OCTOBER 20, 1997
DATE:
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider the approval of the
attached Feasibility Report and call for a Public Hearing on 1998
Improvement Projects.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 18, 1997, City Council meeting, Council authorized
staff to prepare a Feasibility Report for the 1998 Improvement
projects as approved by the Council in the 1998-2002 Capital
Improvement Program.
In the adopted Resolution No. 97-68, the following five project
areas were listed to be considered for the report:
1. Reconstruction of Pleasant Street from Park Avenue to Duluth
Avenue, Colorado Street from Lakeside Avenue to West
A venue, Birch Avenue from Pleasant Street to Lakeside
Avenue, and West Avenue from Pleasant Street to Eagle Creek
Avenue including storm sewer, sanitary sewer, watermain,
aggregate base, concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing,
concrete sidewalk and appurtenant work.
2. Reconstruction of Duluth Avenue from Pleasant Street to TH
13 including storm sewer, sanitary sewer, aggregate base,
concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing, pedestrian
walkways and appurtenant work.
3. Mill and bituminous overlay of Five Hawks Avenue from TH
13 to Priorwood Street.

aggregate base, concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing,
sidewalk, bituminous trail and appurtenant work.
5. Mill and bituminous overlay of Pleasant Street from Duluth
A venue to Main A venue and Main Avenue from Pleasant
Street to Colorado Street.
DISCUSSION:
The attached report indicates the estimated City costs for each
project, along with preliminary assessment estimates. At the end
of the Feasibility Report, a project financing summary is included
to show project cost splits. The total estimated project cost of the
five projects is $2,725,160.00.
The following is a commentary on each project with regard to
project need:
Area 1 -Pleasant Street, West Avenue. Birch Avenue. and Main
Avenue
Pleasant Street has a 25-foot wide bituminous surface with
bituminous curb from Park A venue to Duluth Avenue.
Replacement of sewer and water is proposed in Pleasant Street
from approximately 125 feet west of Birch Avenue to Duluth
A venue where the road is undergoing reconstruction and the
utilities were constructed in 1959.
W est Avenue between Pleasant Street and Eagle Creek A venue has
a 29-foot wide bituminous surface with bituminous curb.
Replacement of sanitary sewer and water is proposed between
Pleasant and Colorado Streets where existing sanitary sewer and
water were constructed in 1959.
Birch Avenue is a gravel roadway from Pleasant Street to Colorado
Street and has a 30-foot wide bituminous surface with bituminous
curb from Colorado Street to Lakeside Avenue.
Area 2 - Duluth Avenue
Duluth Avenue between Pleasant Street and TH 13 is a bituminous
roadway with no curb which varies in width from 30 to 34 feet.
Extension of sanitary sewer is proposed with this project to serve a
house that is currently on a private septic system. Replacement of
watennain which was constructed in 1958 is proposed.
Area 3 -Five Hawks Avenue
Five Hawks Avenue between Priorwood and TH 13 is a 30-foot
wide bituminous roadway with concrete curb and gutter. The
G:\AGENDA97\98FEAS.DOC
2
feasibility report discusses improving this roadway to a 9-ton
standard.
Area 4 - Realignment and Signalization of Five Hawks Avenue
and CR23
The proposed work to the subject intersection would include the
realignment of Five Hawks Avenue north of TH 13 with the
proposed realignment of County Road 23 south of TH 13 and
installation of a traffic signal.
A feasibility report was prepared for this project in February of
1992 by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc.(SRF). The Engineering
Department has copies on file for review. Plans for the traffic
signal were prepared in 1994. The cost estimate for this project
was revisited in 1996 and meetings with MnDOT, Scott County
and the School District were held to discuss funding of this project.
At that time, the proposed cost shares were MnDOT: $160,000;
Scott County: $200,000; City: $340,000; Assessable: $50,000;
and School District: $50,000.
MnDOT and Scott County have recently been contacted about
participation in 1998. MnDDT recommended pursuing funding for
signalization through their cooperative agreement program.
Preliminary information including estimates and roadway layout
have been sent to MnDOT. The deadline for submission of the
cooperative agreement request is mid-December and the selections
for the program are made in mid-January.
