Courtney Bednarz, City Plann4 SUBJECT: Joint Meeting with Open Space Advisory Commission DATE: June 28, 2011 INTRODUCTION This item is intended to be an update on the activities of the Open Space Advisory Commission. DISCUSSION At their June 14'h meeting, the Commission recommended that the Council consider purchasing the 40 acre parcel immediately north of the open space purchased from the White Pine Wilderness Development. The Commission will be present at the meeting to discuss this recommendation with the Council. Additional information about the property is provided in the attachments. The Commission also recommended that the open space purchased from the White Pine Wilderness Development be named `Winslow's Woods' to honor Mr. Winslow Holasek. Staff has contacted the Holasek Family and they have expressed interest and appreciation for this consideration. The city policy for naming parks and other facilities is attached. The previous owner of the open space site, Mr. Larry Emmerich, was previously asked to suggest names for the site. He suggested that the name be different from the White Pine Wilderness development but did not have a specific preference. Additionally, suggestions from residents were solicited through newsletter articles. None were received. If the Council chooses to accept this recommendation, you may also want to consider scheduling a event at the site for the Holasek Family once a sign can be completed. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to consider the recommendations of the Open Space Advisory Commission.

Introduction The selection of a property name for a park, park facility and trail is a thoughtful process which requires careful analysis. The policy and procedure has been adopted by the City of Andover to provide the proper procedure and guidelines for any naming or renaming of said amenities. II. Procedure Original naming of a park, park facility and trail will be done as part of the platting process guided by the City of Andover's subdivision ordinance. Subsequent renaming will use the following procedure: 1. Staff, Council, Advisory Body or any Andover resident recognizes and requests the naming of a park, park facility or trail. 2. Staff will perform a background investigation of the request and then distribute the request to the City Council, upon review, send to the Parks & Recreation Commission for review. 3. The Park & Recreation Commission will discuss the merit of the name and make a recommendation to the City Council. 4. The recommendation will then be place on the next regular City Council meeting for consideration. III. Park, Park Facility and Trail Naming Criteria Listed below are some of the criteria that may be used to determine the appropriate naming or renaming of parks, park facilities and trails. 1. The name of the subdivision associated with the park, park facility or trail. 2. The name of the neighborhood in which the park, park facility or trail is located. 3. The street name adjacent to or closely identified with the park, park facility or trail. 4. The name of a local interest point, or local focal point near the park, park facility or trail. 5. The name of an event or historical occurrence associated with the park, park facility or trail. 6. The name of a person who donates a major part or all of the land for the park, park facility or trail. 7. The name of a person of significant stature within the community (with the permission of the honoree, immediate family or designated representative). He /she must adhere to at least one of the following credentials and complete a waiting period of at least six months from the conclusion of service or time of death: a. At least 10 years of local service to the community. b. Shown outstanding assistance or support of the local park system. c. Major financial donor to the park system. d. A historical figure or family. e. A local born or raised person of historic, statewide or national importance. IV. Final Determinations The City Council reserves all rights in the naming or renaming of all parks, park facilities and trails. c 0 :r d N d L Q S m N .F.

In conjunction with the county project, the Cities of Anoka and Andover are developing a local roadway network to provide access to the undeveloped land. Also, a roadway development plan is being developed for Anoka High School, the Anoka Area Ice Arena, and a proposed baseball field southwest of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. Background The project is located in the Cities of Anoka and Andover approximately 1.5 miles north of the interchange of United States Highway (US) 10 and CSAH 7. The existing land use in the area is primarily suburban residential. Additionally, Anoka High School and the Anoka Area Ice Arena are located southwest of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. The project area is shown in Figure 1. The two main highways in the project area are CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. CSAH 7 is a four -lane undivided roadway south of CSAH 116 and a two -lane undivided rural roadway north of CSAH 116. CSAH 7 is an A- minor arterial highway travelling north -south between Anoka, Andover, and Oak Grove. CSAH 7 has a 45 mph speed limit south of CSAH 116 and a 55 mph speed limit north of CSAH 116. CSAH 116 is an A- minor arterial highway providing an east -west connection between the Cities of Ramsey, Andover, and Ham Lake and functions as a reliever to US Highway 10. CSAH 116 varies between a two -lane undivided highway and a four -lane divided highway in the project area with a 50 mph speed limit. a- A WSB Infrastructure m Engineering m Planning m Construction 701 Xenia Avenue South &'Imchoes, hic.

The draft results of the Environmental Assessment show the need for additional turn lanes at the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. Additionally, access revisions are required at the intersections of 415` Avenue and 40th Lane along CSAH 7. The County indicated the desire to limit access to right -in /right -out at these intersections to be consistent with the County's access spacing guidelines and to ensure safe intersection operations. In 2007, a study was completed for the City of Andover of proposed development of the northwest and southwest quadrants of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. The proposed development in this study included the addition of a bus garage on the northeast corner and residential development on the southeast corner. This study identified the need for roadway improvements at the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. Also access was proposed about 1000 feet north of CSAH 116 on CSAH 7 for the bus garage. The study indicated that the proposed traffic would meet a peak hour signal warrant at the proposed access point 1000 feet north of the CSAH 116 and CSAH 7 intersection. Geographic Constraints Both cities desire a full access intersection on CSAH 7 north of CSAH 116 at approximately 43rd Avenue. The current proposed location is approximately 1200 feet north of the CSAH 116 and CSAH 7 intersection. The intersection location is constrained by a large natural gas main and a valve station located about 1300 feet north of CSAH 116 on the east side of CSAH 7. From information provided by the City of Andover, the natural gas valve station can not be relocated. The City of Andover desires a full access intersection on CSAH 116 at approximately 9th Avenue which is about 900 feet east of the CSAH 116 and CSAH 7 intersection. This intersection spacing is constrained by wetlands located east of the proposed intersection location on the north and south sides of CSAH 116. Additional constraints are the Rum River Nature Area and Wild and Scenic Boundary in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. This nature area is located just north of the library in this quadrant and will constrain any loop road concept. Intersections Analyzed Traffic operations for this study were analyzed for the following intersections for the various alfernatives. Existing Intersections (Existing Traffic Control Type): CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 (Signal) • CSAH 7 at 4151 Avenue (Thru -Stop) • CSAH 7 at 40th Lane (Thru -Stop) • 'CSAH 7 at 38th Avenue N.W (Signal) + CSAH 116 at 6th Avenue (Thru -Stop) • CSAH 116iat.Blackfoot Street NW (Thru -Stop) K: \02019-0 \Traffc \Traffic Operations Reporc\ Draf t3-Traffic Operations Memo 6- g11.docs _y_ DRAFT CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Local Access Traffic Analysis June 10, 2011 Page 4 '-V • CSAH 116 at 140th Avenue NW (Thru -Stop) ((( • CSAH 116 at 38th Avenue NW (Thru -Stop) Proposed Intersection Locations (new roadways): • CSAH 7 at 43`d Avenue • CSAH 116 at 41St Avenue • CSAH 116 at 9th Avenue Existing Traffic Counts Traffic counts for the intersections in the project area were taken in July 2010 and May 2011 by WSB and Associates. The traffic counts in July 2010 were taken for the Environmental Assessment study and did not cover all of the intersections analyzed for this study. Therefore additional counts were taken in May 2011 for the remaining intersections. The traffic volumes were balanced between intersections and used as the base for this study. The balanced existing traffic counts are provided in Figure 2. Trip Generation The Cities of Anoka and Andover provided the land use data that was used to estimate the development expected within their municipal boundaries in the project area. Previous traffic analysis was completed for the Anoka County Environmental Assessment. This analysis was also based on City provided data, but the data was used for a more global analysis using the County Regional Traffic Demand Model. More detail has been provided in terms of likely development locations of the different proposed land uses, the local roadway system that will serve the undeveloped areas and the amount of development expected. A map of the developable areas is provided in Figure 3. The development estimated for the vacant parcels located in the northwest corner of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 in the City of Anoka contains 120 residential units and 374,000 square feet of commercial properties including a mixture of restaurants, retail, and services. The expected land use for the vacant parcels in Anoka is shown in Tables A.1a and A.1b in Appendix A. The development estimated for the vacant parcels in the City of Andover to the northeast and southeast of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 is in line with City future land use plans. Estimates for development were calculated based on acres of developable land and floor area ratios. The- ty- C i i ctarr&A+ estimat4there will be 177 housing units and 65,000 square feet of commercial development in the northeast quadrant of the intersection and 70 housing units and 34,000 square feet of commercial development in the southeast quadrant. The land use assumptions for the vacant parcels in Andover are shown in Table A.2a and A.2b in Appendix A.

