We've elected not to do that and not charge the owners and developers with such a .ove. But this does fall in our right kind of the middle of our TH 5 corridor study. Oon, I'd like you to address that issue also because I think it's fair that these people be fully aware of what we're trying and attempting to do out there. How this aight be affected by that, if at all. Don Ashworth: As another itea within your packet is a proposed work schedule associated with our corridor plan. Hopefully what will be achieved through that process, who potential players may be on the task force that would sit and potentially look at what type of restrictions we aay be placing on properties. It .ay include setback. It may include density. It may include preservation of wetlands, etc., etc.. That also is another report that Hr. Worthington'should take a look at and potentially their firm may be one of the. that may even sit on that group and they .ay want to consider that. Mayor Chmiel: Right. I don't know if you've seen this particular study that we've gone through. If not, I'd like to give you this copy for you to take along because I do have an additional copy. Bob Worthington: To answer your question, yes. We have seen that study. Mr. Krauss gave us a copy when we had an earlier meeting with hi. but I'll take another copy. And the other request is, could we have, included in your meeting with Mr. Worthington portion of that proposal, arepresentative fro. the Chaska Gateway Partnership. Mayor Chmiel: Very good. Thank you. A motion was on the floor with a second. Oiscussion that Don had indicated. Councilwoman Dimler: Normally we don't approve...on Visitor presentations. Hayor Chmiel: No we don't approve anything on this as a presentation. Councilwo~an Di.ler: Do you want to suspend the rules? Hayor Ch.iel: No, I don't think we will. We'll need to suspend it. I would suggest that we re~ove the first and second and just carry it through and Don will take care of that. ..0 PUBLIC HEARING: FEASIBILITY STUOY UPDATE FOR COUNTY ROAD 17 IMPROVEMENTS SOUTH. ~ r Of TH 5. AUTHORIZE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. PROJECT 90-.. -~ Public Present: Name Address Julius SlIith Don Patton 7600 France Avenue So., Minneapolis 7600 Parklawn Charles Folch: Hr. Mayor, members of the Council. From discussion at the Harch 23rd .eeting when this report was received, you directed staff to investigate 12 ~lty ~ouncll Meeting - April 27. 1992 the opportunity of whether a bituminous overlay option would be economically feasible as co_pared to the proposed total reconstruction of this portion of CR 17 south of TH 5. Staff has gone back and reviewed some of the very lengthy files and the project history and it becaae evident that the bituainous overlay option was investigated during the original feasibility process back in 1990. At that ti.e it was found that due to extensive pave.ent re.ovals that would occur on the project for storm sewer, hand hold electrical conduit. and re.oval for installation of curb and gutter, that overlay would only be limited to limited areas of the roadway section. It was also looked at the existing condition of CR 17. That was found that there were numerous, both transverse and lateral cracking on the roadway with also SOMe portions of alligatoring which would tend to li.it the opportunity to overlay on these portions of the roadway also. Discussions with Carver County. they have indicated that this road has been very susceptible to frost heaving during the spring thaw due to poor subgrade drainage probleMs. And they also mentioned that they had done some significant patching to this portion of the roadway during the 1991, early su~mer of 1991. So back at that time. the previous city engineer who considered this also. estimated that an overlay option for this project would probably last only about 4 to 5 years. And then what would happen. due to the subgrade problems that are currently there. yoU would still continue to have the frost action which would then just produce cracks to the new surface. Basically cosmetic surface overlay that would be placed. So the previous engineering consultant determined that it was not really a feasible option fro. a long ter. standpoint to do the bituminous overlay. And from looking at the previous history. I would tend to agree. I've also discussed this option with Roger Gustafson, the Carver County Engineer. He had indicated that he would not support an overlay option as a part of this improvement project. There's an attached letter fro a our project consultant engineer which further describes more of the history of these aspects in detail. The staff report also contains a revised cost esti~ate and assess.ent roll for this project. Our project consultant engineer is available here tonight to provide answers to any questions that might come up during the public hearing. Hayor Chmiel: Okay. that.s fine. As I mentioned before, this is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to approach us at this given tiMe, please come