FISCAL IMPACT: 1) Upper 33rd Street Revisions – No Cost. The revised Upper 33rd Street plan includes striping alterations within the quantities already approved in the contract. 2) Library Parking Lot - $77,200. Staff was requested by the Library Board to provide a design and cost estimate to construct a paved parking lot east of the Library facility. The cost to design and construct the proposed parking lot is approximately $77,200 using the contractor’s unit prices for the Phase 1 Downtown Improvements. Funding for this expense would be 100% from the Library Fund. City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 9] November 17, 2015 -- page 2 -- SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving the proposed Upper 33rd Street striping revisions for the Phase 1 Downtown Street, Drainage, and Utility Improvements as requested by the property owner at 11320 Upper 33rd Street. The recommended motion for this action would be as follows: “Move to [approve or deny] the Upper 33rd Street striping revisions for the Phase 1 Downtown Street, Drainage, and Utility Improvements.” Furthermore, the City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving the proposed Library parking lot improvements as requested by the Library Board to be funded by the Library Fund. The recommended motion for this action would be as follows: “Move to [approve or deny] the Library parking lot improvements to be constructed in conjunction with the Phase 1 Downtown Street, Drainage, and Utility Improvements.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lake Elmo was approached by the property owner located at 11320 Upper 33rd Street North to review shifting the new roadway constructed north away from his existing commercial building. Upon extensive staff review, property ownership and right-of-way verification, and the improvements previously approved by Council it was determined that it is not possible to shift the roadway further north. To address the property owner’s concerns, staff worked with the design engineer to propose a revised striping plan which would direct traffic further away from the building by repurposing the drive lane locations within the paved surfaces. By changing only the pavement striping the roadway improvements, including curb locations, were constructed as originally proposed. The impact of the proposed restriping plan is the elimination of 5 on-street public parking spaces. Staff received a request from the Library Board to consider constructing a parking lot on City owned property east of the Library building. A draft layout was prepared and presented to the Library Board for consideration. The cost of the improvements as provided by North Pine Aggregate (current contractor working in the Village) is estimated at $77,200. A decision to proceed with this work is needed by November 20, 2015 to retain this quoted price for the work. The library board will meet on November 18, 2015 to consider the improvements as presented. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving the proposed Upper 33rd Street striping revisions for the Phase 1 Downtown Street, Drainage, and Utility Improvements as requested by the property owner at 11320 Upper 33rd Street. The recommended motion for this action would be as follows: City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 9] November 17, 2015 -- page 3 -- “Move to [approve or deny] the Upper 33rd Street striping revisions for the Phase 1 Downtown Street, Drainage, and Utility Improvements.” Furthermore, the City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving the proposed Library parking lot improvements as requested by the Library Board to be funded by the Library Fund.
