FEASIBILITY REPORT
Background:
City staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an engineering report to address the parkway and infrastructure needs
through the industrial area of the City, consistent with the Industrial Area Redevelopment Plan accepted by the Council in 2003.
The engineering report will examine the development of a new road and review the adequacy of the existing infrastructure from
37th Avenue through the Industrial Area along 39th Avenue to Jefferson Street, and north to 40th Avenue. Staff prepared and sent
out copies of the RFP to four firms, a copy of which is attached. Three proposals were submitted meeting the requirements stated
in the RFP. One firm, TKDA, indicated they would not be submitting a proposal.
Analysis/Co n cIusio ns:
The purpose of this project is to provide the City of Columbia Heights with a comprehensive engineering report detailing the
feasibility of constructing a parkway along Jefferson Street NE from 40th Avenue NE to 39th Avenue NE, then continuing west
along 39th Avenue NE to 5th Street NE and then continuing along an abandoned railroad right-of-way and connecting into 37th
Avenue NE. The work shall also include a review of the adequacy of the utility system in this area for existing and future
development conditions. Also included is a traffic study to review potential traffic impacts of redevelopment and intersection
layouts in the industrial area. The existing roadway is a Municipal State Aid route and the funding scheme contemplates that a
portion of the improvements will be assessed in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429.
The primary study elements are detailed on pages 2 & 3 of the RFP and consist generally of the following:
. Data Collection.
. Review Existing Conditions.
. Establish Parkway Layout & Urban Design.
. Determine Ponding Requirements.
. Conduct Sanitary Sewer and Water Main capacity analysis.
. Conduct a Traffic Study and evaluation of impacts.
. Provide a Cost Estimate and Funding plan
. Provide a detailed Feasibility Report
. Optional Work Tasks (A, B, & C)
Staff has reviewed each of the proposals and prepared a ranking grid based upon the criteria given in the RFP. On this basis, City
staff is recommending the firm of Short Elliot Hendrickson (SEH) to complete the engineering report. We feel that SEH had the
best understanding and approach to the feasibility report, has an excellent scope, detail and program proposed, has a very good
experience history in the completion of similar projects in the Metro Area, and submitted the best overall proposal that addressed
the requirements of the RFP. SEH also performed and completed the City's utility modeling for the K-Mart Redevelopment. The
estimated cost from each Engineer is shown on the ranking sheet. The attached table illustrates the estimated hours by each
consultant and what the corresponding average hourly rate would be.
Funding for the Industrial Area Feasibility Report is proposed to be from a $50,000 Pre-Development Grant from Met Council
obtained by the City of Columbia Heights in 2003.

Staff also requested proposals on additional work tasks described as:
A. Preliminary Project Surveying
B. Assist in ROW Acquisition
C. ROW Mapping for State-Aid requirements
Each one of these work tasks would have to be completed under the preliminary and/or final design phase. Staff believes it is
appropriate to begin these tasks related to land acquisition and Right-of-Way at this time due to the fact these are work tasks that
often can delay a project, particularly considering the project will have to meet State-Aid requirements and processes for
acquisition and ROW mapping. For comparison, ROW acquisition and mapping contributed to a one-year delay in the Central
Avenue project.
Recommended Motion: Move to accept the proposal from SEH for the Industrial Area Parkway and Infrastructure Feasibility
Study based upon their proposal dated February 12, 2004, and accepting optional work tasks A, B & C, in an amount not-to-exceed
$55,600; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Columbia Heights is a northern, first ring suburb of Minneapolis. The City is fully
developed in an area of approximately 3.4 square miles with a population of 18,699. The majority of
the City contains single-family homes, comprising approximately 5,135 parcels, or 64 percent of the
total 7,975 parcels. Most of Columbia Heights is rolling to hilly terrain with several small lakes and
ponds. The City was mainly developed in the period from 1940 until 1970. Commercial
development is concentrated along Central and University Avenues with industrial development
concentrated along and south of 39th Avenue, between Central and University Avenues. Over the past
15 years, the City of Columbia Heights has conducted a number of planning studies that address the
Columbia Heights Industrial Park. Despite these planning efforts, the Industrial Park of today is
essentially the same as it was in 1988. The buildings in this area have deteriorated, become vacant,
and most have become both physically and economically obsolete. In 2003, The Columbia Heights
Industrial Area Redevelopment Plan was completed and is intended to be a catalyst for change in the
area. The highest and best use proposed for the majority of the plan consists of high density, for-sale
housing. The City of Columbia Heights is requesting proposals to provide professional services
required for the preparation of a feasibility report for the development of a parkway and infrastructure
from 3ih Avenue through the Industrial Park of the City to Jefferson Street and 39th Avenue and
extending north through Huset Park connecting at 40th Avenue.
II. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Interested firms should submit their proposal no later than 3:30 P.M. on February 12th, 2004 to the
Director of Public Works, 637 38th Ave. N.E., Columbia Heights, MN 55421.
In submitting a proposal to provide the required services, the following is required in order to
expedite the review process by the representatives of the City.
1. The length of the proposal should not exceed five (5) pages, excluding figures, resumes of