Trip generation rates were determined for the AM and PM peak hours as well as for daily totals. Trip generation values were then adjusted for internal trips and pass -by /diverted trips as shown in Appendix A based on data in the ITE Trip Generation Manual.

This assumption was made to estimate a "worst- case" scenario for the recreational property usage. However, because of the nature of the recreational facilities, the baseball field will likely be used more frequently in the summer months, and the ice arena will likely be used more frequently in the winter months.

It is assumed this change in access will occur with Anoka County's improvements to the CSAH 116 and CSAH 7 intersection. • Phase 2: 41St Avenue extension from CSAH 7 to an intersection on CSAH 116 approximately 1,800 feet west of CSAH 7 providing full access for the Anoka Area Ice Arena and Anoka High School to CSAH 116. This improvement may occur with the development of the proposed base ball field. • Phase 3: Local roadway expansion in the northwest, northeast and southeast quadrants to provide access to future development. This roadway system will occur in conjunction with the future development of these areas. It is assumed that it will be fully developed by 2030. Within these phases, a number of alternatives are being evaluated to determine the best alternative for improving traffic operations in the area as identified on Figure 4. Phase 1 The first phase analyzed the access to and from the Anoka Area Ice Arena and CSAH 7. This access is planned to be modified with the reconstruction of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 project led by the County. The access to CSAH 7 from 41St Avenue will be closed to the west, and access will be provided via an extension of 40th Lane to connect to the road in front of the Anoka Area Ice Arena and provide access to the Anoka Area Ice Arena parking lot. Two alternatives were proposed for the intersection access at the CSAH 7 /40th Lane intersection: • Alternative 1A (Full access at CSAH 7 /40th Lane): 41St Avenue will only extend to the Anoka Area Ice Arena parking lot. No access to 6th Avenue will be allowed. • Alternative 10 (3/4 access at CSAH 7 %40th Lane): East -West through movements, east -west left turn movements and southbound left turn movements will be restricted on the 401h Lane approaches. The northbound left turn on CSAH 7 to westbound 40th Lane will be allowed. 41St Avenue will be extended to connect to 6th Avenue with a one -way connection for outbound traffic and provide access to eastbound CSAH 116 and northbound CSAH 7. Construction of this phase is necessary to provide access to the Anoka Area Ice Arena and a proposed baseball field located to the south of the 401th Lane extension. Phase 2 The second phase analyzed for the project area includes extending 416t Avenue from the Anoka Area Ice Arena and CSAH 7 to CSAH 116 to just west of the existing pedestrian bridge over CSAH 116. This phase will also include closing access to CSAH 116 from the south leg of 6th Avenue. All of the phase 2 alternatives assume that 41St Avenue will connect with CSAH 116 and provide access to Anoka High KA=19 \Trawc \Traffic Operations Report \Draft 1 -Traffic Operations Memo 6- 311.doa LUM6F17 t _ t w C -a) m .. oc I T Y • --+F• �K � � � [ �..1 to r.�, {{��" �^ i �.'!

Three alternatives were analyzed for Phase 2 based on the access assumed at the intersection of CSAH 7 and 40th Lane: • Alternative 2A (Full access at CSAH 7 /40th Lane) • Alternative 2B (3/4 access at CSAH 7 /40th Lane): Through and left turn movements will be restricted on the 40th Lane approaches. The northbound left turn on CSAH 7 onto 40th Lane to the Anoka Area Ice Arena will be allowed. • Alternative 2C (Right -in /Right -out at CSAH 7 /40th Lane): In addition to the restrictions in Alternative 26, the median on CSAH 7 would be closed prohibiting left turns on northbound CSAH 7. Phase 3 The third phase of construction proposed for the project area involves building new local roads to provide access to CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 from the undeveloped land in the northwest, northeast, and southeast areas, as shown on Figure 1. The new roadways will provide access to the new developments at the following locations: • CSAH 116 and 41St Avenue (constructed in Phase 2) • 43rd Avenue NW at CSAH 7 • 9th Avenue at CSAH 116. The internal roadway system will include a partial loop system starting at the signalized intersection of CSAH 116 and 4161 Avenue (constructed in Phase 2) and will loop northeast and connect to CSAH 7 north of the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection at 43rd Avenue. 43rd Avenue will then run southeast and connect to CSAH 116 at a new intersection with an extended 9th Avenue. Some assumptions were made regarding the intersection configuration of the minor intersections in the project area for the capacity analysis. The intersection of CSAH 7 and 40th Lane is assumed to be a access intersection with the northbound left turn allowed. The access to CSAH 116 from 6th Avenue to the north is assumed to close, and traffic currently utilizing the CSAH 116/6th Avenue intersection will move to the new CSAH 116/41st Avenue intersection. All other intersections in the project area are assumed to be right -in /right -out unless specified in the alternative description. It is assumed in the analysis that the undeveloped parcel in the southeast quadrant of CSAH 116 and CSAH 7 will have access to 9th Avenue to the south of CSAH 116. This will provide alternative access to the undeveloped parcel via 9th Avenue using 41st Avenue and 38t Avenue. A number of alternatives involving intersection configurations for the proposed intersection locations were identified by the Cities and analyzed for this phase: • Alternative 3A: Full access at CSAH 7/43rd Avenue intersection and right -in /right -out access at CSAH 116/9th Avenue intersection.

