Historv The segment of CR 21 proposed for improvement is located in the southeast corner of the City of Prior Lake from approximately 1000' west of Franklin Trail to Adelmann Street. The segment of CR 12 and TH 13 proposed for improvement is located in the southwest corner of the City of Prior Lake at the intersection of CR 12 and TH 13. The City uses the Five Year Capital Improvement Program to plan its infrastructure improvements and the financing for capital improvements. The purpose of this Agenda item is to initiate the process for improvements set forth in the 2007 portion of the 2007-2011 Capital Improvement Program in accordance with Minnesota Statutes (M.S.), Chapter 429. This process applies to all projects that will be financed in whole or part through special assessments or bond proceeds. The first step in the process is for the Council to order preparation of a Feasibility Report for the improvement projects. The Feasibility Report will address street reconstruction and improvements for CR 21 and for the intersection improvements for CR 12/TH 13. The overall cost and the City's share of the cost will be reviewed and recommendations will be made to the Council regarding the project. Current Circumstances Currently, CR 21 is a 4-lane roadway with an "A" Minor Arterial classification. The roadway provides a connection point to CR 42 to the north and Interstate 35W to the south. CR 12 and TH 13 currently intersects at an acute angle. The project would revise the alignment of CR 12 to provide a 90 degree intersection. The projects are in the 2007 Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.). Attached are pages from the C.I.P. which provides additional information on the Project. RlAgenda ReportslSeptember 18, 20061CR 21 Feasibility agenda'~.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 The Feasibility Report will determine if the project is feasible and follow the M.S. Chapter 429 process for assessments. ISSUES: The City is required to assess a minimum of 20% of the cost of a public improvement project completed through the Chapter 429 process and financed through G.O. bonds. The Feasibility Report will determine the estimated costs of improvements and methods of financing. The Feasibility Report will also determine if the assessment will meet the minimum requirement as set forth in the Chapter 429 process. The preparation of the Feasibility Report is only the first step in the public improvement project process. Following receipt of the Feasibility Report, the Council will direct City Staff to abandon or proceed with the Chapter 429 process, dependent upon whether the requirements for the Chapter 429 are being met. If the Chapter 429 process is to proceed, the Council can then schedule a Public Hearing. Following a Public Hearing, the Council may consider authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications. Once completed, the City Council would be asked to approve the plans and specifications, authorize advertisement for bids and then award the contract. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact of this project will be further analyzed in the Feasibility Report. ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve a resolution ordering the preparation of a Feasibility Report for County Road 21 and CR 12/TH13 intersection. 2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide Staff with direction. 3. Table this item until some date in the future.