forward. State your na.e and your address and who. if you are representing someone. Julius Smith: Hr. Hayor, .e.bers of the Council. Hy na.e is Julius Saith. My office is at 7600 France Avenue in Edina. I'a here representing Instant Webb. United Hailing. Victory Envelope and the landowners that own all of Park Two 2nd Addition and all of Park Two which essentially is 4 pieces of property. Two on each side of the road. It's the Instant Webb property and Victory Envelope property. United Hailing property and a vacant lot on the corner of TH 5 and CR 17. There are two items we'd like to refer to on this. One is physical and one is financial involving this project. The stora water plans as proposed allow for the filling of that pond that was there. That was always going to be temporary until sometime that that stora sewer was put in. The pond on Lot 2, Block 3. And the plan as proposed does in fact drain that and allow us to fill that pond and smooth that over and it will drain that pond. Unfortunately, it doesn't take care of the stora water for the rest of the parking lot on Instant Webb. The west half. We'~e already paid assessments on the east half and that project was a different stora surface water project. On the rest of the Instant 13 -.--- -.- -- "-- ~ -- -- . -~- City Council Heeting - April 27, 1992 Webb property, putting in the stora drain or the .anholes as it currently is designed is not low enough to drain our loading dock areas and our parking lots. And so we did talk to this with one of the engineers froa Chanhassen who said he would refer this to the consultant in the hope of lowering that .anhole where it crosses CR 17 at Park Drive or Park Road, so that's low enough that we can put in a pipe that will drain those parking lots after our pond is covered up. So I'd certainly like to see that looked at by the consulting engineer and we'd like to be kept posted on tha because we'd be totally unable to drain that o erty unless that's done ~he second one has to do with the financial side of this. e ooked at the c sts on this project and needless to say we were a little stunned but it's ay understanding that because of the buildings that are done in there and that we've created in there, that we qualify for an offset on those assessments. The TIF credits are sufficient to pay those proposed assessments and if that's the case, well it'd be pretty hard for us to object to the proposal and it's .y understanding that we would be a.ending these project agreements to take care of that aatter. If that's the case, we don't have an objection to it. I aean, if it's not the case, well then we aight. Oon Ashworth: If I aay respond. The three properties that Hr. Saith referred to did not participate, or only ainorly in the HRA special assessment reduction agreement recognizing the original roadway that was paid for by Carver County. Accordingly, Todd has gone back. Relooked at the figures and has stated that the three properties all qualify under the special assessment reduction agree~ent if again Hr. Smith would .ake application for his clients. Sufficient increment has been generated to payoff those assessments for each of the three that he referred to. Julius Smith: How how do we follow through with the engineer? Will they contact us about? I know they're going to look at some possible. Hayor Chmiel: Let me get that addressed. Charles? Charles Folch: Yeah, we are currently investigating. I aade contact with our consultant. We are investigating all the elements of that issue. Unfortunately as of tonight we still don't have an answer to that but we are working on it. Hayor Chmiel: In other words, we'll be getting back to you with so.e of the answers. In the meantime, necessary paperwork that you have to do. Co.e in and get that filled out. Julius S~ith: Alright. What does that require now? A letter on our part or request. Don Ashworth: For which of the two? Roger Knutson: Special assessment reduction. Don Ashworth: You can simply visit with Todd. Councilwoman Oimler: 00 you have a total on your assess.ent a.ount? Julius Smith: I'm sorry. 14 City Council Meeting - April 27, 1992 Councilwoman Dimler: Do YOU know the total on your assessaent a.ount for your 3 or 4 parcels? Julius Saith: Within $500.00. $590,000.00. ~ Councilwoaan Dialer: Thank you. And TIF is going to pick that up? Mayor Chmiel: He gives some, and take so~e. Is that what you're saying Julius? As I mentioned before, this is a public hearing. If anyone else wishing to approach this and discuss this, this is your opportunity. Council..n Work.an .oved, Councilwo.an Di.ler seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in favor and the .otion carried. The public hearing MaS closed. .* Don Ashworth: Todd did get an opportunity to talk to the people froa Eapak. I think all of the abutting owners who I think with the Instant Webb, etc.