5. A technical memorandum will be submitted to the City documenting the findings.
6. The City will review utility rates based on the utility study findings. Area assessment
calculations will also be reviewed as an alternative to utility rate financing.
The SEH, Inc. proposal is a total cost not -to- exceed $24,900.00. As with all engineering
contracts, the consultant must submit periodic invoices that staff will review before processing.
The consultant will be required to submit timesheets verifying the hours worked on the project
and expense sheets. Staff will review the invoices and expense sheets for accuracy and
conformance to the contract. SEH, Inc. is working on the final design plans for the CSAH
61 /TH 101 Minnesota River Bridge project. They have the most knowledge of the area. SEH,
Inc. also completed the water distribution section for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
Planning estimated $75,000 for the land use issues and solicited two consultants, HKGi and SRF.
Both consultants have chosen to submit a joint quote. Based on their knowledge of the city, staff
believes that this proposal bring the best of two consultants that have knowledge and experience
of development in the city. SRF will be the lead consultant with both Mark Koegler from HKGi
and Barry Warner for SRF deeply involved.
The planning process will be as follows:

Dear Paul:
RE: City of Chanhassen, Minnesota
Highway 61 Corridor Study - Water
Distribution and Sanitary Sewer Collection
System Service Analysis Proposal- Revised
SEH No. CHANH 126555
SEH is pleased to present this revised proposal for engineering services related to the analysis for
providing water and sewer service along the Highway 61 Corridor. This corridor will soon be improved
with construction that also includes the State Highway 101 Crossing. From our discussion, we
understand that the City is interested in the preparation of a development plan for the Highway 61
Corridor. Proper planning of the water and sewer services for this corridor is critical to understanding
the development potential and associated costs.
Our proposal is divided into separate sections for the water and sewer components. These components
start together with a common kick off meeting where relevant data will be collected and discussions held
concerning the specific service areas, land use assignments from the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
and any changes to those assignments.
Scope of Work Summary — Water Distribution System
Phase 1: Data Collection
During the first phase SEH will meet with city staff to discuss the issues involved and collect data related
to the project. Following the meeting SEH will proceed with the analysis and reporting phase.
Phase 2: Analysis and Reporting
SEH will review the existing Chanhassen water system model and the proposed level of service from the
2030 Comprehensive Plan. Current land use assignments will be noted and future water system demand
projections will be developed. Following this step, the existing water system model will be used to
project fire flow capacity in the identified study area. Scenarios will be run using the model to establish:
• Existing Peak Hour Pressures
• Future Peak Hour Pressures — No Improvements
• Existing MD Fire Flow
• Future MD Fire Flow— No Improvements
The results of our analysis with the existing model will then be used to develop a summary of