In this alternative, 41" Avenue will be extended east to the CSAH 116 /Blackfoot Street intersection with full access at the intersection. • Alternative 3F: Full access at CSAH 7/43`d Avenue and CSAH 116/9th Avenue intersections. Traffic Forecasts Traffic volumes were estimated for the new access alternatives based on existing counts and the forecasted peak hour trip generation estimates. The assumptions behind these forecasts are discussed below. Phase 1 Alternative 1A assumes the turning movements at the intersection will be similar to today, except that traffic from the ice arena and the proposed ball field will move to 40th Avenue. Alternative 1B assumes traffic is similar to alternative 1A, except traffic to northbound CSAH 7 and westbound CSAH 116 will use 6th Avenue to exit the Ice Arena parking lot. Phase 2 For Alternative 2A, it is assumed that most of the trips from Anoka High School destined for northbound CSAH 7 that previously used 6th Avenue will instead use the CSAH 7 /40th Lane intersection. When the westbound (outbound) left turn movement is prohibited in Alternative 2B, Anoka High School traffic destined for northbound CSAH 7 will use the CSAH 116/416t Avenue intersection west of the school and proceed on CSAH 116 to CSAH 7. Anoka High School traffic turning left on northbound CSAH 7 at the 40th Lane intersection will use the 38th Avenue intersection when the northbound left turn is prohibited in Alternative 2C. Traffic destined to the Anoka Area Ice Arena will use the CSAH 116 /41St Avenue intersection to access the Ice Arena when the northbound left turn is restricted at the CSAH 7 /40th Lane intersection. Phase 3 Traffic volumes for the Phase 3 alternatives were forecasted for each development zone based on the land use provided by the Cities and resulting trip generation. The trip distribution was calculated using the Anoka County Travel Demand Model and existing traffic flow patterns. The approach direction distributions are shown in Figure 5. Traffic destined to and from the project area was then assigned to roadways in the project area according to the ease of travel to reach the intended destinations based on the access provided in each alternative. The traffic forecasts for Alternative 3A correspond the closest to the 2030 traffic forecasts for the EA, although none of the alternatives is an exact match for the EA since this study has more detail relative to access to adjacent parcels.

The impact on routing is discussed in more detail in the traffic operations analysis section of this study. The projected turning movements are provided in Appendix B. Access Spacing Analysis of intersection spacing was performed in accordance with the Anoka County Highway Department's Access Spacing Guidelines located at the department's website. The County's Access Spacing Guidelines recommend'' /: mile spacing between signalized full access intersections on "A" minor arterials in rural areas with speeds of 50 to 55 miles per hour and '' /< mile spacing between conditional secondary access. For an "A" minor arterial in an urbanizing area with speeds of 40 to 45 miles per hour the County's Access Spacing guidelines recommend % mile spacing between signalized full access intersections and 1/8 mile spacing between conditional secondary access. Both CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 are classified as "A" minor arterials. The posted speed on CSAH 7 south of CSAH 116 is 45 miles per hour and north of CSAH 116 is 55 miles per hour. CSAH 116 through the study area is posted at 50 miles per hour. Currently much of the land in this area is undeveloped. However, with the proposed land use and development the area could be considered an urbanizing area. As a result, the exact classification of these routes relative to the County's Access spacing guidelines is not definitive. The purpose and need section for the CSAH 116 improvements indicates that the appropriate criteria for CSAH 116 is the mile spacing between signalized intersections and '' /< mile spacing between secondary access. It did not address CSAH 7. CSAH 7 does appear to be in a transition area. The distances between the intersections analyzed in this study are as follows: • The distance on CSAH 7 between 43rd Avenue and CSAH 116 is 1200 feet, 120 feet less than X mile spacing and 1440 feet less than the % mile spacing. The intersection location is limited by a high pressure natural gas line and valve station located 100 feet north of the proposed intersection location. The gas line cannot be relocated. If a signal were provided at this location greater spacing between full access intersections could be provided north of 43`d to achieve the %z mile intersection spacing. • The distance on CSAH 7 between CSAH 116 and 4155 Avenue is 450 feet and between 41" Avenue and 40th Lane is 350 feet. They are both less than the 1/8 mile (660 feet) required for secondary access intersections. Anoka County is proposing closing the 41St Avenue access to the west and relocating it to 40th Lane. This would increase the spacing with CSAH 116 to 800 feet and would meet spacing requirements for a "Conditional Secondary" intersection on an "A" minor arterial with speeds of 40 to 45 miles per hour. • The proposed intersection location at CSAH 116/9th Avenue is 900 feet east of the signalized intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. This does not meet the recommended distance for a full access intersection, though it would meet the spacing for a "Conditional Secondary" access on an "A" minor arterial with speeds of 40 -45 miles per hour in an urbanizing area. �urrently though the posted speed of 50 miles per hour would indicate spacing of 5/o mile for a conditional secondary access, it is recommended the location be further evaluated.

These wetlands have been identified as project constraints by the City of Andover. If access is desired, the location should be pushed as far east as possible. Further evaluation of the wetland limits is needed to determine viable locations. Signal Warrant Analysis Standards for determining if a signal is warranted are published in the 2005 edition of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices ( MUTCD). Traffic volumes used in the warrant analysis can be found in Figure 2 and Figure A.1. Part 4 of the MUTCD contains information pertaining to highway traffic signals, including a series of traffic signal warrants that define the minimum conditions under which installing a traffic signal might be justified. Traffic signal warrants have been developed as national guidelines to promote continuity of traffic control devises and to ensure that traffic signals are being installed at intersections that would benefit from their use. Traffic signal warrants are usually calculated for existing traffic counts based on hourly approach volumes. In an effort to determine if warrants will be met for the proposed intersections with traffic generated by the 2030 full build out of the undeveloped land, a general time of day distribution of traffic was used to estimate whether the hourly criteria are met or not. The criteria was developed using average hourly traffic distribution data published by the Metropolitan Council for the Twin Cities and the hourly signal warrant criteria published in the MUTCD for the various signal warrants. With this general approach, signal warrants could be evaluated based on the extrapolation of hourly volume warrant criteria to daily traffic volumes. The following traffic signal warrant criteria was developed for a 4 -lane roadway: Warrant 1 -Eight -Hour Vehicle Volume • Condition 1A, Minimum Vehicle Volume —The major roadway volumes are greater than 12,000 vehicles per day (vpd) and the minor street volume is greater than 5,000 vpd • Condition 113, Interruption of Continuous Flow - The major roadway volumes are greater than 18,000 vpd and the minor street volume is greater than 3,000 vpd. Warrant 2- Four -Hour Vehicle Volume The four -hour warrant is based on the relationship between the major roadway volume and the higher volume of the minor street approach. This relationship, though not linear, is inversely proportional. If the major street volumes grow the minor street volume can be smaller and the warrant will still be met. This criteria may be met if the major volumes is 8,000 vpd and the minor street volume is 8,000 vpd, the criteria is also met if the major volumes is 14,000 vpd and the minor street volume is 3,000 vpd. This volume range is graphed to determine if the warrant is met.

