ADJOURNMENT Item No: 07B Meeting Date: November 23, 2015 Type of Business: PH & CB City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8467, a Resolution Amending and Restating Resolution 4532, an Enabling Resolution Establishing the Mounds View Economic Development Authority under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.000 through 469.108 Introduction: During the budget review sessions with the City Council earlier this year, the City Council had expressed interest in exploring a separate EDA levy to fund the City’s economic development programs, given that the City’s three original TIF districts will have all expired by the end of this year and as a result, significantly reducing the dollars that had been collected for such purposes. This report summarizes the steps involved to create and approve an EDA levy to support such activities within the City of Mounds View. Discussion: A typical EDA levy is a levy set by a city at the request of the EDA. For example, if the City Council determines that the EDA needs an additional $43,503 to operate in the coming year, the City could increase the general fund levy by 1% and transfer the amount to the EDA. Because the EDA levy is part of the City levy, it is not a “special levy” under state law and thus the EDA levy is subject to the City’s overall levy limit. For 2016, the City’s Charter imposed levy limit is 1%, which did not leave any additional levy space to fund EDA activities. State law provides an alternative to an EDA levy as referenced above, and that would be in the form of an HRA levy. Many EDA-enabling resolutions adopt all the powers of an HRA, in addition to those of an EDA. If so, the EDA may levy a separate tax or “HRA levy,” and then the EDA functions as a special taxing district as if it were an HRA and that levy is NOT subject to levy limits or to city debt limits. An EDA using the levy powers of an HRA is limited to a levy no more than 0.01813 percent of the total taxable market value in the city. For Mounds View, that amount would allow for a maximum levy of $161,236. In researching the enabling language for the Mounds View Economic Development Authority, it was discovered that the enabling language did NOT include the adoption of those powers of an HRA. (Resolution 4532, adopted on March 28, 1994, is attached for your reference.) Thus, for the City Council to adopt an HRA levy to fund our economic development program, the enabling language would need to be amended. Resolution 8467 has been drafted by the City Attorney to accomplish the requisite updates to the EDA’s enabling language. EDA Enabling Language Report November 23, 2015 Page 2 Public Notice: To amend the EDA enabling legislation, Minnesota Statutes require that a written notice of the public hearing be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City once a week for two consecutive weeks prior to the public hearing, the first date of which not occurring more than 30 days prior to the public hearing. The first date of publication was November 6th, the second date of publication one week later, on November 13, 2015. The City Council reviewed the original resolution and the draft resolution amending the EDA enabling language at the November 9, 2015, however due to the noticing requirements, the Council moved to continue the public hearing until November 23, 2015. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council solicit public feedback and consider action on Resolution 8467, a resolution amending and restating Resolution 4532, an enabling resolution establishing the Mounds View Economic Development Authority under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.000 through 469.108.

Questions that had been included to provide context and to test perceptions were suggested to be removed, while an additional question asking whether the respondents had received and reviewed the utility bill flyer or the Mounds View Matters article was proposed for inclusion. The revised survey attached for the City Council’s review and consideration incorporates the recommended revisions. To ensure all residents have an opportunity to provide feedback, a form of the survey will also be available at City Hall and online. Staff will plan to present survey findings in January of 2016.

Background/Discussion: As more and more utilities are placed underground in the street and in the ROW , excavating to place a standard trench box is increasingly more difficult as standard trench box has sides that are rigid and placement is limited. The V-Panel shoring/trench box has individual panels that can be raised allowing the box to be lowered into the trench around other utilities; work can commence without removing or cutting the existing utilities. The V-Panel box, because of its design, will help to reduce the size of the excavation area and provide for a safer work environment for the Public Works staff. Staff received several quotes for the V-Panel Aluminum Shoring Trench Box from the following vendors, with the low quote being from Kundel Industries of Vienna, Ohio. 1. Kundel Industries $8,414.71 plus freight of $389.93 for a total of $8,804.64 2. Heckmann Sales $8,905.00 plus freight of $550.00 for a total of $9,455.00 3.

