alternative number 1.
