Public Hearing on the Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area 2026 Street Improvement Project On February 27, 2025, the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project. The City Council accepted the completed study at the November 17, 2025, City Council meeting and called for a public hearing to be held this evening. City Engineer Mark Erichson presented the project location and explained that it involves full pavement removal and replacement, along with construction of a trail on Europa Avenue that will be completed as part of the project but not included in the assessments. He provided background on the City’s pavement management program, which rates roadway conditions every three years to identify areas in need of improvement. The most recent rating, completed in 2024, indicated that the roads within the project area were showing signs of distress and required partial reconstruction to prevent further deterioration. Council Meeting Minutes for December 15, 2025 Page 8 of 11 Erichson presented photos of the current condition of the streets that showed cracking, patching, and distress around manholes. He stated that the project also includes the removal and replacement of street lighting, trail improvements, and improvements at Water Tower Park. He said there had been options discussed with residents along 130th Street, noting that residents on both the north and south sides preferred to widen the roadway by four feet to the north. There would be no room for a trail. Erichson explained how the process outlined in MN Statute Chapter 429 requires a public improvement hearing and assessment hearing. The City also had additional neighborhood meetings. He explained the assessment policy and different options for payment. Property owners have a right to object, and he noted that two letters were received from residents that will become part of the minutes. The estimated project cost was $4,690,400. According to the assessment policy last updated in 2013, the residential assessment for partial reconstruction would be $4,100 per unit and $2,100 per unit for an urban roadway overlay. Commercial properties pay a higher rate. He noted that the majority of project costs are paid by the City. Erichson presented a map of the assessment area noting two areas. One was the residential area north of 130th Street and west of Fenway Boulevard where there is no direct access. The frontage is owned by the homeowner’s association. Those properties will not be assessed with this project, but when improvements take place within the development they will be assessed one full unit. The other area he noted was the residential properties along 140th Street North, and he pointed out that the two letters received were from residents in that area. Erichson provided information on construction impacts and the proposed project schedule. There will be full closure on roadways that access Fenway Boulevard on the west side and one way traffic on Fenway Boulevard. Half the road will be constructed at a time, allowing access to businesses during construction. Construction will take about three months beginning in May or June. If it is authorized this evening, plans will be prepared, and meetings will be held in late January with residents and businesses. An assessment hearing will be held in March, before the contract is awarded. Mayor Weidt opened the public hearing. Jarard Torenvliet, 5436 140th Street North, stated he objected to the proposed assessment, saying the road is in good condition and provides no direct benefit to his property. He said improvements appear to benefit the industrial park. He stated he has had to close the windows to reduce noise from the traffic. Torenvliet submitted a letter objecting to proposed assessments that will be kept as part of the minutes. Council Member Krull asked if his driveway is located on 140th Street North, and Mr. Torenvliet replied it is. Tyler Lessard, 14020 Finale Avenue North, stated he has lived there for 15 years, has young kids and improvements will increase traffic to his neighborhood. He said businesses were not taking care of the sidewalk so it’s unlikely it will be plowed. He said the road was perfectly fine with no potholes or bumps. He had submitted a letter that is attached to these minutes, and he read his letter out loud. Council Meeting Minutes for December 15, 2025 Page 9 of 11 Mayor clarified the project is intended to repair a deteriorating road before full reconstruction is needed, and it is not an effort to increase traffic on the road. He stated that every road in the City is driven on by residents, and he questioned Lessard why he should not be responsible for an assessment. Lessard replied that 99% of the traffic is industrial and that is why it is deteriorating. He said the assessment is not equal to the increase in the value of his house but instead probably decreases it because of safety and traffic issues. Weidt explained that the assessment represents a small portion of the total project cost and benefits the community overall. John Squires, 5336 140th Street North, talked about the lack of maintenance on the trails and amount of traffic. He said between 5:45-6:45 a.m., he witnessed 71 cars and 23 big trucks coming and going. He said he believed the road was fine, and he objected to the assessment. Alex Altstatt, managing partner of three industrial properties including Western Spring, said the roads serving the industrial area are heavier rated roads, and he talked about the impact of the cost to them which is over $50,000 saying 99% of their customers don’t care about the project. He said he appreciated the City’s communication. He questioned what an industrial park tenant would gain by a bike path. Mark replied that assessments are for road improvements only. The trail is the County’s responsibilities and is a cost share between the County and the City. The roadway is not being prematurely reconstructed because of industrial traffic. It is 30 years old. It was built to industrial standard and will be redone to a 30-year standard. He did not understand how improvements would increase truck traffic. Altstatt agreed it would not increase truck traffic to his businesses, and he asked about the streetlights. Erichson replied that the majority of them are not functioning, and Xcel’s 12-year program has