Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for September 18, 2017 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />borings, and surveying. Erichson recommended that a neighborhood meeting be scheduled for <br />October 19, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. in the Rice Lake Center. <br />Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to identify the Oneka Lake Boulevard/Harrow Avenue <br />project as the 2018 Roadway Improvement Project and authorize staff to begin preliminary work <br />as necessary, <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Discussion on 130" Street North Street Improvements <br />City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the 130th Street project is one they would like to initiate <br />and begin preliminary work on. The project area is between TH61 and Goodview Avenue. This <br />is the area of the Adelaide Landing Development and is to coincide with development. Now that <br />Adelaide has approval, the development agreement identifies the developer to pay 44% of the <br />street project with 1/3 due with each of the first three phases, with a total cost of $1,566,520. <br />The Beaver Ponds Development had previously contributed funds towards these improvements, <br />and there would be no assessments. Erichson talked about the project design which included a <br />roundabout and pedestrian trail. It is tentatively a 2019 project, but Erichson explained they <br />would like to start working with the property owners and coordinate improvements that are part <br />of the adjacent development. This would push some CIP projects back one year, but he saw <br />value in starting this process early. He asked for Council approval to evaluate designs, work <br />with the development team, and complete the wetland delineation and soil borings. <br />The Council talked about the need to get the proje q on ; evaluate the 130th Street/TH61 <br />intersection, and consider the heavy equipment on 1 th Street as part of the development work <br />to avoid tearing up a new road.

Motion carried. <br />4n <br />Discussion on Forest Road Bridp_e <br />City Engineer Mark Erichson discussed with Council the Forest Road Bridge that spans over JD2 <br />on the west side of TH 61. In 2016, the bridge was inspected, which led to the removal of <br />accumulated class 5 aggregate surfacing on the bridge and weight restriction postings (lower <br />than the weight of our motor grader). There are no records or bridge plans for this structure; <br />therefore, assumptions based on the typical construction materials and design at that time were <br />made to determine its load carrying capacity. The bridge is a single span concrete slab bridge <br />that was built in 1920 with substandard elements (17 -ft wide, approaches, lack of barrier etc.). <br />There are approximately 60 vehicle trips over the bridge per day. Erichson provided options for <br />improvement to the bridge with included replacement with a concrete slab bridge, box culvert, or <br />beam bridge. Erichson stated the project cost was estimated at $600,000 and can fit into the CIP <br />without affecting future project schedules. The City could seek bridge bonding funds, but plans <br />needed to be developed first. <br />