Scott County does not have this project in their 5-year program,
but suggested two funding options. The county has a fund set
aside for safety projects which may cover their share of the traffic
signal (approx. $30,000). The second option is for the County to
reimburse the City at a later date. In either case, it appears that
$200,000 which is the County's estimated share, would not be
covered by either program.
Through a meeting with County Market owners, it has come to the
attention of City staff that a Cub Food store, including building
expansion and additional retail stores, is proposed at the County
Market site. Expansion of the site would make this project more
desirable for safety and access reasons.
Area 5 -Pleasant Street and Main Avenue Overlay
Pleasant Street from Duluth Avenue to Main Avenue has a 36-foot
wide bituminous surface with concrete curb and gutter. Milling
G:IAGENDA97\98FEAS.DOC
3
and bituminous surfacing is proposed for this segment of Pleasant
Street.
Main A venue from Pleasant Street to Eagle Creek Avenue has a
60-foot wide bituminous surface with concrete curb and gutter.
Milling and overlaying with bituminous surfacing is proposed for
Main Avenue.
The attached Feasibility Report outlines which portions of the cost
for the above projects will be assessed to the benefiting properties.
If the Council approves the Feasibility Report, the Chapter 429
special assessment projects require public hearings to be conducted
prior to implementing the project. Staff proposes to conduct
Informational Meetings prior to the Public Hearings to help the
residents understand and answer any questions.
ISSUES:
During preparation of the feasibility report, a number of issues for
City Council determination were found. A work session was held
on October 13, 1997 so that staff could present these issues to the
council. The following is a list of the issues with the outcome of
the work session in bold print.
A. Area 1 - Pleasant Street. Colorado Street, West Avenue,
Birch Avenue
The feasibility report proposes the replacement of sanitary sewer
and watermain in Pleasant Street in the locations where existing
utilities were constructed in 1959. The life of the cast iron pipe
used to construct the watermain is approximately 50 years. The
existing sanitary sewer is vitrified clay pipe. Video tape of the
existing sewer shows the pipe separated at joints and roots at
various locations. Although both the sanitary sewer and watermain
may have some years of useful life left, from an engineering
standpoint, the time to replace them is at the time of street
reconstruction versus the possibility of tearing up the street if a
repair is necessary. The issue is the funding source to cover the
cost of the utility replacement. Three alternatives are as follows:
1. The sewer and water will be assessed on a front footage basis
to the benefiting property owners either 100% or a percentage
based on the remaining estimated useful life of the system. If a
partial assessment method is used, the City's share could come
from the Trunk Reserve fund.
G:\AGENDA97\98FEAS.DOC
4
2. The city could finance the sewer and water replacement from
the Trunk Reserve fund.
3. Street construction could be completed without replacing the
utilities.
Another consideration is that the watermain in the adjacent area
(Area 5) which Area 1 would connect to was constructed in 1937
and the sanitary sewer was constructed in 1959.
Alternative 1 using a partial assessment method (60% trunk
reserve/40% assessable) will be addressed in the feasibility
report.
B. Area 2 - Duluth Avenue
1. Duluth Avenue is a Municipal State Aid Road. Currently,
the Capital Improvement Program shows $100,000 of MSA
funds for the reconstruction of Duluth. The feasibility
report proposes tapering the roadway width from 44 feet
wide at Pleasant Street to match existing and allow parking
on both sides of the street down to 36 feet wide (MSA
standard) approximately 400 feet south of Pleasant Street to
TH 13.
Staff will determine if a 44-foot roadway can be designed for
the whole project length and address this in the feasibility
report.
2. The proposed Duluth reconstruction project includes
replacing watermain and sanitary sewer. As in Area 2 the
cost would be assessed to affected property owners.
The utilities will be partially assessed as in Area 1.
C. Area 3 -Five Hawks Avenue
1.
This project was programmed as a mill and overlay in the
1998 CIP. Due to the condition of the road several borings
were taken to determine the existing pavement section.
Based on the borings, constructing Five Hawks Avenue to a
9-ton standard will require removing the existing pavement
section. The existing curb and gutter would remain in
place. This additional work increased the cost from the CIP
estimate.
G:\AGENDA97\98FEAS.DOC
5
2. This section of Five Hawks Avenue abuts Area 4 and
should be combined with the proposed CR23/Five Hawks
A venue realignment improvements.
Upgrading Five Hawks Avenue should be completed when the
CR 23/ Five Hawks Avenue realignment project is constructed.