Dear Mr. Hansen:
Thank you for inviting SEH to present our proposal for providing professional services to the City of
Columbia Heights for this very exciting project. The enclosed proposal presents the benefits SEH brings
in terms of resources, technical expertise and proven experience. By recommending SEH, the City can be
confident that the project will continue to move toward implementation and a successful conclusion.
The City of Columbia Heights will benefit from the SEH approach through:
. Complete Project Resources. SEH is in a position to optimize the study for the city, because we
have the internal resources to fill all key design staff required by the project. Being a multi-
disciplined firm, we have the ability to facilitate the needs and concerns of all of the affected
stakeholders, developers, agencies and other consultants that are involved with the project.
. Comprehensive Approach. From our wealth of past experience with similar projects, we understand
the key elements of a neighborhood: safe and reliable city services such as water and sewer, safe
access for cars, public safety and pedestrians, the need to create a renewed sense of community for
the residents, both new and existing. All of these components must be considered and integrated to
develop final recommendations and costs that the City can use to move from planning into reality.
. Implementation Oriented. Our team is committed to delivering a study that establishes practical and
economical approaches to designs that can be implemented. Our cost estimates will be grounded with
experience in knowing what it takes to build infrastructure, as well as having a sound approach to
funding.
We have a demonstrated history of helping other cities with similar projects. Xenia Avenue in Golden
Valley won the 2000 City Engineer's Project of the Year Award. Rice Creek Corporate Park won the City
of Shoreview a Consulting Engineers Grand Award in the same year. Both projects were all about the
things that make a neighborhood a great place to live.
We look forward to your favorable consideration of this proposal and the opportunity to work with the
City, its staff and citizens. Please feel free to contact lIIe at 6S 1-490-2018 if I can be of further assistance.

Columbia Heights Parkway
Project Approach
I ntrod uction
The City of Columbia Heights, population 19,000, is comprised mostly of young families and seniors. It is a
first ring suburb located just north of the St. Paul/Minneapolis metro area. Columbia Heights believes in a
strong sense of community and prides itself on being a desirable place to live and work. The City of Columbia
Heights believes one way to achieve and maintain this goal is to implement redevelopment of the City's
industrial area as noted in the City's 1999 Comprehensive Plan and in the recently completed Industrial Area
Redevelopment Plan. Huset Park, the largest and most popular of the City's 14 parks, is currently undergoing
the Master Plan Process. Columbia Heights Parkway will be the backbone that ties Huset Park, the
redevelopment - Housing Phase 1 Development and any other new housing and industrial uses into an area
that will evolve and become a strong interactive neighborhood. This Feasibility Study will provide the last
piece of the puzzle; review of the infrastructure, roadway design, surface water ponds, urban design, cost
estimates and funding possibilities. The City of Columbia Heights will benefit from the SEH approach
because:
SEH's complete project resources will provide the all of the key design staff so that the study elements are
optimized.
Our comprehensive approach will fully integrate all of the study elements to deliver a study that will
provide successful solutions for all of the project goals.
The implementation oriented mind set of the team will establish practical and economical designs that can
be implemented and produce a project the City can be proud of.
The following is a description of our approach to key project elements. Please see the graphic illustrating
project issues/concerns in the Appendix. Please also refer to the appendix for SEH project team information.
A task by task work plan detail can also be found in the appendix.
Communication
Good communication is the foundation for the success for a project. Keeping stakeholders informed with the
progress of the study and involving them with well-timed meetings is important to making critical decisions
and keeping the project on schedule. SEH will work with City staff to develop a meeting schedule that will
communicate with the appropriate project partners in a timely manner. Examples of the information we will
need to communicate with City staff and other consultants include surface water information, planning
process needs etc. The City may want to consider meeting with MN/DOT state aid and right of way staff to
introduce the project and get advice as to project requirements and funding. Other agencies and stakeholders,
such as private utilities and metro transit should also be contacted. These coordination efforts will be designed
to provide a means to fully scope and document design development needs. As an example, we usually
recommend a meeting with permitting agencies so that the needs and timing can be documented in the report
and scheduled in the overall project.
Columbia Heights Parkway Considerations
The initial focus of the project will be to determine the layout of the street system in the study area. The
design team will consider safety, traffic operations, landscaping and traffic calming considerations in the
preliminary design of the parkway. We will integrate the neighborhood, park, access, development and
mobility needs together to provide concept alternates for the key intersection modifications changes at 5th
Street and 39th Avenue, 39th Avenue and Jefferson Street and both the proposed and existing intersections
along 37th Avenue.
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.

