The City's ability to participate in this project is dependent upon our ability to bond for the
project. Moody's review of the proposed bond issue will be extremely intent. They will double
and redouble their analysis as to whether the agreements between the City and County are clear
as to our ability to use tax increment to fund our part of the project, is the City guaranteed to be
able to use the County's portion of tax increment to reimburse our costs, etc. etc.
Springsted/Holmes & Graven have been re- examining these issues for the past two to three
weeks. I anticipate their findings/report within the next 15 -20 days. Tabling acting on ordering
the project until after that report is received is recommended,

SUBT: Reinitiate Feasibility Study for Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) Improvement Project No. 93 -29
(Carver County Cooperative Project)
A few of the City Council members may recall that the last time this project came before them was in April of
1992. At the time, a feasibility study had been completed and was presented to the Council for improving a section
of Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) from Trunk Highway 5 Ito approximately 2,200 feet south. Following a rather
peaceful public hearing and a great deal of debate amongst the City Council, the project was voted down. This
action was not the result of any objections received concerning the project, but rather, a lack of comfortable
understanding as to what or who Nvas the underlying impetus for the project at that time and even more so, that fact
that there was going to be no County funding participation with the project.
It is no 2' /z years later and this project is once again coming before the City Council but with a totally new look.
The size of the project has more than doubled with the project limits now extending from Trunk Highway 5 south
to Lvman Boulevard. In addition, the City has since entered into'a joint powers agreement with Carver County to
design, construct and finance this proposed Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) improvement project.
One element that does remain the same from the previous project is t1i proposal to assess the abutting business park
properties along the project. Therefore the City is required to take the necessary steps including preparing a
feasibility study which identifies the primary project elements, project costs, and proposed special assessments, and
hold a formal public hearing on .the project.
The project engineer .has provided a ,tentative project as forecasted at this time (see attachment). If
authorized, the feasibility study would be submitted to the City `Council atits regular meeting on December 12, 1994
with a public hearing tentatively scheduled for�January'�9, 1995. During the: ntenm Carver County has schedule
a neighborhood informatonal. meeting for December 8, 1994.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council authorize the reinitiation of?he feasibility study for the Powers
Boulevard (CSAH 17) Improvement Project No. 93- 2p(Carver County Cooperative Project).

Dear Charles:
Thresher Square
700 Third Street So.
A public hearing was held on April 27, 1992, for the above-referenced
project, which included the reconstruction of CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard)
Minneapolis,
from Highway 5 to approximately 2,200 feet south. At that time, the
MN 55415
612/370-0700
Council elected to reject the project due to concerns associated with the
lack of any County funding.

The City has since entered into a Cooperative Agreement with Carver
County to upgrade a number of County roadways within the City,
including CSAH 17. As a result of this agreement, CSAH 17 is scheduled
for reconstruction in 1995. The project scope has also been extended to
include the reconstruction of CSAH 17 an additional 5,600 lineal feet to the
south to Lyman Boulevard.

An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was completed and
Donald W. Ringrose
approved in September, 1994 for the project. The preparation of the EAW
was mandatory as a result of the nature and length of the project. The

EAW did not identify any environmental issues that warranted the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement or would result in a

A project is currently underway to construct a surcharge embankment
along a portion of the roadway to enable it to be widened along an area
of poor soils. The surcharge was required to be constructed in 1994 and
remain inplace over the winter months to consolidate the poor soils for
roadway construction in 1995.

In order for the project to further proceed, the City Council must authorize
the preparation of a feasibility study to detail the scope, estimated costs

and proposed assessments for the project. It is my understanding that the
Anthony Heppelmann
Arijs Pakalns
Martha McPhee
businesses along the north end of the project are to be assessed as
proposed in 1992, but the residential properties along the southern portion
of the project will not be assessed.

Since the roadway is designated as a State Aid route, we will be required
to submit the plans and specifications to MnDOT State Aid for their review
and approval. We propose to submit the plans and specifications for their
review in early March, 1995. Any delays in the State Aid review process
could result in some delays in the project schedule.
Pending City Council authorization, we are prepared to proceed based
upon the schedule detailed above. Please let me know if you have any
questions or we can provide any additional information.
