Adjourn WS – Item 1 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 1 Date: October 3, 2016 To: City Council From: Michael Grochala Re: I-35W North Corridor Improvements Background The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is currently completing preliminary design of the 35W North Managed Lanes Project. The proposed project will add a lane in each direction from Highway 36 to Lexington Avenue in Blaine. The lanes will be managed under the MnPass program. Eight (8) additions spot improvements along the corridor are also being recommended as part of the project. Construction is anticipated to start in 2019. While the added lane only extends to Lexington Avenue the project will involve some resurfacing work past Sunset Avenue and into Lino Lakes. As a result, a noise wall is being proposed for the south side of the interstate within Lino. There are no proposed City costs and no proposed City maintenance responsibilities. Since the project extends into Lino Lakes, Mn/DOT has requested municipal consent from the City as with other municipalities along the corridor. The procedure for municipal consent is as follows: 1. City schedules and holds a public hearing. The City Council held the required hearing on August 22, 2016. 2. City passes a resolution, within 90 days of the public hearing, approving or disapproving the project layout. The City has until October 30, 2016 to act on the request. If no action is taken by the City within 90 days, the layout is deemed approved. 3. If City disapproves, Mn/DOT may decide to: a. Meet the City’s condition b. Go to the appeal process c. Stop the project or scale the project down so that municipal consent is no longer required. 4. Alternatively, the City could waive its right to municipal consent. The City’s review, with regards to the layout approval, is limited to the project elements with the City. A city cannot impose a condition on its approval that is outside of the city’s boundaries. Following the August 22, 2016 public hearing, at the request of council, a resolution was drafted approving the layout, but opposing the designation of the new lanes as MnPass lanes. The resolution was distributed to the City Council for discussion at the September 6, 2016 work session (attached as Resolution No. 80A). Mn/DOT staff were present to discuss the project and answer questions. Mn/DOT staff were asked to review the resolution and determine if it was acceptable for consent of the project. Mr. Mark Lindeberg, North Area Engineer, has responded that Mn/DOT has determined that the proposed resolution does deny municipal consent because it opposes and restricts how the lanes are signed and operated. If approved, Mn/DOT will have to decide on how to proceed with the Resolution: 1. Mn/DOT can continue to work with the City on the concerns identified by Lino Lakes. 2. Mn/DOT can proceed to the Appeal Process for Municipal Consent 3. Mn/DOT can modify the scope & schedule of the project so that Municipal Consent is no longer required by Lino Lakes. This would mean removal of the noise wall and other improvements within Lino Lakes. Mr. Lindeberg has offered to continue to work with the City on verbiage acceptable to both the City Council and Mn/DOT. Staff has reviewed Mn/DOT’s comments with the City Attorney. Mr. Langel drafted an alternative resolution that modifies the recitals to reflect the Council’s general opposition to MnPass Lanes but otherwise approves the layout (Attached as Resolution No. 16-80B). Mn/DOT staff is in agreement with this language. Alternatively, the council may wish to consider a resolution that simply approves the project layout (Attached as Resolution No. 16-80C). The City Council also requested references to state statutes regarding MnPass and fees. The specific statutory provisions are attached. Mn/DOT staff noted that they misspoke when stating that fee limits where set by statute. Minn. Statutes 160.93 and 160.845 provide authorization for the Commissioner of Transportation to set fees and addresses how the revenue must be used. Mn/DOT added that since MnPass lanes opened in 2005, the fee for solo motorist to drive in the lanes during peak drive times has stayed between $.25 and $8. Transit, vehicles with two or more occupants, including children and infants, and motorcycles do not have to pay a fee to drive in the lanes. Mr. Lindberg stated that should the need arise in the future to consider increasing the maximum fee Mn/DOT would involve corridor users and consult the legislature before proceeding. Additional information on the project can be found on the Mn/DOT project website at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/i35wroseville/index.html. Requested Council Direction Staff is requesting determination by the council of a preferred resolution for consideration at the October 10, 2016 Council meeting. Attachments 1.

The preliminary plat is a 35 lot single family residential subdivision located on a 30 acre parcel north of Birch Street and east of Hokah Drive. On September 26, 2016, Council approved a Development Agreement-Grading Only by Resolution No. 16-108. The developer, Jamie Jensen of St. Clair Land Company, has submitted revised plans and final plat. Preliminary Comments: 1. As a condition of the preliminary plat, the south cul de sac was “flipped” to the east to allow for potential future connection to Birch Street as part of an Anoka County highway safety improvement project. The redesign of the cul de sac eliminated 1 lot on the east side of Enid Trail but created 2 lots on the west side for a net gain of 1 lot. The preliminary plat was approved with 35 lots and the final plat is proposing 36 lots. 2. Staff reviewed potential traffic impacts of the additional lot. Estimated full build average daily trips (ADT) on either Hokah Drive (455) or Sioux Lane (670) even with the additional 1 lot are still under the 1,000 ADT threshold. 3. Homeowner Association a. The infiltration basin shall be platted as an outlot and deeded to the HOA. b. All 36 lots shall be part of the HOA. c. A Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions shall be drafted by the developer that includes a detailed Landscape Planting Plan and Landscape & Stormwater Facilities Maintenance Plan. d. The HOA By-Laws shall be revised accordingly. 4. Anoka County Highway Department a. They have reviewed and approved the final plat. 2 b. As discussed during the preliminary plat, the County will analyze the feasibility of connecting Enid Trail to Birch Street as part of their 5 year Capital Improvements Plan. c. A temporary construction access from Birch Street will be allowed. 5. The revised plans and final plat are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compliant with the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Requested Council Direction None. The revised plans and final plat will be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Board on October 12, 2016 and presented to the City Council on October 24, 2016 for consideration of approval. Staff wanted to discuss the revised plans and final plat at the Council work session on October 3, 2016 to give adequate time for questions and answers. Attachments 1. Neighborhood Map 2.
