The EDA has discussed abatement and environmental costs, which would be approximately $550, O00 plus $8, O00 for fitel oil tank removal. The asbestos removal is an estimate, as we were not allowed to get into the walls.

The la~P. 9 if developed with 90 units, appraised at $1,066,000, City Council Minutes January 26, 2004 Page 6 of 9 which shows that the EDA has acted wisely and acquired this property for a very good price. A tax h~crement finance (TIF) report indicates the property meets the necessary qualification requirements. An engineering report completed indicates that the building is substandard and wouM require approximately $1.9 million to be brought up to code.

Wyckoff stated that use of the property has not been determined. She indicated the desire to save some of the fi'ont brick and balusters. Leveling the site would make it more desirable for development. Nawrocki stated that he has no desire to keep parts of the building because of the associated costs, and that it is u~ortunate the process was expedited, avoiding the hearing process. Fehst suggested amending the motion to include in the Resohttion where the fimds wouM come from. Nawroch' questioned Section 6 of the Resolution and when the loan wouM be repaid. Fehst indicated this is the requirement if TIF is used for the property. If development were to be a public building, there would be no TIF and fimds would need to come fi'om other place. Nawrocki questioned estimated demolition. Streetar stated between April and August 2004, as demolition wouM be with Community Development grant fimds and could not be used until after July.

REQUEST TO MODII~Y STREET STRIPING IN FRONT OF 1605 37TM AVENUE. This issue was tabled at the November meeting pending further review by the Traffic Commission. Mr. Earnest Miller of 1605 37th Avenue has requested that the parking in front of his house be reinstated. At the November meeting, Mr. Miller indicated that his visitors are older and do not want to pull into his driveway or park across the street. He stated that he was not consulted in the elimination of the parking and he would appreciate having it back. Earher this summer a Columbia Heights Pohce Officer observed a traffic movement conflict on west bound 37th Avenue at Johnson Street. The conflict was caused by left-turning traffic blocking thru-traffic. A taper was added to the westbound lane on 37th Avemte at Johnson Street to provide two lanes of traffic at the light. This allows tlm~ and right-turning traffic to maneuver around any left-tm-ning traffic. As 37th Avenue is a heavily traveled street (9,450 A.D.T.), the extra lane seems to provide smoother traffic flow. The taper cannot safely be moved or made any shorter. P. 14 Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Cormnission December 1, 2003 Page 2 go VI. VII. Staff is sensitive to parking concerns. Mr. Miller has the option ofparldng further east on 37th Avenue or on the south side of 37th Avenue. You may recall, the parking lane on the north side of 37th Avenue was reestablished in the fall of 2002. Prior to that, the north side was designated as "no parking" for many years. Commission members reviewed the intersection during morning and early evening hours. The commissioners felt the tm-n lane was not needed with the amount of traffic and the turning movements. During the various observation times, no one needed to wait for more than one cycle to advance through the intersection. The right lane is not being used for just right turns and to get around left turning traffic, cars in the right lane are also trying to beat out cars in the left lane and then filter back into traffic. If the right lane was removed, Chief Johnson requested a sign be installed stating "No Driving on Shoulder" so that all traffic would need to go straight or turn from the driving lane, not the parking lane. Motion by Carlson, second by Sturdevant to elh2inate the traffic lane and install ''No Driving on Shoulder" sign. Motion carried unanimously. OTHER OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS None.