The City is required to improve the stormwater management with the street reconstruction projects. This stormwater management includes constructing infiltration basins, or rain gardens, in the grass area behind the street curb. This grass area (commonly referred to as the boulevard) is owned by the City and typically extends ten to twenty feet behind the street curb and blends in with your front yard. The infiltration basin will collect part of the stormwater runoff from the new street, allowing it to infiltrate, or soak back into the boulevard ground. You will still be required to maintain and mow the boulevard area in front of your property, as you do now, which will include this infiltration basin after the project is complete. There is no direct cost or special assessment to you for any part of this planned construction. The City invites you to attend a public information meeting (as part of a regular Streets and Utilities Committee meeting) to learn more about these infiltration basins and to provide you the opportunity to ask questions of City staff and design engineers. The meeting details are as follows: PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING FOR STORMWATER INFILTRATION BASINS IN AREA I 7:00 P.M. – MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2015 MOUNDS VIEW CITY HALL – 2401 COUNTY ROAD 10 If you cannot attend the meeting, it will be broadcast live and replayed on Channel 16. You may also stream the meeting broadcast from the City’s website at www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us. A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Stormwater Infiltration Program handout is enclosed for your review. Much of the information in the FAQ handout will be covered and discussed at the public information meeting. You can appeal the decision to construct this infiltration basin next to your property. The City has established an appeal process that includes specific physical conditions or other potential hardships that the appeal must be based upon. All appeals must be submitted by completing a Stormwater Infiltration Program (SIP) Appeal Form. To be considered, all appeals must be received by the Public Works Department no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 2015. All project information, including maps showing proposed infiltration basin locations and appeal forms, is available at City Hall and via the Area I project webpage link at www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us/publicworks. Public Works asks that you review this information and the FAQ handout prior to calling with general questions. If you have specific questions after reviewing this information, please e-mail the Engineering staff at publicworks@ci.mounds-view.mn.us or call 763-717-4050.

Is the City going to take care of the infiltration basin?ke care of the infiltration basin?ke care of the infiltration basin?ke care of the infiltration basin? Yes and no. The City will inspect the infiltration basins and rain gardens on a regular basis to ensure that they function as designed. The property owner is responsible for the on- going regular maintenance of the infiltration basin or rain garden, such as mowing, watering, weed control, leaf raking, etc. The City may clear debris, such as sand, from the curb opening and monitor how quickly the collected stormwater runoff infiltrates. Over time it may be necessary to improve the infiltration rate if the collected runoff does not drain after a few days. This may require aerating or loosening the upper layer of soil, or even removing and replacing the soil in the bottom of the basin. In either case, the City will be responsible for restoring the basin with grass if this sort of major maintenance is required. It’s important that the nearby property owner take proper care of the infiltration basin or rain garden. The entire infiltration basin should be mowed and maintained like the rest of the yard. During hot and dry weather periods, keep the grass taller (2-½ to 3 inches long) and water when showing signs of distress. It’s OK to fertilize and apply weed control. Rain gardens need frequent tending for weed control – shredded hardwood mulch works well for weed control and does not float. Taking ownership and good care of the infiltration basins will increase curb appeal and allow the basin to function properly. QQQQ7777. What will this cost me?. What will this cost me?. What will this cost me?. What will this cost me? There is no direct cost or special assessment for construction of the infiltration basins or street projects (associated with the Street and Utility Improvement Program).

In order to reconstruct the streets and comply with regulatory mandates, the City has to construct a predetermined number of infiltration basins. The locations and dimensions of these infiltration basins are engineered based upon various factors and evaluated using specialized computer software. In short, the infiltration basins are custom fit to each location and there is very little to no wiggle room with eliminating any one of them. However, there may be unusual or unique circumstances specific to your property that the City is not aware. In these cases, the City has established an appeal process that includes specific physical conditions or other potential hardships that the appeal must be based on. All appeals must be submitted by completing the Stormwater Infiltration Program Appeal Form available from the Public Works Department. To be considered, all appeals must be postmarked or submitted to the City by the deadline established for each individual street project. Q9. Where can I get more information?Q9.

