6.14. SR 11-21-2005 Item 6.14. 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 November 10, 2005 File: 226-068F The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River MN 55330 RE: HIGHLAND ROAD AND SURROUNDING AREA INFORMATIONAL MEETING Dear Council Members: As requested, on Wednesday November 2, 2005, we held an informational meeting with the Highland Road and surrounding area (Ridgewood East/Ridgewood East 3rd Addition) property owners. Attached are the following items as background information: . Information meeting notice . Mailing list . PowerPoint presentation . Sign-up sheet . Informational meeting minutes . Dennis and Patty Goreman letter . Joe and Charity Dellwo As you can see from the PowerPoint presentation, four options were presented to the neighborhood. These included: 1. Do nothing 2. Add pedestrian facilities along existing Highland Road 3. Reconstruct Highland Road . Narrower . Urban section . Sidewalks 4. Bring City sewer/water and reconstructed street throughout the Ridgewood East/Ridgewood East 3rd Addition Phone: 763.635.1000 Fax: 763.635.1090 www.cLelk-river.mn.us Highland Road and Surrounding Area November 10, 2005 Page 2 The informational meeting lasted approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. There was a brief presentation at the beginning and well over an hour of questions, answers and comments. The general tone of those in attendance at the informational meeting was they were not interested in the sewer and water option, nor the" do nothing" option, but they were more interested in either adding pedestrian facilities or reconstructing Highland Road with sidewalks. I indicated to them that we would bring this back to the City Council and if the Council gave us direction to proceed on any specific project, we would hold another informational meeting during the process with the directly-affected property owners. For the Council's consideration if deemed appropriate, I have attached a resolution ordering a feasibility study for reconstructing Highland Road to an urban section, narrowing it slightly and constructing sidewalks on one or both sides. As indicated in the PowerPoint presentation material, the residents in attendance were told that this option would be assessed at $6,500 - $7,000 per residential unit (similar to the Pavement Management Program assessment method.) There was no one in attendance that raised objections to this amount of assessment. If you have any questions regarding this issue, I will be in attendance at your November 21, 2005 meeting.

Attendees See attached sign up sheet. 2. Presentation City Engineer Terry Maurer went through the attached PowerPoint presentation. He indicated that there was no specific project proposed for Highland Road or the surrounding area at this time; that this is strictly an informational meeting to gauge interest in potential projects in the area. Mr. Maurer reviewed four options which ranged from: · Do nothing · Add pedestrian facilities along existing Highland Road · Reconstruct Highland Road to a narrower urban section with sidewalks on both sides · Bring City Sewer/Water and reconstruct streets through the Ridgewood East/Ridgewood East 3[d Addition 3. Ouestion and Answers After the presentation was complete, the informational meeting was opened to questions and answers. The following is a summary of the questions asked and answers given: Q: With an urban style street on Highland Road, will there be storm sewer and will that change the drainage patterns? A: Storm sewer will be included with a reconstructed urban style street; however, the drainage patterns will not change. Runoff will still be deposited in the same low areas where the current road drains. Q: With the traffic increases should a reconstructed Highland Road have four lanes? A: The typical two-lane facility can generally handle 10,000-12,000 vehicles a day. The current traffic count in 2003 on Highland Road was measured at 3,000 vehicles a day. Although we anticipate there will be growth in the traffic count on Highland, we do not expect it to ever rise to the level of needing a four-lane facility. Q: Relative to some of the other transportation issues that have shown up in the paper such as the 193[d Avenue corridor study and the TH169 Geometric/Environmental study - do they had any bearing on the proposal to reconstruct Highland Road? A: The 193[d Corridor Study is on the east side ofTH169 and the TH169 Geometric/Environmental study was explained but it was indicated that MnDOT has no money programmed for construction; therefore, the answer is that the discussion of improvements for the Highland Road area is a stand-alone project and is not tied into potential improvements on TH169. Informational Meeting Minutes Ridgewood East/Ridgewood East Third Addition Page 2 of 6 Q: Will the homeowners be responsible for snow removal on a sidewalk or trail along Highland Road? A: No, the City Street Department or Parks Department will undertake the snow removal activities from the sidewalk or a trail since it is deemed to have a larger regional significance. However, it should be noted that trail snow removal is not the highest priority in a snowfall event and it may take a day or two for the snow to be removed. Q: Will there be additional lanes provided at Highland and Jackson for right turning vehicles. Similar question regarding Highland and Proctor and at the entrance to Salk School. A: Geometries at these points would certainly be looked at in great detail if a project to reconstruct Highland Road moves forward. At this point in time, we have not analyzed the geometries or turning movements at any of these locations. It is reasonable to assume that the street geometries would be widened out from the proposed 34-foot wide urban service section at these locations to accommodate turning vehicles and bus movements. Q: Could the proposed costs of sewer and water be gone through again. A: The slide involving the general costs of sewer and water, including assessment, hookups and SAC and WAC was shown and explained. Q: Are there stoplights proposed at any of the intersections along Highland Road? A: No signalized intersections are anticipated. At this point in time, the answer would be that we would replace the stop sign controls as they exist but we would also do a further study of signing and striping along the whole corridor and have potential additional signing/ striping proposals should the project move to the feasibility study. Q: Has the traffic on Highland Road increased due to the closure of County Road 77 (proctor Road) further to the north? A: We don't have specific information but it is reasonable to expect that some vehicles are cutting across at Highland Road to take other routes northerly that had previously used Proctor Road. The answer went on to explain the timing of the reconstruction of CSAH 33/County Road 77 indicating that this area should be reopened sometime in 2007. Q: Are assessments just added to taxes? A: The assessment process and the