Columbia Heights Parkway, cont.
The preliminary design of the alignment and street system is a critical step, establishing the "backbone" of the
project. Even though this proposal is addressing the study phase of the project, obtaining state aid variances
and right of way are time consuming elements that need to be identified as early as possible and worked into
the over all schedule to prevent delay. If the horizontal and vertical designs do of the proposed parkway do
not meet State Aid design rules, the Mn/DOT variance process will need to be scheduled. Identifying right of
way needs and acquisition of right of way is also a critical step in the schedule of the project, because State
Aid approval of plans is contingent upon having proof of ownership.
Urban Design
The Urban Design element of this project provides an opportunity to enhance a critical corridor that links a
new neighborhood with their park and serve as the gateway to the redevelopment area. This parkway
"backbone" will include carefully designed relationships between structures, roadway, trail, landscaping, land
uses and other elements to create a unifying theme, expand greenspace, calm traffic and support pedestrian
and bicycle travel. These design relationships will support a sense of continuity and human scale, contribute
to protecting and improving the value of surrounding properties, and improve the quality of life.
Drainage
Another key element in determining project feasibility is the size and location of the storm water pond(s). The
feasibility study will provide preliminary storm sewer design for the street system that will be conveyed to the
pond. We have assumed that the City will forward the hydrologic and hydraulic requirements for the pond(s)
and we will add the details for the pipe design.
SEH's water resource engineers work closely with our landscape architecture staff and scientists to promote
ponds as amenities that can provide additional benefit if natural buffers are developed around them that will
protect slopes, invite wildlife and provide a filter for surface runoff.
Sanitary Sewer and Water System Analysis
The changes proposed for the Industrial Area Redevelopment neighborhood may impact the sanitary sewer
and water distribution infrastructure. The public utility systems serving the redevelopment area will need to
reviewed for capacity, condition and service locations. Please see the exhibits prepared for this proposal that
illustrate the existing utility systems.
Sanitary Sewer System
Using existing flow data collected by monitoring in selected locations, design parameters will be reviewed.
Based on experience at the Kmart site, we also propose that the existing system inverts be verified so that the
flows can be calculated based on actual information. The actual field information will help guard against false
assumptions and avoid surprises later on. Land use data, existing and proposed for all parcels will be used to
check the system's capacity to handle the discharges. Recommendations for capacity improvements will be

locations are shown on the sanitary sewer exhibit in this proposal and included in our fee as an option.
We understand that the existing system consists of pipe diameters ranging from S-inch to IS-inch and is fairly
old. The sewer system has been televised. We have assumed that City staff will review the tapes and identify
structural deficiencies. We will work with staff to prepare repairlreplacement recommendations and costs. It
is also a good idea to review the manholes for repair needs, so the cost can be budgeted for. The condition of
the existing manholes should be surveyed, either as part of the study or prior to final design. For the purpose
of this proposal, we have not included the manhole condition survey as part of our scope of work.

