Proposed wetland impacts as indicated in Figure 3A from application The proposed wetland impacts resulting from the roadway improvements are divided into two categories: safety- driven impacts (impacts that result from the roadway construction and creation of the stormwater ponds) (.33 acres), and non - safety related impacts (impacts resulting from trail creation and other non - safety roadway improvements including increased capacity) (1.55 acres). Safety- related wetland impacts are eligible to be replaced using credits from the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) roadway replacement bank. Because the impacts for this portion of the proposed project are eligible for BWSR replacement credits, the required replacement ratio for the roadway and stormwater pond impacts are 2:1. Thus, .66 acres will be withdrawn from the BWSR Road Replacement Bank. The additional 1.55 acres of wetland impact associated with the multi -use recreational trail and non - safety related and increased capacity impacts will be mitigated for using wetland bank credits purchased by the County from account #1392. This wetland bank is located in the same Bank Service Area (BSA 9) and Major Watershed (33- Minnesota) as the proposed project. Therefore, the impacts are required to be mitigated for at a 2:1 ratio, resulting in the purchase of 3.1 acres of wetland credit from bank #1392. This is consistent with Chapter 8420.0522 of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules (see Figure 4 below).

The plans call for a cut of up to eight (8) feet at a point north of the wetland boundary. This is approximately four (4) feet below the elevation of the wetland bottom (see Figure 5 below). If it cannot be shown that the remnant portion of this wetland is viable, additional mitigation will be required for the secondary impacts associated with the road. The consulting engineer for Carver County is evaluating this and will provide a follow -up addendum. This addendum has not been received at the time of this staff report. Figure 5. Cross Section at wetland IA BACKGROUND Carver County is experiencing a high level of population growth, with most of the growth taking place in the central and eastern portions of the county. The cities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria and Waconia are estimated to account for over half of the total county population by 2030. Due to the current and expected future population growth, congestion in areas of central and eastern Carver Country is expected to rise on county facilities, occurring frequently during peak traffic hours. The Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvements Project was deemed necessary in order to ease projected congestion, improve safety, and address future traffic growth. The need for the project is also identified in the Carver County Transportation Plan (2007). Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 9 of 19 DISCUSSION The Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvements Project involves reconstruction of the segment of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) from approximately 800 feet east of Audubon Road (CSAH 15) to approximately 700 feet east of Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17), within the City of Chanhassen. The proposed project will accommodate capacity and safety improvements by reconstructing the current roadway from a two -lane undivided highway to a four -lane divided highway with medians and designated left turn lanes. The presence of the proposed medians will reduce the potential for head -on vehicle collisions. Additional crash data and safety information can be found in Appendix E and F of the Supplemental Information for the WCAI Corps Joint Permit Application, dated January 13, 2014. Other proposed safety improvements include improving sight lines by flattening grades and relocating dangerous approaches, as well as creating dedicated left turn lanes from eastbound Lyman Boulevard to northbound Audubon Road, an additional left turn lane from northbound Powers Boulevard to westbound Lyman Boulevard to accommodate increased traffic levels resulting from the new Chanhassen High School, and at the reconstructed intersection of Sunset Trail and Lyman Boulevard. A pork chop island is also proposed in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Powers Boulevard in order to allow trail users refuge from heavy traffic as they cross Lyman Boulevard. Traffic signals will be push -button actuated for the benefit of pedestrians and trail users trying to cross Lyman Boulevard. The pork chop island will also serve to channelize heavy vehicular traffic turning from eastbound Lyman Boulevard to southbound Powers Boulevard. This channelization and the dedicated right turn lanes will decrease the potential for rear end crashes which result from conflicts between turning traffic and through traffic. Wetlands within the proposed project area were delineated in August of 2007 and approved by the City of Chanhassen. An e-mail chain (2010) appended to the WCA/ Corps Joint Permit Application approved the use of the Wetland Delineation Report, dated August 2007, completed by Barbara Walther of SRF Consulting Group (Appendix D of the WCAI Corps Joint Permit Application, dated October 23, 2012), for