recommended improvements. These improvements will be incorporated back into the model and
new scenarios will be run for:
• Future Peak Hour Pressures — With Proposed Improvements
• Future MD Fire Flow — With Proposed Improvements
Upon verification that the proposed improvements provide the intended level of service, analysis of water
age will be preformed to understand that turnover in water at the extents of the system. The final product
under this water system service area analysis will be a Technical Memorandum intended to serve as an
addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan for the Lower Bluff (Highway 61 Corridor). The
Memorandum will include figures of the service area with expected fire flow capacities and pressures.
The Memorandum will also contain a discussion on expected water quality within the service area. The
final section of the Technical Memorandum will include a Capital improvements cost estimate for the
proposed trunk main system,
Cost Estimate— Water Distribution System
SEH will undertake the engineering services outlined in the above scope of work for a total cost not -to-
exceed $5,800.00. Compensation for these engineering services will be on an hourly basis, based on the
actual hours worked by SEH personnel assigned to the project, plus actual reimbursable expenses. SEH
will perform these services at the direction of the City of Chanhassen and will not modify or change the
scope or costs of those services without written consent of the City.
A detailed work plan and table of estimated staff hours for the proposed phases and tasks is attached. We
will begin work after we receive your authorization to proceed. We estimate that the Phase 1 work will
take approximately 2 weeks to complete from the time that we receive approval and Phase 2 will take
approximately 10 weeks to complete from the time that we receive approval.
Scope of Work Summary — Sanitary Sewer Collection System
The work plan has been divided into two phases:
Phase 1: Data Collection and Problem Definition
During the first phase SEH will meet with city staff to discuss the issues involved and collect data related
to the project. Following the meeting SEH, will proceed with the analysis and reporting phase.
Phase 2: Analysis and Reporting
SEH will evaluate the existing infrastructure and proposed improvements related to the development and
provide two alternatives to provide sanitary sewer collection for the developed properties. The existing
facility plan establishes that there will be a pump station required along with forcemain to connect to the
existing system. SEH will provide two alternatives for the pump station location with forcemain
alignment. The available capacity of the existing pipes outside of the Lower Bluff Creek District will be
reviewed against the 2030 Comprehensive Plan but will not be individually modeled for capacity.
Should projected flow exceed available capacity, further recommendations will be considered a change
and require additional scope and budget.
At the completion of the analysis and reporting phase, SEH will submit a technical memorandum
documenting our findings and the recommended option including an estimate of probable construction
cost. Throughout the analysis phase, SEH will meet with the city two times to provide status updates and
seek direction on findings.

Subject: County Road 61 Corridor Study
Dear Ms. Aanenson,
January 15, 2014
Land use changes and pending development patterns merit immediate attention for the broader County Road
61 corridor, as a result of planned transportation and infrastructure improvements. The area's physical resources
and regional connections reinforce the importance of a planning framework to guide and nurture future
decision - making for the affected parcels. This work is very similar to the Highway 5 Corridor Land Use Design
Study, which has successfully addressed improvements for the city and the private sector.
SRF Consulting Group, Inc., in association with Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc., presents distinct team strengths
to assist the city with a successful corridor study. These strengths include:
Chanhassen Experience - Barry Warner was the primary author of the Highway 5 Planning Study, completed for
Chanhassen. This study establishes comparative expectations for the CR 61 Corridor Study. Mark Koeglei was a
prior Chanhassen Community Development Director. Both Barry and Mark will have an integral role in the success
of the CR 61 project.
Planning Process -Our team has arrived upon a comprehensive planning process that engages staff, city elected
and appointed policy makers, related agencies, property owners, and interested developers. The process includes
two inclusive work sessions during which staff and the consultant team will collaborate, calling upon institutional
knowledge of the study area and balancing it with objectivity and perspective gained from comparative projects.
Two open houses are also suggested to inform and solicit broader community input. A combined City Council/
Planning Commission Workshop will provide a forum for policy -maker review and comment.
Skill Diversity - The SRF /HKGi team includes a wide array of necessary skills including land use, urban design,
traffic, civil engineering, and environmental. Individuals representing these specialties will be available and
engaged as needed throughout the study.
Project Management- Joni Giese will serve as project manager and Barry Warner as project principal. This
combination will ensure that the process is proactively managed with a focus on timely delivery, consensus
building, and technical accuracy.
Product Quality -The end product of this planning process must arrive on durable recommendations that
assist the City and the private sector with progressive yet grounded thinking, guiding land use, development,
and infrastructure investments. We are committed to providing the best possible plan within the parameters
established by the process.
Thank you for the opportunity to complete this submittal. We look forward to tailoring the scope of services,
schedule, and end products to meet the City's needs and expectations.

