Community Development Mission and Current Services Community Development includes the activities associated with Planning, Environmental Services and Water Resources Management. These activities provide staff support to the City Council, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustments and Appeals, Environmental Commission, Senior Commission, and Southwest Metro Transit. Services include administration of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan, forestry services, lake management, Storm Water Management Plan, Community Development Block Grant, and environmental services including composting, recycling, and hazardous waste. Bud2et Hi2hli2hts The proposed budget has no increase except for cost of living. Water Resources will have an intern for the summer, but the Planning Department will not have one this year. Vision/Achievements Achievements for 1997 include: . Bluff Cree~~verlay ~ct . Start of t~~~*ehensive Plan Update · Senior Dinning . BWSR wetland banking project · Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (wetland management is not subject to review by BWSR) · RALF for Lakeview Hills · Participation in the Chaska /Chanhassen Chamber Business and Retention Program Proposed projects for 1998 include: · Completion of Comprehensive Plan · Update Zoning Ordinances to reflect changes in Comprehensive Plan · Lake Ann Park Water quality improvement (parking lot improvements, ponds) · Lake Susan Restoration (improve water quality for fishing, swimming) · Green Star Award Program from the Environmental Commission given to programs or individuals that have a positive impact on the environment Future Trends As the city continues to grow, complaints and code enforcement increases. Staff is spending an increasing amount of time on this issue. The increase of enforcement and the unwillingness to get compliance may increase the demand on legal services. Building permit activity is slow for traditional single family lots in the $275,000 price range. The city has approved projects that have non-traditional housing types and these should keep building permit activity at around the 200 permits a year. With the opening of the senior dining later this year, there may be a need for future senior dining space. The current senior center has seating for 40 persons. Senior programming has continued to grow as does the senior population. The Senior Commission will be looking at ultimate needs as a part of the yearly goals. Because Bandimere Park will be developed this year, the city has lost its compost site. Recycling and composting is still available in Chaska, although staff is concerned that illegal dumping will occur. Carver County Environmental Services will assist the city in providing a match grant to create a recycling center. Staff would like to explore partnering with the Park and Recreation Department or Public Works Department to find a permanent location. Services Level Issues/Unmet Needs The work of the department involves a lot of public contact, especially when there is a controversial planning item. With the ability to use interns, the department is able to meet the greatest demand on our resources during the spring and summer months. 1998 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT GOALS I. ADMINISTRATIVE AND PLANNING PROGRAMS A. Sump Pump Inspection Program Complete the inspection phase of the program and institute maintenance program to insure continued compliance with City code. B. Update Pavement Management Study The original pavement management study was conducted in 1991. A 5-year CIP for reconstruction projects was developed. This CIP has now been completed. This year is the appropriate time to re-evaluate the condition of City streets and develop a new reconstruction CIP. C. Wellhead Protection Plan Federal and State mandates will require that each municipality serving more than 1,000 customers with a public water supply system have a wellhead protection plan in place before future wells or major system improvements are approved. Since water supply Well No.8 is scheduled for 1998, the City must begin work now on this protection plan. This will be a cooperative effort with the Utility Operations Department. D. Update Comprehensive Water Supply Plan The City has experienced significant growth since this plan was first developed in 1993. In addition, the City will be updating its Land Use Plan in 1998. This is an opportune time to update water supply data and forecasts for use in the Land Use Plan. E. Future Well Sites Continue to identify and preserve candidate sites for future wells within the City particularly in areas where development is occurring. Test boring operations may also be necessary to confIrm candidate sites as adequate or capable locations. F. Surface Water Management Program Continue to provide assistance in the implementation of the Surface Water Management Program specifically as it relates to development growth of the city and specifIc water quality projects are identified and prioritized in the Plan. G. Standard Consultant Service Agreement Prepare a standard consultant service agreement for general municipal projects in the city in order to establish uniform services and fee schedules. 1 H. GIS Continue to work cooperatively with the City's computer consultant to install and develop a geographic information system (GIS), specifically as it relates to Public Works. This is anticipated to be an ongoing process development and updating infrastructure maps in layers and information data bases. II. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Continue to provide project management of all public and private development projects within the city. Specific capital projects that are known at this time and scheduled for 1998 implementation are as follows: A. Water Supply Well No.8 Work cooperatively with the Utility Operations Department to begin the design and construction of water supply well no. 8 to be located in the Galpin Boulevard wellfield area north of Trunk Highway 5 and east of Trunk Highway 41. This capital improvement is consistent with the 1993 Comprehensive Water Supply Plan. During 1997, the City pumped more than 750 million gallons of water and added more than 180 connections to the system. Continued residential and commercial growth in the City will require that additional water supply wells be constructed every three to five years until full development of the City is attained. B. 2.0 MG Water Storage Tank Work cooperatively with the Utility Operations Department to begin design for the 2.0 million gallon (MG) water storage tank to be located in the southeast quadrant of Trunk Highway 41 and Trunk Highway 5 in cooperation with the Arboretum Business Park development. This is anticipated to be a two-year project. C. Coulter Boulevard. Phase III (Arboretum Business Park) To construct this Municipal State-Aid road segment from its current terminus at the west end of the Autumn Ridge development to the proposed Century Boulevard and ultimately south to 82nd Street in the Arboretum Business Park and complete an east/west local collector route south of Trunk Highway 5 between Trunk Highway 10 1 and Trunk Highway 41. D. LAKE LUCY ROAD (between