Columbia Heights Parkway, cant.
Water Distribution System
As part of the Water Distribution Analysis prepared by Progressive Consulting Engineers in October 1999, a
computer model of the Columbia Heights water distribution system was created This model will be used as
the basis for evaluating needs of the redevelopment area. The PCE report indicates water pressures range from
60 to 70 psi with available fire flows in excess of 3,000 gpm in the proposed redeveloped area.
The model will be updated with the most recent average daily demand, maximum day demand and peak hour
demand (estimated) to determine fluctuation of pressure in the area. In addition, water main improvements
made to the system since 1999 will be incorporated in the water model.
A comparison of historical water demand to projected demand will be performed for the proposed
development. Any changes in demand will be analyzed with the computer model to determine the affect, if
any to pressures and available fire flows.
It is understood that there are many water mains in Columbia Heights that are constructed of unlined cast iron
which may contribute to water quality and/or reduced available fire flow. As part of the water system
analysis, SEH staff will review the material type and age of water mains located along the parkway alignment.
If old cast iron water mains are located along the proposed alignment, they may provide an excellent
opportunity for the City to replace them during construction. An optional task is included to perform fire
flow/friction factor testing of these water mains to better determine their condition.
Traffic Study
The proposed redevelopment of the industrial area and construction of a new parkway will impact the
roadway system in the area, and a traffic study will be conducted to evaluate these impacts. It appears that
there are six key intersections that will be affected by the proposed redevelopment and should be included in
the traffic study. These intersections are:
. Jefferson Street and 40th Avenue
. Jefferson Street and 39th Avenue
. 39tl1 Avenue and 5th Street
. 37th Avenue and 5th Street
. University A venue/East Service Road and 40th
A venue
. University A venue/East Service Road and 37th
A venue
Peak hour traffic counts for these intersections will be conducted; trip generation for the proposed
redevelopment will be estimated (using trip rates from ITE's Trip Generation) and distributed to the roadway
system; traffic forecasts will be developed for future conditions (We suggest using 20-year forecasts, since
State Aid requires 20-year forecasts for roadway design.); traffic operations analyses for existing and future
conditions will be performed (using Synchro computer software); and traffic impacts and recommended
traffic improvements will be identified.
We have examined the 2001 MSAS traffic volumes for the area, and we estimate that the proposed
redevelopment will generate an average daily traffic in the range of 3,000 trips/day. Columbia Heights is
essentially built out, so that future traffic increases in the area will probably be minimal. From this data, it
appears unlikely that the traffic study will result in recommendations for major traffic improvements, such as
upgrading 2-lane roadways to 4-lane roadways or changing the lane configuration or traffic control at existing
intersections. Instead, the primary focus of the traffic study will be to document the feasibility of eliminating
the service road east of University A venue, to document the traffic diversions that may result from
disconnecting 5th Street from the new parkway, to detennine the best way to reconfigure the new
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.

Columbia Heights Parkway, cant.
parkway/Jefferson Street/39th Avenue intersection, and to determine the optimal intersection spacing for the
new parkway connection to 37th Avenue between University Avenue and 5th Street.
Subsurlace Conditions
SEH's geotechnical engineers will design a soil boring program to determine the engineering properties of the
subsurface materials, such as R-value for designing the structural street section. For the purpose of the
proposal, we have not included any environmental borings. Soil borings will be accomplished by American
Engineering Testing of St. Paul, MN. Geotechnical evaluation, analysis and design will be completed by SEH
geotechnical staff members.
SEH will coordinate the street and utility work with site clean up. We expect to work with ProSource in
determining the need, number of borings, sampling, etc., required for additional borings and then proceed
with a second phase if required. The redevelopment area is highly contaminated which leads us to believe that
any excavations for street and utility work will also require a budget for handling and testing the contaminated
material. The design will be approached with this in mind, We expect to proceed with a design that limits the
depths and amount of excavations to the extent possible. SEH has environmental waste management
personnel that are experienced in working with contaminated conditions and will be available to coach and
advise the project team.
Costs and Funding
The viability of the project will depend on a number of economic factors. A good cost estimate of the project
components is a critical part in determining the feasibility of the project and the direction for funding. A
number of funding options were presented in the Industrial Area Redevelopment Plan. The City has already
received Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) grant funds and Metropolitan Council
funds. Some of the funding sources include State Aid funding, TIF financing and Special Assessments. Some
other potential sources may include MnlDOT cooperative agreement funding for work at the frontage road or
intersections with University Avenue (TH 47) and other EPA or State and Regional money. SEH will assist
the City in researching sources of funding and in assisting staff in defining strategies for funding the gap in
financing. We have included preparation of a mock assessment roll and exploration of various funding
scenarios in our work program.
Feasibility Report
A feasibility report will be prepared that documents the investigation, analysis, preliminary design, cost
opinions and funding scenarios for Columbia Heights Parkway and the redevelopment area. The draft report
will be reviewed by City staff and, comments will be discussed with SEH for modifications to the report. Ten
copies will be provided to the City for distribution and presented to the City Council.
Optional Work Tasks
Project Area Survey
We have included a cost for the project area survey as an optional task. We recommend utilizing low level
aerial mapping at a I "=50' with one foot contours. This aerial mapping would be able to be used for the entire
site, including work in the park and for redevelopment areas. We have assumed an area between 40th Avenue
and 37th Avenue and TH 47 to Jackson, this can be modified. SEH survey staff will provide ground control
and field surveys to tie down critical elevations at street connections and critical drainage facilities.