Project Understanding // Approach
The County Road (CR) 61 corridor is a key future gateway
to the City of Chanhassen. With planned and impending
changes to transportation and infrastructure, the area will
become more accessible, more visible, and will increase
the development potential of parcels found within
the study area. While opportunity is found within the
proposed changes to the public realm, the project area
is challenged by significant natural and physical resource
constraints. The Minnesota River establishes the southern
edge and presents unique fens, wetlands, and valuable
habitat. The river's bluff presents topographic challenges
for transportation, utility service, and development.
Jurisdiction considerations also exist, given the municipal
boundaries and the involvement of county, regional, state,
and federal agencies.
Given these circumstances, the City desires to complete a
framework plan that will guide future public and private
sector decision- making, shaping this important gateway to
the city. The planning effort will address land use, urban
design, traffic, infrastructure, development, and circulation
considerations for the project area and its affected parcels.
The planning study will also complement and integrate
findings from a separate engineering study engaged bythe
city, which will address utility infrastructure and service for
future development. The study's end product will provide
graphic, tabular, and narrative information to guide agency
staff, policy makers, private sector parcel owners, and the
development community. This will inform and assist them,
providing options, alternatives, and recommendations for
decision making.
Engagement of the diverse stakeholder group is key to
a successful outcome. Representative groups include:
City staff from Community Development, Engineering,
and Parks
City Council
» Planning Commission
» Cities of Chaska and Eden Prairie
Hennepin and Carver Counties
MnDOT and MnDNR
US Fish & Wildlife
The recommended planning process will engage these
stakeholders in multiple ways. As illustrated in the attached
process diagram, the following steps would be exercised
to solicit input, seek stakeholder values and priorities, and
promote incremental decision making.
County Road 61 Corridor Study
Key process steps include:
1. Kickoff /Data Gathering - Initial meeting with staff
to establish project parameters and obtain baseline
information
2. Field Trip - Staff /consultant team on -site, to conduct a

3. Workshop I - Initial staff /consultant team day -long
meeting to establish study area constraints /givens,
variables / "if thens'; and identify parcel -by- parcel issues
and challenges
4. Open House 1 - Initial open house informational
meeting to engage the general public, property owners,
developers, agencies, and interested parties
S. Workshop II - Second work setting to review charrette
options, alternatives, and development scenarios for
each parcel within the study area
6. Open House II - Second public open house to seek
input as to preferred recommendations and options
based upon the alternatives presented
7. Joint Council /Planning Commission Work Session -
Joint work session with the respective bodies to share
completed work, summarize feedback from open
houses, and to have an open dialog while seeking
buy -in on preferred solutions and recommendations
8. Draft summary document - To be made available on
the city web site for review and comment prior to formal
action
9. City Council and /or Planning Commission action -

East Side Focused Area and South Subarea Studies
Victoria, Minnesota
Rapid residential development and the desire to preserve the City's natural resource base are two forces that will determine
the future of Victoria, the "City of Lakes and Parks." Extending the MUSA line to encompass 270 acres in the City's East Side
area had been approved, and significant development pressure was mounting. A development moratorium had been
enacted to allow time for the City to prepare a position on both near- and long -term growth.
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. prepared an East Side Area Study that provides a planning framework to guide community
infrastructure based on future land use and sensitivity to the existing natural resource base. Timing was an important
element in the project - SRF completed the study in three months, prior to the expiration of the development moratorium.
The City also requested SRF's assistance in preparing a staging plan for annexation in the Victoria South Subarea, including
recommendations on how to preserve natural resources and rural quality as development proceeds. In addition, we developed
a conceptual master plan for infrastructure in the annexed area, following a process similar to the East Side Study.

The City of Eden Prairie sought to better define a 2030 vision for its Major Center Area, both physically and conceptually,
as a location with a distinctive identity. SRF's team of urban designers, planners and engineers staged a comprehensive
approach to studying potential land use change, transportation impacts, urban design enhancements and overall identity
for the area.
Light Rail Transit (LRT) played a prominent role in many of the concepts for the Town Center, as a major transportation
feature shaping its IF uture.The vision for the MCA includes bus and LRT services that would be completely integrated into the
street network with a pedestrian - friendly design of streets to balance the emphasis on transit and pedestrian movements.
Proposed Southwest LRT alignments were reviewed by SRF to determine their impact on the compact, walkable Town
Center and provide the necessary improvements to accommodate all modes of transportation.
Analysis of potential impacts (traffic, development density and land use character) resulting from each of the scenarios was
completed and, from three distinct concepts, a preferred scenario was advanced to city decision- makers for endorsement
and -approval.