No signal warrants were met for the opening year. The forecast daily traffic volume for the year 2030 is 29,000 vpd for CSAH 116 and is about 6,000 vpd for 41St Avenue NW (north leg). After development occurs to the north, the forecast traffic volumes indicate the intersection will meet the 8 -hour and 4 -hour warrants. The proposed intersection of CSAH 7 at 43`d Avenue NW was analyzed using the full build 2030 traffic volumes forecast for Phase 3, including full access to both the east and west sides of CSAH 7. The forecast daily traffic volume for the year 2030 is 25,000 vpd for CSAH 7 and is about 12,000 vpd for 43`d Avenue NW (west leg). With the forecast traffic volumes, the intersection will meet the 8 -hour and 4- hour warrants. The proposed intersection of CSAH 116 at 9th Avenue NW was analyzed using the full build 2030 traffic volumes forecast for Phase 3, including full access to both the north and south sides of CSAH 7. The forecast daily traffic volume for the year 2030 for CSAH 116 is 25,000 vpd and for 9th Avenue (north leg) is about 3,500 vpd. With the forecast traffic volumes, the 4 -hour and 8 -hour warrants will be met. It should be noted that the forecast traffic volumes at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue are near the minimum levels to warrant a traffic signal and depending on development and neighborhood access volumes could easily change such that warrants are not met. Traffic Operations Analysis The key intersections identified were evaluated during the AM and PM peak hours using Synch ro /SimTraffic micro - simulation software. The results are derived from established methodologies documented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000. The software was used to evaluate the characteristics of the roadway network including lane geometrics, turning - movement volumes, traffic control, and signal - timing. In addition, the signal - timing parameters for future year conditions were optimized using Synchro. This information was then transferred to SimTraffic, the traffic simulation model, to estimate average peak - hour vehicle delays. One of the primary measures of effectiveness used to evaluate intersection traffic operations, as defined in the HCM, is Level of Service (LOS) — a qualitative letter grade, A — F, based on seconds of delay per vehicle due to a traffic control device at an intersection. By definition, LOS A conditions represent high - quality operations (i.e., motorists experience very little delay or interference) and LOS F conditions K: \010140]0 \Traffic \Traff1c Operations Report \Draft 1- Traffic Operations Memo 6311.dom 1(a DRAFT CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Local Access Traffic Analysis URA June 10, 2011 F73 Page 16 represent very poor operations (i.e., extreme delay or severe congestion). Figure 4 depicts a graphical interpretation of delay times that define level of service. The delay thresholds are lower for unsignalized intersections than signalized intersections due to the public's perception of acceptable delays for different traffic controls as indicated in the HCM. The LOS D/E boundary is an indicator of acceptable traffic operations and was used for this analysis. _ 4 so V oLOS u E __.. ^ u ai 55 d ° 50 m u O 2 LOS E 35 � A 35 LOS p N o 1 25 20 0 o LOS m LOS B z 15 0 10 10 LOS U LOSA LOS P Z Vnugnafeed lnter_emion Sgnoli :ed lntaweaion 54s_Ka E fu lsat R Figure 6: Level of Service Thresholds for Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections Results of the capacity analysis are summarized in the following sections. Detailed capacity analysis results for each alternative can be found in Appendix C. Neighborhood traffic impacts were also evaluated in relation to the 9th Avenue connection to CSAH 116 and 41Rt Avenue NW in Andover. Anoka residents have shown concern that if this connection is made, traffic from the planned development will cut through their development. Estimated daily traffic from the development was assigned to the roadways and compared to the existing traffic counts to estimate traffic impacts on 9th Avenue, 41't Avenue NW and 38th Avenue NW. The results of the analysis for each alternative in each Phase is discussed in the following section.

The access modifications for the Anoka Area Ice Arena at CSAH 7 and 40th Lane operate without significant delay. The maximum queues for the northbound left turn from CSAH 7 to 40th Lane and the Anoka Area Ice Arena are 15 and 29 feet for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively, which will not block the through traffic on CSAH 7. The delay for the left turn movement from the ice Arena to northbound CSAH 7 was 16:7 seconds. Table 3: Selected Intersection Operations for Alternative 1A (Full Access at CSAH 7 /40th Lane) CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 - Traffic Signal 15 / 27 B / C CSAH 7 at 40th Lane Thru -Stop 1 / 3 A / A CSAH 7 at 38th Avenue Traffic Signal 15 / 11 B / B CSAH 116 at 6th Avenue Thru -Stop 4 / 4 A / A Alternative 1B (3/4 access at CSAH 7/40th Lane) The intersections in the project area also operate at acceptable LOS values in Alternative 1B as shown in Table 2. The intersection delays and queues shown by the capacity analysis are very similar to Alternative A1. Vehicle queues will not fill the turn bay and block through traffic. Table 2: Selected Intersection Operations for Alternative 1B (3/4 Access at CSAH 7 /400 Lane) K:\ 02014000 \Traffic \Traffic Operatons Report\Draft 1- Traffic Operations Memo 6- 211.EOa I's DRAFT CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Local Access Traffic Analysis June 10, 2011 00AFT Page 18 Phase 2 Alternative 2A (Full access at CSAH 7/40th Lane) The intersections in the project area are estimated to operate at acceptable LOS values for both peak hours. The longest queue at the signalized intersection at CSAH 116 and 41St Avenue is estimated at 160 feet for the westbound through movement in the Pry peals hour. The maximum northbound left turn queue at the CSAH 7 /401h Lane intersection is estimated to be approximately 100 feet which will not block the through traffic. The highest delay is 16 seconds for the eastbound left turn in the AM peak hour which is an LOS C and in the acceptable ranee for unsignalized intersections. The only movement with an unacceptable LOS is the northbound left turn at the CSAH 7/38 1h Avenue intersection during the AM peak hour. The capacity analysis results are summarized below in Table 3. Table 3: Selected Intersection Operations for Alternative 2A (Full Access at CSAH 7 /40th Lane) Alternative 2B (3/4 access at CSAH 7/40th Lane) The capacity analysis results, which are summarized in Table 4, show that traffic operations for this alternative are similar to those in Alternative 2A. The longest maximum queue at the CSAH 116/415t Avenue intersection is 190 feet for the westbound through movement in the PM peak. The maximum northbound left turn queue at the CSAH 7 /40th Lane intersection is estimated to be approximately 85 feet. Again, the only movement with an unacceptable LOS is the northbound left turn at the CSAH 7/38th Avenue intersection in the AM peak hour. Table 4: Intersection Operations for Alternative 2B (3/4 access at CSAH 7 /401h Lane) Alternative 2C (Right -in /Right -out at CSAH 7/40th Lane) The capacity analysis shows that Alternative 2C performs similar to Alternatives 2A and 2B. The longest queue at the intersection of CSAH 116 and 41St Avenue is estimated at 160 feet for the westbound through movement in the PM peak hour. The capacity analysis for Alternative 2C is summarized in Table S.