Columbia Heights Parkway, cont.
Right of Way Plat
We understand that the City will need to acquire additional right of way adjacent to the railroad property
already acquired for a portion of Columbia Heights Parkway. We propose to prepare a ROW plat. We have
assumed that others will provide the owner and encumbrance for the parcels and negotiate the purchase of
property.
Right of Way Plan
State Aid funds can be used for right of way acquisition if a right of way plan is submitted and approved. The
existing and proposed right of way, parcel information and property owner information is required for the
plan. Other information required includes plan, alignment and profile information of the roadway.
Project Schedule
The City of Columbia Heights desires to proceed with construction of the parkway and utility improvements
as soon as possible, but must complete the preliminary study phase first to provide the necessary scope and
costs prior to development of the design documents. Given the time parameters needed for the study, right of
way acquisition and final plan development it seems likely that the 2005 construction season would be
realistic. Our project approach is intended to provide a timely study report with the cost information for which
funding can be developed and pursued. The ultimate goal is to deliver new roadways and proper utility
connections that will meet the requirements of the first phase of development. Timely completion of the study
report may provide an opportunity to move ahead with some portions of the project that are be critical to
project implementation. We will want to further develop specific milestones once the project and the key
stakeholders and their needs are identified. Our proposed schedule for completion of the report is as follows:

Related Project Experience/References
The pages that follow include examples of SEH's relevant experience. Project photo data sheets, layout
examples, and public information process and plan sheet examples have been attached in this section to
illustrate our experience and the similarities to this project.
The three projects we have selected that best demonstrate SEH's recent experience to complete the requested
services and deliverables are as follows:
1. Xenia AvenuefTumer's Crossroad Reconstruction - City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
2. Rice Creek Corporate Park - City of Shoreview, Minnesota
3. France Avenue Relocation - City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota and Minnesota Department of
Transportation
Xenia Avenue/Turners Crossroads - Golden Valley, Minnesota
The need for this project was identified soon after 1-394
was constructed impacting traffic mobility and flow in
the City of golden Valley. Extending Xenia Avenue
partially along an abandoned railroad track was
identified as a important link in the supporting road
system. The project included preliminary, final and
construction services. An intensive public involvement
process was implemented including a citizen advisory
committee. The use of traffic calming techniques was
important in winning the public's consent.
surface water quality issues, and traffic issues.
Many of the elements encountered in this project are
related to the supporting road segments on the
Columbia Heights Parkway, such as realignment, right-
of-way acquisition, change in accesses to properties,
Reference: Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works, City of Golden Valley, 7800 Golden Valley Road,
Golden Valley, Minnesota, 55427-4588, 763.593.8035
Rice Creek ParkwayIPark View Drive - City of Shoreview, Minnesota
Rice Creek Corporate Park is a 230-acre mixed-use
development site in northwest Shoreview developed by
Wizpark Corporation. It was one of the last large parcels
of developable land left in the City of Shoreview.
The project involved 21 interested parties and
consultants and 10 regulatory and review agencies.
Development of the site hinged upon a number of
interrelated elements and required a collaborative effort
to create a final project that would be consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.
Appendix, cant.
SEH's role was to represent the City in coordination and review of the overall development and to design and
related site infrastructure. SEH reviewed and advised the City on the EIS document and site plans, prepared
traffic forecasting for the site and related neighboring roadways, investigated and advanced the property
purchases and conversions, investigated and identified impacts and alternates for construction of the
north/south road as it transverses the wetland, gained agency approvals, and eventually, prepared bidding
documents and provided construction services for three construction contracts.
Many of the elements encountered on this project are related to Columbia Heights Parkway, such as design of
2.0 miles of State Aid roadway, streetscape design, utility and roadway construction, purchase of the
MnJDOT maintenance property and coordination with other project consultants, numerous agencies and close
collaboration with the planning and engineering staff of public works.
The City and SEH won the 2000 Consulting Engineers Council o.f Minnesota "Grand Award".
Reference: Mark Maloney, Director of Public Works, City of Shoreview, 4600 N. Victoria, Shoreview,
Minnesota 55126, 651.490.4600
Many of the elements encountered on this project are
related to Columbia Heights Parkway. Such as
realignment, right-of-way acquisition, contaminated
soils, ponding requirements, MnJDOT cooperation
agreement review, traffic study, coordination with other consultants and multiple agencies.
France Avenue Relocation - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
The need for the proposed alignment for France A venue
was determined after a series of public meetings
following a traffic study prepared by SEH. The new
roadway provides access to existing residential
neighborhoods that whose access was impacted by the
construction of TH 100. The new roadway also
provided opportunity of access by a superfund site(s)
undergoing redevelopment.
Preliminary design, final design and construction services for relocation of roadway on new alignment to
facilitate changes on TH 100 and the redevelopment of a super fund site project funded by MnJDOT
cooperative agreements. Project features right of way acquisition and permitting.