the Lyman Boulevard reconstruction. In 2013 the wetland delineation was updated by SRF Consulting Group Inc. and Houston Engineering Inc. Both boundary and type application updates were approved. The delineation identified 18 wetland areas within the proposed project areas, as well as Bluff Creek. The original Joint Permit Application was submitted in December of 2012. The current application and supplemental information has been submitted in order to clarify and respond to ongoing discussions since the original submittal. The proposed improvements will result in permanent impacts to five wetlands including a small area peripheral to Bluff Creek, described and shown as follows: Wetlands 1 and 1B: These wetlands were found to be historically one wetland basin, and are now separated by a constructed berm. Both are classified as Manage 2 wetlands under the city's wetland classification system. Wetland lA is classified as a Type 3, Shallow Marsh wetland according to Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39. Wetland 1B is classified as a Type 2, Fresh (wet) Meadow according to Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39. Wetland 1 and 1B are located immediately south of Lyman Blvd within the right -of -way at 1551 Lyman Boulevard. Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 10 of 19 The proposed permanent impact to Wetland 1 will be approximately .02 acres, and the proposed impact to Wetland 1B will be approximately .06 acres (see aerial photograph in Figure 6 below). Figure 6. Wetlands 1A and f B is identified in the Houston Engineering Report Wetland 2: This wetland is classified as a Manage 2 wetland under the city's wetland classification system. It is classified as wetlands Type 2, Fresh (Wet) Meadow according to Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39. Wetland 16 is located immediately south of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18), and east of Bluff Creek. This wetland is a tributary wetland to Bluff Creek. The predominant vegetation species in the impacted area are Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), Cattails (Typha angustifolia), and Willow species (Salix spp.). The proposed impact area in this wetland is approximately .8 acres (see aerial photograph in Figure 7 below). Lyman Boulevard (CSAH Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 11 of 19 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Wetland 14: This wetland is classified as a Manage 2 wetland under the city's wetland classification system, and a Type 2, Fresh (wet) Meadow according to Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39. It is a flow - through wetland, located north and east of the intersection of Audubon Road (CSAH 15) and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18), which receives water from, and outlets to, Bluff Creek. The predominant vegetation in the impacted area is Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea), green bulrush (Scirpus atrovirens), and Sedge species (Carex spp.). The proposed permanent impact to this wetland will be approximately .94 acres (see aerial photograph in Figure 8 below). Wetland 19: This wetland is classified as a Type 1L, Seasonally Flooded Basin wetland according to Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39. It is not classified under the city's wetland classification system. Wetland 19 is located immediately southeast of the intersection of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18), and Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17). The predominant vegetation species in the impacted area is Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica).The proposed impact area to this wetland is approximately .01 acres (see aerial photograph in Figure 9 below). Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 12 of 19 Bluff Creek: Bluff Creek is a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Protected Watercourse. The predominant vegetative species in the impacted area is Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea). The applicant is proposing .17 acres of permanent impact to Bluff Creek, associated with culvert replacement, grading, and rip -rap to be installed with the culvert. The applicant has obtained the necessary permits and approvals from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the proposed work within Bluff Creek (Department of Natural Resources Public Waters Work Permit 2014 -0526 can be found in Appendix D of the Supplemental Information for the WCAI Corps Joint Permit Application, dated January 13, 2014). ALTERNATIVES The Wetland Conservation Act requires the applicant to list at least two alternatives to the proposed project that would avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands or waters (one of which may be "no build" or "do nothing "). The applicant then must list and explain why the option described in the application was chosen over these alternatives. The following alternatives were presented in the Joint Notification Application submitted by the applicant: A No -Build alternative would entail making no changes or improvements to the existing roadway, and would result in no impacts to wetlands. Maximum capacity, and the associated safety issues, could be reached within only a few years at the current rate of growth within the vicinity of the proposed project. The traffic forecasted for 2034 indicates 26,500 vehicles per day (vpd) in the project area. This alternative does not feasibly meet the proposed project goals of safety improvement and congestion ease within the corridor. The No -Build alternative does not address the purpose and need for the project. Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 13 of 19 Alternative road alignments were evaluated to determine if impacts to the wetlands and Bluff Creek could be avoided and to identify minimization opportunities. Wetlands to be impacted as a result of the proposed project are located within the right -of -way, near or at the toe -of -slope of the existing roadway. Bluff Creek also flows under the existing Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) corridor, thus complete avoidance is not feasible. Trail Alternative The No Build Trail Alternative was considered and rejected because it would not serve to provide continuity in the regional trail system. The location of the trail on the north side of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) was largely driven by the location of the trail segment constructed during Phase 1 of this roadway improvement, also on the north side of Lyman Boulevard. The construction of the new Chanhassen High School in 2009 on the north side of Lyman Boulevard also influenced trail location. Impact Minimization The Wetland Conservation Act requires that if avoidance is not an option, the unavoidable impacts are minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Efforts have also been made by the applicant to minimize the proposed wetland impacts by creating steeper side slopes through the highway sections that are adjacent to wetlands, thereby minimizing the roadway footprint through these areas. The multi -use trail was designed to minimize wetland impacts to the greatest extent practicable without compromising project goals. Stormwater Management Stormwater runoff from the newly created impervious surface associated with the western portion of the project will be treated utilizing the Bluff Creek stormwater pond located immediately southeast of the intersection of Audubon Road (CSAH 15) and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18), which was constructed in previous phases of the Lyman Boulevard reconstruction. Runoff in the eastern portion of the project area will connect to an existing stormwater pipe that drains to an existing storm pond east of Powers Boulevard. Therefore, there will be no additional wetland impact due to creation of stormwater management facilities. Wetland Replacement Wetland replacement for this project will be accomplished via a number of methods; restoration for temporary impacts, BWSR roadway replacement bank, and wetland bank credits purchased from wetland bank #1392. The revised replacement plan proposes that .66 acres (.33 ac at a 2:1 ratio) resulting from the roadway safety improvements would be replaced with BWSR roadway replacement credits, and 3.1 acres (1.55 ac at a 2:1 ratio) resulting from non - safety - related wetland impacts be replaced by the County, using wetland bank credits purchased from wetland bank account #1392, located in the same Bank Service Area 9, and Major Watershed 33. Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 14 of 19 A total of. 14 acres of temporary impacts will be made in areas where wetlands are immediately adjacent to the existing roadway toe -of- slope, due to muck removal and soil stabilization. These temporary impacts will be restored to preconstruction conditions by re- grading to original contours, and stabilized with a combination of Types 1, 2, and 3 Rapid Stabilization methods. OTHER AGENCIES The applicant is responsible for obtaining any permits or approvals from the appropriate regulatory agencies and compliance with their conditions of approval.

(6) The disposal of any excess material shall include proper erosion control and nutrient retention measures. FINDING: The applicant and their contractor must submit a satisfactory erosion and sediment control plan, and comply with all applicable sections of Chanhassen City Code, the city's Surface Water Management Plan, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. (7) Alterations to any wetland area are prohibited during waterfowl breeding season or fish spawning season, unless it is determined by the city that the wetland is not used for waterfowl breeding or fish spawning. Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 18 of 19 FINDING: The applicant and their contractor are required to refrain from any wetland altering activity during waterfowl breeding and fish spawning season. (8) Alterations to wetland areas shall be mitigated in accordance with the requirements of this article if the activity results in a loss of wetland area and/or function and value of the wetland. FINDING: The applicant has submitted a replacement plan as part of the Joint Notification Application for Wetland Replacement which was received on December 20, 2012. The applicant is proposing to replace the impacted area using wetland bank credits. The required replacement ratio is 2:1. This is consistent with Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules, and City Code, Chapter 20, Article VI. (9) Dedicated buffers in accordance with sections 20 -411. FINDING: The applicant must comply with the City's Wetland Protection Ordinance. In order to accommodate the reconstruction, the plan proposes impacts to four wetlands totaling 1.88 acres of permanent wetland impact. The applicant, Carver County, is proposing to replace the permanently impacted area resulting from safety - related roadway improvements (.33 acres) using wetland bank credits from the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) roadway replacement bank, and the impacted area resulting from non - safety- related impacts (1.55 acres) using credits from wetland bank #1392. In both cases the requirement calls for a 2:1 replacement ratio. This is consistent with Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules. The applicant must receive the City's approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to any wetland impact occurring. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve Wetland Alteration Permit #2014 -05 and WCA Permit Number 2013 -01 to impact 1.88 acres of wetland and the replacement plan under MN Rules Chapter 8420 which utilizes the purchase of 1.55 acres of wetland credit from bank #1392 and 0.33 acres from the BWSR Road Replacement Program for the purpose of the reconstruction of the proposed County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 18 (Lyman Boulevard) Roadway Improvements Project, Phase 3; and authorize the Water Resources Coordinator to sign the joint notification application for approval of wetland replacement as shown in plans dated January 13, 2014 subject to the following conditions: Lyman Boulevard (CSAH Planning Case #2014 -05 March 4, 2014 Page 19 of 19 18) Roadway Improvement Project Wetland Alteration Permit Wetland replacement shall occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420). The applicant shall receive the City's approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to any wetland impact occurring. 2. An appeal has been filed on behalf of Mr. Rick Dorsey. This is an appeal of staff decision to deny a request for a No -Loss determination for Wetland IA. Any approval of mitigation quantities shall be contingent upon the outcome of this appeal. The county may hold any additional credits and apply those credits to future phases of the Lyman (CSAH 18) reconstruction project. 3.

On March 4, 2013, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application of Carver County for a wetland alteration permit to impact five wetlands. The total area proposed to be impacted is 1.88 acres. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the wetland alteration permit which was preceded by published notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Agricultural Estate, Rural Residential, and Planned Unit Development - Residential, and Bluff Creek Primary Corridor. 2. The property is guided in the Land Use Plan for Residential Large -Lot, Residential Medium - Density, Residential Low - Density, Office Industrial, Office Commercial, and Parks and Open Space. 3. The proposed project is located within the CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard) corridor between Audubon Road and Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) within the City of Chanhassen. 4. City code directs that a wetland alteration permit shall not be issued without having been first reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council following the review and hearing procedures set forth for conditional use permits and the additional requirement of Minnesota Rules Chapter 8420.0230. Wetland alteration and Conditional Use Criteria: The Planning Commission shall recommend a wetland alteration permit and the Council shall issue such wetland alteration permit only if it finds that: a. The proposed project will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The proposed wetland impacts that will occur with the Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Roadway Improvements Project have not been found to pose danger to public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare.

The applicant is proposing to replace the impacted area using wetland bank credits. The required replacement ratio is 2:1. This is consistent with Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules, and City Code, Chapter 20, Article V1. (9) Dedicated buffers in accordance with sections 20 -411. The applicant must comply with the City's Wetland Protection Ordinance. In order to accommodate the reconstruction, the plan proposes impacts to five wetlands totaling 1.88 acres of permanent wetland impact. The applicant, Carver County, is proposing to replace the permanently impacted area resulting from safety - related improvements (.33 acres) using wetland bank credits from the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) roadway replacement bank, and the impacted area resulting from non - safety - related improvements (1.55 acres) using credits from wetland bank #1392. In both cases the requirement calls for a 2:1 replacement ratio. This is consistent with Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules. The applicant must receive the City's approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to any wetland impact occurring.