The Stormwater Infiltration Program (SIP) is the City’s approach to meeting the stormwater management rules and regulations when reconstructing streets associated with the Program. The SIP is comprised of constructing stormwater infiltration basins, or swales, in the boulevard portion of the City-owned Right-of-W ay (ROW). The City established a process for property owners to appeal the location of an adjacent infiltration basin proposed in this boulevard area in front of their property. A specific set of eleven physical and four hardship parameters must by met for the City to consider the appeal. The City has provided adjacent property owners in Area I the following opportunities to become aware of the City’s intent to construct the infiltration basins in front of their property and to learn more about the proposed basins: Oct. 1, 2015: Notice sent to adjacent property owners (with SIP FAQ handout – see attached) Oct. 19, 2015: Public information meeting for stormwater infiltration basins Oct. 8 - Nov. 5, 2015: Appeal period and opportunity to ask questions of City staff Nov. 5 - 16, 2015: Engineering staff reviews submitted appeals & develops recommendation Nov. 16, 2015: Streets & Utilities Committee considers appeals & provides recommendation Nov. 23, 2015: City Council considers SIP appeals The preliminary design identified 85 properties as candidates for infiltration basins in Area I. The City received four SIP appeal forms by the deadline. One appeal was dropped since it is no longer a candidate due to design progression, leaving three appeals to consider. A copy of the appeal forms and the infiltration basin location maps are attached to this report. Discussion: The following discussion summarizes the appeal for the City Council to consider for approval or denial. Associated property owners attended the Street and Utility Committee meeting on November 16, 2015 and their comments were heard by the Committee. Recommendations from Engineering staff and the Streets and Utilities Committee are at the end of each summary. 2090 Oakwood Drive (Brentley Zaier) – SIP #33 The property owner is appealing for the following reasons: B2. Maintenance Property owner alleges that the proposed basin will result in additional maintenance. The owner also provided documentation of an ongoing disability; however, it is unclear if the disability precludes the owner from maintaining the lawn and boulevard. Note: Staff met with Mr. Zaier regarding his concern about his disability and how an infiltration basin might affect him. He currently maintains his lawn and the installation of a basin in the boulevard in front of his home would not create any additional maintenance effort. → Engineering staff and the Street and Utility Committee recommend denying this appeal. 2193 Terrace Drive (John & Janice Holan) – SIP #76 The property owners are appealing for the following reasons: B2. Maintenance The property owners allege that the proposed basin will result in additional maintenance. They have stated only that they do not like the look and the added care it will take maintain. No physical disability been provided. In addition, the basin should be no more maintenance than a typical boulevard. B4. Other Hardship The property owners allege that the basin will draw additional stormwater toward their home causing concerns about water entering into the basement. In addition, they expressed concern regarding landscaping that has been installed in the boulevard will be removed. The infiltration basin will not increase the water table nor will it cause water to drain toward the structure. Basins are constructed such that once filled any additional water will flow back to the street and enter the stormwater system. Water will not be directed onto private property. In addition, the basin will be constructed in a manner to avoid the existing landscaping. → Engineering staff and the Street and Utility Committee recommend denying this appeal. 2110 Terrace Drive (Benedict Speldrick) – SIP #81 The property owner is appealing for the following reasons: A2. High Groundwater Elevation The property owner alleges that the infiltration feature will cause an increase in the water table. A review of the soil borings in the area show the water table was at least 16 feet below grade. The soils are primarily sand and will allow for adequate drainage. As a result no increased in the water table will result from the infiltration feature. The boulevard will be graded such that stormwater will not drain toward the home. A9. Underground Utilities The property owner alleges that the gas main and water main are installed in the south boulevard. This is true; however the depth of the infiltration feature is only 1’ below curb. Excavation down to 3’ will be required, but this will not affect the existing water main which is required to be significantly below the frost line, typically at least 7 feet below grade. The gas line will likely be replaced prior to Area I being constructed. The engineer will note locations of features to Xcel so that the new gas main can be installed in an appropriate location. Construction of the infiltration feature will not be cost prohibitive. → Engineering staff and the Street and Utility Committee recommend denying this appeal. Recommendation: Engineering staff and the Streets and Utilities Committee conclude that the preceding appeals do not meet any of the physical or hardship parameters with the appeal must be based upon; therefore it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution that will deny the SIP appeals received in Area I of the Street and Utiltiy Improvement Program. Respectfully submitted, Brian Erickson – Director of Public Works/City Engineer RESOLUTION 8482 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA CONSIDER STORMWATER INFILTRATION PROGRAM APPEALS FOR AREA I OF THE STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WHEREAS, The City Council adopted Resolution 7176 on October 22, 2007 establishing the Street and Utility Improvement Program (Program), which includes nine Street and Utility Improvement Projects identified as Areas A through I; and WHEREAS, a Streets and Utilities Committee (Committee) was established through Resolution 7223 on February 11, 2008 to assist in the implementation of the Program, including providing recommendations to the City Council on design or financing issues encountered during the Program; and, WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution 7319 on August 18, 2008 which established the components of the Stormwater Infiltration Program (SIP) to install infiltration basis in the City right- of-way for stormwater management in conjunction with the Program; and, WHEREAS, a SIP appeals process was established by the City Council on August 25, 2008 which identified eleven physical parameters and four hardship parameters that adjacent property owners must use as a basis for appealing the decision to construct a proposed infiltration basin in front of their property; and, WHEREAS, the City Council approved Resolution 8449 on August 24, 2015 authorizing Bolton & Menk, Inc. to perform engineering design services for Area I of the Program, including determination of proposed infiltration basin locations; and, WHEREAS, three property owners submitted a SIP appeal application for consideration by the City Council to approve or deny planned stormwater infiltration basins adjacent to their properties; and, WHEREAS, Engineering staff and the Committee reviewed the submitted appeals on November 16, 2015 and both staff and Committee recommend denying the appeals since no physical or hardship parameters are substantiated in the appeals received. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mounds View, Ramsey County, Minnesota that: 1. The SIP appeals submitted by Brentley Zaier of 2090 Oakwood Drive (SIP #33), John & Janice Holan of 2193 Terrace Drive (SIP #76), and Benedict Speldrick of 2110 Terrace Drive (SIP #81) are hereby denied.