County Road 61 Corridor Study
63rd Avenue / Bottineau
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
Boulevard Land Use & TOD Plan
In anticipation of the Bottineau Boulevard roadway reconstruction and the
potential future implementation of the Bottineau Transitway, the Hennepin
County Department of Housing, Community Works and Transit retained
SRF to perform the 63rd Avenue /Bottineau Boulevard Land Use and Transit -
Oriented Development Study. The purpose of the study was to investigate
potential transit - oriented development projects that could arise from
these infrastructure projects, with the goal of visioning public and private
investments that will provide long -term value to the community.
The study developed both short- and long -term redevelopment concepts
for the project area (1/2 mile radius around the 63rd Avenue /Bottineau
Boulevard intersection) and included recommendations regarding streetscape
enhancements and safe, convenient and attractive non - motorized connections
that will support transit- oriented development and improve access to the
proposed future transit station at 63rd Avenue.

County Road 61 Corridor Study
Bottineau Boulevard (CSAH 81) Land Use Parcel Planning
Crystal, Minnesota
Bottineau Boulevard (CSAH 81) is a vital transportation corridor connecting the commercial core of Minneapolis to the
northwestern metropolitan suburbs. Development along the corridor has surpassed the existing highway's ability to serve
the transportation needs of the area. Hennepin County is currently performing a phased reconstruction of the nine -mile
corridor.
SRF worked with the City of Crystal and Hennepin County Department of Housing, Community Works & Transit to review
land parcels and develop various land use scenarios responding to estimated market demand, parcel configuration and
property access. The scenarios illustrated how the site could be developed in compliance with City's existing zoning code,
parking, and stormwater management requirements. The study highlighted the associated benefits and constraints. SRF's
thorough analysis process provided the County with a logical methodology for investigating and evaluating the feasibility
of redeveloping the site, which can be replicated as part of future redevelopment studies. Ultimate parcel redevelopment
was consistent with SRF and McComb Group's report recommendations.

Elmwood Area Land Use (TOD), Transit & Transportation Study
St. Louis Park, Minnesoic
The Elmwood area of St. Louis Park is a 50- year -old
industrial and commercial use area located near the
emerging town center at Park Commons. Changes in land
use along Excelsior Boulevard and the area's residential
and commercial real estate market have been increasingly
visible in the last few years. The character of the area is
strongly influenced by access to and from major regional
roads. The area's future will be similarly shaped by these
connections and the arrival of Light Rail Transit (LRT) in the
Southwest Corridor.
At the request of Hennepin County and the City of St Louis
Park, SRF completed a long -range plan to guide land use
and transportation changes. SRF and its subconsultants
focused on the areas of redevelopment planning, market
analysis and fiscal impacts, land use (TOD), transportation
and urban planning. Extensive stakeholder involvement
occurred to solicit input and build consent.
The end product provides the City with an understanding
of the economic and physical influences that will affect
the area in the future. Changes to Highway 100 access,
rail crossings of Highway 100 and the arrival of LRT service
along the Southwest Corridor are all anticipated in the next
ten to 20 years. Redevelopment strategies and analysis of
transportation, circulation and transit station locations and
market assessments of future land use change will assist the
private and public sector alike in future decision - making for
the Elmwood area. The study was funded in part through
the Federal Transit Administration.