The
Final
Frontier
When The Village of Rice Creek
development in Shoreview is finished,
the city will be 100 percent

springing up, the new neighbors are
getting to know each other along the
area's extensive trails and sidewalks.
BY NANCY NGO
PIONEER PRESS
SPOTLIGHT: SHOREVIEW
The Village of Rice Cr.eek
. What: The new neighborhood in
Shoreview's largest and last major
development. east of interstate
35W between county roads I and J.
. Who: The neighborhood consists. '
mainly of empty.nesters and first.
time homeowners starting families.
. When: The first residents moved'
in this spring. Construction is con-
tinuing. with the rest of the resi.
dents expected to be in by next
April. The park will be completed in

NEALE VAN NESS/PIONEER PRESS
Bill and Barb Hassing stroll on a bridge across Rice Creek near their home In Shorevlew's latest, largest and last development.
Nearly 450 townhouses were completed this year.
While Shoreview's largest develop-
ment. The Village of Rice Creek,
will not be finished for several years, '
most of the 304 to,wnhouses planned for
the mixed-use development have been
completed. .
Since March, a growing number of
occupants has been settling into a,
fresh neighborhood, also known as
WISP ARK.
Residents and the development's real
estate agent describe the new,neighbor-
hood as a combination of empty-nesters
and first-time homeowners starting
families. In the past few months, the
residents have heen getting acquainted
through a neighborhood gathering as
well as through daily encounters along
the heavily traveled trails and side-
walks.
A monO" th~ nour nai(1hhnr~ h, lnnatimA
Shoreview resident and planning com-
mission chairman Bill Hassing and his
wife, Barb, who have gotten to know
their neighbors through their 9 a.m.
strolls along Rice Creek Trail.
The Hassings live along Prairie
Ridge Drive in one of 64 homes
planned to line the Rice Creek Trail
and preserved wetlands.
"Most of us are empty-nesters -
either retired or close to retirement,"
Hassing, a retired attorney, said of his
neighbors.
Because many of the residents do not
have children living in their hO,me, they
are looking out for each other.
"Most everyone around here either
has a cat or dog," said Barb Hassing.,
"We do cat-sitting and they do cat.sit.
ting for us. So tbat binds us."
NpiahhoN h<;irt tho ,..hlJnt"a tn maat
each other in August during a welcom-
ing party held at one resident's house.
Jim Wycbor, who moved to Shore-
view from Circle Pines, went out with
two neighbors and posted fliers about
the gathering.
He said tbe welcoming event, a.t
wbich 60 people sbowed up" was a
chance for residents to get to know
each other. Wychor said it was also a
time to recognize that the area was
starting to feel like a neighborhood.
He said months of living among
sand. filled yards had taken a turn for
the better. .
"We celebrated the advent of the
lawns," Wychor said.
Hassing and Wychor, former presi-
dent of the Minnesota Broadcast Asso.
ciation, are among several community
lo!:lno:r~ mhn Hv&a in tho noiahhnrhnnd '
Ramsey County Commissioner Tony
Bennett also moved into the neighbor-
hood.,
Jim McDonald, sales representative
for Rottlund Homes, said the housing
development is the fastest-selling prop-
erty he has dealt with in his 15 years
'working for the company. ,
, He said 23 one-level units remain to
be completed and sold, which h~
expects to happen by April. , ;
When the entire 228-acre develop,
ment of townhouses. an office park,
scenic areas, ball fields and retail
space are completed ,hi four to six
years, the city of Shoreview will be
100 percent developed.