\ wnl benefit because having an urban section in there in comparison with the rural section and that will allow for the typical street lights as they occur in the other parts of the business park. That type of...literally get down to our park area. The other property owner who does benefit potentially even acre so is Empak. The dollars in here remove that hump in the roadway. If you go down by Lake Susan, that was a surcharge area that we have very poor soils. We knew that you were going to take that out of there. It needed to come out but for that 2-3 year period of ti.e it needed to be there to solidify those soils. See you only have a temporary road section in there for that first 300-400 feet. this project takes care of that as well as again...the typical section that YOU have elsewhere within the business park. Again I think Eapak is one of the benefactors and they do support the project. Councilman Workman: I was just going to ask the question, how old is the road? Mayor Ch~iel: The existing road? Don Ashworth: It was built in about 1976 to 1978. Right around 1978. Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? Ursula. Councilwoman Dimler: Yeah. I noticed in here that you did check with the County and they did indicate that they would not support the overlay alternative. I'm just wondering who has jurisdiction over this? Is the County above the City or the City? Since the City is paying, do we have aore jurisdiction or is the County helping to pay for some of this? Or how are we interrelating with the County here? Charles Folch: The County is, fr~ a financial standpoint, is not participating in the project. However, being that this roadway is under their jurisdiction, in order to do this project they have review and approval process of the project plans and specifications. In addition, being that it is on their CIP progra., the Carver County's program, to designate CR 17 as a State Aid Road, the project plans and specifications will also go through State Aid review. Councilwoman Dimler: Are we likely to get some State Aid? 15 - ----- - ------ ._-- -- --------- - -.. - --- - L---.L. = Victory Envelop 25-5660010 <:: ake-Dri\le A 'lr' ~ ~ ~ I~ ~ ~ o ~ I I I I I !

The cost of the improvements assessed against each of the described parcels is far in excess of any additional value created for each of the parcels respectively. Further, said parcels have not been benefited, except in a very de minimis way, by said Improvement because each of said parcels already had a relatively new, serviceable roadway and drainage system serving them, and there were no compelling traffic overload or pressing INSTANT WEB, INC.

The companies I represent certainly do not generate enough traffic that, when added to other traffic, require it. Additionally, I have been informed via letter from the Assistant City Manager, Mr. Gerhardt, as well as by the City Manager and the City Council through my attorney at the public hearing for this project on January 8, 1996, that the four parcels above-listed have sufficient assessment credits to offset the proposed assessments as part of the HRA's Special Assessment Reduction Program.

As I mentioned to you, several years ago both you and Mayor Tom Hamilton met with Don Ashworth to discuss what the remaining tax increment from your projects (Instant Web, United Mailing and Victory Envelope) could be used for in the future.\Mr. Ashworth had mentioned that County Road 17 would need to be upgraded 'in the:future and would qualify for the HRA's special assessment reduction prognirn. In researching the HRA files, you qualify for approximately $675,000 worth of t~;, Jncrement '~sistance that can be used to write do~ the prop~sed assessments that ax:r.';agai~st. all f~o/ of your properties.

Special Assessment Notice Improvement No. 93-29 Parcel No. 25-2710010 Proposed Assessment $157,103.37 Dear Mr. Ashworth: The above-captioned matter was sent to my attention for handling on September 11, 1997. Empak requested that I enter an objection to the assessment at the scheduled hearing. I did not timely file or enter an objection. Unfortunately, the notice arrived shortly after my Mother's death and while my family and I were enroute, with her remains, to her funeral which was held on Saturday, September 13, 1997 in St. Petersburg, Florida. In the disarray that ensued, the notice was lost and surfaced last night (Wednesday September 24, 1997), as I was reviewing materials on my desk. I immediately prepared this appeal and it is herewith hand delivered to you today for consideration. I respectfully request that you consider this excuse as reasonable cause under Minnesota Statute section 429.081 for failure to file a timely objection and allow the submission of materials in support of the objection. Empak was not advised that I was not going to attend the hearing and made no appearance, thinking that I was surely in attendance. I ask that you not visit my failure to appear and object on the taxpayer. Materials and information to be offered are not submitted with this letter. Mr. Don Ashworth September 25, 1997 Page 2 Please advise my office at your determination, at your earliest convenience. Rob rt E. Boyle, for ROBERT E. BOYLE & ASSOCIATES, P.A. Imm