Following the December 2003 meeting with the Park and Recreation Commission, a meeting was held with Community Development, Bonestroo and Hoisington Koegler, to review the ch'aft Master Park Plan and fit with the Industrial Plan. Based upon this meeting, additional alternatives will be prepared for the Huset Park Master Plan. Some topics of conversation were the south parldng lot in relationship to the redevelopment that will be talcing place across the street from that site; that the cmTent roadway layout does not contain a continuous parkway, as described in the Industrial Study; and providing additional detail on stormwater ponding described in the Industrial Study; and providing additional detail on stormwater ponding that would P. 19 PAGE TWO need to be obtained to insure surface water management; and the possibility of putting the site amenities where the t-ball field is cun'ently shown on plan. Alternatives will be presented at a public meeting to obtain feedback and input for a final plan to be presented to the City Council for consideration. Commission Member, Marsha Stroik, questioned what development would be talcing place south of Huset Park west. Kevin Hansen stated that the City performed an Industrial Study on that area and determined that the highest and best usage for that pm-ticular site would be transferred to medium to high density residential. Townhomes and/or condominiums would be built on that site, anticipating 240 units. Site preparation will be required prior to any redevelopment, including clean up of the site due to heavy soil contamination. Analysis previously performed (1989) on Huset Park showed that soil issues would not affect athletic field construction of Huset Park. Kevin Hansen stated that the sale of land of the existing parlcing lot off of Quincy would be one way to generate funds for the development of Huset Park. The existing parlcing lot would be divided into 4 or 5 parcels of land and would be sold for $4-60k per lot. Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans, questioned if park land could be sold without replacing the park land. Kevin Hansen noted that it would be determined on how the existing park land was originally acquired. Additional land that the ponds would be placed could offset the sale of the pm'lcing lot. Eileen Evans asked about the selling options for Lomianlci south. Kevin Hansen stated that at this time, he is not aware of anytNng occurring or being discussed for the sale of that land. Eileen Evans questioned if the new townhomes that are to be built south of Huset Park west would have children. It is unknown at this point. Marsha Stroik asked if the townhomes would be section eight. Kevin Hansen stated it would not be section eight. Commission Member, David Payne, asked the time frame of Huset Park Master Plan. Kevin Hansen stated the next step would be determining where the funds would come from. It was also noted that the park would be unusable for one year. Commission Member, Gary Mayer, asked where the Columbia Heights Jamboree would be moved. Kevin Hansen stated that the City owns NEI, which may be a possible location. Gary Mayer asked the likelihood of the Huset Park Master Plan going through. Kevin Hansen stated all of the effort would not have been put into this project if he felt it some level of redevelopment would not occur. Due to the cost and related funding issues, it is likely that Park redevelopment would occur over time, and not in one fell swoop. A public meeting with the Huset Park Neighborhood group will be held in February or March of 2004 and their comments and input will be brought to the next Park and Recreation Commission meeting for further discussion.