The capacity analysis was performed using Synchro and SimTraffic software for the proposed intersection configurations for each alternative. Alternative 3A (Full access at CSAH 7/43rd Avenue intersection and Right -in /Right -out at CSAH 116/91h Avenue intersection) This alternative corresponds the most closely to the 2030 traffic volume forecasts for the EA analysis. This alternative will provide acceptable LOS in both the AM and PM peak hours for the forecast 2030 traffic. The estimated maximum queue lengths with this alternative can all be accommodated with the proposed design and traffic queues are not expected to impact the traffic operations at adjacent intersections. The results of the capacity analysis are summarized in Table 6. Table 6: Intersection Operations for Alternative 3A (Full Access at CSAH 7/43rd Avenue Intersection and Right -In /Right -Out at CSAH 116/9th Avenue Intersection) Intersection CSAH 7 at 43rd Avenue Traffic Control Traffic Signal Intersection 17 (s) / Delay 18 Intersection (AM/PM) B / LOS B CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Traffic Signal 23 / 49 C / 0 CSAH 7 at 40th Lane Thru -Stop 2 / 4 A / A CSAH 116 at 41st Avenue Traffic Signal 17 / 33 B / C CSAH 116 at 9th Avenue Thru -Stop 3 / 5 A / A CSAH 116 at Blackfoot Street Thru -Stop 1 / 1 A / A Alternative 3B (Right -in /Right -out at CSAH 7/43rd Avenue and CSAH 116/9th Avenue intersections) This alternative has the most restrictive access of any of the Phase 3 alternatives, allowing only right - in /right -out movements at the CSAH 7/43rd Avenue and CSAH 116 /9th Avenue intersections. The restriction of right -in, right -out access at the CSAH 7 and 43rd Avenue intersection results in two major changes in the traffic flows compared to Alternative 3A which has full access at CSAH 7 and 43rd Avenue. First, the left turn movement from the northwest quadrant to go north on CSAH 7 is forced to go through the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 either as a U -turn or by utilizing access to CSAH 116 and then making a left at CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. Our forecast for this movement is 227 vehicles in the K: \02019000 \Tra,fic \Traffic Operations Report \Draft 1- Traffic Operations Memo 669- 11.dou DRAFT CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Local Access Traffic Analysis June 10, 2011 Page 20 PM peak hour. Second, the left turn from northbound CSAH 7 into the northwest quadrant would not be possible under this alternative, which will increase the westbound CSAH 116 through movement and the northbound CSAH 7 left turn volume at CSAH 116. Both of these movements are critical movements at the CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 intersection. The total left turn volume that is affected is 571 vehicles in the PM peak hour. As a result of this change in traffic routing at the CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 intersection, the intersection goes from a LOS D to a LOS F in the PM peak hour. As a result of the change in LOS there is a significant increase in traffic queues that impact the operations at the adjacent intersections. Many turning movements on the side streets operate at unacceptable LOS levels due to the lengthy queues from the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection. Intersection operations for this alternative are summarized in Table 7. Table 7: Intersection Operations for Alternative 3B (Right -In /Right -Out at CSAH 7/43 rd Avenue and CSAH 116 /9th Avenue Intersections) CSAH 7 at 43rd Avenue Thru -Stop 2 / 73 A / D CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Traffic Signal 31 / 149 C / CSAH 7 at 40th Lane Thru -Stop 3 / 272 A / CSAH 116 at 41st Avenue Traffic Signal 13 / 35 B / D CSAH 116 at 9th Avenue Thru -Stop 3 / 206 A / CSAH 116 at Blackfoot Street Thru -Stop 1 / 37 A Alternative 3C (Right -in /Right -out at CSAH 7/43rd Avenue intersection and full access at CSAH 116/9th Avenue intersection) As shown in Table 8, traffic operations in Alternative 3C are similar to Alternative 3B. The full access at the 9th Avenue and CSAH 116 intersection provides some minor reductions in traffic at CSAH 7 and CSAH 116, but not enough to improve the intersection LOS. The full access at 9th Avenue will not affect the left turn to northbound CSAH 7 from the northwest quadrant or the left turn into the northwest quadrant from CSAH 7. The PM peak hour westbound queue on CSAH 116 from the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection extends approximately 1475 feet beyond the CSAH 116/9th Avenue intersection, and the PM peak hour northbound maximum queue on CSAH 7 at the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection extends to approximately the CSAH 7/38th Avenue intersection. Again, many side street turning movements operate at unacceptable LOS levels due to lengthy queues.

The major benefit of this alternative is the full access on CSAH 7 at 43rd Avenue. The % access on CSAH 116 at 9th Avenue provides limited benefits to the traffic operations on CSAH 116 and CSAH 7. The PM peak hour maximum queue for westbound CSAH 116 extends approximately 640 feet beyond the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection, and the PM peak hour maximum queue extends approximately 120 feet beyond the CSAH 7/41't Avenue intersection. The traffic operations are summarized in Table 9 for Alternative 3D.

It would have about the same forecast LOS as Alternative 3A. The primary benefit of the 41" Avenue extension to CSAH 116 and Blackfoot Avenue would be to reduce the traffic that would potentially go through the residential neighborhood in the southwest quadrant of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. Alternative 3E also provides shorter delays and queues than Alternative 3A. The PM maximum queue for westbound CSAH 116 at the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection is 700 feet, and the northbound queue for the PM peak hour on CSAH 7 at the CSAH 7 /CSAH 116 intersection extends to 340 feet past the CSAH 7 /40th Lane intersection.

Anoka residents are concerned that if the 9th Avenue connection is made, traffic from the planned development will cut through their neighborhood. Traffic counts were taken along 9th Avenue at two locations, one just north of 40th Lane and one just north of 38th Avenue. The traffic counts show the volume on 9th Avenue north of 40th Lane is 230 vehicles pe ay, and the count on 9th Avenue just north of 38th... h AenUe is 1400 vehicles per day. The daily traffic volume on 41St Avenue east of CSAH 7 was estimated at 180 vehicles per day based on peak hour traffic counts. Daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 7. Four access scenarios were evaluated for the intersection of CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue, and development traffic was routed based on the easiest route available. The access scenarios include: 1. Full access at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue, with the 9th Avenue connection to 41St Avenue. 2. % access (no outbound left turning or through vehicles) at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue with a 9th Avenue connection to 415t Avenue. 3. 'Right in /right out access at CSAH 116`and 9th Avenue with a 9th Avenue connection to 415t Avenue. 4. Extension of 41ST Avenue east to CSAH 116 providing full access to CSAH 116 at Blackfoot Street and right -in /right -out access at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue. This scenario assumes the 41St Avenue extension and the 9th Avenue development would not be connected to the neighborhood. If full access is allowed at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue, all development traffic would have access to CSAH 116. Development traffic using 91h Avenue or 41St Avenue would be minimal. If the 9th Avenue connection is made and full access is allowed, the connection may draw traffic originating in the neighborhood. The volume would likely grow on 9th Avenue near 40th Lane and decrease near 38th Avenue. Assuming % access is provided at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue, only the northbound left and through movements would not have access to CSAH 116 limiting access to CSAH 7 and westbound CSAH 116. Development related traffic destined to CSAH 7 north of CSAH 116 or CSAH 116 west of CSAH 7, estimated at 640 trips per day, would likely use 41St Avenue, The daily traffic volume on 41St Avenue is estimated at 820 vehicles per day under this scenario. Development traffic destined to CSAH 7 south of 38th Avenue w luo d likely use 9th Avenue south to 38th Avenue to get to CSAH 7. The traffic volume on 9th Avenue is estimated to increase 410 trips increasing the daily volume to 640 vehicles per day north of 40t" Lane and 1,810 vehicles per day on north of 38th Avenue. Estimated daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 7.

Traffic would then use 38th Avenue and 9th Avenue to enter the development. This would add 730 additional daily vehicle trips to 9th Avenue for a total increase of 1,140 trips per day increasing the volume on 9th Avenue to 1,370 vehicles per day north of 40th Lane and 2,540 vehicles per day north of 38th Avenue. The volume on 41" Avenue will be the same as the access scenario, estimated at 820 vehicles per day. Estimated daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 7. The scenario that includes the extension of 41St Avenue east to CSAH 116 would provide full access to the development at CSAH 116 at Blackfoot Street and right -in /right -out access at CSAH 116 and 9th Avenue. This scenario assumes the 41St Avenue extension and the 9th Avenue development would not be connected to the neighborhood and therefore there would be no increase in traffic on 9th Avenue south of 41ST Avenue or on 415t Avenue west of 9th Avenue. A possible configuration to separate the neighborhood traffic from the development may include a new configuration for the intersection of 41St Avenue and 9th Avenue. The development may be separated from access to the neighborhood by connecting the west leg of 41St Avenue to the south leg of 9th Avenue and connecting the proposed north leg to the east leg of 41St separating the two roads by a boulevard. Other configurations maybe identified with further study. 'Twls k eovt "-sn a Y Ad.ra.'A)%n U"* . U \Ae.(P.