system demand and locate the most feasible locations for future storage and
treatment facilities. In addition, the system was experiencing low pressure
problems in isolated areas of the City. The study identified the areas of
pressure problems and also identified that the eastern half of the City had
relatively low available fire flows. SEH identified future facility locations to
allow for growth, a trunk main looping plan to increase fire flows and
proposed a new larger and taller tower to provide for adequate storage and
pressures throughout the ultimate service area.
Distribution System Analysis - S1. Francis, Minnesota. SEH created and
calibrated a new model for the City. Projected future demands based on
ultimate service area boundary. The future model was analyzed to
recommend improvements to increase available fire flow and to resize water
main for the reconstruction of a state highway project. Improvements
included additional trunk water main and construction of a new water tower
with an overflow elevation 30 feet higher than the existing system.
Water Distribution System Analysis - New Prague, Minnesota. The City
authorized SEH to review the water system demands. The existing water
model was updated and expanded to include the ultimate service area. The
model was used to identify a location and size of a future water tower and
water treatment plant to provide proper operation of tower levels and
increase available fire flows in a future industrial park. Improvements
included a new water treatment plant, new tower, trunk water main
construction, and identifying future boosted pressure zones.
Water Model Upgrade and Analysis - Burnsville, Minnesota. The City
authorized SEH to update their existing water distribution system model to
include an extended period simulation scenario. SEH also analyzed several

interconnection scenarios, to determine negative impacts upon the Bumsville
system, if the City were to provide an interconnection to the City of Savage.
Water Model Upgrade and Analysis - Hudson, Wisconsin. The City
authorized SEH to update their existing water distribution system model to
add the downtown portion of the City as well as the City of North Hudson,
Wisconsin. Used the model to size water main for expansion areas and to
determine proper pressure zone boundary and pressure reducing valve
location and setting.
Well Location Study - Rogers, Minnesota. SEH was asked to update the
cities existing water distribution model to help optimize the location for a
new well house. The model looked at optimum location to provide proper
balancing of the existing towers.
Water Distribution System Analysis - Sauk Rapids, Minnesota. Assisted
in the layout and planning for future system expansion to the north and east
of the existing City. Analysis included ultimate demand projection for
selected growth boundaries. Located future tower sites, sized expansion trunk
water main, recommended modifications to existing pressure zone
boundaries and recommended changes to existing trunk main water sizes to
accommodate construction of a centralized 2,200-gpm water treatment plant.
Water Model Upgrade and Analysis - St. Cloud, Minnesota. SEH
updated the City's past water distribution model to include all City-owned
pipes four inches and larger. Used the updated model to plan for system
expansion area outlined in the St. Cloud Joint Planning District Plan, which
tripled the existing service area. Projected demands for expansion area based
on proposed land usage. Sized future trunk water main, laid out boosted
pressure zone system boundary and calculated booster station capacity and
required storage. Recommended future storage locations and sizing changes
to existing trunk water main.
Experience prior to joining SEH:
Water Distribution System Analysis - Columbia Heights, Minnesota. A
water distribution system model was created for the City to determine how to
improve system pressure, fire flows, and quality. System improvements
recommended included installation of new trunk main, water main
replacement, optimization of pressure reducing valve settings and an
interconnection with the City of Hilltop.
Interconnection Study - Columbia Heights, Minnesota. The existing City
model was upgraded to determine the impacts of an interconnection to the
City of Hilltop. The analysis showed an increase in frreflows to both systems
and a reduction in residence times in the Columbia Heights system. The
interconnection would also cause savings for the City of Hilltop through
elimination of pumping and tower maintenance costs.