AND 43 ½ AVENUE FROM BONESTROO ROSENE ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS BY: K. Hanse~ DATE: 2/3/0~ CITY MANAGER DATE: NOTE: Please bring a copy of the Engineering Report that was distributed at the February 2® Work Session. Background: From the June 24 and 25th storm events of 2003, the property owners of the apartments on Tyler Place NE, between 44a and 43-1/2 Avenues came before the City Council with issues of surface water flooding. Staff was directed to review the existing conditions and report to the Council of any possible changes irt operation or physical improvements that would improve or alleviate the flooding in this area. Analysis/Conclusions: This was an area that was investigated in 1998/99, as a result of the 1997 storms that caused flooding in localized areas of the City. The recommendation at that time was to replace a 48 inch CMP pipe that hms in the rem' yards, identified on the attached map between MH's 3 to 6. Due to the existing conditions in the rear yards and encroachments in the easement area, the replacement option of this pipe was not pursued with other projects in 2000. The pipe capacity was restored to close to original by removing debris and sediment in the bottom of the pipe throughout this segment. Other altematives would then be reviewed when this area came up again in the Street Rehabilitation Zone work. Much of the background data was already assembled into a computer program and for this analysis an updated surface water model was created. The attached report by the City of Columbia Heights consultant of Bonestroo describes the existing conditions and the map depicts the area reviewed for this analysis. For the area in question, the updated analysis identified that the existing level of service is between the 2 and 5-year storm event. Various storm sewer improvements were considered and a summary of those is as follows: 1. Maulpulafion of the Outlet control of Labelle Pond: Labetle Pond discharges through this system at a control stmctm'e in the parking lot off of 42nd Avelme. Shutting offthis outlet has no impact on flooding conditions downstream and is not recommended. 2. Replace the 48-inch Storm Sewer from MI-Ps 3-6: Replacing this pipe with a pipe material that has better hych'aulic characteristics would result in a 0.2 foot drop in the high water mark at the low point just east of MH 3. This is considered insign/ficant and is not recommended due to the cost, difficulty of access, and encroachment into the easement area in the rear yards. Long Radius Bends: The direction of flow in a gravity piping network is most commonly changed fln-ough a manhole. This also provides access for cleaning and inspection, but decreases the efficiency of the overall system by increasing the head loss. An alternative to this, but not common, is using long radins bends to tmu the flow dkection in pipe. This provides an approximate 0.4 foot drop in the high water mark at the low point just east of MH 3. Rerouting Pipe on 43-1/2 Avenue: This option looks at placing a new 48-inch pipe in 43-1/2 from MH 7 and routing the upstream drainage west to Tyler Place and north on Tyler Place to the existing MH 3. This actually did not result in any change in the conditions at the low point east ofMH 3 dne to pipe backflow in the system. Property Acquisition and Creation of a Pond: This scenario would remove the properties that flood and the creation of an overflbw area br pond to accmrauodate the backflow fi'om the piping system. A total of 4-7 properties would need to be removed in thig area.

COUNCIL ACTION: P. 33 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 2/9/04 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA ITEM: APPROVE REMOVAL OF LANE STRIPING IN FRONT OF 1605 37TM AVENUE ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS BY: K. Hanse~ DATE: 2/4/04~_/ CITY MANAGER DATE: Background 37~h Avenue is the municipal boundary for the cities of Coltunbia Heights and Minneapolis. The existing roadway is wide enough to accommodate fora' lanes of traffic (with no shoulder) or two lanes and parking lanes on each side. Several years ago, Mim~eapolis striped the south half for a parking lane, providing a single east bound lane. In the fall of 2002, the City of Colmnbia Heights added new striping to create a parlcing lane on the north side of37~ Avenue from Hart Boulevard to Tyler Street. Prior to that, the north side was designated as "no parking" for many years, and used as a travel lane. Earlier this past summer a Columbia Heights Police Officer observed a traffic movement conflict on westbound 37th Avenue at the intersection of Johnson Street. The conflict was caused by westbound left-turning traffic blocking thru-traffic. Vehicles choosing to continue westbound would use the parking lane as a bypass tl~'ough the intersection. Engineering staff concurred and a taper was added to the westbound lane on 37~ Avenue at Johnson Street to provide two lanes of traffic at the light, providing a designated by-pass lane. A consequence oft/tis channel/zation elin]Lnated the parking in front of 1605 37th Avenue. It should be noted that the taper as striped cannot be safely moved or made shorter (toward the intersection). Analysis/Conclusions At the Traffic Commission of November 3, 2004, the resident at 1605 37th Avenue requested that the parking in front of his house be reinstated. Staff recommended the striping and parking restrictions remain in place as modified for safety reasons. Traffic Colrarfission members reviewed the intersection and felt the by-pass lane was not needed with the amount of traffic and the turning movements. Police Chief Johnson requested a sign be installed stating "No driving on shoulder" so that all traffic would need to go straight or tarn from the driving lane, not the parking lane, if the right lane was to be removed. Recommended Motion: Move to remove the striping in front of 1605 37th Avenue to eliminate the traffic lane and install "No Driving On Shoulder" sign based on a recommendation of the Traffic Commission.

