Approve Layout and Plans & Specifications for the TH 411TH 7
Intersection Improvements, S.P. 1008-58, File No. PW -067D-4,
City of Shorewood Project No. 98-05
The City of Shorewood has entered into a cooperative agreement with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation to construct roadway improvements in
the area of Trunk Highway 7 and Trunk Highway 41 intersection. The plans and
specifications for the above-referenced project were approved by the City of
Chanhassen in July of 1999. However, significant changes in the project scope
have occurred since that time. Specifically, the portion of the project concerning
the access control and intersection improvements were removed from this project
and were bid and constructed as a separate project during the summer of 1999. In
addition, alignment changes and revisions to typical sections and pavement insets
have occurred upon final review by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The City of Shorewood has contracted with Evergreen Land Services of
Minnetonka to acquire the necessary easements in order to construct this project.
Properties within the City of Chanhassen for which easements will be acquired are
the 7/41 Crossing shopping mall center and Super America as well as the property
to the east adjacent to Trunk Highway 41. One access closure will occur at the
residence located across from the Minnetonka West Middle School. This
residence currently has two driveway accesses onto Trunk Highway 41.
Staff was directed at the May 17, 1999 work session to investigate the feasibility
of constructing a trail from Minnewashta Park to the 7/41 Crossing shopping
center concurrently with the project. An approximate cost estimate for the
construction of this trail is $65,000 based upon a per-foot cost basis ofthe recent
City trail construction along Trunk Highway 7. Since any costs for trail
construction in conjunction with the TH 71TH 41 project would be the
responsibility of the City of Chanhassen, it was recommended that the trail be
constructed under a separate City contract. Preparation of a feasibility report in
the future will allow prioritization with other City trail needs.
The City of Shorewood anticipates City Council approval of the final plans and
specifications and authorization for advertising for bids for this project to occur at
their March 27, 2000 Council meeting. It is anticipated that construction will
begin in mid-May of 2000 with all work, including the final wear course, to be
completed in the 2000 construction season.

Re: TH 7 I TH 41lntersection Improvements

City of Shorewood Project 98-05
WSB Project No. 1122.10
Dear Ms. Benson:
As you are aware, the City of Shorewood, in cooperation with Mn/DOT, has been developing
proposed improvements for the TH 7 and TH 41 intersection. Mn/DOT has approved the enclosed
preliminary layout and is asking that both the Cities of Chanhassen and Shorewood fonnally approve
the layout and pass a resolution oflayout approval, which will then be forwarded to Mn/DOT for
their files.
Enclosed for your use is a draft resolution containing the necessary language that Mn/DOT would
like to see in the City resolution. You may, if you desire, refonnat this resolution to fit the City's
needs. Please review the enclosed resolution, as well as the preliminary layout, and if you have any
questions or comments, please contact me.
Also, you should be aware that the City has been moving forward on acquiring the necessary
temporary and pennanent easements in order to construct this project. A few of these parcels are
within the City limits ofChanhassen, and Evergreen Land Services ofMinnetonka has been working
on securing these easements for the City of Shorewood. I have enclosed a land acquisition status
report for your infonnation in regard to the parcels that are being acquired. Also enclosed you will
find a copy of the final plans, specifications, and estimate that are being forwarded to MnlDOT for
their final approval on this project. We anticipate that Mn/DOT will have final plan and
specification approval in time for the City of Shorewood's Council meeting on March 27, 2000. At
this time, we are assuming that we only need the City of Shorewood's final approval on the plans
and specifications in order to proceed on bidding the project. If this is different than you understand
it to be, please do not hesitate to contact me or Larry Brown at the City of Shorewood.
