2006 Street Improvement Project No. 06-01: Approve ResolutIon
Deleting the Koehnen Street Improvements
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve resolution.
BACKGROUND
On September 26,2005, the City Council authorized the preparation of a
feasibility study for this project.
On January 9,2006, the City Council received the feasibility study and called the
publIc hearing.
On January 23, 2006, the City Council authorized the preparation of plans and
speCIfications for the project.
On January 23,2006, the Council approved the designation of Yosemite Avenue
as an MSA Route.
On March 20, 2006, the Council approved the plans and specifications for the
project.
DISCUSSION
The 2006 Street Improvement Project consisted of three project areas, the
Koehnen Area street reconstruction, the Chanhassen Hills neighborhood
rehabIlItation, and the Lake Ann Park parking lot Improvements.
Since December 2005, staff has been workmg to with MnDOT and the CIty of
Shorewood to designate Yosemite A venue and Apple Road as a MUnIcipal State
Aid (MSA) Route for the Koehnen Area project. ThIS designation is required to
use the City's MuniCIpal state aid funds on the Yosemite A venue improvement
portIOn of the project. In order to designate Y osemlte A venue as a MSA route,
Apple Road in Shorewood from Yosemite A venue to Powers Boulevard also
needed to be designated as a MSA route. Delays in the Apple Road designation

delayed the Yosemite designation several weeks SInce both designatIons need to
go through the MnDOT review process at the same time. Also, delays in the
annual certificatIOn of mileage delayed the designation. Staff finally received
confirmation of the Apple Road and Yosemite A venue designatIOn on March 23,
2006. The State of Minnesota still needs to reVIew and approve the plan set prior
to soliciting bIds. This process is about four weeks long due to MnDOT's back
log of projects. In reviewing the schedule, the 2006 Street Improvement Project
would be awarded, at the earliest, the last City Council meeting in July and work
on the project would not start untIl August. This schedule is not workable from a
construction and property access perspective. TYPIcally, street reconstruction
projects should be substantially completed prior to September 1 st or prior to fall
school start.
Staff would like to bring the Koehnen area project back to Council for
consideration In the future for an early 2007 construction season start. Per
Chapter 429 rules, a new public hearing does not have to be held if thIS project IS
let withIn one year of City Council's authorizatIOn for preparation of plans and
specifications. However staff suggests that Council hold a new public hearing in
2007 so that new property owners would have an opportunity to voice their
OpInIOn about the project.
Staff will notify the property owners in the Koehnen area about the project delay
after April 10, 2005.
The Chanhassen Hills street rehabIlItation and Lake Ann Park parkIng lots
Improvements are still on schedule for construction this summer.
