Acting City Engineer/Director of Public Works City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard PO Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 · Suite 345N 2550 University Avenue West St. Paul Minnesota 55114 Re.' TH 212 Municipal Consent Review Comments City Project No. 03-09 Dear Mr. Saam: The following is a summary of the various issues that were discussed as a part of our December 16, 2003 meeting to review the Mn/DOT municipal consent package for the TH 212 design build project. The municipal consent package included a final geometric layout for TH 212 dated November 21, 2003. The issues that were noted as a part of the review of the layout are as follows: LAYOUT REVIEW Bluff Creek Pedestrian Trail Underpass · It needs to be determined if the pedestrian trail should be built on the east or west side of Bluff Creek. · The City would prefer that the underpass include two arch structures with an open median area rather than one structure. Fox Property Access · Access needs to be provided to the undeveloped Fox property at the southeast comer of the Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) intersection or Mn/DOT should acquire this property as a part of the TH 212 project. · TEL 651 645 4197 FAX 651 645 5116 Screening Berms · Concerns have been raised regarding the need for berms to screen existing residential development in the project area. The number and location of these berms needs to be reviewed as the project design is further developed. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr. Matt Saam, P.E. January 6, 2004 Page 2 of 5 o 7. Fox Property Trail Connector The City is requesting that the geometric layout show a future City trail connection in Mn/DOT right-of-way along the south side of the southeast ramp at the Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17)/TH 212 interchange. A drawing is attached illustrating the location of this trail connection. TH 101 Access for Park and Ride Facility · The City is requesting a right-in/right-out access to TH 101 for the proposed park and ride facility in the northeast corner of the TH 101 and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) intersection. We understand that Southwest Metro Transit has also requested an access to TH 101 at this location. TH 101 Access for Curry Property · The City is requesting that a full access be provided to TH 101 for the undeveloped Curry property in the northwest corner of the TH 101 and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) intersection. The access would be at the location of the proposed southeast ramp/loop connection to TH 101. The City understands that a connection to TH 101 at this location would require that the connecting roadway be dedicated as a public roadway. This access will require the addition of a right turn lane on southbound TH 101 and a left turn lane for northbound TH 101 at the intersection. Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Access for Curry and Klein Properties · The City is requesting that the proposed Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) access to the Curry and Klein properties in the northwest and southwest corners of the Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) and TH 101 intersection be moved 50' further to the east. TH 10l Access for Klingelhutz Property The City is requesting that a right-in/right-out access be provided to TH 101 for the undeveloped Klingelhutz property along the east side of TH 101 south of 86th Street. Reconstrnuction of TH 101 North of Lake Susan Drive · TH 101 is being realigned as a part of the proposed TH 212 project and a portion of old TH 101 north of Lake Susan Drive V/ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr. Matt Saam, P.E. January 6, 2004 Page 3 of 5 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. is proposed to become a City street. Old TH 101 is currently in poor condition and the TH 212 project does not currently include the reconstruction of this portion of old TH 101. The City is requesting that Mn/DOT reconstruct old TH 101 in this area as a part of the tumback of the roadway to the City. Lake Susan Drive Access for Curry Property · The City is requesting that access be provided to Lake Susan Drive for the undeveloped Curry properties along the north and south sides of Lake Susan Drive west of TH 101. Excess R.A.L.F. Right-of-Way · The City is interested in the excess R.A.L.F. right-of-way along the north side of TH 212 between TH 101 and the east City border (Parcel 71 excess acquisition as shown on March 27, 2003 right-of-way map, see attached). Additional discussions are needed to determine the best way to facilitate City ownership of this property. Delete Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18)/Park and Ride Trail · The City is requesting that the layout be modified to remove the proposed 10' wide trail shown along the north side of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) east of TH 101. TH 101 Trail Modifications The City is requesting that the layout be modified to move the proposed 10' wide trail along TH 101 south of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) from the west side of the roadway to the east side of the roadway. TH 101 Access for Klein, Wilson and Nettesheim Properties The City is requesting that the layout be modified to show access locations for the Klein and Wilson properties along the west side of TH 101 south of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) and to the Nettesheim property along the east side of TH 101 south of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18). TH 101 Reconstruction (Lake Drive to TH 212) · TH 101 from TH 5 to Lake Drive is currently a 4-lane section. TH 101 is also proposed to be reconstructed to a 4-lane section as a part of the TH 212 project. The remaining 0.89 mile section of TH 101 