1 TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Charles Folch, City Engineer
I DATE: April 9, 1992
SUBJ: Authorize Preparation of Feasibility Study for Street
I and Utility Improvements to NW ' Section 10 and NE '
Section 9 (Lundgren Bros.) - Project No. 92 -5
1 Over the past nine months City staff has had a number of meetings
with Lundgren Bros. Construction, Inc. to discuss their intentions
to acquire property for development located in the northern
I portions of Sections 9 and 10. It has recently come to City
staff's attention that Lundgren Bros. has secured purchase options
for a large area encompassing portions of three parcels known as
I the Johnson, Turner and northern portion of the Dolejsi property.
Lundgren Bros. has since presented to the City a formal petition
for the construction of trunk utilities and an east -west roadway
I between TH 41 and CR 117 (Gaipin Boulevard). This east -west road
connection was previously defined as a needed transportation
element of the Comprehensive Plan. These improvements are needed
in order to develop the described properties.
1 I have contacted Mr. Bob Schunicht of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik
& Associates to acquire an estimate as to the approximate cost to
I conduct such a feasibility study. I have been informed that this
study is estimated to cost $11,200. Lundgren Bros. is familiar
with the City's policy to acquire financial sureties from the
II petitioners of an improvement project to guarantee payment for the
study should the project not proceed.
It is therefore recommended that a feasibility study on trunk
II sanitary sewer and watermain facilities and an east -west roadway
connection between TH 41 and CR 117 (Gaipin Boulevard) in the north
half of Section 9 and the northwest quarter of Section 10 be
I authorized to be conducted by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik &
Associates conditioned upon the City receiving a cash escrow or
letter of credit from Lundgren Bros. to insure payment for the
II site.

Manager's Comments (4- 8 -92): Over the past five years, the city
' has sold bonds at a level of approximately $5 million per year.
Maintaining a position at or below the $5 million figure can
reasonably assure that our current bond rating can be maintained.
All forms of bonds compete with each other in arriving at the $5
million total. Each year the city must anticipate the amount of
general obligation bonds which may be sold (fire station bonding,
' Lake Ann Park addition, Bandimere Park, etc.); equipment
certificates (current year vehicle purchases); revenue bond needs
(water tower construction, major additions to the sewer system,
etc.); and finally, special assessment bonding (public improvement
' projects for streets, sewer and water extension for development
purposes, etc.). Although I agree with the City Engineer's
position that we should move forward with the feasibility study, I
' should also note that we are in the process of attempting to
prioritize 1992 bonding and we may be forced to bring this item
back to the City Council if it is determined that our overall
bonding ability cannot be met given the total number of projects on
' the table. No work would be completed on the feasibility study
until after this determination was made.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mlnnesola 55391
Lundgren Bros. Construction is proposing to develop the land known
(612)473 -1231 as the Johnson, Turner and the northern portion of the Dolejsi
property (depicted on Exhibit A) within the City of Chanhassen.
At this time we control all of this land with an option to
purchase. We hereby formally petition the City of Chanhassen for
the construction of public facilities. Namely trunk sanitary
sewer and water and the East/West roadway between Highway 41 and
County Road 117 as depicted on the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan. Each of these facilities is necessary for
development of our property.
At this time we have completed conceptual plans and have had •
preliminary meetings with staff to receive their initial comments.
This meeting took place on March 24, 1992.
Please contact me if you require any additional material and /or 1
information. Please advise me of the date this petition will be
going to the City Council and of the estimated cost of the
feasibility study and its scheduling. 1
Very truly yours •

City Project No. 92 -5 I
Our File No. 39308
Dear Charles:
I
As requested, we have prepared a mini -scope of study and determined an estimated cost for
preparing a Feasibility Report for Project 92 -5. The basis for this estimate includes information I
from the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer and Water Plans, and a conceptual site sketch from
the developer.
The proposed Feasibility Study will define the east -west through street and trunk sanitary sewer
1-
and water main improvements necessary to serve the portion of the project area. It would
involve the following specific items:
1
PROJECT NO. 92 -5 FEASIBILITY STUDY
1
1) General description of project area, owners, development activities and past
activities.
2) Summary of the improvements and studies that affect the study area. ,
3) Preliminary design of the proposed east -west collector street from Galpin Blvd.
to T.H. No. 41.
4) Preliminary design of the trunk sanitary sewage system including:
I
a. Lift station location, sizing and phasing
b. Trunk sewer location
c. Force main sizing including economical velocity analysis.
1
5) Preliminary design of trunk water distribution mains.
6) Cost estimate of proposed improvements.
7) Cost recovery (assessment) system.
I
8) Preliminary assessment role.
