SUBJ:
Lyman Blvd. Improvements - Project No. 06-03: Approve
Resolution for Advancement of Municipal State Aid Funds
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve Resolution for Advancement of Municipal State Aid Funds for the
Lyman Boulevard Improvements.
BACKGROUND
On November 13, 2007, staff updated the Council on the Lyman Boulevard
project and draft agreements.
PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTION
Currently, Carver County is working on final design construction plans for Lyman
Boulevard for Galpin Boulevard to Audubon Road South, CSAH 15. The project
will widen Lyman Boulevard from a 2-lane rural section to a 4-lane urban divided
roadway section with turn lanes and signals to accommodate the anticipated
future traffic for the corridor. Staff is working with Carver County to evaluate if a
roundabout would be the preferred intersection improvement at Galpin Boulevard.
Three signals are included in the project at the other major intersections. Apid
date of May 2008 is planned with construction starting in June 2008 and final
completion in 2009. The project is proposed at this time to accommodate the
increased traffic on Lyman Boulevard projected from the Chanhassen High
School.
A pedestrian underpass is proposed under Lyman Boulevard between Audubon
Road North and South. This underpass is a critical connection for the City's trail
system. It will connect the new development areas south of Lyman Boulevard in
the 2005 MUSA to the existing trail system north of Lyman Boulevard and to the
High School. A trail is included in the project on the north side of Lyman
Boulevard from Galpin Boulevard to Audubon Road North.
A new crossing for the Twin Cities & WestemRailroad is proposed to match the
new roadway section. New crossing guard arms, roadway approaches and sensors
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.

will be installed. A signal preemption system will be installed when a train is
approaching so the intersection can be cleared.
A 16" trunk watermain will be installed from Galpin Boulevard to Audubon Road
South in conjunction with the High School improvements. The watermain will be
installed in the Lyman Boulevard right-of-way. A 16" trunk watermain from
Audubon Road South to Audubon Road North is proposed to be installed in
conjunction with the Lyman Boulevard improvement project to complete the
trunk watermain looping system under Phase 1. A portion of the cost for the
trunk watermain is proposed to be charged back to the future development.
Watermain and sewer services are proposed to be stubbed to the Holasek
property. These costs are proposed to be added to the connection charges when
the property develops. Due to the schedule of the project, assessing the properties
at this time would be problematic.
ADVANCED MSA FUNDING
The City will be responsible for a large portion of the cost of the project. Staff is
proposing a portion of the City's project costs be paid for with Municipal State
Aid (MSA) funds for the first phase of the project. The City currently does not
have a balance in the MSA account. However, the State does allow for fund
advancements of future MSA yearly allotments. The advancement funds are
competitively applied for by Cities and Counties since the State has a limited
amount of funds to advance. The advancement does not have interest charges
since it is only an advancement on future years' allotments. It is estimated that it
will take 3 years to pay back the advanced funds for the phase 1 project.
Application for Advancement of State Aid funds is due on November 30, 2007.