collection of assessment through the real estate tax statements was explained in greater detail. Q: What was put in a few years ago along Highland Road? A: It was explained that the Elk River Municipal Utilities used the Highland Road corridor to connect their east and west high pressure water zones so there is currently a watermain along the entire length of Highland Road, although no one has been required to hook up to it and no one along Highland Road has been assessed for this work. Informational Meeting Minutes Ridgewood East/Ridgewood East Third Addition Page 3 of 6 Q: Our property was assessed $1,700 several years ago for a sewer interceptor line. What will become of that assessment? A: It was explained that the $1,700 assessment several years ago was likely for an overlay project but approximately 2S years ago there was a sewer interceptor assessment of a much smaller value (likely less than $100 per lot) that was assessed. If this project moves forward including sewer and water, the precedent has been that these previous interceptor sewer assessments are given back as a credit against a future sewer assessment. There would no credit given back for an overlay assessment since the overlay of the roadways has served its useful life. Q: If there were contaminated wells would everyone in the area have to hook up to the City water system? A: If there were some source of contamination that caused private wells to be contaminated in the area, City water would be the only reasonable alternative; however, there is no known source of contamination that would cause an event like this to occur in the neighborhood. Q: Comment from a resident on King Circle indicating that he thought sidewalk on Highland Road would be a good improvement was wondering about sewer and water in the whole area and indicated that he and his neighbors were not in favor of it. A: The whole area is in the sewer and water district and if we are going to look at reconstructing Highland Road, the question of whether or not the remaining neighborhood would like to investigate the extension of sewer and water seemed to be a question that should be asked. That is why it is on the option list this evening. Comment: The neighborhood on Lowell Street south of Highland Road is generally happy with their septic systems and wells. Comment: Most of the residents on King Circle have recendy replaced their septic systems and are happy with their performance. Comment: Please do something with Highland Road, it needs to be reconstructed in an effort to slow down traffic and provide safe pedestrian facilities. I am in favor of option #3. Q: How much would option #2 cost which is just provide a trail along existing Highland Road. A: This would be deemed to be a temporary solution and would likely have no assessments. Q: Is there any state or federal money available for sewer and water extension into the area? A: There are only city funds available to help with the cost of sewer and water into the area. No federal or state funds are available. Q: Would there be any changes in the sharp curves or hills along Highland Road with a reconstruction project. A: We would likely be able to make some vertical adjustments but would be somewhat limited to horizontal adjustments given the existing right-of-way width of the corridor. I 4. Adjournment Being no more questions, the audience was thanked for coming, It was indicated that minutes and a report to the City Council would likely be presented at a November 21, 2005 City Council meeting.

November 2,2005 Terry Maurer City Engineer City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, JMN 55330 Dear Mr Maurer~ Perhaps you remember me from the meetings regarding the development of "the mall" between Jackson Avenue and Hwy 169. I was part of a citizen committee to look at the impact of "the mall" on the traffic patterns along Hwy 169, Jackson Avenue, School Street and specifically Highland Road I was fairly vocal regarding the impact of this development. Our highly regarded Traffic Engineer from Lakeville MN testified that regardless of what the City of Elk River was saying~ there would be a very high impact on these locations and intersections. You testified that the impact would be minimal. I suggest you refer back to the minutes of the public meetings for reference to the subject. They may be enlightening to review. The fact is Mr. Maurer there has been a substantial impact. Traffic in these areas is vr::ry bad at several times each day and particularly on Fridays. It becomes even haiardous on Holiday weekends, eves of the openings of the fishing and hunting seasons etc. It is not uncommon for the residents of Highland to have to wait several minutes before turning safely onto Highland from their driveways. Speeding is an ongoing issue and is rarely enforced. Quite contrary to your expert testimony during the "mall" meetings, Highland Road has been and continues to be the major East-West corridor between Proctor Avenue and the West side and Highway 169 and the East side commercial developments. And now there are more being developed. EOO/ZOO 'd 19L8L86Z 19! O~ HSI~ NHS10 WJ ~I:~n nHM ~nn7-7n-AnN " . 2 Now that there is "little or minimal" impact from the mall development, you have been directed by the Elk River City Council to have a meeting to discuss Highland Avenue. Imagine my surprise. This surprise started when we received a letter from you Monday October 31st dated October 26, 2005, announcing there will be a public meeting on November 3,2005. Considering the speed of the postal senrice it leaves very, very little time for people who are extremely tight for time to arrange/rearrange their schedules in order to be present and be heard. That being said, it is highly suspicious as well. The only viable way to go on record is via letter and fax. At that I have no way of knowing our concerns are heard by ''the public". I wish to go on record as saying NO to ('pedestrian facilities" which in common English are known as sidewalks! Sidewalks which snow removal will undoubtedly be the responsibility of the adjoining residences. NO to sewer systems that I will have to pay for as well as the inconvenience of having the street under construction for a summer. NO and I mean a definite NO to city water. We have a wonderful well that is very clean, the water is wonderful, does not smell or taste like chlorine and we would like it to remain that way. I would suggest to you Mr. Maurer, and to the City Council, the development of a additional East-West corridor before you attempt a "band-aid" solution to the Highland Road issue. I believe it would be highly advisable before property values along Highland Road and its adjoining streets start to plummet from the city's folly. If you check, it happened along Jackson, and is happening northwest of the Jackson intersection. 'What a shame for those folks who have worked so hard to maintain their properties only to see them diminish in value as a result of the city fathers poor planning. Unbelievable.
