Authorize Preparation of Feasibility Study for
Lake Drive West Street and Utility Improvements
(Powers Boulevard to Audubon Road) - Project No. 98-16
The City of Chanhassen has received a petition from Mr. Mark Undestad of Eden
Trace Corporation and Redmond Products, Inc. to construct Lake Drive West
from Powers Boulevard to Audubon Road. The Lake Drive West alignment goes
through Outlot D, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. Eden Trace Corporation
plans to develop Outlot D and is in the process of obtaining necessary
governmental approvals.
A feasibility study was completed in 1990 by BRW, Inc. for the construction of
Lake Drive West from Powers Boulevard to Audubon Road. However, the
project did not proceed beyond the feasibility study. Significant changes to City
specifications and standard detail plates have occurred since 1990. The City of
Chanhassen installed trunk sanitary sewer improvements through the Upper Bluff
Creek District, Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project No. 91-17A. Additionally,
Powers Boulevard has been reconstructed to an urban four-lane section with a
street return provided at the Lake Drive West touchdown point.
In order to meet the requirements of State Statute 429, a new feasibility report
must be prepared for the project. This feasibility report will establish the feasibility
of constructing Lake Drive West, determine preliminary design of the utility and
street improvements, estimate the cost of the improvements and determine
financing alternatives including establishment of a special assessment roll against
benefiting properties in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statute 429.
The major project work elements include construction of a collector roadway
section, storm sewer and ponding, trunk watermain, street lighting, trail and
landscaping.
In accordance with City policy on similar petitioned projects in the past, it is
recommended that the petitioning property owner be required to secure the cost of
preparing the feasibility study. If the project is ordered, the security amount will
be applied toward the special assessments against the property. At the request of
the petitioners, the total cost for conducting the feasibility study will be the
responsibility of Eden Trace Corporation. Both BRW, the consulting firm which

Associates, the fIrm responsible for City Project No. 91-17A, along with four other
consulting finns, were requested to provide quotes for conducting the feasibility
study. The low quote in the amount of $4,410 was submitted by Bonestroo and
Associates. The remaining five quotes ranged from $4,965 to $14,000 for
conducting the feasibility study. The following is the proposed project schedule

comprehensive transportation plan and is a Municipal State Aid Route. It is also
identifIed in the City's Capital Investment Plan as a 1999 project. Staff
recommends that the City Council authorize the consulting engineering fIrm of
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates to prepare the feasibility study for the

Dear Anita:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to conduct a feasibility study for the proposed
Lake Drive West Street and Utility Improvements. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates has
been working with the City since 1989 . We have established a team of professionals dedicated to
serving Chanhassen. In establishing a team for Chanhassen, we have become familiar with the
standards, needs, and requirements of the City. We have also been able to provide the City with a
consistent, high quality, product.
We can complete a Feasibility Study for Lake Drive West in accordance with your November 18,
1998 letter for a lump sum fee of $4,410. This fee will include preparation of a report similar to the
report for Project 97-1. The fee will also include attending the meetings outlined in your letter.
We are familiar with the site having completed the sanitary sewer design through the site as part of
Project 91-17 A. There are several design considerations including drainage, wetlands, and park
property that will have to be evaluated.
We will be able to accommodate an accelerated schedule for the Feasibility Report if necessary. Feel
free to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information.

Re: Outlot D, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park
Dear Mr. Hemple:
The undersigned parties, Redmond Products, Inc. ("Redmond") and Eden Trace
Corporation ("Eden Trace"), have entered into a Purchase Agreement dated September 25, 1998,
pursuant to which Redmond has agreed to sell to Eden Trace and Eden Trace has agreed to
purchase from Redmond, the above-referenced property. Eden Trace plans to develop the
property and is in the process of attempting to obtain necessary governmental approvals,
including certain approvals from the City of Chanhassen.
Sometime ago, in connection with development plans which Redmond then had
for the property, the City of Chanhassen undertook and completed a feasibility study with respect
to the extension of Lake Drive to the property. The purpose of this letter is to formally request
the City of Chanhassen to obtain and provide an updated feasibility study with respect to the
extension of Lake Drive to the property. It is our understanding that prior to undertaking the
study the City will provide us with an estimate of the cost of updating this study and will require
that funds be placed in escrow with the City or a third party acceptable to the City to cover such
estimated costs. Eden Trace will be responsible for escrowing such funds and paying such costs,
and throughout the process the person whom you should contact concerning such costs or any
other aspects of the study is Mark Undestad, the President of Eden Trace. His phone number is
975-9452.