Hansen 44 gg~ BY: FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR ZONE 6 STREET SEAL DATE: 2/3/04 DATE: COATING AND ORDERING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING Note: Please bring Feasibility Report distributed at the 2/2/04 Work Session. Background: Staffhas developed prelim/nary plans and prepared a Feasibility Report for Zone 6 of the Seal Coat Program. The Zone 6 area is bounded by Central Avenue on the east, 40th Avenue on the south, University Avenue Service Drive on the west and 44th Avenue on the north. Zone 6 streets not included in the recent rehabilitation program will be seal coated, except University Avenue Service Drive. Also included in the program is 45m Avenue from University Avenue Service Drive to 5th Street. Analysis/Conclusions: The seal coat program helps preserve and maintain existing bituminous streets in good driving condition. Particular issues are summarized below: 1. Assessment Methodology: The Seal Coating project will be assessed on a Street and Avenue parcel basis. Avenue assessments are 1/3 of the street rate extending ½ block in either direction of the Avenue. Tltis assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of their property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue. The estimated unit cost assessment is $ 207.00 per Street parcel and $ 69.00 per Avenue parcel. 2. Financing: The estimated construction cost is $132,480. Seal coating is 100% assessed. 3. Meeting dates: Staffis recommending the public improvement hearing be scheduled before the hearing for Zone 7A, on March 9, 2004. By agreement previously approved by City Council, the bidding process will be handled by the City of Coon Rapids as part of a seven (7) City JPA for various street maintenance activities. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2004-06, there being ample copies available for the public. Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2004-06 being a Resolution calling for an Improvement Hearing for Zone 6 Street Seal Coating, City Project 0302, on March 9, 2004. ra-~..jb Attachment: Resolution Feasibility Report COUNCIL ACTION: P. 35 RESOLUTION NO. 2004-06 BEING A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR ZONE 6 SEAL COATING WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted a Street Rehab/litation Program Milch divides the City into seven zones, and WltEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 2003-53, a report has been prepared by the Dkector of Public Works with reference to the Zone 6 area of the Street Rehabilitation Program, and V/ItEREAS, Zone 6 of the Seal Coat Program is bounded by Central Avenue on the east, 40th Avenue on the south, University Avenue Service Drive on the west, 44t~ Avenue on the north and 45a~ Avenue from University Avenue Service Drive to 5th Street, and WHEREAS, the report provides information regarding whether the proposed project is feasible, necessary and cost effective, and Said report is hereby received by the City Council of Columbia Heights on February 9, 2004.

Hansen~ DATE: 2/3/0~ CITY MANAGER DATE: NOTE: Please bring Feasibility Report distributed at the 2/2/04 Work Session. Background: Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared the Feasibility Report for Zone 7A of the Annual Street Rehabilitation Program. The Zone 7 area is botmded by California Street to University Avenue, from 37th Avenue to 45~ Avenue and University Avenue Service Road to Central Avenue from 37th Avenue to 40th Avenue. Council amended this area in JanumT of 2004 to Zones 7A and 7B. Zone 7A is bounded by Central Avemte on the east, 37th Avenue on the south, University Avenue Service Road on the west, and 40th Avenue on the north and 7th Street, from 40a~ Avenue to 42nd Avenue. Analysis/Conclusions: Attached is the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work for Street Rehabilitation in Zone 7A. Particular issues are summarized below: 1. Rehabilitation Strategies: Three treatment strategies are utilized in the street rehabilitation program: mill and overlay, partial reconstruction, and full reconstruction. In Zone 7A, full reconstruction is proposed for each street. A fourth strategy, seal coating, is addressed under separate engineering reports when seal coating work is proposed. Staff utilizes three methods in evaluating the condition of the street and determining appropriate treatment: Present physical structure (cross-section): Each street within Zone 7A has been excavated down to their sub-base material and the individual street segment cross-sections are catalogued. Non-destructive strength determination and condition rating: Bram~ Intertec, a geo-teclmical engineering consultant, conducted tests on all streets at 50-foot intervals with a dropping weight deflection test. From this, the strength of the road segment is determined. Braun also develops their own pavement conditions index. Overall Condition Index (OCI): Staff also reviews each street segrnent by measuring the type and quantity of each type of cracking in the pavement. This information along w/th other factors such as drainage and physical structure is used to determine an "overall condition index". The results are then used to determi_ne the appropriate treatment to maximize the life of the street. 2. Utilities Replacement: Utilities have been reviewed in Zone 7A and the attached map represents where staffis reconm~ending replacement. Staff utilized televising, histo~2~ of water main breaks, age of water main and services, leakage testing (independent testing), and previous engineering reports in determining utility replacements. Many of the water mains were installed in the early 1900's in this area and are tmlined wh/ch contributes to water quality problems.

