2009. The project is proposed at this time to accommodate the increased traffic
volumes on Lyman Boulevard anticipated 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 in the 2005
MUSA to the existing trail system north of Lyman 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 South. A 130' boardwalk is planned to span a
wetland north of the trail underpass to direct pedestrians to the underpass rather
than the intersection of Audubon north and Lyman Boulevard.
A new railroad crossing for the Twin Cities and Western Railroad is proposed to
match the new roadway section. New crossing guard arms, roadway approaches
and sensors will be installed. A signal pre-emption system will be installed when
a train is approaching so the intersection at the signal can be cleared.
An 18" trunk watermain will be installed from Galpin Boulevard to Audubon
Road South in conjunction with the High School improvements. Most of the
watermain to be installed is included in the High School improvement project.
The watermain will be installed in the Lyman Boulevard right-of-way. An 18"
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. An additional 8"
stub will be installed on the east side of Audubon. A portion of the cost for the
trunk watermain is proposed to be charged back to the future development as
connection charges. Watermain and sewer services are proposed to be stubbed to
the Holasek property. These costs are also proposed to be charged back to the
property as connection charges when the property develops or may be paid
upfront without interest. Because of the timing of the project, and since the
Lyman project is being lead by the County, going through an assessment process
would be problematic.
Four signal systems are included in the project at this time. The existing signal at
Audubon Road (CSAH 17) and Lyman Boulevard will be replaced. A signal will
be added at Lake Hazeltine Drive and Lyman Boulevard and a signal will be
installed at the north entrance to the High School. At this time, an additional
signal has been added to the project at the intersection of Galpin Boulevard and
Lyman Boulevard. This signal installation should be contingent on the property
owner to the south of the intersection and the sole beneficiary of the south leg of
the intersection paying for this leg of the signal. Also, a right turn lane to this
property should also be installed in conjunction with the signal. These costs
should also be passed on to the property owner. Staff has been discussing these
improvements with the property owner but has not finalized an agreement.

Most of the roadway improvements on Lyman Boulevard will take place during
the 2008 construction season. A two month closure of Lyman Boulevard from
Audubon North to Audubon South is planned to complete soils correction and
install the box culvert pedestrian underpass. This section of roadway is planned
to be reopened on or before September 1,2008. A significant amount of private
utilities will need to be moved prior to most of the soils correction work taking
place. Lyman Boulevard from Galpin Boulevard to Lake Hazeltine Drive is
anticipated to be closed the entire construction season, possibly until November.
Access to Lake Hazeltine Drive will be maintained throughout the project.
Detour of Lyman Boulevard is planned for TH 101 east of Audubon Road and a
detour on Galpin Boulevard for the traveling public east of Galpin Boulevard.
Powers Boulevard will be used as a detour if this section of roadway is opened
sooner than expected.
In 2009, the work on Lyman Boulevard from Lake Hazeltine Drive to Audubon
Road South including the reconstruction of Audubon Road South of Lyman
Boulevard is anticipated to be completed by June 30, 2009 with a 2-month closure
of Audubon Road and Lyman Boulevard at this intersection. Final completion is
planned for July 19,2009.

FUNDING
The roadway project will require right-of-way to be acquired to accommodate the
wider street width. Carver County is completing a right-of-way plat for the
project. The roadway agreement for the project stipulates Chanhassen and
Chaska will acquire the property. Funding for the right-of-way is to be paid for as
stipulated in the roadway agreement. The City of Chanhassen will be responsible
for 45% of the right-of-way costs, Carver County 45% and the City of Chaska
10%. The estimated cost for right-of-way is $900,000. Staff has obtained
appraisals for the properties in Chanhassen. At this time, the only properties that
should need to be acquired are the properties at the intersection of Lyman
Boulevard and Audubon Road South (CSAH 15) and the property directly south
of the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 19). The
property owners have been made aware of the project and offer letters were sent
out on February 15,2008. In the event that a reasonable offer cannot be

negotiated, a condemnation proceeding may be necessary for the project. Staff
would like to avoid this option if at all possible but the City should keep all
options open. Condemnation proceedings take approximately four months to
complete. To keep the project on schedule, a quick take is planned for early June.
Funding for the project is proposed to come from several sources. The City of
Chanhassen will be responsible for 45% of the project costs, Carver County 45%
and the City of Chaska 10% for the section midway between CSAH 19 and
TC&W railroad to midway between Audubon Road South and Audubon Road
North. The City of Chanhassen will be responsible for 40.29% of the project cost,
Carver County 40.29%, and City of Chaska 19.41 % for the segment west of the
main project area. Chaska School District 112 will be contributing $1,000,000 to
the construction project and will be dedicating land. The land value dedicated is
not included in the costs. MnDOT has allowed Chanhassen's Municipal State
Aid (MSA) funds to be advanced three years for use on an off-system corridor.
The advancement of funds means the City will not have available funds until
2012 for City collector roadway projects or future phases of Lyman Boulevard
Improvements unless more funds become available by the State.
