Item No: 7H Meeting Date: October 10, 2011 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7839, Approving a Limited Use Agreement with MV Estates for On-Street Parking on Jackson Drive and Groberg Street Background: MV Estates is an apartment complex at the intersection of County Road I and Jackson Drive and is comprised of seven 8-plex buildings. There are two off-street parking lots that serve the complex. In addition, on-street parking areas adjacent to the property exist on Jackson Drive and Groberg Street. This on-street parking was first considered by the City Council in January 1983 at the request of the MV Estates, who was experiencing difficulties with adequate on-site vehicular parking. In June 1987, the City authorized MV Estates to construct this on-street, bump-out parking area. Attached is an aerial photo of the complex for reference. Discussion: Jackson Drive and Groberg Street were reconstructed this past summer as part of Area D Street and Utility Improvement Project. Jackson Drive is a Municipal State Aid roadway and any on- street parking must meet State Aid Standards. A new configuration for the parking area was required and included in the construction. City staff coordinated these improvements with MV Estates to find a workable solution to the bump-out parking while meeting State Aid requirements. It was also recommended that a more “formal” agreement be drafted to allow this use in the City’s Right-of-Way as well as responsibilities for reconstruction costs. A Limited Use Agreement (LUA) has been prepared by the City Attorney’s office and is attached for Council consideration. MV Estates will be responsible for paying for all construction costs of the bump-out parking on Jackson Drive, including a pro-rated portion of the engineering, legal, and administrative costs. MV Estates is also required to pay for the City Attorney’s cost in preparing the LUA. Recommendation: City staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting the attached resolution that will approve the Limited Use Agreement with MV Estates for on-street parking along Jackson Drive and Groberg Street.
