Kate Aanenson, AICP, Community Development Director DA TE: April 28, 2008 SUBJ: 2030 Comprehensive Plan (Bring your copy of the Draft Plan) BACKGROUND The purpose of this review is to give the City Council a summary of the comments received during the jurisdictional review period. Staff drafted a synopsis of all of the chapters with the comment/issues and City responses. At this meeting, City staff will be reviewing the Parks & Open Space, Sewer, Water and Transportation Sections. The draft document has been revised where appropriate in response to the comments. ANALYSIS Following is a summary of the chapter contents, the comments received and staff's responses. Park & Recreation - Chapter 6 Synopsis: The Park and Recreation chapter of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan provides an overview and an analysis of the City's existing system. It identifies objectives and policies that will guide park and recreation decision making through the year 2030 as well as identifying key initiatives that will be completed to enhance the current park and trail systems. In our community, we have numerous non-city recreational facilities that play an integral role in fulfilling residents' recreational needs. Minnewashta Regional Park, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge, Raguet Wildlife Management Area, golf courses and Camp Tanadoona are all important recreation destinations. Two regional trails owned by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority and managed primarily by Three Rivers Park District can be found in both the southern and northern tiers of the City. In addition, regional trails are located along State Highway 101 and State Highway 5. Issue: Carver County has provided the City with comments regarding the Parks & Open Space Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. (See attached email) Response: Staff believes that the draft Comprehensive Plan is appropriate and should be approved. The City 01 Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a channing downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play. Todd Gerhardt 2030 Comprehensive Plan April 28, 2008 Page 2 Transportation - Chapter 7 Synopsis: The transportation chapter identifies the density and distribution of land uses in the community and their relationship to our transportation system. It provides a functional hierarchy of roadways for our community. It looks at system improvements that will be required within the community and looks at transit services that will be available, and finally it looks at an implementation program. The chapter is divided into six sections: the goals and policies, the land use, MUSA staging and projections, the existing systems, the forecast, alternate modes of transportation or transit, and implementation of goals and policies. Based on Metropolitan Council comments, the City has revised the Traffic Analysis Zones (figure 7-2) to reflect the Met council population, households, and employment projections. Issue: Would it be possible to explain what is involved in a specific project and how it relates to the other infrastructure improvements contained in the Plan? (October 16, 2007 Planning Commission Minutes pages 7-8) Response: The individual chapters describe the proposed improvements. Staff could expand the spreadsheet in Chapter 10, Capital Improvement Program (CIP), of the Plan to link the various improvements contained within a specific project. For example, the 2009 Lyman Boulevard Transportation project consists of widening Lyman Boulevard to four lanes and would include the 2009 Surface Water management street improvements, the 2008 Water Lyman Boulevard loop, and the Parks & Open Space Lyman Boulevard trail improvement projects. The City annually prepares a five-year CIP, which goes into great detail about a specific project. That document has greater accuracy and more detail then is appropriate in a comprehensive plan. Staff has provided copies of corresponding projects in the 2008-2012 CIP. Issue: With bridges falling being in the news, it might behoove us to put a paragraph in there about that our bridges are in satisfactory condition. Response: Bridges meeting the State of Minnesota definition are inspected according to the National Bridge Inspection Standard and are typically inspected everyone to two years depending on their condition. Issue: Straightening Highway 101. Response: The City is in the process of investigating funding for the required studies to realign Highway 101 south. Issue: The City of Eden Prairie has requested that the City designate Dell Road from Highway 5 north to the City limits as a Major Collector and Dell Road from Highway 5 south to the City Limits a B Minor Arterial consistent with their proposed Plan. Dell Road has a design speed of 35 miles per hour. North of Highway 5, the daily traffic volumes in 2003 were 9,349 vpd, and Todd Gerhardt 2030 Comprehensive Plan April 28, 2008 Page 3 south of Highway 5 the daily traffic volumes in 2003 were 15,623 vpd. Additionally, the City's Functional Classification Map shows Lyman Boulevard east of Highway 101 to the east City limits as a Minor Collector, but does not include the roadway in the narrative. Response: Staff recommends that the Transportation Chapter be amended to designate Dell Road from Highway 5 north to the City limits as a Major Collector and Dell Road from Highway 5 south to the City Limits a B Minor Arterial. Additionally, the Minor Collector narrative shall include Lyman Boulevard east of Highway 101 to the east City limits. Sanitary Sewer - Chapter 8 Synopsis: Chapter 8 of the comprehensive plan is Sanitary Sewer. The sanitary sewer plan presents the existing sanitary infrastructure and the general location and size of future sanitary sewer infrastructure under fully developed conditions. Issue: The revised Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) phasing map represents a significant change from the MUSA phasing plan contained in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Additional narrative should be included within the Plan explaining the basis for the change. (October 16, 2007 Planning Commission Minutes pages 12-15) Response: A lift station on the Powers Boulevard extension south of Lyman Boulevard and forcemain from this lift station along the Highway 212 corridor was identified during the last Comprehensive Plan update. During the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update it was determined that timely development of the area directly south of the 2010 MUSA would be necessary to provide financial payback for the considerable cost to install the infrastructure. Secondly, the alignment of the forcemain along the old Highway 212 corridor has been shifted. Originally, the forcemain and sewer would run north through the Bluff Creek Drive corridor to the lift station on the Powers Boulevard extension. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan update shows the forcemain necessary to service this area within the Highway 101 corridor. This change was presented to reduce the depth of the trunk sanitary sewer. There is not enough developable land in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan for the 2010 MUSA to carry us for five years. There is a significant City investment required to extend urban services and there is a need to expand the service area that may connect to the system in a timely manner. Additionally, there are failing septic systems that should be replaced with a centralized sewer system. The Planning Commission requested that staff have an additional neighborhood meeting to discuss the MUSA phasing, land use and Highway 101. Approximately 220 notices were mailed to property owners of the meeting, which was held on November 5, 2007 in the Fountain conference room in City Hall. The meeting was well attended and it appeared that residents' questions were being addressed. Todd Gerhardt 2030 Comprehensive Plan April 28, 2008 Page 4 Issue: When we design for capacity are we going to be okay if our land use were to change? (October 16, 2007 Planning Commission Minutes page 20) Response: The capacity for sanitary sewer and water was analyzed for that area (the proposed regional mall location), and it was determined that medium density development would produce higher sewer flows than a regional mall based on the preliminary information. In addition, sanitary sewers are designed for peak flows, not average flows, so there is a factor of safety intrinsic to the sewer design. Water - Chapter 9 Synopsis: Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive Plan is Water. The water plan identifies the existing trunk and lateral watermain and wells within the City. The general alignment and size of future trunk watermain and the general location of future well sites and future water towers is also shown. Issue: The City has experienced water supply drying up and we have had two wells go dry and the aquifer's dropping. Does the Plan address the state of the aquifer? How are we going to encourage future conservation or what kind of guidelines are we going to put in place? (October 16,2007 Planning Commission Minutes pages 17-19) We need to educate the public that you've got to get these numbers down, which means you may not be watering your lawns as much anymore. Response: The two wells that went dry were in a drift aquifer. Drift aquifers are not as deep as the main aquifer. Future wells are not proposed within drift aquifers. Staff is working with the City Council to determine which conservation practices are most suitable for our community. Council adopted a tiered water rate, meaning that the more water a customer uses, the higher the rate. The City has an emergency management and conservation plan that the DNR is reviewing. The Plan consists of three parts: water supply, emergency response and water conservation. Attached is the water conservation plan being reviewed as well as the DNR response. We are applying for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Educational Grant funds related to water conservation. A TT ACHMENTS 1.