The City is currently in the design phase of the project and would like to discuss the planned improvements for Quincy Street (between County Road I and Hillview Road), Hillview Road (between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street), and Jackson Drive (between Lois Drive and Hillview Road) with adjacent property owners. There is no direct cost or special assessment to you for these planned improvements. The City invites you to attend a short presentation by Engineering staff at the next Streets and Utilities Committee meeting to learn more about the proposed street design and allow the public an opportunity to ask questions and provide any feedback, input, or suggestions. The meeting details are as follows: STREET DESIGN PRESENTATION 7:00 P.M. – MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2015 MOUNDS VIEW CITY HALL – 2401 COUNTY ROAD 10 Background: Quincy Street, Hillview Road, and Jackson Drive are designated roadways on the Municipal State Aid System (MSAS). This designation allows the City to receive funding from the State of Minnesota for its maintenance and construction costs. The City receives approximately $450,000 annually from this funding source. MSAS streets are required to meet State-Aid standards for minimum lane widths, centerline striping, and designated parking lanes. Other streets within Area I will be reconstructed to the city standard of 28’ in width when measured from face of curb to face of curb. In addition, parking will not be restricted on these streets as they are designated as local roads as opposed to being part of the MSAS. Quincy Street, Hillview Road, and Jackson Drive are also designated to be a pedestrian/bicycle corridor in accordance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is the City’s “master plan” to guide future development through the year 2030. The pedestrian/bicycle corridors will create a citywide trail and sidewalk system when complete, connecting neighborhoods to parks, schools, library, civic centers, transit, shopping, and other neighboring city and regional trails and sidewalks. Planned Improvements: These streets will be fully reconstructed with a new asphalt pavement section and concrete curb and gutters similar to other recent street projects. Typical sections of the planned roadway improvements will be shown at the meeting. Parking: Due to relatively low traffic counts and infrequent use of on-street parking, parking is planned on only one side. On- street parking on the opposite side will be prohibited due to state aid requirements. Pedestrian/Bicycle Accommodations: A 6-foot wide, off-street, concrete sidewalk is planned along these streets. The sidewalk will be located immediately behind the curb eliminating a turf boulevard strip. This sidewalk will be maintained by Public Works including snow removal. No dedicated bike lanes are planned, however, the parking lane, can serve as a shared- use lane for bicyclists, joggers, and other non-motorized traffic. If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Public Works at (763) 717-4050 or brian.erickson@ci.mounds-view.mn.us. Thank you.