SRF was retained by the City to lead a large multi- disciplinary
team in developing the master plan for the public realm
portion of the project. Development of the master plan was a
collaborative process involving community representatives,
numerous public agencies, and design teams for the
housing developer and the public realm. The master plan
addressed and balanced the needs of many public realm
elements to create a vibrant new neighborhood.
As the prime public realm consultant, SRF provided and/
or coordinated design services for roadways, trails, parking
lots, bridges, green infrastructure, utilities and parks and
open spaces for this 130 -acre redevelopment.
The creation of new neighborhood parks and a greenway
boulevard are important elements of Heritage Park. The
parks offer a range of passive and active recreational
opportunities, including outdoor educational spaces,
soccer fields, picnic areas, strolling paths and areas for quiet
contemplation.
Heritage Park is a showcase for water resource elements
within a fully developed urban area and includes a variety
of water quality treatment and water feature items. One
highlight is the harvesting and treatment of stormwater
using filtration basins planted with native species in
portions of the greenway boulevard and parks. The water
treatment areas were designed to be aesthetic features
within the park system that highlight and celebrate the
movement of water within the parks, while also providing
educational opportunities for the neighborhood. The
harvested stormwater is the sole water source for new
neighborhood ponds.

East Ravine Pre - Design // Cottage Grove, MN
The East Ravine Pre - Design project built upon the Land Use Master Planning project completed by HKGi fora 3,800 -acre area
in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. HKGi led a five -firm consulting team on this 18 -month long project, and determined where
development would occur in the area, and what form the development would take. In conjunction with the construction
of a new sanitary sewer interceptor, the project included an extensive assessment of East Ravine environmental features,
neighborhood ghost platting, subdivision designs for Neighborhoods I and II, and the preliminary design of municipal
services and stormwater systems.
Ultimately, the pre- design effort led to an environmental review in the form of an AUAR. This review evaluated the
environmental impacts of development in the area on specific landscape features, and assessed sewer, water, and
transportation infrastructure systems.
The East Ravine pre - design explored
development potential for a 3,800

171 st Avenue Focused Area Study / /Elk River, MN
The master plan for the Elk River 171st Avenue Focused Area Study (FAST) outlines a course for change in order to respond
to both near and long -term development and transportation realities at the site. The 171st Avenue FAST ultimately
becomes a series of unique, interconnected districts showcasing residential, office, retail, and industrial uses within the
fabric of an enhanced open space and transportation system centered around the Northstar Commuter Rail Station and
Highway 10/169. HKGi created a master plan for the FAST which provides the framework for future development patterns,
recognizing the strong development potential in the area, as well as the economic, political, and environmental constraints
on future development. The vision challenges the current pattern of development, but is also grounded in reality to ensure
that the plan doesn't exceed the development capabilities of Elk River, and that the timetable for implementation is feasible_
The Elk River 171st Avenue FAST master pan includes a focus on employment, leveraging key assets such as the Northstar
Commuter line, Great River Energy, and the Elk River Resource Recovery Facility.The plan seeks to maximize land value and
create nearly six million square feet of retail, office, and industrial space, and to create an estimated 800 million dollars of
development value for the City of Elk River at the maturity of the plan. The master plan also seeks to develop upwards of
1,500 housing units, providing an array of housing types at varying price ranges. With new parks and interconnected open
spaces, the plan is designed to foster recreational and social opportunities for all ages within the community.

Spruce Street Master Plan // Farmington, MN
The Master Plan for this 450 -acre area of undeveloped land
is designed to provide a significant connection between
Farmington's vibrant downtown core and newer residential
areas that have begun to spring up to the north, near the
suburbs of Lakeville and Apple Valley. As such, this plan
emphasizes creating strong links between the newer
commercial district in the northern portion of the study
area and the older downtown commercial district to the
east of the project area. Creating strong connections will
allow potential patrons to see the two districts as a single,
integrated commercial zone, improving the viability of both
districts. Furthermore, new residential units to the south
will provide a permanent customer base.
In addition to commercial and high and medium - density
residential uses, the plan also includes flexible business/
commercial space, and mixed use areas adjacent to the
Vermillion River. A town square lies at the center of the
mixed -use area and provides a focal point for the new
community. The high level of protection afforded the
Vermillion River also provides the opportunity to establish
an extensive open space amenity featuring the river, storm
water treatment ponds, and significant park and trail
resources.

