City Council Meeting [Consent Agenda Item 9]

The County is requesting from the City of Lake Elmo a resolution of support for the Phase 1
CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) Improvements, as described by the attached County memorandum and layout exhibit. The improvements include a signalized intersection at CSAH 10 and at the south entrance of the Oakland Jr. High School, associated intersection turn lane improvements, drainage provisions, and a bituminous trail along the boulevard adjacent to Oakland Jr. High
School.
In accordance with the County Cost Participation Policy, the County is requesting City cost participation for these improvements in the amount of $36,930. This includes $12,610 for 55% share for right-of-way acquisition at the northwest intersection of CSAH 10 and CSAH 15;
$13,200 for 50% share for a bituminous trail and concrete pedestrian ramps adjacent to Oakland
Jr. High School and at the intersection of CSAH 10; and $11,120 for 50% share for concrete curb and gutter along the west side of Manning Avenue. Municipal Consent expresses the City’s support for the project and more specifically for the
preliminary design layout as presented. Municipal Consent allows the County to proceed with
the final project design and property acquisition with the intention to begin construction in 2016. Upon completion of the final design the County will request the City to enter into a Cooperative Agreement for the Project outlining the City’s cost obligations and other provisions as may be deemed appropriate.
Upon review by City staff, it should be noted that the preliminary layout provides for a signalized intersection at the south school entrance. This intersection is near the required future City street access location based upon CSAH 15 access spacing guidelines. However, at the time that a development or other purpose requires a City street connection to Manning Avenue in this
vicinity, it is highly probable that the entire intersection, including the traffic signals proposed by
this project will need to be relocated at City cost or at the cost of a prospective developer. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council consider approving, as part of the Consent Agenda,
Resolution No. 2015-80 providing Municipal Consent for the Phase 1 CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) Improvements. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2015-80 approving County State Aid Highway 15 (Manning Avenue) Phase 1 Improvements within Municipal Corporate Limits.” ATTACHMENT(S):