between Lake Drive and TH 212 is currently / Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr. Matt Saam, P.E. January 6, 2004 Page 4 of 5 a 2-lane section that needs to be upgraded to a 4-lane design. Mn/DOT has stated that this section of TH 101 is outside of the scope of the TH 212 project. If this section of TH 101 can't be included in the TH 212 project, the City would like to have an understanding from Mn/DOT on the future process/schedule for the reconstruction of this section of TH 101. The municipal consent package also included a cost participation estimate for Chanhassen's share of the project construction. The issues that were noted as a part of the review of the cost participation estimate are as follows: COST PARTICIPATION SUMMARY REVIEW Powers Boulevard Bridge The cost summary includes a Chanhassen contribution of approximately $532,500 for the widening of the Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) bridge. The City was of the understanding that Mn/DOT would pay the cost for the bridge widening based upon a November 25, 2003 letter from Mn/DOT to the City (see attached). County Roadway Costs · The cost summary includes a Chanhassen contribution of approximately $788,500 for turn lane, roadway widening, traffic signal, and/or right-of-way costs at Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14), Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17), and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18). All of these roadways are under Carver County jurisdiction. Discussions should be initiated with Carver County regarding their participation in these costs based upon the current County cost participation policy. · Additional information is needed from Mn/DOT to review the proposed cost splits for the traffic signal installation along Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) at the northeast ramp/loop and southeast ramp/loop intersections. · The cost participation summary includes Chanhassen costs to construct a right-turn lane on westbound Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) at Lake Susan Drive. Clarification is needed from Mn/DOT on why this is included as a Chanhassen cost when it is a turn lane to serve an existing development. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc, Mr. Matt Saam, P.E. January 6, 2004 Page 5 of 5 Trail Costs · The cost summary includes a Chanhassen contribution of approximately $1,549,600 for trail costs along Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14), Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17), and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18). These estimated trail costs include both construction and right-of-way acquisition costs. Carver County cost participation policy does not include participation in sidewalk/trail costs; however, portions of these trail segments may have some benefit to the overall County trail plan. Discussions should be initiated with Carver County regarding their participation in some of these trail costs. The cost summary includes a Chanhassen contribution of approximately $105,000 for trail construction within Mn/DOT right-of-way along the north side of TH 212 between Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) and TH 101. Mn/DOT cost participation policy allows Mn/DOT participation in trails constructed within trunk highway right-of-way. Discussions should be initiated with Mn/DOT regarding their possible participation in these trail costs. Right-of-Way Costs · The cost participation summary includes right-of-way acquisition costs for turn lanes and trails at numerous locations. In a majority of these locations, Mn/DOT's right-of-way acquisition was not changed as a result of the construction of the turn lanes or trails. Clarification is needed from Mn/DOT on why these right-of-way costs have been included as Chanhassen costs. Please let me know if you have any questions or you need any additional information.

We concur with all of the City's responses except for Response Number Four (4.). The comments that follow all pertain to Response Number 4.: Mn/DOT Metro District Traffic staff have reviewed the Kimley-Horn traffic model "runs" and Mn/DOT staff modeled again the forecast data using SYNCHRO. The Mn/DOT analysis demonstrated the need for Double Left Turn Lanes, providing for movements from northbound Powers Boulevard to the westbound east-west collector (the collector which is to be constructed). In addition, the Mn/DOT analysis also demonstrated that double left turn lanes are also needed on southbound Powers Boulevard, providing for movements onto eastbound Trunk Highway (TH) 212/312. The westbound TH 212/312 off-ramp lane geometry should include two (2) through lanes, which is consistent with the Mn/DOT model "runs" demonstrating a need for double left mrn lanes on north bound Powers Boulevard to the east - west collector. Mn/DOT Metro District will apply the Mn/DOT Cost Participation Policy for the geometric changes needed to the Powers Boulevard ramp terrmnal. To summarize tiffs policy, we propose to pay the cost of the Powers Boulevard bridge over TH 212/312.~ includin~ the extra width needed for the Double Left Turn Lanes. The City will be responsible for funding the roadway approach construction on Powers Boulevard and on the ramps where additional width is needed for the additional lanes. If you have questions on any of these points, or would like to discuss this further, please contact me at (651) 582-1340.

A response document that addresses comments received during the 30 day review period is attached for your review. The response document includes a summary of the specific questions/comments received from reviewing bodies and a response that either clarifies the information in the document or identifies how the document has been revised to address any particular question or comment.

