PROJECT SUMMARY:
85TH ST (PARRISH AVE TO PAGE AVE)
(SEE ATTACHMENT EXHIBIT B)
C. 1994 Projects:
Quaday (42 to 72ND) It can be two projects (This is a fairly simple project, except for Big
Eds hill)
Mr Koshak explained the MN/DOT/County/ Darkenwald meeting Monday morning at
Otsego City Hall, Larry explained the request for a driveway on #37 for Darkenwalds.
John Darkenwald was told this wasn't an option. The easement was signed. The gas line
for Northern Natural Gas is the big problem. The state was going to pay for relocating
the line when we had the Quale ave proj. The cost to relocate the gasline was $90,000.00
last time we checked. We are investigating the possibility of the State paying for some of
this. We will set up a meeting w/the gas Co and MN/DOT. BIG ED wants to mine his
property (corner hill), It also restricts Lavendure's property. The Gas Co prefers to be
out of the right of way. We also discussed that we could possibly amend Darkewalds
Mining Permit. If he comes in with a plan to mine this we can discuss the road issues.
More discussion on mining and elevation of Big Eds land was had. The contractor is
looking to bid on the 101 projects. If he doesn't get them he wouldn't mine Big Eds. The
State is buying Werner's out and changed the alignment somewhat of the 101 Service
Drive.
LARRY KOSHAK WENT OVER POSSIBLE MSA ROAD PROJECTS FOR 1994:
2. QUADAY - NORTH (SERVICE DRIVE):
There should be an assessent on that if it is built.
3. 85TH ST PROJECTS (PARRISH - PAGE )
4. 85TH (NASHUA AVE TO 83RD ST) (85 Nashua Ave to 83RD St.)
5. PAGE AVENUE NE (39 TO 85TH)
These are the possibilities.
6, 96TH ST was discussed (Mississippi Shores) You can't put in sidewalks and lights
until it has been overlaid said Larry Koshak.
Mr Koshak recommended Quaday as the road to build in 1994 with MSA Funds.
If we don't use the money this year there would be penalties if we didn't build a MSA
street.
$390,000,00 is the approximate price for Quaday. We have $217,000.00 in 1994 and
$210,000.00 for 1995 if we borrowed from it. He recommended assessments by the City,
You can bond and encumber the MSA future funds,
CITY OF OTSEGO SPECIAL WORKSHOP MEETING OF MARCH 23, 1994 AT
7:30PM - PAGE 3 -
Storm sewer was discussed
VFW was discussed
Councilmember Black said he would like to see Quaday built in 1994, because of the 101
widening coming up. Quaday would cost $200,000.00 up to the Big Ed's property.
Larry Koshak suggested a Feasibility Study be recommended, Hold a Hearing, and
The South end can be built in 1995.
A Feasibility Study should be ordered in April or May. The Council agreed that the
Quaday Ave Project would be the 1994 MSA Road Project.
We might want to consider the Service Drive on North Quaday where the Elk River Bank
is being considered,
3, BITUMINOUS OVERLAY PROJECT - 80TH ST TO 85TH ST AND 85TH ST
(KADLER AVE TO CITY LIMITS).
Larry Koshak showed an overhead with the costs on the above with the estimated costs
of the project. (See attached sheet, Letter from August 6, 1992 Hakanson Anderson -
EXHIBIT D ). There are frost boils and cracks in the road. Drainage is a problem. The
overlay will only last 10 years said Mr Koshak, A leveler course will be put in some of the
areas. He assumes there will be no assessment on this project. Council agreed it is a bad
road and needs to be fixed, (Overlaid). This has to be advertised in the Construction
Bulletin. They have already done borings, etc, Larry Koshak suggested that a Document
be prepared, and it be sent out for bids. A decision about pipe needs to be made. Will
public works do it? ( The large one will be bid out). Their will not be much shouldering
because of 22'. The Public Works can do shouldering. A Resolution ordering plans and
specs will be needed for this.
4, STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN:
A. Aerial topography and contour proposal by Markhurd.
A review of costs was shown on the overhead projector. Mr Harwood gave a
presentation. He showed a 1991 overall surface water planning: $169,000.00 is the cost
for the entire City. (some of that has been done gradually). Wetlands, creek study.
He had a topo map, 2 foot countour which is the base map for Markhurd. Urban Service
area the cost quotation is $22,000.00. Field control is in addition to that cost of
$8,000.00. We need this to do a good job with the storm water drainage system. He
showed a map with the drainage -ways shown. He showed a concept plan identifying pipe
sizing, storage requirements and identify sizing and continuous system of pipes and ponds,
etc.
January 1, 1997 is the deadline to have an approved surface water management plan in
place. We need to answer developers questions, how much pipe, etc.
CITY OF OTSEGO SPECIAL WORKSHOP MEETING OF MARCH 23, 1994 AT
7:30PM - PAGE 4 -
RECOMMENDATION IS TO:
1. Pursue the Topo mapping
2. Pursue the surface water management plan
Andover charges $10.00 an acre for their topo mapping for a developer. Markhurd costs
is $6 or $7 an acre. You do recover the cost to the land not yet developed. For $10 to $15
you can submit a decent plan over the topo map. Price is $50,000.00.
If the budget is there to do all the mapping it would be beneficial.
Councilmember Lindenfelser asked if we could use the $80,000.00 for MSA Maint,
Money to pay for the topo mapping. Councilmember Black felt we should do the
Urban Area only. The mapping is only $4.75 an acre said Mr Koshak. They discussed
what areas would be mapped . Larry Kosahk will bring to the meeting Monday night, a
couple of different options. Council should order both mapping and Storm Water plan. It
will be Fall before the study is done.
C. REMAINING ELEMENTS OF MANAGEMENT PLAN.
Larry Koshak explained what we need to do is overlay maps for the City. Wetlands need
to be inventoried. Soils and Waters has some of the maps/DNR has some/Nationally,
there are some.
The next set of developments that occur you should be prepared to have that informaton.
That follows the Topo Mapping. We need a full spectrum of what is needed. 5 - Year
Plan. By 1997 a surface water Mgm plan needs to be submitted to the County.
5, DISCUSSION ON WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN:
Councilmember Fournier asked if we should check with Kincannon on an offer of land for
a water tower. Larry Koshak felt that was a good idea. There is plenty of water in the
Hinkley Aquafur. Larry Koshak will talk to the School about the well for their property.
Discussion of water tower for the City and Well was had. The Council felt Elk River
Wastewater Treatment sharing seems to be impossible as they They need their extra
capacity. 101 corridor is prime land and we need to do something with sewer for that.
Darkenwalds was discussed. Elk River is designing a system now. We need to look at
what we want to do. 101 West to 42 should be looked at to be served by a centralized
Sewer System and Water for that area to be intensely developed into a tax base said
Councilmember Black. Larry Koshak felt it would be important to form a Committee to
identify the property that could be the Sewer district Area, and identify what the needs
are. More discussion was had.
6 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS:
The design for Warner's property service rd on 101 was looked at and the Council agreed
with Mn/DOT's plan of 3/21/94.

