Item Description
193rd Avenue Corridor Stu
Item Number
Introduction
The City Council ordered work to begin on the 193rd Avenue Corridor Study in mid-200S. Since
that time an analysis has been prepared, a Federal grant has been received, and informational
meetings with affected property owners have been held.
Discussion
There were four alternatives laid out for possible routes from the east end of 193rd Avenue in the
Woods at Hillside Addition to CSAH 13. The City Council asked for a more detailed analysis
relative to the land acquisition, properties to be acquired and construction costs to help with the
determination of the best alternative. At Monday evening's meeting, I will have a detailed
PowerPoint presentation providing the additional information. I have also had a meeting with
John Menter, Sherburne County Public Works Director, in an effort to firm up the County's
decision as to the best location for a new 193rd Avenue intersection and how the County will deal
with the Tyler Street/ CSAH 13 existing intersection.
As directed by the City Council, a mailing has been sent to a large area surrounding the existing
and proposed 193rd Avenue Corridor, informing them of the status of the process and the
discussion to take place Monday evening.
Financial Impact
As indicated previously, it appears that Elk River will receive a $950,000 Federal grant for the
construction of the 193rd Avenue Corridor. This grant will fund approximately 70 - 80 percent of
construction. The City will be responsible for the remaining construction cost, all land acquisition
costs and all overhead costs.
Attachments
Attached is a copy of the mailed notice which was sent regarding this evening's discussion, along
with a map showing roughly the boundaries of the mailing.
Action Requested
Discussion regarding the four options proposed, elimination of any options if possible, and
consideration for setting a public hearing date to continue the option discussion with the affected
property owners in attendance.

RE: 193RD AVENUE CORRIDOR
Dear Property Owners:
On March 20, 2006, City staff presented to the City Council our findings regarding the 193rd
Avenue Corridor Study along with comments received from the two informational meetings
held on Tuesday, January 24 and Wednesday, January 25, 2006. The City Council asked staff
to provide a more detailed analysis of the four alternatives presented for the 193rd Avenue
Corridor from Woods at Hillside Estates to CSAH 13. This analysis will include the amount
of land acquisition both for the road right-of-way and remnant parcels, an estimate of the
properties impacted and homes or businesses that may need to be purchased and! or
relocated, along with construction costs. City staff is scheduled to present this information
back to the City Council on Apri117, 2006. The City Council wanted to have the residents
notified of this meeting, although it is not scheduled as a public hearing. This is to keep you
informed of the progress on this issue. We expect that the City Council will schedule a
public hearing after receiving and analyzing this additional information. Mailed notices will
again be provided for the public hearing in the future.
If you have any questions regarding this issue or would like an update after the Apri117,
2006 meeting, feel free to contact me at 763/635-1051 or tmaurer@ci.elk-river.mn.us.
Sincerely,