Ms. Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard P. O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317. kaanenson~ci.chanhassen.mn.us The City of Chanhassen · ^ Utc, wing comm~nil¥ With ctean lakes, qua!itT' ~noots, ~. charmin!~ downtown, thr vino bus nesses wind~n~ trails, and lx2utltul par~ A Omi place to I~ve, work, Larkin Hoffman 1. The property located at the southeast comer of Powers Boulevard and Lyman Boulevard is better suited to a neighborhood commercial designation. 2. The property located west of the TH 212/312 interchange with Lyman Boulevard is better suited for neighborhood commercial, medical or general office use. 3. Request that the east-west collector street be funded with a number of financing sources and not a heavy reliance on special assessments. Response: The AUAR process is structured to model adopted plans and policies. Changes to plans and policies are at the discretion of the City through other processes, but not the AUAR. Minnesota Department of Transportation 1. Mn/DOT will be acquiring additional right-of-way for floodplain mitigation on the north side of Pioneer Trail and the west side of Powers Boulevard extension. Response: Right of Way known as being acquired by Mn/DOT as depicted in mapping provided by Mn/DOT is shown on all relevant exhibits. This area was also removed from all developable land area calculations. If Mn/DOT is pursuing additional land for flood mitigation not represented, on current exhibits, it would further reduce available developable land and therefore reduce development impacts. 2. Detailed hydraulic computations for development proposals w/Il be needed as they relate to TH 212/312. Drainage permits may also be required. Response: The City will require conformance to all Mn/DOT permit requirements and submittals for any development impacting Mn/DOT Right of Way as specific development plans are received. Direct connections to the TH 212/312 Powers ramp terminals need special treatment and criteria approved by Mn/DOT. Local street connections will be prohibited within 660 feet from the Powers intersections. Response: As noted in the Mn/DOT comments, the east-west collector is intended and shown to meet Mn/DOT's requirements for access at Powers Blvd. The cul de sac on the south side of TH 212 at Powers Blvd serving TAZ 5 does not meet Mn/DOT's criteria as noted. It is proposed to relocate this cul de sac entrance to TAZ 5 south 660 feet to meet Mn/DOT's criteria. This is illUStrated on Figure 19 in the AUAR report. 4(~ff~e Powers Boulevard bridge over TH 212/312 should be sized to provide dual turn lanes for southbound Powers Boulevard to eastbound TH 212/312 traffic. This would require an additional turn lane from the original traffic analysis. Response: The Highway Capacity Manual recommends that dual left-mm lanes be installed when volumes exceed 300 vehicles per hour. The projected traffic at this intersection for the full build out scenario (Scenario F-2) indicates left-mm volumes Chanhassen 2005 A U,4R - Comment _Responses Page 6 of ] ] 8[,,geXCeed the 300 vehicles per hour threshold; however, the installation of dual left-turn lanes is not always the optimal situation and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Although it may be typical for Mn/DOT to require that dual lef~- mm lanes be provided when left-mm volumes exceed 300 vehicles per hour, proposed operational conditions at the Powers Boulevard/TH212/312 ramp do not necessitate this provision. Based on the proposed configuration of this intersection combined with the low volume of opposing and side street traffic volumes, the southbound left-mm volumes can be served by a le lane and signalized timing. 5. Signals will likely be needed at the TH 212/312 Powers ramp soon after development occurs and should be planned for and installed at the same time as TH 212/312 construction. Response: It is generally agreed that signals will be needed at some furore date for both TH 212/312-Powers Blvd ramp termini. We concur that Mn/DOT should plan for the installation of these signals in their project planning efforts for TH 212/312. This could include the installation of signal system conduit to avoid future roadway construction disruption. As noted in the draft mitigation plan for Scenario F-2 (full AUAR build out) we recommend that the installation and activation of the signal system occur dependent upon the timing of the development, and meeting signal warrants as outlined in the Minnesota Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MMUTCD). The east-west collector should be coordinated by the City so it opens concurrently with TH 212/312. Congestion issues on Lyman and Powers Boulevard will result if it doesn't open concurrently. Response: As noted in the AUAR, the un-signalized intersection at existing Powem/Lyman will operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS) for both the existing (Scenario E-l) and initial development (Scenario E-2). The mitigation plan for Scenario E-2 recommends that prior to construction of any additional TAZ's adjacent to the east- west collector road, it is recommended that the Collector Road be extended to Powers Blvd. The AUAR recommends that new Powers Blvd between Lyman Blvd and Pioneer Trail will require a four lane section with fight and left mm lanes at the intersection with Lyman Bivd. The AUAR further recommends that when signal warrants are met, the Powers BlvdJLyman Blvd intersection will need to be signalized prior to the full build out of the proposed AUAR development. 7. Any use of or work within the Mn/DOT right of way requires a permit. Response: All appropriate permits will be required of development. Chanhassen 2005 A UAR - Comment ]~espor~es .Page 7 oJ' i ]