Hansen DATE: 2/3/04 CITY MANAGER BY: DATE: Continued - Page 2 3. Assessment Methodology: Street Rehabilitation Zones 1, 2 and 3 all followed the existing assessment policies for each area. Under the 1999 Alley Construction Program and in Zones 4, 5, 6A and 6B, a "unit" assessment methodology was employed rather than using a "front foot" rate basis. The area of Columbia Heights west of Central Avenue is essentially a block type development pattern with streets and avenues. The existing assessment policy for this area would involve "street" assessments and "avenue" assessments. The "street" frontage (typical front of property or where driveway access is) would pay a particular rate for the full frontage for that type of treatment (mill & overlay or full reconstruction, for example) used on that street. That same parcel would pay a reduced rate for the avenue for the full frontage. I am a proponent of uait basis assessment methodology in reconstruction areas as it has been my experience that the court system has accepted this rationale from an appeal basis. Going to a unit basis methodology would still create different rates for street and avenue dependent upon the type of treatment the adjacent avenues receive. 4. Scope of Work: At the January 20th, 2004 work session, staff discussed amending the Zone 7 area. Staff proposed breaking the Zone into two areas, with the construction completed in successive years (2004 & 2005). The cun'ent policy provides a 50/50 cost share for full reconstruction streets. Construction on 7th Street from 40a' Avenue to 42na Avenue is also included. This construction was delayed from 2003 to 2004 for financial considerations. 5. Financing: Street Rehabilitation Zone 7A: The estimated construction costs are as follows: 1. Full street reconstruction: 2. Utilities: $1,341,300. $** Project funding is proposed as follows: Assessments $ 785,400. lnfrastmctm'e Fund: $ 555,900. San/tary Sewer Fund: $ ** Water Construction Fund: $ ** Storm Sewer Fund $ ** The costs and associated fm~ding for utility work (**) will be fm-ther developed dar'ing the final design.

Hansen DATE: 2/3/04 CITY MANAGER BY: DATE: Continued - Page 3 6. Past Assessments: Zone 7A does not have areas that have had improvements assessed in the last 10 years. 7. Concurrent Projects: None. 8. Utility Issues: Staffhas evaluated both the sanitary sewer system and the storm sewer system for maintenance needs or improvements. The sanitary sewer main system has been cleaned and televised by staff and the reports indicate that overall the condition of the piping is acceptable with minor corrective recommendations by staff. At some locations, the private sanitary sewer service pipe has settled away from the connection to the sanitary sewer main. (This connection is commonly referred to as a "wye".) Staffis estimating approx/mately 20 service connections will need to be replaced. In accordance with the City ordinance this is owned by the homeowner and will be assessed similar to the water service. The report does provide deficiencies several catch basins in Zone 7A. Staffis recommending replacement of stmctnres due to deteriorated block or brick construction. Storm sewer construction is proposed to help alleviate the flooding on Van Buren Street properties. A relief line will be extended to Huset Park from this with matching grant fimding coming from the DNR. Staffhas also conducted an age survey o£water service lines in areas where the water main will be replaced and recommends that sub-standard water service lines be replaced and assessed to the benefiting properties for the actual construction cost. 9.
