STAFF ORIGINATOR <br />MEETING DATE <br />TOPIC: <br />VOTE REQUIRED: <br />INTRODUCTION <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 6C <br />Michael Grochala, Community Development Director <br />January 10, 2022 <br />Consider Resolution No. 22-08, Authorizing NE 35E Master Plan <br />315 <br />Staff is requesting authorization to enter into a professional services agreement with WSB and <br />Associates to prepare a Master Plan for the NE 35E Development Area. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The NE quadrant of 35E and Main Street has been the focus of a number of planning and <br />infrastructure projects over the past 10 years. These projects included: <br />O 2012 The Northeast Drainage Area study to develop a drainage route for future storm <br />water management. <br />O 2018 Comprehensive Plan amendment establishing a business park land use district and <br />extending utility staging. <br />O 2019 The City evaluated trunk utility needs and conceptual layouts for the Otter Lake <br />Road extension. <br />O 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR was updated in 2015 and 2020. <br />O 2021 The City completed the drainage outlet to Peltier Lake, completing the new <br />drainage system from 35E to Peltier Lake. <br />O 2021 Winter Wetland bank evaluation was started. <br />O 2022 The drainage extension under 35E is planned to be constructed. <br />In addition, staff is currently working on subwatershed trunk drainage improvements to service <br />the land east of 35E and completing wetland delineations as part of the planning for Otter Lake <br />Road. <br />Because much of the infrastructure planning is interrelated, staff is proposing to complete a <br />master plan covering approximately 400 acres lying north of Main Street and east of 35E. The <br />purpose of the plan would be to determine a preferred alignment of Otter Lake Road, create a <br />regional stormwater plan and routing for the area, determine sanitary sewer and water routing, <br />and obtain land and engineering information necessary to apply for various federal funding <br />grant opportunities made available by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). <br />WSB and Associates provided a proposal to complete the study in the amount of $39,500. <br />Funding will be provided from several sources including: <br />MSA fund $15,000 <br />Planning & Zoning contracted services $ 7,000 <br />