D. Area 4 - CR 23 and Five Hawks Avenue Realignment and
Signalization
1. Staff would like to pursue funding options for this project and
report back to the Council at a later date. At that time, staff
would request authorization to update the feasibility report if
funding is available. Preliminary cost estimates are shown in
the attached feasibility report.
2. The Capital Improvement Program shows $340,000 funded
from Municipal State Aid funds. The City has already
requested an advance to accomplish 1997 projects. We are
limited to a maximum of $500,000 in advances. A request for
$340,000 would be in excess of the maximum allowed.
This project cannot be completed without funding
commitments from MnDOT, Scott County and the School
District. A letter will be sent to the Scott County requesting
that this improvement be programmed in their Capital
Improvement Program as they play a key funding role in this
County/City/State project.
E. Area 5 - Pleasant Street and Main Avenue Overlay
The council may want to consider this project with respect to the
recent moratorium on downtown building permits and formation of
a downtown development task force. The council may wish to
defer this project pending the outcome of the task force.
Pleasant Avenue is in need of an overlay. Main Avenue will
not be a part of this project.
Conclusion
In summary, Areas 1, 2, and 5 are feasible from an engineering and
economic standpoint and will benefit the properties proposed to be
assessed. While Areas 3 and 4 are feasible from an engineering
standpoint, they do not appear to be economically feasible at this

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A more detailed description of the projects that are proposed to be assessed are as
follows:
g:\projects\city\98FEAS.DOC
3
AREA 1- Pleasant & Colorado Street. West, Birch. & Main Avenue
AREA 1 is shown on Exhibit 2. The portion of Pleasant Street from Park to Duluth
Avenue, Colorado Street from Lakeside to West A venue, and W est Avenue from Pleasant
Street to Eagle Creek Boulevard has a failing bituminous surface and bituminous curb
and gutter. The portion of Birch A venue from Pleasant to Colorado Street has a gravel
surface and is also rural in nature with no curb and gutter. Storm water runoff currently
flows overland to shallow ditches and isolated wetlands. The portion of Birch Avenue
from Colorado Street to Lakeside Avenue also has a failing bituminous surface with
bituminous curb. These failing bituminous surfaces were originally paved between 1973
and 1975. These streets no longer meet minimum design standards and it is not cost
effective to continue to patch the streets.
Proposed improvements include 7-ton design street reconstruction with storm sewer,
retaining walls, concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk, and bituminous surfacing.
Street reconstruction provides the opportunity to replace the 1959 sanitary sewer and the
1959 watermain on Pleasant Street from Birch to Duluth Avenue and on West Avenue
from Pleasant to Colorado Street. The typical street section is shown on Exhibit 3.
Existing right-of-way is 66 feet wide on Pleasant Street, Colorado Street, and West
Avenue and 50 feet wide on Birch avenue. No additional right-of-way or easement
requirements are anticipated. The benefiting property owners will be assessed for street,
water and sanitary sewer. Tax levy funds will be used to finance the City portion of the
street reconstruction costs. Trunk reserve funds will be used to finance the City portion
of the water and sanitary sewer replacements.
AREA 2 - Duluth Avenue
Duluth Avenue is shown on Exhibit 4. The street is designated as a Municipal State Aid
route. The portion of Duluth Avenue from T .H. 13 to Pleasant Street has a failing
bituminous surface and is rural in nature with no curb and gutter. Storm water runoff
currently flows overland to shallow ditches and isolated wetlands.
Proposed improvements include street reconstruction with storm sewer, concrete curb and
gutter, bituminous trail, and bituminous surfacing. Street reconstruction provides the
opportunity to extend the sanitary sewer to 16460 Duluth Avenue, which presently has a
private septic system and replace watermain and sanitary sewer which were constructed
in 1958 and 1959. As shown on Exhibit 5, this road is proposed to be built to a 9-ton
design. Duluth Avenue is designated as a minor collector street. The proposed roadway
width will taper from 44 feet at Pleasant Street, matching the existing street width north
of Pleasant Street, down to 36 feet in width which is the Municipal State Aid standard, as
shown on Exhibit 4. A 44-foot roadway for the total project length was also investigated.