Proposed Timeline Bids will be received in February 2014. Construction is expected to begin in April 2014. Substantial completion and cleanup will be in late November 2014. Project closeout is summer of 2015. Item 6. Project Description The purpose of the project is to improve safety, ease projected congestion, and address necessary improvements to accommodate the future traffic growth related to the existing Chanhassen High School and other adjacent developments in the area. The need for the project is identified in the Carver County Transportation Plan (2007). Carver County is experiencing a high level of population growth, with most of the growth taking place in the central and eastern portions of the county. The cities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria and Waconia are estimated to account for over half of the total County population by 2030. The 2030 County population forecast is almost triple the year 2000 population. Due to the current and expected future population growth, congestion in areas of central and eastern Carver County is expected to rise on County facilities, occurring frequently during the peak hours. Without the proposed project, the CSAH 18 corridor will continue to experience increasingly unacceptable levels of congestion and associated safety issues. Safety information, including crash data, is presented in Appendix F. The purpose of the specific impacts to the wetlands, as previously described, includes roadway fill impacts. Proposed Improvements This project involves reconstruction of the segment of CSAH 18 from approximately 800 feet east of CSAH 15 (Audubon Road) to approximately 700 feet east of CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard), in the City of Chanhassen (see Figure 2a Appendix C). This project will accommodate safety and capacity improvements to the roadway facility, as well as drainage and stormwater management, access management and a pedestrian /bicycle facility. The construction plans have been developed to minimize impacts to wetlands, water and other natural resources. Several existing stormwater management ponds will be utilized to accommodate runoff from the additional pavement within the project area. Wetlands that are proposed to be impacted are located within the right of way and at the toe of slope of the existing roadway. Impacts are directly related to the proposed improvements. Item 8. Sequencing Considerations Wetland Impact Avoidance The No Build Alternative is the only alternative that would completely avoid wedand impacts. However, the No Build Alternative would not address current safety and capacity issues in the project area. Therefore, the No Build Alternative was considered to be not feasible. Alignments slightly to the north and to the south of the existing alignment were assessed; however, the least wetland impacts were found with the proposed alternative. Wetland Impact Minimization Remaining unavoidable impacts were minimized to the extent practicable with steeper side slopes through the highway sections that are adjacent to wetlands, thereby minimizing the roadway footprint through these areas. Side slopes for the proposed road improvement were generally 1:3 in the vicinity of wetlands and 1:4 elsewhere. Slopes steeper than 1:3 present vehicular safety issues and can require installation of guard rail. Guard rail can make snow removal more difficult. Retaining walls were considered early in the planning process; however, the costs of installing them were prohibitive. Retaining walls would have required additional excavation of unstable soils and more surcharge than with a sloped design. Appropriate silt fencing and its proper installation will be specified on plan sheets for areas of the road improvement that are within 50 feet of wetlands. Anti- erosion measures will include rapid re- vegetation of side slopes with cover crops and eventually with appropriate MnDOT seed mixes. The widths of road lanes, medians, dedicated turning lanes and clear zones were designed according to State Aid Design Standards. While design exceptions from standards and guidelines in this Manual are sometimes possible, such exceptions incrementally diminish roadway safety. The two -way bicycle /pedestrian trail was designed according to standards and guidelines listed in the Minnesota Administrative Rules 8820.9995 State Aid Minimum Bicycle Path Standards and the MnDOT Bikeway Facility Design Manual. Design exceptions from standards and guidelines are sometimes possible, but such exceptions can diminish the safety of the trail. The trail alignment is adjacent and contiguous with the road. This design minimizes wetland impacts as a portion of the trail embankment is shared with the road embankment. The boulevard width between the trail and proposed curb was reduced through the wetlands in order to further minimize wetland impacts. Mitigation for Unavoidable Wetland Impacts Onsite wetland mitigation was considered early in the planning process; however, the costs of acquiring right -of -way for a relatively small amount of required wetland mitigation was prohibitive. Purchasing existing credits from a suitable wetland mitigation bank within the same Major Watershed and Bank Service Area as the wetland impacts was cost - effective and would result in wetland mitigation that is