expired. He said the lights do not affect the assessment amount. Altstatt said he would prefer more light for security reasons, and he thought it was a good project. Mike Worrel, 14003 Fenway Avenue North, had the opinion that the road was fine. He said he has lived there for 21 years and does not recall it ever being patched. He said his house rattles from the big trucks, and that is what is doing damage to the roads. Galen Carlson, 5451 140th Street North, owner of North County Auto Body, said the project is needed. He questioned if there would be any elevation change to his driveway; he would like to see the road raised. Erichson said the curb and gutter would remain, and he will follow up with Carlson on any existing issues. Council Meeting Minutes for December 15, 2025 Page 10 of 11 Torenvliet agreed there was no intent to increase traffic but as the area is improved, the park will continue to expand. He said the name of the project is “Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Improvement Project” which makes it clear that they are the ones to benefit. He restated that he did not feel there was a benefit to him. Weidt closed the public hearing. Miron asked about the age of the roads and the City’s policy on clearing paths. Erichson replied the roads were constructed in the early 1990s. Community Development Director Rachel Juba added that Public Works puts together a map showing trails and sidewalks that are heavily used, so it is a City directive of what to maintain. Miron asked Erichson if there was documentation on maintenance that had been done on 140th street. Erichson referred to the current pictures of the road showing patching. He added that certain State Aid standards would require more extensive improvements if they waited longer. Squires was concerned that the big trucks will continue to deteriorate the road. Erichson stated that there is a heavy-duty roadway section pavement design that has an extended life as required by State Aid standards for truck traffic. Miron asked about today’s design standards. Erichson replied that standards have changed since 1996 and have improved. Weidt talked about all the work that goes into developing the Capital Improvement Program CIP and how projects are chosen. He stated that from what he heard this project is a good idea but there are concerns about how it is being paid for. He stated that the City tries to be fair and responsible with taxpayer dollars and doing road projects at the right time. Further discussion on assessments will take place at the assessment hearing. Weidt made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2025-54 ORDERING THE PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE 2026 BALD EAGLE INDUSTRIAL PARK AREA STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

Background At is April 21, 2025, meeting staff presented constraints to development in the 165th Street area regarding road improvements, utility extension, land use, and natural resources. Staff put together a scope of work for an AUAR that would analyze multiple development scenarios including land use, infrastructure, environmental assessments, and costs. An AUAR can satisfy State regulations for environmental review of certain types of development and extension of sewer systems. Completing an AUAR allows future development in this area to be “pre-approved” from an environmental review by the State, so development in the area does not have to go through this process with each development application. The City Council authorized staff to move forward with the AUAR. Staff have been working on creating the land use development scenarios and getting background on the infrastructure, environmental assessment, and costs. An open house was held on July 30, 2025, with the property owners in the area to provide information on the AUAR process and get feedback on the development scenarios. Over the past months, staff met with property owners that requested individual meeting to discuss the AUAR and their goals for their property and the area. Staff refined the development scenarios with the feedback provided. On September 16, 2025, there was a joint workshop held with the City Council, Planning Commission, and EDA to discuss the open house and review land use, streets, and utilities. At the workshop staff presented feedback from the open house. There was discussion on not removing all of the industrial and commercial land uses and that interim improvements to 165th Street may be needed to accommodate development. With the feedback, staff have been developing the AUAR and refined the development scenarios and a good start the to the draft is in place. The next step in State process for the AUAR is for the City to formally order the preparation of the AUAR by resolution. A copy of the resolution is enclosed. 2. AUAR Study Area The AUAR study area encompasses approximately 785 acres located in the northwest portion of Hugo, Washington County, Minnesota (Figure 1). The 165th Street Corridor Study Area includes a portion of the Everton Avenue Neighborhood AUAR area. In future AUAR I.1 2 Updates for the Everton Avenue Neighborhood, the 165th Street Corridor Study Area will be removed. 3. Development Scenarios Staff drafted land use development scenarios based on the feedback we received at the open house, individual meetings, and the joint workshop. Scenario 1 is consistent with the land uses in the existing Comprehensive Plan. Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 involve a varying amount of residential, industrial, and mixed use development. Table 1: AUAR Development Scenarios 4. Next Steps Following the AUAR Order, the City will continue preparing a Draft AUAR which will be presented at a future meeting prior to sending it to a required list of agencies and the public for review and comment. There will be another public meeting scheduled in February or March for the development area property owners. Following receipt of comments, updates may be made to the document and a Final AUAR will be redistributed. The May 2025, staff will ask the City Council to adopt the Final AUAR. 5. Staff Recommendation Adopt the resolution ordering preparation of an Alternative Urban Areawide Review for approximately 785 acres surrounding 165th Street between Elmcrest Avenue and properties east of Highway 61 (165th Street Corridor).