COUNTRY RIDGE:
The developer let the Letter Of Credit expire and didn't renew it. Larry Koshak talked to
Steve Scharber. He is trying to get out of the Developers agreement, said Koshak.
The concensus is that the Council would not meet with the developers, but the
Professionals who have been working with this all along would meet with them,
LARRY FOURNIER MOTIONED AND DOUG LINDENFELSER SECONDED THE
MOTION TO HAVE THE CITY ATTORNEY DIRECT A LETTER TO THE
DEVELOPERS OF COUNTRY RIDGE WITH A DEADLINE TO COMPLY WITH
THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

RE:( Bituminous Overlay for NE 80th sheet, NE Radler Avenue, NE
85th Street between NE LaBeaux and Jager Avenues.
Dear Mayor and Council Members
•
The purpose of the proposed project is tc mitigate observed damages
to the referenced street segments, due to haul road operations in
conjunction with construction of the MnROAD project. These
referenced street segments were used as result of the inability to
complete 70th street, due to unfavorable weather conditions.
The proposed project consists of the following segments:
NE 80th Street 5,253 LF
NE Radler Avenue 2,745 LF
NE 85th Street 4,040 LF
TOTAL 12,038 LF
The existing bituminous mat was designed to be 22 feet wide and a
2 inch thickness. We have observed that the etreets as constructed
generally conform to these design parameters. The scope of the
proposed improvements is to remove and replace all area; exhibiting
major cracking and overlay the entire referenced segments with a 22
foot wide, 1-1/2 inch thick bituminous pavement.
The estimated construction costs are tabulated below'

(including removal and disposal)

(including tack oil)