Due to the topography of the adjacent land, this option does not appear to be feasible
without acquisition of additional right-of-way to accommodate slopes and the proposed
bituminous trail.
g:\projects\city\98FEAS.DOC
4
The existing right-of-way is 66 feet wide. Easements will be necessary for storm sewer
construction. Estimated costs for acquiring easements are included in the project cost for
Duluth Avenue. Benefiting properties will be assessed, while the balance of the project
costs will be paid from the project levy and Municipal State Aid funds.
AREA 3 - Five Hawks Avenue
Five Hawks Avenue is shown on Exhibit 1. Five Hawks Avenue from T. H. 13 to
Priorwood Street was originally paved in 1982 with concrete curb and gutter. The
bituminous portion of the street is failing and no longer meets design standards. Initially,
this project was proposed to be a mill and overlay. During feasibility investigations, it
was determined that replacement of the entire pavement section, including establishment
of an adequate subgrade would be necessary in order to achieve a 9-ton roadway.
Proposed improvements include street reconstruction with aggregate base and bituminous
surfacing. Existing curb and gutter will remain in place.
As shown on Exhibit 6, Five Hawks Avenue is proposed to be built to a 9-ton standard.
Both Five Hawks Avenue and Priorwood within Eagle Creek Villas, which is a 9-ton
road and connects Five Hawks to Duluth Avenue, are designated as minor collector
streets. The benefiting property owners will be assessed for the improvements. The City
costs, which will include oversizing from a 7-ton to a 9-ton road, are proposed to be
financed by tax levy.
AREA 4 - Five Hawks Avenue/County Road 23 Intersection
A detailed feasibility was prepared in 1992 by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc. The report
recommended the relocation of County Road 23 to align with the intersection of TH 13
and Five Hawks Avenue, including the final realignment of CR 23 and 170th Street. The
proposed improvements include street, traffic signal, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and
watermain construction.
Right of way acquisition would be required for this project. The costs for acquiring right-
of-way and/or easements are included in the project cost for Area 4. Plans for the traffic
signal have been prepared. Funding is proposed through a cooperative agreement from
MnDOT, Scott County participation, School District participation and assessments to
benefiting properties. City costs were proposed to be paid from State Aid funds.
AREA 5 - Pleasant Street and Main Avenue
The portion of Pleasant Street from Duluth to Main Avenue has concrete curb and gutter
with a failing bituminous surface. Proposed improvements include a 2" bituminous
removal and overlayment. Area 5 originally included an overlay on Main Avenue from
Pleasant Street to Colorado Street. Since Main Avenue appears to be in adequate
condition and is part of a future downtown development plan, this portion of the project
was deleted.
g:\projects\city\98FEAS.DOC
5
The Pleasant Street overlay project is proposed to be funded through special assessments
to the benefiting property owners and tax levy funds.
FEASIBILITY
From an engineering standpoint, project number 1,2,3, 4 and 5 are feasible, independent
of each other, and can be accomplished as proposed, and not in conjunction with each
other or any other project.
ESTIMATED COST
The following costs were prepared based upon an Engineer's Estimate and are subject to
change, depending on the final design of the project, bids received, and actual work
performed. The method of assessment and rate will be determined at the Assessment
Hearing.
The estimated project cost for each project is for the installation of associated
improvements and includes indirect project costs. Project costs in Areas 1 through 5
include special assessments.

From an economic standpoint, project number 1,2, and 5 are feasible. While Areas 3 and 4 are
feasible from an engineering standpoint, they do not appear to be economically feasible at this
time due to limited funding availability from outside agencies (Area 4) and increased costs due to
an increase in the scope of the project (Area 3), and the City's limitation on bonding capacity.
With a total project cost of $2,725,160 an estimated bond of $1,610,837 and an assessment total
of $761,473, the assessed amount would be 47%. If Areas 1,2, and 5 are approved, the total
project cost is $1,799,926 with an estimated bond of $1,426,603 and an assessment total of
$652,379, the assessed amount would be 46%.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 Special Assessment Bond issue requires that at a minimum of
20% of the total bond amount be recovered through special assessments.

CONCLUSION
The total estimated cost of the recommended improvements is $1,799,926. A portion of these
projects are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting property owners and the remainder through
other funding sources. The projects are feasible from an engineering standpoint, and will benefit
the properties proposed to be assessed. Area 3 and 4 projects are not feasible from an economic
standpoint due to increased scope (Area 3) and funding limitations.