The introduction of an additional signal may reduce delays for the side streets and potentially improve the operation of the CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 intersection, but it will also add delay for through traffic at the new signalized intersection. The overall travel times through the study area on both CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 were evaluated for the various alternatives in Phase 3 to determine the overall impact on through traffic on both CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. For the CSAH 7 corridor the corridor travel times were measured from % mile north of the proposed intersection at 43'd Avenue to % mile south of the intersection at 38`1' Avenue. For CSAH 116 the corridor travel times were measured from % mile east of 38th to a X mile west of 41St Avenue. The results are shown in Table 14. The alternatives that have full access at 43`d Avenue have the best overall corridor travel times on both CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. This is primarily because the traffic operations and delay at the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 fail without a full intersection at 43`d Avenue. Table 14: Corridor Travel Time by Alternative Conclusions Traffic operations, access spacing, signal warrants, and neighborhood impacts were analyzed for the local intersections adjacent to the CSAH 7 intersection with CSAH 116. Anoka County is currently developing plans for the reconstruction of CSAH 116 including its intersection with CSAH 7. With this reconstruction, the Cities of Anoka and Andover have identified potential roadway access that they desire to maintain the economic viability of the land adjacent to the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. Phase 1 Phase 1 analyzed the potential access for the Anoka Area Ice Arena. The access is currently positioned along CSAH 7 at 41St Avenue. This intersection is 350 feet south of CSAH 116. The access does not meet Anoka County's Access Spacing Guidelines for a secondary access and has been identified by the County to be closed with the reconstruction of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. With this closure the City of Anoka has proposed relocating the access south 450 feet to line up with 40th Lane. Two potential access alternatives were identified to provide access to the Anoka Area Ice Arena at 40th Lane, • Alternative 1A: full access to CSAH 7, similar to today.

With existing traffic volumes the delay for this movement is 16.1 seconds in the PM peak hour. However, in the future the delays would increase significantly. With a % access, the traffic to northbound CSAH 7 would have to use the 41St and CSAH 116 intersection. Although this is farther for traffic to go it would be much safer when traffic volumes increase. With a right -in and right -out access at 40th Avenue and CSAH 7, the northbound CSAH 7 traffic to the Ice Arena would have to make a left at CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 and then use the intersection at 41St Avenue and CSAH 116. This would add to a high left -turn volume at CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. The northbound left turn from CSAH 7 at 40th Avenue could be accommodated at an acceptable level of service. Phase 3 Phase 3 of construction proposed for the project area involves building new local roads to provide access to CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 from the undeveloped land in the northwest, northeast, and southeast areas. The new roadways will provide access to the new developments at the following locations: • CSAH 116 and 41St Avenue (constructed in Phase 2), signalized by 2030, • 43rd Avenue NW at CSAH 7, • 9th Avenue at CSAH 116. It is assumed that a full access intersection will be provided at CSAH 116 and 41St Avenue under all alternatives. The analysis shows that a full access at 43rd Avenue and CSAH 7 is important to maintain an acceptable level of service at the CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 intersection. Without the full access at CSAH 7 and 43`d Avenue, the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116 is forecast to fail and create queues and back -ups that affect the adjacent intersections. It also results in a significant increase in the overall corridor travel times. It is expected that the intersection of 43`d Avenue and CSAH 7 will meet signal warrants with the future development in the northwest quadrant. This intersection does not meet the County's Access Spacing Guidelines and, if provided, would require greater spacing at other future intersections to the north to achieve the % mile spacing in the County's guidelines. The analysis shows that a full access intersection at 9th Avenue and CSAH 116 provides limited benefits to the overall traffic operations in the corridor. Without a traffic signal at this location the left turn movements from the side streets would operate at level of service "I'". The analysis indicates that with full development the traffic volumes at this intersection may potentially meet signal warrants but it will depend on actual access and traffic characteristics. 01n b,_4- - 5,&rp°`k 4r -�kc. 3/q o II ( q- 9''' A04- N: \Odo1 \Tral& \Traffic Operatlans Report\Draft 3- Traffic Operatlom Memo 6- 9- 11.doa ' DRAFT CSAH 7 at CSAH 116 Local Access Traffic Analysis June 10, 2011 Page 27 • Alternative 16: 3/4 access restricting lefts out of the ice arena. With the 3/4 access alternative there would be a one -way outbound connection to 6th Avenue just west of CSAH 7 to provide access to CSAH 116. 6th Avenue is also right -in /right -out at CSAH 116, so with Alternative 16 no direct access would be provided to westbound CSAH 116 and a u -turn would be required to go west. The intersection location at CSAH 7 and 40 Lane is 800 feet south of CSAH 116 and would meet the Anoka County Access Spacing Guidelines for a secondary access to an "A" minor arterial with speeds of 40 to 45 unfles per hour but dues not meet the guidelines fur a full access. Tile key difference between the two alternatives is how the movement from the ice arena to northbound CSAH 7 and westbound CSAH 116 is handled. With a % access at 40th Avenue and CSAH 7 traffic destined to northbound CSAH 7 and westbound CSAH 116 would make a right -turn onto CSAH 116 at 6th Avenue and then a left or u- turn at CSAH 7. With a full access at 40th Avenue this traffic would turn onto CSAH 7. Based on the analysis the delay for this left -turn onto CSAH 7 would be 16.7 seconds which is an acceptable level of service "C ". Phase 2 Phase 2 includes extending 41St Avenue from the Anoka Area Ice Arena and CSAH 7 to CSAH 116 to just west of the existing pedestrian bridge over CSAH 116. This phase also included closing access to CSAH 116 from the south leg of 6th Avenue and the reconstruction of the intersection of CSAH 7 and CSAH 116. All of the Phase 2 alternatives assume that 41" Avenue will connect with CSAH 116 and provide access to Anoka High School through a full- access intersection at CSAH 116. The Anoka High School currently uses 38th Avenue and CSAH 7 to go westbound on CSAH 116. An alternate route to westbound CSAH 116 commonly used (as observed when collecting traffic data) is vehicles use the right -out access from 6th Avenue to CSAH 116 and proceed east on CSAH 116 and make a u -turn at CSAH 7 or further east just past CSAH 7 and make a u -turn mid - block. Also, some vehicles were observed making a left turn from the right -out on 6th Avenue to go west on CSAH 116, which is an illegal traffic movement. The access at CSAH 7 and the proposed 40th Lane location was evaluated with the 41st Avenue and CSAH 116 intersection assuming full access, %access, and right -in /right -out access and existing traffic volumes. The 41St Avenue extension to CSAH 116 would provide more direct access for the Anoka High School and the Anoka Area Ice Arena to westbound CSAH 116. It also provides an alternative for the Ice Arena traffic to westbound CSAH 116. The intersection would remove the need to make u -turns at the intersection of CSAH 7 improving the operations at this intersection in the future. The intersection location is 1,800 feet west of CSAH 7 which is less than the 1/2 miles spacing required by the Anoka County Access Spacing Guidelines for a full access intersection on an "A" minor arterial with speeds of 50 or 55 miles per hour but greater than the 1/4 mile spacing required on a roadway in an urbanizing area. The intersection operates at a LOS of A with estimated existing volumes and signal control. The intersection does not meet signal warrants with existing traffic volumes. Traffic volumes at this intersection will meet traffic signal warrants with the future access to the north of CSAH 116. When the 41St Avenue extension is constructed, signal warrants may want to be reevaluated due to the high school traffic and anticipated large peak traffic flows that come from sporting events.

