City of Elk az — River Request for Action To Item Number Mayor and City Council 8.4 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by General Business March 7, 2016 Justin Femrite, P.E., City Engineer Item Description Reviewed by 2017 Street Improvement Project Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Approve, by separate motions, the following items: 1. Project scope for Ridgewood East project area; 2. Direction on property acquisition for CSAH 1 /TH 10 area mobility improvements; 3. Approve staff soliciting for professional services to complete final design and project administration. Background/Discussion On January 4, 2016, Council directed staff to survey Ridgewood East area residents to determine their interest in city installation of sewer and water service as part of our resurfacing work. Letters were sent to all 94 affected property owners and of the 52 respondents, 17% supported the installation of sewer and water as part of the project. The City Council must decide if this represents enough support to further study the installation or move forward with the project without utility installation. If it is decided to not install utilities, staff recommends the streets be replaced to match existing conditions. Possible mobility improvements to the intersection of CSAH 1 at TH 10 have long been discussed. In order to facilitate a right turn lane for southbound CSAH 1 traffic at TH 10, 6"' Street would need to be disconnected from the west side of CSAH 1 and terminate with a cul-de-sac. We have had preliminary discussions with one of the affected property owners who controls many of the properties on this block. They are in the very preliminary stages of looking at how they might redevelop their properties in the future. Without the city procuring needed right-of-way (3 separate parcels, including two houses) the county does not desire to move ahead with procuring right-of-way along their corridor to facilitate the expanded roadway and turn lanes. Staff is asking council for their desire to move forward with acquiring the needed right of way to complete modifications to the local system. With direction provided on Items 1 and 2 listed above, staff can fully scope the services needed to deliver this project. Staff is seeking approval to solicit for said services by preparing a request for proposal that will be advertised on the League of Minnesota Cities and city websites. Financial Impact There is no financial impact associated with this item. Attachments ■ Preliminary 2017 Street Improvement project area map P a w E A E U s r NaA f RE]