O
The primary goal for the Merle Hay Road Gateway is to create a unified vision for the transformation of the district over the
next 20 years. The Gateway area is at the front door of Johnston and presents a tremendous opportunity for redevelopment.
Current conditions of the vacant and underutilized properties result in an eyesore and public safety concern along the
City's most identifiable corridor. In 2013, HKGi completed a master planning process designed to guide and shape the
transformation of the district into a unique and thriving destination forJohnston and the Des Moines metro area.
The master plan identifies a mix of commercial, retail, residential, and park uses. The plan enables individual property
owners to look beyond their own boundaries and understand the inherent value of being part of the broader gateway
vision. In addition to a destination - oriented commercial and recreation area, the vision seeks to create a compact
neighborhood with pedestrian - focused streets and a network of public spaces that will form the backbone of an urban
village. The plan also embraces the Beaver Creek Natural Area by making strong pedestrian connections to the regional
trail and water - oriented amenities. Implementation strategies and tools were identified to assist both developers and the
City in implementing a cohesive and high quality gateway district.This included a district stormwater strategy that allows
for enhanced stormwater storage and filtration.

Hoisington KoeglerGroup, Inc., working with theCityofNorthfield Economic Development Authority, led a multi- disciplinary
team of consultants to provide development standards, marketing strategies, and a master plan for business and industrial
development on two recently- annexed sites located in Northfield, Minnesota. Each multi -owner site is approximately 500
acres and currently zoned for agricultural land uses. The master planning effort grew from initiatives contained within
the Northfield Comprehensive Plan to expand business and employment development within the City and enhance the
tax base. The purpose of the master planning effort was to establish a vision for future business and industrial growth
within the City of Northfield that is both economically viable and in alliance with City goals and objectives for sustainable
development.
The masterplan establishes future land use patterns, road systems, utility needs, open spaces, building patterns, streetscape
design, service, and safety and development standards. The master plan explores low impact stormwater management
strategies, alternative modes of transportation, a mix of land uses, energy efficiency, regional connectivity, and other
methods to distinguish the 3rd Northfield Business and Industrial Park from others within the region. Hoisington Koegler
Group engaged the community in the planning process through a series of charrettes and workshops to ensure the plan is
in compliance with community goals and desires. The planning process was completed in the spring of 2011.

Urban Village Master Plan // Woodbury, MN
Hoisington Koegler Group inc. (HKGi) developed the The Urban Village Master Plan outlining a vision for a vibrant mixed
use district in the southern portion of Woodbury, MN. Located at the major crossroads of Radio Drive and Bailey Road and
encompassing roughly 240 acres, the Urban Village will include a mix of commercial, retail and office uses, as well as a
range of residential types, including senior housing, market rate rental, owner - occupied townhomes, and more traditional
single family homes. Integrated with the land use planning is a framework of parks and open spaces, stormwater treatment
facilities, and enhanced streetscapes with strong pedestrian orientation designed to create a more interconnected,
walkable, urban district in a key growth area for the community.
Working closely with property owners (particularly commercial land owners) HKGi created a development plan that
accommodates more traditional suburban development and the automobile, but also creates strong pedestrian
connections to major amenities east of the study area (such as Bielcnberg Sports Center and East Ridge High School),
as well as a compact, urban district planned to surround the commercial districts. The more urban areas of the plan are
designed with vertical mixed use and higher density housing, with a focus on parks, green space, and parkway streets.
HKGi worked closely with Bolton and Menk, Inc. to better understand a range of stormwater treatment options for the
urban village, and to efficie:nth' utilize the land for development while providing sustainable solutions to infiltration and
stormwater treatment.