already known to be functioning acceptably. Unavoidable permanent wetland impacts will be mitigated through the BWSR Road Replacement program (Item 17 Appendix A) and through an approved State Wetland Bank (Item 21 Appendix A). In areas where wetlands are immediately adjacent to the existing roadway toe -of- slope, temporary impacts due to muck removal to stabilize foundation soils, will be restored to preconstruction conditions by re- grading to original contours. These temporary impacts are quantified in Item 9B below. It is anticipated that temporary wetland impacts would not require mitigation other than restoration to pre - construction conditions. Temporary impacts will be stabilized with a combination of Types 1, 2, and 3 Rapid Stabilization methods. Type 1 is disk anchoring. Type 2 is application of mulch and hydraulic application of a tackifier. Type 3 is application of Seed Mix #190 in combination with fertilizer and tackifier. Item 9a. Impact Summary: Impacts to Lakes and Watercourses A Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Public Waters Work Permit (Permit Number 2014 -0526) has been issued for work within Bluff Creek (M- 055 -014) — Appendix D. Item 9b. Description of Wetland Impacts The proposed wetland impacts are located in Carver County, in the Minnesota River — Shakopee (33) Major Watershed and Bank Service Area 9 — Metro Area. Table 1 below lists the proposed impacts to wetlands located within the project area. The proposed wetland impacts are shown on Figures 3A through 3C (Appendix C). Refer to Item 6 for a complete description of the proposed project. A total of 1.88 acres of permanent wetland impact and 0.16 acres of temporary impact are proposed as a result of the roadway reconstruction. Of the 1.88 acres of impact, 0.33 acres are permanent and safety - related and 1.55 acres are not eligible for safety credits (See Appendix E and F for Safety information). The permanent safety - related impacts include 0.13 acres of impact to Bluff Creek, a DNR Protected Watercourse, and are associated with culvert replacement, grading, and rip -rap for culvert outfall within the channel north and south of Lyman Boulevard. As described in Item 8. Sequencing Considerations above, a total of 0.16 acres of temporary impacts will be restored to pre - construction conditions.

This report serves as an update to the 2007 Wetland Delineation Report (August 2007). The delineation excludes wetlands 15, 16, and 17, which have been re- delineated by a third party in a separate application. Wetlands WI 0 through W 13 were also not assessed in this report. There were three wetland basins re- delineated as part of this report. W -14 has been identified as a Type 2, fresh wet meadow wetland. W- 18 and W -19 have been identified as Type IL, seasonally flooded basin wetlands. Based upon our review, the City of Chanhassen, as the LGU responsible for administration of Minnesota R. 8420, concurs with the delineated boundary and types as identified in the 2007 wetland determination and delineation report prepared by SRF Consulting, and the update to the report dated October 2, 2013.

These crashes include 15 personal injury crashes and 40 property damage crashes. According to MnDOT's crash data from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2011 and locally- collected data, there have been a total of 42 crashes on CSAH 18 within the project area. These crashes include 14 personal injury crashes and 28 property damage crashes. Thus, a total of 97 crashes have occurred on the subject road improvement between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2011. Additional crash data are appended to this supplement and demonstrate that the crash rate in the subject road improvement is considerably higher than similar roadway in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. See Attachment 1.In addition, unsafe conditions for pedestrians result from the lack of a pedestrian facility along CSAH which has a 50 -mph speed limit and high traffic volumes along the corridor. Existing (2010) traffic volumes along CSAH 18 in the project area are approximately 8,800 vehicles per day (vpd). Future (2030) traffic volumes are forecast to be approximately 23,000 vpd (Lyman Boulevard Phase III Traffic Analysis Update, SRF Consulting, dated January 12, 2012). This includes traffic generated from the new Chanhassen High School. Traffic operations were analyzed for existing (2010) conditions and for future forecast No Build conditions (2030). Capacity analysis (level of service (LOS)) was used to examine the operational characteristics for key intersections within the project area. LOS is a relative comparison of the ability of an intersection to function and accommodate traffic flow. The LOS of an intersection is generally presented as a rating from A through F, with A having the least delays and F having substantial delays. In the metropolitan area, an intersection with an LOS of D or better is considered to be operating at an acceptable level. Congestion results in safety issues. The following text describes safety improvements along the proposed Phase 3 reconstruction Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18). In general the roadway will be reconstructed from a 2 -lane undivided highway to a 4 -lane divided highway with medians. The presence