DATE: June 4, 2019
REGULAR
AGENDA ITEM: CSAH 19 and Hudson Boulevard Intersection Improvements – Approve
Drainage and Utility Easement Agreement
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Sarah Sonalla, City Attorney
Chad Isakson, Project Engineer
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve a drainage and utility easement agreement
for the CSAH 19 and Hudson Boulevard Intersection Improvements?
BACKGROUND: On April 16, 2019 the City Council approved the plans and specifications for the
CSAH-19 and Hudson Boulevard Intersection Improvements and authorized staff to advertise the Project
for bids. Bids were received on May 14, 2019 and will be presented for council review and approval.
The improvements include the installation of a traffic light at CSAH-19 and Hudson Boulevard with
dedicated left and right turn lanes constructed along each of the Hudson Boulevard approaches. The turn
lane and geometric roadway improvements require the reconstruction of Hudson Boulevard from 1,000 feet
west of Keats Avenue to 900 feet east of Keats Avenue. The improvements include the addition of storm
sewer improvements and a stormwater infiltration basin. The scope of improvements remains consistent
with the preliminary plans that were approved by the City Council on December 4, 2018.
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: To facilitate the improvements the City must acquire approximately
1.5 acres of permanent drainage and utility easement and/or right-of-way, and about 0.6 acres of temporary
construction easement to construct a storm water infiltration basin. The storm water facility is proposed in
the northeast quadrant of the intersection, located on Parcel ID 3502921330001.
The City has successfully negotiated the acquisition of the required easements and has prepared the attached
drainage and utility easement agreement to outline the agreement terms. Staff is requesting Council to
approve the drainage and utility easement agreement to allow construction to proceed for the CSAH-19 and
Hudson Boulevard Intersection Improvements.
Other acquisition needs are minor and include approximately 1,500 sf of permanent drainage and utility
easement and/or right-of-way from MFC Properties, and roughly 11,000 sf of temporary construction
easement from MFC Properties and the Ebertz property. City staff is currently in negotiations to acquire
these easements.
FISCAL IMPACT: $103,750. The easement acquisition cost is included in the estimated total project cost
for the project as presented in the award of the Hudson Boulevard project agenda item.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the drainage and utility
easement agreement with the property owner of Parcel ID 3502921330001. The recommended motion for
this action is as follows:
“Move to approve the drainage and utility easement agreement with the property owner of
Parcel ID 3502921330001.”
