CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
DATE: January 10, 2000 RESOLUTION NO: 2000-05
MOTION BY: Jansen SECONDED BY: Engel
A RESOLUTION APPROVING TEMPORARY PERMITS TO CONSTRUCT FOR TRUNK
HIGHWAY 5/WEST 78TM STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 97-6
WHEREAS, The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the City of
Chanhassen have been working cooperatively for several years to bring about the reconstruction
of Highway 5 from Powers Boulevard to Highway 41 and the construction of West 78th Street
from Lake Ann Park to Highway 41; and
WHEREAS, The construction phase of the TH 5/West 78th Street Improvement Project
will take two full construction seasons. It is desirable for the construction contract to be awarded
in the early spring of 2000 to take full advantage of the short construction season. However, due
to the lengthy process required for right-of-way acquisition, it appears that construction will not
occur until August of 2000. This will result in Highway 5 being under construction for essentially
three summers with completion by late summer of 2002; and
WHEREAS, MnDOT officials have rescheduled the contract letting for this project from
June 14, 2000 to March 24, 2000 which would allow construction to begin in the spring and
provide for substantial completion by fall of 2001 contingent upon obtaining Temporary Permits
to Construct from property owners.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chanhassen City Council approves
the Temporary Permits to Construct for MnDOT parcel nos. 213,215A, 216D, 219, 220A, 31 lC,
and 321 for City-owned property be approved. By executing the Temporary Permits to
Construct, the City retains all rights to compensation for its property impacted by this project and
helps to insure the construction of Highway 5 and West 78th Street will be substantially completed
by fall of 2001.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this l0th day of January, 2000.