Engineering staff and the Streets and Utilities Committee both review and provide recommendations to the City Council for non-standard street and financing issues encountered during implementation of the Program. All streets in the Program between 26 and 32 feet wide are reconstructed to the “standard” street width of 28-feet wide (measured from the face to face of vertical curbing). Non-standard streets are those outside of this range and streets designated on the Municipal State Aid System (MSAS) that receive state aid funds for maintenance and construction. In addition to non-standard street widths and lane configurations, streets in the Program that are designated for future sidewalk or trailways (as shown in the Comprehensive Plan map) are also evaluated and recommended for these pedestrian/bicycle accommodations. The City’s engineering staff and its consultant (Bolton & Menk) are currently in the design phase for the Area I project. There are six sections of non-standard streets in Area I. They are: 1. Jackson Drive between Lois Drive and Hillview Road due to its designation as an MSA street, the recommended pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. 2. Jackson Drive between Hillview Road and County Road I because it is recommended as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor in a draft update of the Parks and Trails System. 3. Hillview Road between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street due to its designation as an MSA street, the recommended pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. 4. Hillview Road between Quincy Street and the I-35W Service Road because a portion of it is recommended as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. 5. Quincy Street between the northern dead end and Hillview Road because a portion of it is recommended as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor. 6. Quincy Street between Hillview Road and County Road I due to its designation as an MSA street, the recommended pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. Owners of Area I properties were invited to a public information meeting hosted by the Street and Utility Committee this year on November 16 to discuss the street design (attachment 1). In addition, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission was consulted regarding the possibility of adding a sidewalk along Jackson Drive (segment 2 above). Staff recommendations were a result of the comments from the public and the Commission. Discussion: The six street sections mentioned above have the following existing conditions: 1. Jackson Drive between Lois Drive and Hillview Road a. Right of way 60 feet b. Pavement width 41 feet c. No sidewalk; however the Comprehensive Plan shows proposed accommodations d. Parking allowed both sides e. Two single-family homes on the east side, one single-family home on the west side f. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 920 g. Municipal State Aid Street 2. Jackson Drive between Hillview Road and County Road I a. Right of way 60 feet b. Pavement width of 28 feet c. No sidewalk d. Parking allowed both sides e. Seven single-family homes on the east side; thirteen single-family homes on the west side, primarily back lot lines. f. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 1100 g. Previously Municipal State Aid Street; however, that designation was changed via Resolution 8395 on April 13, 2015. 3. Hillview Road between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street (southern leg) a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 41 feet c. No sidewalk; however, the Comprehensive Plan shows proposed accommodations d. Parking allowed both sides e. Nine single-family homes on the north side, fifteen-single family homes on the south side f. Greenfield Park abuts the north side in two places g. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 400 h. Municipal State Aid Street 4. Hillview Road between Quincy Street (southern leg) and the I-35W Service Road a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 41 feet c. No sidewalk d. Parking allowed both sides e. Nine multi-family homes on the north side, twelve single-family homes on the south side f. Oakwood Park abuts the south side 5. Quincy Street between northern dead end and Hillview Road a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 28 feet c. No sidewalk; however the Comprehensive Plan shows proposed accommodations between Hillview Road and Rustad Lane d. Parking allowed both sides e. One multi-family home and a modular home park on the east side, ten multi- family homes on the west side 6. Quincy Street between Hillview Road and County Road I a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 36 feet c. Existing 5 foot wide sidewalk on the east side as per the Comprehensive Plan d. Parking allowed both sides; however, the 6 foot parking lanes do not meet Municipal State Aid Standards e. Four single family homes on the east side, six single family homes on the west side f. Oakwood Park abuts the east side g. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 2100 h. Municipal State Aid Street The Street and Utility Committee considered each of these sections at their November 16, 2015 meeting. For segments 2, 4, and 5 the Committee recommended a street section of 28 feet from face of curb to face of curb. In addition, the Committee recommended that a 6-foot wide sidewalk be constructed on the east side of Jackson Drive from Hillview Road to County Road I. Jackson Drive would be shifted slightly to the west so that the sidewalk does not encroach any closer than the edge of pavement currently does. For segment 5, the recommended section would include a 6 foot wide sidewalk from Hillview Road to Rustad Lane on the east side of the street. This would be in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan. For segments 1, 3 and 6 the Committee recommended that the streets be reconstructed to a width of 35.5 feet from face of curb to face of curb and that a 6-foot wide sidewalk be constructed on the east side of Jackson (segment 1) and Quincy (segment 6) and the north side of Hillview (segment 3). In addition, an 8-foot parking lane would be constructed on the west side of Jackson (segment 1), the south side of Hillview (segment 3) and the east side of Quincy (segment 6). For the opposite sides of these streets have a 5.5-foot wide shoulder constructed and no parking would be allowed. This recommended section would match with the existing section constructed on Hillview Road as part of the Area F reconstruction, and establish a consistent corridor from Long Lake Road. In addition, these proposed sections would meet Municipal State Aid standards. Recommendation: Public Works recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorizing the following: 1. Jackson Drive between Lois Drive and Hillview Road is to be reconstructed at 35.5 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the east side, a 5.5-foot wide shoulder on the east side and an 8-foot wide parking lane on the west side. No parking will be allowed on the east side of the street. This section does meet MSA requirements. 2. Jackson Drive between Hillview Road and County Road I is to be reconstructed to 28 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the east side. There will be no parking restrictions. 3. Hillview Road between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street is to be reconstructed at 35.5 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the north side, a 5.5-foot wide shoulder on the north side and an 8-foot wide parking lane on the south side. No parking will be allowed on the north side of the street. This section does meet MSA requirements. 4. Hillview Road between Quincy Street and the I-35W Service Road is to be reconstructed to 28 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the north side between Quincy Street (southern leg) and Quincy Street (northern leg). There will be no parking restrictions. 5. Quincy Street between northern dead end and Hillview Road is to be reconstructed to 28 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the east side between Hillview Road and Rustad Lane. There will be no parking restrictions. 6.