of the proposed medians will reduce the potential for head -on vehicle collisions. Audubon Road (north) and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Currently, eastbound traffic on Lyman Boulevard waiting to turn left onto northbound Audubon Road stacks up, forming a queue that blocks the left turn bypass lane. Thus, motorists who wish to travel past Audubon Road are often caught in the left turn queue and tend to make abrupt turns into the through lane leading to rear -end or side swipe crashes. The proposed dedicated left turn lanes from eastbound Lyman Boulevard to northbound Audubon Road allow turning traffic to seek refuge without interfering with eastbound through traffic, thus reducing the potential for crashes. Eastbound traffic on Lyman Boulevard turning north onto Audubon Road can use the median width and the westbound dedicated left turn lanes as refuge as drivers gauge gaps in the westbound traffic before they traverse the westbound through lanes to complete their turn. Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) The regional recreational trail runs alongside the west side of Powers Boulevard where it crosses Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18). A porkchop island will be constructed in the southwest quadrant of this intersection in order to allow trail users refuge from heavy traffic as they cross Lyman Boulevard. Traffic signals will be push button actuated for the benefit of pedestrians and trail users trying to cross Lyman Boulevard. The porkchop island will also serve to channelize heavy vehicular traffic turning from eastbound Lyman Boulevard to southbound Powers Boulevard. This channelization and dedicated right turn lanes will decrease the potential for rear -end crashes which result from conflicts between turning traffic and through traffic. An additional left turn lane from north bound Powers Boulevard to westbound Lyman Boulevard is proposed because heavy left turning traffic at this intersection tends to stack an unacceptable distance south on Powers Boulevard. This long queue interferes with the north bound through lanes on Powers Boulevard and tends to increase the potential for rear -end crashes. The heavy traffic needing to turn from northbound Powers Boulevard to westbound Lyman Boulevard is partly the result of the new Chanhassen High School built in 2009. Sunset Trail and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) The intersection of Sunset Trail and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) is at the top of a relatively steep hill. Thus, vertical sight lines are dangerous and there is a high potential for side - impact crashes as vehicles enter CSAH 18 from a current driveway. This driveway will be relocated to a side street and the approach grades on CSAH 18 will be flattened to increase the vertical sight distance and reduce the potential for side impact crashes. The reconstruction of this intersection will have dedicated left turn lanes on CSAH 18. This will greatly reduce the potential for rear -end crashes resulting from conflicts between turning traffic and through traffic. Trail Alternatives The No Build Trail Alternative was considered and rejected because it would not serve to provide continuity in the regional trail system. The location of the trail on the north side of Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) was largely driven by the location of the trail segment constructed during Phase 1 of this roadway improvement — also on the north side of Lyman Boulevard. The construction of the new Chanhassen High School in 2009 on the north side of Lyman Boulevard also was a driver for trail location.

Table 2: Comparison of Lyman Blvd Segment Crash Rates with Mn /DOT Metro District Crash Rates for Rural 2 -Lane Segments Lyman Blvd Corridor Segment Crash Rate Data Mn /DOT Crash Rates Metro Rural 2 -Lane* Segment Crash Rate = 4.36 crashes per million vehicle miles 0.80* (1.33) ** Segment Severity Rate = 6.33 1.20* Segment Crash Density = 14.00 crashes per mile per year 4.40* Segment Crash Cost" = $232,734 per mile per year * The Mn /DOT Metro District average crash and severity rates and crash density are based on the 2007 -2011 Average Crash Rates for Rural 2 -Lane roadways in the Metro District crash rate data. ** The Crash Rate shown in parentheses is the (Critical Crash Rate) based on and calculated using the related average crash rate. The critical crash rate provides a statistically relevant crash rate benchmark. ^ Note that crash cost is based on the following costs by crash severity: F: $560,000, A: $280,000, B: $61,000, C: $30,000, PD: $4,400 The value used for fatal crashes in the crash cost is 2 times the value of an 'A' severity crash. See HES documentation for information on when it may be appropriate to use full cost for a fatal crash of $3,600,000. Conclusions: 1. The crash rate for the Lyman Blvd Segment is above the average crash rate and above the critical crash rate based on the Mn /DOT Metro District average crash rates for similar segments. 2. Segments with crash rates above the critical crash rate are considered to be in need of further safety review since there is a high probability (95 %) that roadway conditions along the segment are contributing to the crashes and the crashes are not occurring by chance circumstance. 3.

