As a part of the design process, staff and the project engineer have met with the affected Chanhassen property owners to gather input and present design information which have resulted in design considerations to reduce project impacts to adjacent property owners. A copy of 1 these plans have also been sent to the City Engineer for the City of Shorewood for their review and comment. I am pleased to announce that the City of Shorewood has agreed to contribute $4,800 towards the costs of conducting this improvement project. As discussed at the feasibility hearing, this project is intended to be coordinated with the 1 proposed street and utility improvements to Teton Lane which will be constructed under private contract as a part of the Ithilien subdivision. Both of these improvement projects are intended to be completed this fall. It is therefore recommended that the plans and specifications for the Lilac Lane improvement project from Teton Lane east to County Road 17, Project No. 91-4, dated August, 1992 be approved and that authorization be given to advertise for project bids. ktm • Attachments: 1.

The developer of the proposed Ithilien subdivision, located immediately west of Teton Lane and South of Lilac Lane, has agreed to construct all of the improvements (roadway, curb and gutter, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and watermain) as described in the 1 feasibility study prepared by Engelhardt & Associates under private contract at their expense. The proposed improvements to Lilac Lane between Teton Lane and County Road 17 will remain a public improvement project which was officially ordered on July 13, 1992. 1 The proposed roadway and storm sewer improvements to Lilac Lane are estimated to cost $54,982 (street construction - $31,283, storm sewer construction - $23,699) as presented in 1 the feasibility study. As we have discussed previously, the improved Lilac Lane road segment will exist within the corporate boundaries of both the City of Shorewood and the City of Chanhassen. Lilac Lane is proposed to be improved to a width of 28 feet. It is my understanding that your street maintenance department would have likely placed a bituminous overlay on Lilac Lane ' within the next few years. It is also my understanding that this bituminous overlay and associated repair maintenance to Lilac Lane between Teton Lane and County Road 17 would cost approximately $4,800. Taking into consideration that the City of Shorewood has been maintaining Lilac Lane in the past and will continue to provide winter maintenance of this roadway following the improvements, I would like to propose that the City of Shorewood contribute to this project $4,800 corresponding to the cost of a bituminous jrt 1 or PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 1 Mr. James Hurm 1 August 13, 1992 Page 2 I overlay and associated repair maintenance. The City of Chanhassen would in turn agree I to improve Lilac Lane from Teton Lane to County Road 17 as proposed and assume long- term repair maintenance of this road segment. I would like to request that you and your staff consider this cost- sharing proposal and 1 present it to your City Council for approval at the next appropriate meeting. If you should have any questions on comments on this matter or need additional information, please feel I free to contact me at 937 -1900. Sincerely, I CITY OF CHANHASSEN Charles 0. Folch, P.E.
