SUBJECT: Dogwood/Tanadoona Street and Utility Project No. 06-06: Call
Assessment Hearing
REQUESTED ACTION (Simple Majoritv Vote ReQuired)
Council is requested to call the assessment hearing for the Dogwood/Tanadoona
Street and Utility Project No. 06-06 for June 11,2007 and approve the attached
resolution.
DISCUSSION
Roadway Improvements
At the public hearing, Council directed staff to design Tanadoona Drive and
Dogwood Road north of the Arbors Development to a width of 26 feet. Also,
Council directed staff to design Dogwood Road in the Arbors Development to the
City's standard 31-foot width. The roadway sections were decided to be
urbanized with curb and gutter.
Staff is still working with two property owners on right-of-way
streets. Staff is anticipating having the right-of-way
completed and ready for Council consideration the night of the
hearing.
Sanitary Sewer and Watermain Improvements
All homes are currently served by individual wells. Three of the
properties are served by a small, city-owned and maintained lift station and
forcemain; the remaining properties are served by individual septic systems.
The proposed utility improvements will provide service to the proposed
development at the southern end of Dogwood Road, The Arbors. Gravity sanitary
sewer will be installed within Dogwood Road and will connect to the lift station at
the southeast corner of Dogwood Road and Tanadoona Drive. The lift station is
proposed to be replaced to handle the ultimate flows for this area. The forcemain
from the lift station to the gravity sewer within Tanadoona Drive is also proposed
to be replaced to convey the additional flow.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

Drainage and Runoff Improvements
The runoff from the Arbors Development will be conveyed to a storm water pond
constructed with the development. This pond will be constructed and paid for by
the developer. The runoff outside of the development is proposed to be directed
to the corner of Dogwood Road and Tanadoona Drive.
Staff has contacted Camp Tanadoona to pursue a drainage and utility easement
over the low area of land on the southwest corner of the Camp property for
ponding. An appraisal has been completed for the proposed easement area and
has been forwarded to the Camp Board for their consideration. The Camp Board
is generally amenable to granting the easement, but is waiting for clarification
from their attorney before executing the easement agreement. If an easement
cannot be acquired, an environmental manhole would be installed to remove some
of the sediment from the roadway prior to draining into Lake Minnewashta.
Bids will be received and opened on Friday, May 11,2007. Final assessment
amounts will be determined based on the lowest responsible bid.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND METHOD OF FINANCING
Special assessments are proposed to be levied against benefiting properties for the
improvements included in this project. The City will assess benefiting property
owners based on the construction bid amount of the improvements.
The costs for the improvements are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting
properties on a per unit basis. The development will be assessed 100% of the
benefit from the project. 100% of the water and sanitary sewer improvements
will be assessed back to the benefiting property owners. 40% of the roadway
improvements will be assessed back to the existing benefiting property owners
consisting with the City's assessment practice.
The estimated assessment for existing properties is $30,106.81 per unit and
$17,455.45 per unit for properties that have existing City sanitary sewer service.
Assessments are proposed for 10 years at 6% interest.
Funding for this project is proposed as follows:
Special assessments
Revolving Assessment Fund
Storm Sewer Utility Fund
Total:
$ 1,541,362
$ 431,163
$ 365,075
$2,337,600