Adopted this 23rd day of November, 2015 ____________________________________ Joe Flaherty, Mayor ATTEST: ____________________________________ James Ericson, City Administrator (SEAL) Item No: 7H Meeting Date: November 23, 2015 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Brian Erickson, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8483, Approving Non-Standard Street Design and Parking Restrictions for Area I of the Street and Utility Improvement Program Background: The Street and Utilities Task Force developed street standards for use in the Street and Utility Improvement Program (Program). Engineering staff and the Streets and Utilities Committee both review and provide recommendations to the City Council for non-standard street and financing issues encountered during implementation of the Program. All streets in the Program between 26 and 32 feet wide are reconstructed to the “standard” street width of 28-feet wide (measured from the face to face of vertical curbing). Non-standard streets are those outside of this range and streets designated on the Municipal State Aid System (MSAS) that receive state aid funds for maintenance and construction. In addition to non-standard street widths and lane configurations, streets in the Program that are designated for future sidewalk or trailways (as shown in the Comprehensive Plan map) are also evaluated and recommended for these pedestrian/bicycle accommodations. The City’s engineering staff and its consultant (Bolton & Menk) are currently in the design phase for the Area I project. There are six sections of non-standard streets in Area I. They are: 1. Jackson Drive between Lois Drive and Hillview Road due to its designation as an MSA street, the recommended pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. 2. Jackson Drive between Hillview Road and County Road I because it is recommended as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor in a draft update of the Parks and Trails System. 3. Hillview Road between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street due to its designation as an MSA street, the recommended pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. 4. Hillview Road between Quincy Street and the I-35W Service Road because a portion of it is recommended as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. 5. Quincy Street between the northern dead end and Hillview Road because a portion of it is recommended as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor. 6. Quincy Street between Hillview Road and County Road I due to its designation as an MSA street, the recommended pedestrian/bicycle corridor and its width. Owners of Area I properties were invited to a public information meeting hosted by the Street and Utility Committee this year on November 16 to discuss the street design (attachment 1). In addition, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission was consulted regarding the possibility of adding a sidewalk along Jackson Drive (segment 2 above). Staff recommendations were a result of the comments from the public and the Commission. Discussion: The six street sections mentioned above have the following existing conditions: 1. Jackson Drive between Lois Drive and Hillview Road a. Right of way 60 feet b. Pavement width 41 feet c. No sidewalk; however the Comprehensive Plan shows proposed accommodations d. Parking allowed both sides e. Two single-family homes on the east side, one single-family home on the west side f. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 920 g. Municipal State Aid Street 2. Jackson Drive between Hillview Road and County Road I a. Right of way 60 feet b. Pavement width of 28 feet c. No sidewalk d. Parking allowed both sides e. Seven single-family homes on the east side; thirteen single-family homes on the west side, primarily back lot lines. f. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 1100 g. Previously Municipal State Aid Street; however, that designation was changed via Resolution 8395 on April 13, 2015. 3. Hillview Road between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street (southern leg) a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 41 feet c. No sidewalk; however, the Comprehensive Plan shows proposed accommodations d. Parking allowed both sides e. Nine single-family homes on the north side, fifteen-single family homes on the south side f. Greenfield Park abuts the north side in two places g. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 400 h. Municipal State Aid Street 4. Hillview Road between Quincy Street (southern leg) and the I-35W Service Road a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 41 feet c. No sidewalk d. Parking allowed both sides e. Nine multi-family homes on the north side, twelve single-family homes on the south side f. Oakwood Park abuts the south side 5. Quincy Street between northern dead end and Hillview Road a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 28 feet c. No sidewalk; however the Comprehensive Plan shows proposed accommodations between Hillview Road and Rustad Lane d. Parking allowed both sides e. One multi-family home and a modular home park on the east side, ten multi- family homes on the west side 6. Quincy Street between Hillview Road and County Road I a. Right of way 66 feet b. Pavement width 36 feet c. Existing 5 foot wide sidewalk on the east side as per the Comprehensive Plan d. Parking allowed both sides; however, the 6 foot parking lanes do not meet Municipal State Aid Standards e. Four single family homes on the east side, six single family homes on the west side f. Oakwood Park abuts the east side g. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 2100 h. Municipal State Aid Street The Street and Utility Committee considered each of these sections at their November 16, 2015 meeting. For segments 2, 4, and 5 the Committee recommended a street section of 28 feet from face of curb to face of curb. In addition, the Committee recommended that a 6-foot wide sidewalk be constructed on the east side of Jackson Drive from Hillview Road to County Road I. Jackson Drive would be shifted slightly to the west so that the sidewalk does not encroach any closer than the edge of pavement currently does. For segment 5, the recommended section would include a 6 foot wide sidewalk from Hillview Road to Rustad Lane on the east side of the street. This would be in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan. For segments 1, 3 and 6 the Committee recommended that the streets be reconstructed to a width of 35.5 feet from face of curb to face of curb and that a 6-foot wide sidewalk be constructed on the east side of Jackson (segment 1) and Quincy (segment 6) and the north side of Hillview (segment 3). In addition, an 8-foot parking lane would be constructed on the west side of Jackson (segment 1), the south side of Hillview (segment 3) and the east side of Quincy (segment 6). For the opposite sides of these streets have a 5.5-foot wide shoulder constructed and no parking would be allowed. This recommended section would match with the existing section constructed on Hillview Road as part of the Area F reconstruction, and establish a consistent corridor from Long Lake Road. In addition, these proposed sections would meet Municipal State Aid standards. Recommendation: Public Works recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorizing the following: 1. Jackson Drive between Lois Drive and Hillview Road is to be reconstructed at 35.5 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the east side, a 5.5-foot wide shoulder on the east side and an 8-foot wide parking lane on the west side. No parking will be allowed on the east side of the street. This section does meet MSA requirements. 2.

Hillview Road between Jackson Drive and Quincy Street is to be reconstructed at 35.5 feet in width and have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the north side, a 5.5-foot wide shoulder on the north side and an 8-foot wide parking lane on the south side. No parking will be allowed on the north side of the street. This section does meet MSA requirements. 4.

SRO Leitch returns to this assignment at Edgewood School after 9 years, when he previously served as the SRO. SRO Leitch comments on how many school staff members have turned over, yet many veteran staff continue to provide their dedicated service to the students. The staff at Edgewood has taken a very proactive approach with students this year, not only with any educational, social, or behavioral issues, but also with students making it to class on time. So far this year, 99% of Edgewood students have made it to class on time! This is a significant improvement over previous years. This year also brought a change in after school activities, particularly in after school sports. Students are now transported by bus from the surrounding middle schools to compete with each other in their athletic events. Proactive efforts by the school have kept incidents requiring law enforcement intervention to a minimum with no significant incidents reported. 8 Only 5 students reported lost cell phones during the first month of the school year, which is quite low considering all the students carrying phones. Unfortunately, bullying and harassment is still an issue occurring in many of our schools. At Edgewood, this is something that is taken very seriously, so anti-bullying and harassment is still taught to the students. The staff constantly encourages students and their parents to report any type of bullying or harassing behavior. Canine (K-9) Report From July 1st to September 30th 2015, the K9 team responded to a total of 66 calls for service. In July, the K9 team had the following deployments: 4 area searches and suspect tracks 2 narcotics searches 1 assist in making an arrest. On July 17th, the K9 team was requested to attend the ceremony for the new Blaine K9 receiving a K9 ballistic vest. The K9 team had previously performed a demo one year earlier for the Blaine Girl Scout troop. The impact of the demo led the Girl Scout troop to pursue the task of raising money for a K9 vest. Our K9 team already had a vest, but Blaine PD was acquiring a new K9 and were in need of a vest. The girl scouts raised the money for the vest and hosted a ceremony at Blaine City Hall.