METHOD The County shall cause the construction of Anoka County Project SP 02- 716 -12, in conformance with proposed engineering plans and specifications. III. COSTS The contract costs of the work, or if the work is not contracted, the cost of all labor, materials, normal engineering costs and equipment rental required to complete the work, shall constitute the "actual construction costs" and shall be so referred to herein. "Estimated construction costs" are good faith projections of the costs, which will be incurred for this project. Actual costs will vary and those will be the costs for which the relevant parties will be responsible. The estimated construction cost of the total project is $XXXXXXX. Federal funds available for the Project are capped at $4,204,000. The federal funds shall be split based on the ratio of eligible cost incurred by each party to the total eligib cost. Eligible costs are the costs of items that can participate in federal funding as shown Exhibit B. % The total estimated construction cost to the City is $XXXXXXX (prior to application of federal funds available). After federal funding percentage is applied, the cost to the City for their share of the construction items of the Project is $XXXXXX ($XXXXX minus $XXXXXX, the federal funds available to the City). The City participation in construction engineering will be at a rate of eight percent (8 %) of their designated construction share of $XXXXXX. The estimated cost to the City for construction engineering is $XXXXXXX. In summary, the total City share of this project is $X (includes construction and construction engineering costs). The total cost to the city after federal funds have been applied including construction engineering is * $XXXXXXX ( see summary below). *( $XXXXX — $XXXXXXX + $XXXXXX = $XXXXXX note: construction engineering costs are not federally eligible) Upon award of the contract, the City shall pay to the County, upon written demand by the County, ninety five percent (95 %) of its portion of the cost of the project estimated at $XXXXXX Prior to billing, this estimate will be updated by the County to reflect the actual bid prices as awarded. An updated cost estimate shall be provided to the City at the time of billing. The City's share of the cost of the project shall include only construction and construction engineering expense and does not include engineering design and administrative expenses incurred by the County. Upon final completion of the project, the City's share of the construction cost will be based upon actual construction costs. If necessary, adjustments to the initial ninety five percent (95 %) charged will be made in the form of credit or additional charges to the City's share. Also, the remaining five percent (5 %) of the City's portion of the construction costs shall be paid. $50 IV. TERM j9AFT This Agreement shall continue until terminated as provided hereinafter. V.

For instance, a Township or City may request a sidewalk be constructed alongside a County roadway which would require additional right -of -way, in which case the Township or City may pay for that portion of the right -of -way. Acquisition of right -of -way for new alignments shall be the responsibility of the Township or City in which the alignment is located. This provision may be waived by agreement with the County Board if the roadway replaces an existing alignment and the local unit of government takes jurisdiction of that existing alignment. In addition, any costs, including right -of -way costs, incurred by the County because a Township or City did not acquire sufficient right -of -way during the platting process or redevelopment process as requested by the County shall be paid by the Township or City. *5 Notification includes any letter to the agency indicating that noise will potentially be an issue in the future, likely received during the Plat Review Process. Maintenance shall be the responsibility of the agency paying for the initial installation. When the County is the responsible agency, it shall pay 100% of Standard Noise Wall Cost.

Berkowitz, Director of FROM: Todd J. Haas, Lower Rum River WMO SUBJECT: Update LRRWMO — Engineering DATE: June 28, 2011 INTRODUCTION This item is in regards to updating the City Council as to the status of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization ( LRRWMO) and the Wetland Management Standards that are currently being drafted by the TAC. DISCUSSION As mentioned at the last Council workshop in May, a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has been created to address two items which are or will be included in the plan. The storm water standards have been completed and have already been approved by the LRRWMO board. The second item currently being discussed by TAC is the wetland management standards. The standards are set to protect wetlands (besides storm water treatment ponds) where there is direct runoff from adjacent properties (roofs, backyards, chemicals that are used to fertilize yards).The standard also will provide the wildlife habitat which is a goal of the LRRWMO as identified in the 3rd Generation Plan. At this point TAC is looking at backyard infiltration basins (swales to capture the water which will infiltrate eventually back into the wetland as treated water) and buffers (or also known as maintenance strips). TAC is in agreement that either one or a combination of both would work in the treatment of the runoff based on scientific data and studies that was provided by the Anoka Conservation District. If one of the goals of the LRRWMO is to provide habitat, then buffers may provide the best option. TAC is not saying that a buffer strip (for example placing a 16.5 foot wide buffer strip around the perimeter of the wetland) be placed around the wetland but to use judgment when establishing the width of the buffer strip based on slope and condition of the property. The steeper the slope that exists, the larger the buffer strip needs to be. There is no state mandate requiring buffers but research has shown that it is one of the best management practices to protect wetlands. The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), as mentioned at the last workshop, is the agency that ultimately will be reviewing and approving the entire plan including the wetland protection section. If the goals that have been stated in the plan are not addressed on how the LRWMO will accomplish these goals (for example buffers and/or infiltration swales), the plan will or may not be approved by BWSR. Note: TAC is in agreement that education on protecting wetlands is extremely important and will be one component. The opinion by BWSR feels that this is not enough in the physical protection of wetlands. 04 9ALWA Mayor and Council Members June 28, 2011 Page 2 of 2 Here are a few other things that are going on with the LRRWMO. A water quality representative of the National Park Service gave a short presentation to the LRRWMO at their last meeting in June and what is happening along the Mississippi River. They also gave some ideas about partnering with the adjacent communities on grants and other opportunities. For those not familiar with segment of the Mississippi River, the National Park Service is responsible for providing recreational opportunities for 72 mile stretch of the river from Dayton/Ramsey down to Hastings. ACTION REQUIRED This is for information and no action is needed at this time.

Subsequent discussion has centered on the need of other committees (Vehicle Purchasing & Facility Management Committees) and commissions (Parks and Recreation & Community Center Advisory) to start their work. DISCUSSION Throughout the summer a significant amount of time will be spend on evaluating water /sewer infrastructure, transportation improvements, building maintenance, equipment and park and recreation needs. Each of these items will be supported by a detailed analysis of funding sources (based on various assumptions and estimates) that will be presented to the Council for review at future workshops. At this time the Staff would like to update the Council on the 2011 CIP projects progress (report attached) and the G°draft" 2012 -2016 CIP Projects (attached) throu¢h staff/committee /commission Proeress to date. Also staff will seek Council input on a Park & Recreation Commission initiative to pursue analysis on artificial turf ACTION REQUESTED The Council is requested to receive a brief presentation, discuss current sanitary sewer rate theory and pWvaide direction to staff. submitted, Community Center Replacement - Zamboni Battery Pack Engineering New Development Projects Pedestrian Trail Maintenance Facility Management Annual Parking Lot Maintenance Building A -Seal Floor Andover Station North Parking Lot /Access Road Information Technology VMWare Virtual Server / SAN Project Park & Recreation - Operations Replace /Repair Play Structures - Various Parks Replacement - Large Capacity Lawnmower Park & Recreation - Projects.

