SUBJ: Approve Change Order for Trail (Sidewalk) Along Powers Boulevard
Attached to this memorandum please find a feasibility report for a trail (sidewalk) along
Powers Boulevard. This is a critical link between a major population center of the city and
the western entrance to our downtown. The sidewalk is proposed to originate at Santa Vera
Lane and travel north one -third mile to Saddlebrook. Curve. Construction would be limited to
the east side of Powers Boulevard. Strgar - Roscoe - Fausch, Inc. (SRF), the consulting engineer
for the "parent project" (92 -3 widening /reconstruction of Powers Boulevard), prepared this
report at the request of the city.
As indicated in the report, this trail work was to be completed last summer. The delay in
scheduling was required to allow further monitoring of the road embankment. With their
evaluation complete, SRF has forwarded three alternatives for this construction. These
"options" are detailed in the report. Highlights of each include:
Option A: 8 ft. asphalt surface at grade with Powers Boulevard. Trail set behind existing
guard rail. Requires modular block wall or sheet piling.
Estimated Cost: With modular block wall $196,000
With Sheet Piling $552,000
Option B: 8 ft. asphalt surface set below the grade of Powers Boulevard. Requires
modular block wall or sheet piling.
Estimated Cost: With modular block wall $210,000
With Sheet Piling $552,000
Option C: 6 ft. concrete walk at grade with Powers Boulevard. Walk set behind existing '
guard rail. Requires less modular block wall.
Estimated Cost: With modular block wall
$124,000 '

CITY PROJECT NO. 92 -3
TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY AND REPORT (POWERS BOULEVARD)
Dear Mr. Hoffman:
As requested, we have prepared the following feasibility study for trail improvements
along Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) between Santa Vera Drive and Saddlebrook Cv.
(See Figure 1.)
INTRODUCTION
In April of 1993, construction of City Project 92 -3 began, which included
widening /reconstruction of Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17). During the course of
construction, the City of Chanhassen expressed an interest in constructing an
eight -foot wide bituminous trail on the east side of Powers Boulevard between Santa
Vera Drive and Saddlebrook Cv. A number of options were evaluated, and the decision
was made to construct a bituminous trail adjacent to the proposed guardrail. A modular
block retaining wall on the east side of the trail was proposed to prevent additional
wetland impacts. Braun- Intertec designed the retaining wall for this portion of the
project. Shortly before construction would have begun on the trail /retaining wall, a
crack in the embankment was discovered which ran parallel to Powers Boulevard (in
approximately the same location as the proposed retaining wall). The decision was
made to monitor the slope and to determine the extent of the failure before construction
of a retaining wall was undertaken. Based on the information presented by
Braun- Intertec on the slope failure, three alternatives are evaluated in this report for the
construction of this trail.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Trail Improvements
-3-
The three trail alternatives which were evaluated are shown in Figure 2.
Options "A" and "B" consist of bituminous walks and retaining walls along the east
side of Powers Boulevard. (See Figure 3 for differences between Option "A" and
Option "B. ") Option "C" involves the construction of a six -foot wide concrete walk
along the east side of Powers Boulevard. Each of the alternatives is described in
more detail and evaluated below. In addition to the trail improvements, some
additional slope correction, as recommended by Braun - Intertec, will be necessary
to repair the existing crack no matter which option is selected.
1. Option "A"
This option involves the construction of an eight -foot wide bituminous trail
along the east slope of Powers Boulevard, and requires either a modular
block retaining wall or sheet piling from Santa Vera Drive to approximately
620 feet north of Santa Vera Drive. This option is very similar to the
original plan for constructing the trail and retaining wall. however, the
proposed wall would need to be approximately five feet deeper than
originally planned to minimize the possibility of the wall collapsing in the
event the slope continues to fail. Although the cost of sheet piling is very
high, the recommendation from Braun- Intertec is to use the sheet piling
rather than the modular block wall, as there is still some risk that the
modular block wall could collapse. It is their opinion that if the slope
continues to fail, the sheet piling would prevent any possible damage to the
trail. In this case, the modular block retaining wall (or sheet piling) would
be below the proposed trail. In addition, a metal pipe rail would be required
along the top of the wall (or sheet piling) to prevent pedestrians and
bicyclists from leaving the trail. Also, reconstruction of a portion of Powers
Boulevard as well as the removal and replacement of some of the new
guardrail would be necessary for the installation of a modular block wall
under this option.
2. Option "B'
Similar to Option "A ", this option also involves the construction of an
eight -foot wide bituminous trail along the east slope of Powers Boulevard
and requires a modular block retaining wall or sheet piling from Santa Vera
Drive to approximately 620 feet north of Santa Vera Drive. However, in this
instance, the modular block retaining wall (or sheet piling) would be above