the Brenden Pond development and the Woodridge Heights development) To complete the final segment of this overall Municipal State-Aid east/west collector route in northern Chanhassen which extends from Trunk Highway 41 to Nez Perce Drive. E. Pleasant View Road Bituminous Overlay 2 To complete a bituminous overlay on Pleasant View Road from TH 101 to Powers Boulevard. F. Sump Pump Proiects To install drainage improvements which will address problems created by conformance of properties with the City code as it relates to sump pump discharges. G. Annual Street Repair and Sealcoating Program To continue providing routine maintenance required to maximize the service life of City streets. This is a cooperative effort with the Street Maintenance Department. H. Proiect Assessments Arrange for the adoption of the assessment roll for the following project in time for the November 30, 1998 certification date: 1. Arboretum Business Park Phase I - Project No. 97-1 HI. COOPERATIVE AGENCY EFFORTS A. Trunk Highway 5 Reconstruction from Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) to Trunk Highway 41 Assist MnDOT with the project plan design and pre-project letting administration for this improvement project in hopes of scheduling a late fall of 1998 contract letting and a construction start in 1999. B. Trunk Highway 101 Turnback/Upgrade Continue to participate as an active member in the multi-agency effort consisting of MnDOT, Carver County, Hennepin County, Eden Prairie, and Chanhassen regarding the turn back and upgrade of Trunk Highway 101. C. Comprehensive Transportation Study Participate with the City of Chaska and Carver County in an update of the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study of 1989. Recently updated Metropolitan Council data related to population growth projections and highway system classification improvements are now available. This combined with continued delays in the improvement schedule for Trunk Highway 212, the revised schedule for the Trunk Highway 5 improvement project, and improved traffic forecasting design techniques necessitate a revision to the previous study from eight years ago. g:\en g\anita\98 goal s.doc 3 1998 PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT GOALS 0- Mission Statement: To provide quality and responsive public works services to the community using the resources and technology available. I. ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAMS A. Develop written short-term and long-term maintenance programs. B. Develop needed policies regarding maintenance practices to insure uniformity and consistency. C. Analyze primary work tasks and develop methods and strategies to improve efficiencies, customer service and save costs. D. Work with MIS Coordinator to introduce computer automation into the management of public works maintenance functions. E. Develop cross-training programs to insure that employees fully understand various work tasks in their respective divisions and can job share when there are short-term shortages in other areas. F. Develop and implement regular safety training sessions as required by OSHA. G. Develop programs to promote citizen awareness of public works maintenance activities and services in the city. II. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT A. Team Building - Develop programs, activities, and policies to enhance team building among employees by sharing in the successes and short comings of the department, insuring that the employees understand their role and importance to the department, and providing opportunities to recognize jobs well done. B. Long-Term Facility Needs - The overall space needs of the Public Works Maintenance Operations departments has been a problem for some time and worsens each year that it is not addressed. Currently, a significant amount of the City's maintenance fleet and equipment is stored outside every night due to lack of indoor storage. In addition, the repair area of the shop with only two repair stalls is grossly undersized for the City's current fleet and they are not even large enough to handle some of the larger fIre trucks and equipment. A study needs to be undertaken to determine the long-term space needs for the operations division and then evaluate whether or not the existing site can meet these long-term space needs or if a new location is required. C. Acquisition of 1998 Public Works Vehicles and Equipment - Conduct and complete the successful acquisition of the programmed 1998 vehicles and equipment additions to the public works operations department within the approved budgetary limitations. III. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS c. A. Well No.8 - Work cooperatively with the Engineering department to begin the design and construction of water supply Well No.8 to be located in the Galpin wellfield area north of Trunk Highway 5 and east of Trunk Highway 41. This capital improvement is consistent with the 1993 Comprehensive Water Supply Plan. During 1997, the City pumped more than 750 million gallons of water and added more than 180 connections to the system. Continued residential and commercial growth in the City will require that additional water supply wells be constructed every 3 to 5 years until full development of the city is attained. B. 2.0 MG Water Supply Storage Tank - Work cooperatively with the Engineering department to being the design for the 2.0 million gallon (MG) storage tank to be located in the southeast quadrant of Trunk Highway 41 and Trunk Highway 5 in conjunction with the Arboretum Business Park development. This is anticipated to be a two-year project and is also consistent with the 1993 Comprehensive Water Supply Plan. .~..". '~tt .tlt- . An~ual Street Repair Program - Work cooperative with the engineering department in conducting the 1998 Street Repair and Sea1coat Program. IV. PLANNING PROGRAMS A. Water Supply Plan - This plan was first developed in 1993. Since that time the City has experienced significant growth. In addition, the City will be updating the Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 1998. This is an opportune time to update the water supply data and forecast for use in the Land Use Plan update and capital improvement programming of the utility infrastructure. This will be a cooperative effort with the Engineering department. B. Wellhead Protection Plan - Federal and State mandates will require that each municipality serving more than 1,000 customers with a public water supply system have a wellhead protection plan in place before future wells and major system improvements are approved. Since Water Supply Well No.8 is scheduled for 1998, the City needs to begin work on this plan. This will be a cooperative effort with the Engineering department. C. City Water Ouality - Continue to monitor and evaluate water quality (rusty and smelly water complaints) in the City's water distribution system. If the problem continues to grow into the future and cannot be controlled with routine maintenance practices such as main flushing, a study may be necessary to evaluate alternative options to curtail the problem. \'<:fsl\vo12\eng'<:harles\98 pw goals.doc CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE.
