1 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM 3B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director EDAC MEETING DATE: January 6, 2022 TOPIC : NE 35E Area Master Plan BACKGROUND The NE quadrant of 35E and Main Street has been the focus of a number of planning and infrastructure projects over the past 10 years. These projects included: § 2012 The Northeast Drainage Area study to develop a drainage route for future storm water management. § 2018 Comprehensive Plan amendment establishing a business park land use district and extending utility staging. § 2019 the City evaluated trunk utility needs and conceptual layouts for the Otter Lake Road extension. § 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR was updated in 2015 and 2020. § 2021 the City completed the drainage outlet to Peltier Lake, completing the new drainage system from 35E to Peltier Lake. § 2021 Winter Wetland bank evaluation was started. § 2022 the drainage extension under 35E is planned to be constructed. In addition, staff is currently work on subwatershed trunk drainage improvements to service the land east of 35E and completing wetland delineations as part of the planning for Otter Lake Road. Because of much of the infrastructure planning is interrelated, staff is proposing to complete a master plan covering approximately 400 acres lying north of Main Street and east of 35E. The purpose of the plan would be to determine a preferred alignment of Otter Lake Road, create a regional stormwater plan for the area, determine sanitary sewer and water routing, and obtain land and engineering information necessary to apply for various federal funding grant opportunities made available by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Staff has been working with the City’s Engineer WSB and Associates on a proposal to complete the study. EDAC CONSIDERATION Discussion on proposed study. ATTACHMENTS 1.
