Item No. /v Staff Report No. Meeting Date: March 23, 1998 • Type of Business: C.B. WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda; CB:Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution No. 5213 Authorizing a Supplemental Feasibility Study for the Proposed Reconstruction of Spring Lake Road / County Road I Project Date of Report: March 20, 1998 At the March 9, 1998 Council meeting, staff was directed to provide estimates and related information in regards to a new street design for the proposed reconstruction or Spring Lake Road and County Road I. The following design will be studied and a supplement provided to the original feasibility report. Spring Lake Road will be constructed at a width of 28 feet from face of curb(FOC)to face of curb the entire length, except for the portion north of County Rd. I in the vicinity of Spring Lake, where right of way limitations exist, limiting any widening. There will be no detached sidewalk/trailway in the sections of 28 foot construction. County Road I will be constructed the entire length at width of 26 feet wide measured from FOC to FOC, with a detached 9 foot sidewalk/trailway constructed in the north right of way. Spring Lake Road will also have a detached path from County I around Spring Lake. Staff spoke with the City Attorney in regards to this procedure in identifying a new project and proceeding with the Charter and Code requirements. Mr. Riggs indicated that a resolution authorizing a supplemental feasibility report including the new design with the current design would be required and an additional pubic hearing and notice for the newly identified project was also necessary. The first resolution is attached for Council's consideration. The resolution setting a public hearing will be presented to Council for consideration after the supplemental feasibility report is received and accepted by Council. The total estimated project cost and unit cost must be included in the resolution that sets the public hearing. It appears that the earliest a public hearing on the new project can be held will be on May 26, 1998, if Council follows the established schedule of regular Council Business Meetings. Since the time of the meeting, staff has been contacted by Michael Findorff, who is a staff engineer with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Mr. Findorff indicated an interest in the proposed project and the agency's possible requirements of a storm water detention pond in the Spring Lake area. Mr. Findorff indicated that the agency had received numerous calls regarding this issue and would like to meet staff at the site. On Monday, March 16, 1998, Steve Campbell, Rocky Keene of SEH and myself met Mr. Findorff, Ms. Haake, Ms. • Malrick, and Mayor McCarty at the site. Explanations were given to the requirements of the MPCA permits for storm water quality ponds and construction projects. If the vacate lot located
