Resolution 2022-46: Accept the Bids and Award the Contract for the 2022 City Pavement Rehabilitation Project; and Resolution 2022-47: Adopt Assessment Roll. George Bender, Assistant City Engineer, gave a presentation on the 2022 City Rehabilitation Project. This is the second public hearing for the project which is related to assessments. He shared a map of the proposed work areas on screen and shared a summary of public engagement that has occurred to date including an open house about the project, yard signs with a QR code, a project webpage, and a survey. Staff and the consulting engineer feel the bid amounts are good and represent a fair value. The base bid amount with alternate 1 would be $4.65 million. Mr. Bender noted it is over the engineer’s estimate but is under budget overall. He shared people are aware that construction costs are escalating rapidly and they feel that is the primary reason for the cost coming in over estimate. Mr. Bender showed the assessment amounts for the Longacres ($3,105.46), Brinker ($2557.07), and Stone Creek ($3,371.84) areas noting per the City’s assessment policy the amounts are specific to each individual area. If the project is awarded it would start in May and be substantially complete in November with some other standard punch list items finished in spring of 2023. Staff recommends the City Council accept the bids, adopt the final assessment roll, and award the bid to GMH Asphalt. Mayor Ryan opened the public hearing. There were no public comments.

Resolution 2022-48: Approve Vacating an Easement for Public Roadway, Drainage and Utility Purposes over a Portion of Outlot A, Butternut Ridge Addition; and Ordinance 690: Request for Rezoning; Preliminary Plat with Variance to Tree Replacement Requirements to add Two Lots to the Approved Preliminary Plat. Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director, gave a presentation on the item, noting the public roadway vacation is off West 96th Street. City Council Minutes – May 9, 2022 6 Mr. Howley noted there is an existing access easement on the property to get some turnaround movement as there was not a proper cul-de-sac. When the plat goes through, eventually the road will go through there so the purpose of the easement is not needed any longer. To clean up recorded documents, they would like to vacate the easement which would be contingent on the final plat being approved down the line. Ms. Aanenson shared about tree preservation which is based on the lot size and the Applicant is requesting some variances to the tree replacement. The Applicant would still be planting the same number of trees with an adjustment to caliper size and Staff feels it is consistent based on the variance criteria. Mr. Howley noted this revision shows that they will extend an existing trail farther north to connect to another trail. Mayor Ryan opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Mayor Ryan closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Rehm moved, Councilwoman Schubert seconded that the City Council adopts a resolution approving the vacation of the grant of permanent easement for public roadway, drainage and utility purposes dated September 2, 2009 and recorded with the Carver County Recorder’s Office as document number A509111 on October 13, 2009; approves an amendment to the Preliminary Plat with a variance to the tree replacement requirement subject to the conditions of the Planning Commission staff report dated April 19, 2022; adopts the ordinance rezoning the property from Agricultural Estate District (A2) to Single-Family Residential (RSF) District to include the additional parcel; and adopts the Planning Commission's Findings of Fact. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. GENERAL BUSINESS 1. Approve a Request for Subdivision Review for Two Lots and Variances for the Use of a Private Street and a Neck Lot on Property Located at 855 Pleasant View Road Ms. Aanenson noted this item appeared at the Planning Commission on April 19 and the Applicant is requesting subdivision approval with a variance for a private street and a neck lot with two single-family residences on the property. The driveway will then serve the two additional homes. The Applicant will need to install a new water hydrant and provide for storm water treatment. Mr. Howley noted the final plans are still under development, and the Applicant is still working with the Watershed District and the City’s Water Resources Engineer to finalize storm water management on the site and he thinks they can get there. The proximity of the development being on a hill makes the City very cognizant of not negatively impacting the downstream areas and developments.