the proposed trail. Unlike Option "A," no protection for the trail is provided
by the retaining wall if the slope continues to fail. Again, a metal pipe rail
would be required along the east edge of the trail to prevent pedestrians
and bicyclists from leaving the trail. In addition, reconstruction of a portion
of Powers Boulevard would be necessary, as well as the removal and
replacement of all of the new guardrail for the installation of a modular
block wall under this option. Even with the additional cost for
reconstruction of Powers Boulevard, the cost of constructing a modular
block retaining wall is still considerably less expensive than the installation
of sheet piling and, in this instance, no additional stability for the trail would
be provided by the sheet piling.
3. Option "C"
This option involves the construction of a six -foot wide concrete sidewalk
along the east slope of Powers Boulevard. A modular block retaining wall
would also be necessary for this option, but the length of the retaining wall
is considerably less than with Options A or B. The retaining wall would be
approximately 270 feet long for this option (compared to 620 feet long for
Options A or B). In addition, the retaining wall for this option would not be
in danger of collapse as it would be beyond the area of the slope failure.
Like Options A and B, a metal pipe rail would be necessary from Santa
Vera Drive to approximately 620 feet north of Santa Vera Drive to prevent
pedestrians and bicyclists from leaving the sidewalk.
I B. Easements and Right -of -Way
' No additional right -of -way is necessary for any of the options. However, the
temporary easements obtained for the original construction of Powers Boulevard
have expired. Hence, it will be necessary to obtain easements to construct any of
' the options.
t ESTIMATED COSTS
The estimated costs of the three options evaluated are summarized below.
' Construction costs are indicated, and an allowance is included for design,
inspection, legal, administrative and fiscal expenses. Detailed estimates of
construction costs for the three options are included in the Appendix. The costs
' presented on the following page do not include any amounts for easement
acquisition, nor do they include costs for any corrective work on the failed slope.

SUMMARY
32,095
$123,790
Based on the preceding discussions and cost comparisons, we recommend that
Option "C" (six -foot concrete sidewalk) be constructed as the preferred alternate.
Although the walk would only be six feet wide (instead of eight feet wide for a
bituminous trail), the cost savings over other alternatives is considerable and still
provides a benefit to all trail users. In addition, the trail north of Saddlebrook Cv., with
which the proposed sidewalk would connect, is also only six feet wide. However, if the
City desires to construct an eight -foot wide bituminous trail, we would recommend
Option °A" with the modular block retaining wall.
The alternatives proposed herein are feasible from an engineering standpoint. We
would be pleased to meet with the City Council, Park Board, staff and other interested
parties to review any aspect of this report.

sources. Mayor Chmiel stated that Jan Lash, from the Park and Recreation Commission, had called him to
' notify him that she could not attend the meeting but wished to convey the Park and Recreation Commission's
full support of this item.
' (Taping of the meeting began at this point in the discussion.)
Mayor Chmiel: ...of the fact that the balance of the commission approved this and fully stands behind it so I
just wanted to interject that into the discussion. Is there any time frame problems with any of this?

' E. APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
' Councilwoman Dockendorf: In the Minutes from last meeting there are several gaps that I think for the record
we should have on there. Starting on page 28, and I think a lot of the comments were from Mr. Michael Byrne,
who the speaker system didn't pick up because it was coming from the audience. And just from my
' recollection, and I hope the Council would help me to make sure we get this right. On the bottom of page 28,
last sentence from the bottom. I think Mr. Byrne is saying that he would like to ask Council to table the issue.
And at the top of page 29, quoting him as much as I can, I think he wanted to ask us to expedite it. I don't
think that really changes what we decided but I just wanted to put it for the record that that's my recollection of
what he was requesting. Having said that, I think we did decide that the Council wanted it to go back to the
Planning Commission and that was resolved by withdrawing the application as opposed to us denying it. So for
the record I'd like those changes made.
' Mayor Chmiel: I would say that's basically what was discussed at that particular time. Any other input?
Councilwoman Dockendorf: Not from me.
Mayor Chmiel: Thank you.
' Councilwoman Dockendorf: So with those changes I'd move approval.
Councilman Mason: Second.
' Councilwoman Dockendorf moved, Councilman Mason seconded to approve the Minutes of the City Council
meeting dated June 26, 1995 as amended by Councilwoman Dockendorf. Also to approve the Minutes of the
Planning Commission meeting dated June 21, 1995 as presented. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