In February 2011, the Council released a standard set of ten performance measures for cities and counties that will aid residents, taxpayers, and state and local elected officials in determining the efficacy of counties and cities in providing services, and measure residents' opinions of those services. Cities and Counties that choose to participate in this voluntary program may be a reimbursement in LGA and exemption from levy limits. DISCUSSION Information on this program is attached including a letter from the State Auditor's office, an excerpt from the State Statute and a copy of the legislative report which outlines the performance measures to be reported by participating counties and cities. Most of the statistical performance measures are currently available, but several of the performance measures are community survey questions and have the potential of additional expenditures for the City. In order to participate in the program, Council must officially adopt the ten performance measures and submit a resolution to the State Auditor's office by July 1, 2011. BUDGET IMPACT The adoption of this program will allow the City to collect $0.14 per capita in LGA to help offset any expenditures associated with a community survey, in addition to being exempt from levy limits for taxes payable in 2012. ACTION REQUESTED The Andover City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution adopting the ten performance measures recommended by the Council of Local Results and Innovation.

In February 2011, the Council released a standard set of ten performance measures for counties and ten performance measures for cities that will aid residents, taxpayers, and state and local elected officials in determining the efficacy of counties and cities in providing services, and measure residents' opinions of those services. By February of 2012, the Council must create comprehensive performance measurement systems for cities and counties to implement in 2012. Cities and counties that choose to participate in the new standards measure program may be eligible for a reimbursement in LGA, and exemption from levy limits. Participation in the standard measures program by a city or a county is voluntary. Counties and cities that choose to participate in the standard measures program must officially adopt the corresponding 10 performance benchmarks developed by the Council, and implement them in 2011. They will be required to communicate the results of the measures to their residents the following calendar year. A county or city that elects to participate in the standard measures program for 2011 is eligible for a reimbursement of $0.14 per capita in local government aid, not to exceed $25,000 and is also exempt from levy limits under sections 275.70 to 275.74 for taxes payable in 2012, if levy limits are in effect. In order to receive the per capita reimbursement in 2011, and levy limit exemption for calendar year 2012, counties and cities must: ✓ File a report with the Office of the State Auditor by July 1, 2011. This report will consist of a declaration approved by the city council or county board stating that the city /county has adopted the corresponding 10 performance measures developed by the Council. Annual reporting will be required by the cities and counties that participate in the program. By July 1, 2012, cities and counties will be required to report to the OSA that they have adopted both the performance benchmarks, and the performance measure system released by the Council in February of 2012. A declaration will be required that the city /county has reported or will report the results for calendar 2011 of the 10 adopted measures to its residents before the end of calendar year 2012. To meet the reporting requirements for 2011, a copy of the declaration in a PDF format can be attached to an email and sent to gid @osa.state.mn.us. Beginning next year, the Office of the State Auditor will be using the State Auditor's Form Entry System (SAFES) for the local performance measurement and improvement program reporting.

An Equal Opportunity Employer The Council on Local Results and Innovation 2011 Legislative Report February 14, 2011 February 14, 2011 To the Property and Local Sales Tax Division of the House of Representatives, Taxes Committee and the Taxes Division on Property Taxes of the Senate Tax Committee, Per the requirements of 2010 Minnesota Laws Chapter 389, Article 2, Sections 1 and 2, the Council on Local Results and Innovation is submitting its recommended "... standard set of approximately ten performance measures for counties and ten performance measures for cities that will aid residents, taxpayers, and state and local elected officials in determining the efficacy of counties and cities in providing services, and measure residents' opinion of those services." The recommended model performance measures are attached. Local government and public feedback was solicited on the proposed benchmarks. The members of the Council include: • Patricia Coldwell, Association of Minnesota Counties • John Gunyou, City of Minnetonka • Mark Hintermeyer, City of Moorhead • Jay Kiedrowski, Humphrey School, University of Minnesota • Katie Nerem, Blue Earth County • Rebecca Otto, Minnesota State Auditor • Jay Stroebel, City of Minneapolis • Matt Stemwedel, City of Woodbury • Wendy Underwood, City of St. Paul • Tim Walsh, Scott County • Ben Woessner, City of Pelican Rapids The Council received no funding to conduct their work. Meeting minutes were taken by volunteers, and the Office of the State Auditor posted all meeting materials and meeting dates on the Office of the State Auditor website. All meetings were open to the public. The Council sees value in having all counties and cities in Minnesota develop performance measures that they use to manage their jurisdictions and having results of those performance measures shared with citizens and property tax payers. Our recommended performance measures should be considered examples to assist counties and cities in developing their own performance measures. The Council was concerned about the misuse of these performance measures by the legislature or others in the appropriation of funds or for comparisons among counties and cities. The general performance measures recommended are simply inadequate for those purposes. The Council on Local Results and Innovation is proceeding to meet the additional requirements of the statute, which is to "develop recommended minimum standards for comprehensive performance measurement systems by February 15, 2012." We interpret "performance measurement system" to mean more broadly a performance management system that uses performance measures to manage counties and cities. Representatives of the Council would welcome the opportunity to discuss the Council's work, our recommended model performance measures, and our concerns about the use of these measures.

Within 4 -5 days water is completely gone • March 2011— City begins pumping water into Storm Water Management System — Surface water recedes, however, sink holes found in wetland remain filled (water table is near surface) • Without the city's pumping effort of the easement, a pond would have would continued to exist • June 2011— Portions of the wetland bottom drops about a foot heading north from the culvert • It appears that several trees will die in the wetland 6/28/2011 1 Storm Water Management System (SWMS) • What is consider in developing a SWMS? • Can the city provide a map that defines the footprint of this SWMS? • What design specification were used to determine the amount of rainfall range (short term and long term periods)? — Was the wetland easement considered as a contingency? — Was soil structure of the wetland part of the analysis? Easement Notification • How is the public educated on whether an easement exists within their property? • Did everyone understand the purpose of the easement? • What does an utility easement entail? — Gas, electric, drinking water, sewer, cable? — Other? • Will we have available to us the original and current survey maps? • Will the city outline with flags, the perimeter of the easement? 6/28/2011 2 It r r Precipitation History • Several have suggested that since last fall, precipitation is above average — Does documentation exist to confirm this? — What data source could be used to confirm this? Well Pumping Study • Was an impact study completed to determine how much water the Storm Water Management System could handle? — Did it assume the availability of the wetland easement? — Did it consider the past precipitation history? — Did it allow for potential rainfall in the future? 6/28/2011 3 Well Pumping • How did the city notify residences that the easements were going to be used? If so, when did residences get notified? • If the city had not been contacted, how long would the city well pumping have continued? — Until the city well was cleaned? — Until the water went beyond the easements? — Was city staff monitoring the water levels? • How much water was pumped from the city well into the Storm Water Management System? When did it start? How much water was pumped each day into: — Ponds land 2? — Other ponds? • What was well #7 capability (gal /minute) prior to pumping? • What was the capacity goal following the pumping? • What is the current capacity? Future • Continued pumping of the well is required to get the well to full capacity — Where does the city intend to pump the water to? — When will the well pumping begin again? 6/28/2011 4 n f 1,000,000 Gallons 231 cubic inches 231,000,000 cubic inches of well water 1" depth 5 " depth 10" depth 20" depth • e • • i s 6/28/2011 5