Safety - Related Wetland Impacts and Non Safety - Related Trail Impacts Typically, wetland impacts resulting from safety- related roadway improvements are mitigated through the BWSR Road Replacement Program. Those wetland impacts that result from improvements to address future roadway capacity or recreational trails are not mitigated through the BWSR Road Replacement program; rather, they are often mitigated through the purchase of credits from existing suitable wedand banks or on -site mitigation. In order to separate wetland impacts into relevant categories such as safety, capacity, and, trail - related, SRF created a hypothetical depiction of the subject roadway that would be recommended to address safety related issues, based on estimated 2014 traffic volumes. Based upon previous 2010 traffic counts, historical data and a straight -line estimation method, we estimate the 2014 volumes on CSAH 18 as follows: • West Segment (CSAH 15 to Audubon Road North) — 13,000 ADT • East Segment (Audubon Road North to CSAH Tn — 10,800 ADT Refer to revised Figures 3A -3C in Appendix C. Figures 3A -3C show the revised construction limits for the proposed roadway improvements and a hypothetical minimum build road configuration within those construction limits. Based upon the estimated 2014 traffic volumes, the hypothetical minimum build roadway would consist of a 2 -lane (1 lane eastbound and 1 lane westbound) rural section with no median and dedicated left and right turn lanes at the Audubon Road North / CSAH 18 intersection. Refer to Figure 4 in Appendix C for comparison of the hypothetical versus proposed typical sections. The proposed roadway is a 4-lane (2 lanes eastbound and 2 lanes westbound) urban section with a median and dedicated left and right turn lanes. The hypothetical roadway configuration does not include a recreational trail whereas the proposed roadway improvements include a recreational trail. The design of both the minimum build and proposed roadway section, as described above, follow the minimum design standards set forth by Minnesota Rules 8820.9936 URBAN, 8820.9926 RURAL, 8820.9995 BIKEWAY STANDARDS and State Aid requirements. Wetland impacts resulting from the minimum build configuration not associated with trails or capacity improvements would be considered safety impacts to be mitigated through BWSR Program. Wetland impacts outside of the minimum build estimated construction limits resulting from the proposed roadway improvements would be considered non safety - related impacts. Table 1 and 2 below summarize the wetland impacts resulting from the minimum safety - related improvements, the proposed wetland impacts beyond the minimum safety - related improvements and proposed mitigation strategies for each wetland identified along this project.

Carver County plans to reconstruct a segment of CSAH 18 (Lyman Blvd.) between CSAH 15 (Audubon Rd. South) and CSAH 17 (Powers Blvd.) in Chanhassen. The roadway here is currently a rural, undivided two -lane section. Reconstruction will upgrade the roadway to a divided four -lane section. West of CSAH 15, CSAH 18 has already been upgraded to a divided four -lane section. There will be minor horizontal and vertical adjustments to the roadway. Work will include the widening of traffic lanes and construction of a two -way ped/bike trail along the north side of CSAH 18. Narrow strips of additional right of way will be needed for the project. The project area of potential effect (APE) for direct effects to cultural resources is defined by the project construction limits, including temporary and permanent easements. The APE for indirect effects includes the first tier of properties adjacent to the project that are not screened from the project by vegetation, topography or other features. There are no known cultural resources within the APE. The APE has low potential for containing unidentified intact archaeological resources due to disturbance caused by previous roadway and utilities construction. The architecture /history properties within the APE are less than 50 years of age and are not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The fording of this office is that there will be no historic properties affected by the project as currently proposed. If the project scope changes, please provide our office with the revised information and we will conduct an additional review, Sincerely, Elizabeth J.
