STEVE ALBRECHT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE PREPARATION
OF A FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR THE INDUSTRIAL PARK UTILITY AND
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO SOLICIT
PROPOSALS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
Introduction
The purpose of this Agenda item is to initiate the process for local improvements
of the Industrial Park in accordance with Minnesota Statutes (M.S.), Chapter 429
Special Assessments. The first step in the process is to authorize a feasibility
study and direct staff to obtain proposals to accomplish such work.
History
On September 18, 2006 the City Council placed the Welcome Avenue Industrial
Park Utility Extension Project in the 2007 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
This project covers Industrial Circle, Credit River Road and Welcome Avenue.
The existing Industrial Park is not served by City utilities. Currently properties are
served by individual wells, septic systems and sewage holding tanks. The
Council noted the Industrial Park's location in the Wellhead Protection Area and
potential for redevelopment as reasons for inclusion.
The Industrial Park is located within the City's High Vulnerability Zone of the
Wellhead Protection Area. This area is highly vulnerable to potential
groundwater contamination. The existing septic systems and wells are
considered potential contamination sources for the groundwater.
Current Circumstances
On January 16, 2006 the City received a petition from 39% of the property
frontage on Credit River Road and Welcome Avenue within the Industrial Park
area for preparation of a feasibility study. A minimum of 35% of the properties
must sign a petition for 429 improvements to proceed based on a petition. The
petition also included signatures from Industrial Circle. Including Industrial Circle
the petition included 35% of the property frontage in the Industrial Park.
Based on the proximity of City utilities, Scott County which is responsible for the
permitting and monitoring of onsite sewage treatment systems in the City has
indicated that no additional septic systems will be allowed if a utility extension is
not planned. Without the extension of sewer to the Industrial Park no additional
development or redevelopment can be permitted.
The 429 Improvement 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.
This project is in the 20 7f ~!frl ~P.8 JPe Feasibility Report will determine if

assessments will be feasible and follow the M.S. Chapter 429 process if
necessary.
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. Due to the Engineering Department's current workload
which includes feasibility studies for the CR 21 and CR 12/TH 13 Projects along
with working on utility plan design for the CR 21 project a consultant will be
needed to assist with this project.
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, conduct the special
assessment hearing and then award the contract.
ISSUES:
There are several reasons which support the completion of this project.
1) The existing septic systems and wells pose an on-going threat to the City's
water supply due to their location within the High Vulnerability Zone of the
Wellhead Protection Area.
2) The property in this area is ideal for industrial development considering its
adjacency to County Road 21. But no additional development or
redevelopment can occur without utility extension to the Industrial Park.
3) The City has limited commercial and industrial property available for
immediate development once Deerfield Industrial Park is completed.
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 the
Industrial Park Utility and Street Improvements and directing staff to solicit
proposals for completion of such work.
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide Staff with direction.
3. Table this item until some date in the future.
