WS — Item 2 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 2 <br />Date: March 5, 2012 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Michael Grochala <br />Re: 21st Avenue Extension <br />Background <br />Metro Transit has been working with city staff, the City of Centerville and property owners to <br />construct a 300 space park and ride facility adjacent to the 35E /CSAH 14 Interchange. The <br />preferred property is located in the NW quadrant of the interchange area. Construction of the <br />park and ride would require the extension of 215t Avenue north of CSAH 14. In September of <br />2011 the council approved a Letter of Understanding with the City of Centerville authorizing and <br />directing staff to initiate the preliminary engineering for the project upon the landowners placing <br />funds for the preliminary engineering, in escrow. The letter designated Lino Lakes as the lead <br />agency for the improvement. <br />Upon deposit of the required escrow from the benefiting property owners, WSB & Associates <br />completed a concept plan and cost estimates for the improvement. The improvements consist of <br />street, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main, and pedestrian improvements extending from <br />Main Street to approximately a quarter mile north. The estimated cost is approximately <br />$925,000. The costs would be shared between Centerville and Lino Lakes and assessed to the <br />benefitting property owners. Lino Lakes would incur approximately $90,000 in trunk utility <br />oversizing costs. The estimated costs assume that all right -of -way and drainage and utility <br />easements will be dedicated to the City at no cost. <br />City staff is working with the City Attorney to prepare a Petition and Waiver of Appeal <br />agreement for execution by the property owners. Once executed Lino Lakes will need to enter <br />into a joint powers agreement with the City of Centerville prior to ordering the plans and <br />specifications. Both abutting property owners appear to be in support of the project. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Update only. No direction required. <br />Attachments <br />1.
