Resolution No. 2024-34 Denying an Interim Use Permit (IUP #24-01) Requested by Amarok, LLC to Allow a 10-Foot-Tall Electric Fence at 4650 Main Street N.E. (Ward 3) 6 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 3/11/2024 Minutes Page 3 Nancy Abts, Associate Planner, presented a request from Amarok on behalf of Electric Motor Supply Company for an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to allow a ten-foot tall, low-voltage electric security fence at 4650 Main Street NE. She reviewed the site description and history and adjacent property uses. She also reviewed details of the IUP request, the purpose of an IUP, and the criteria that must be met to be eligible for an IUP. She stated that staff recommends denial of the request, as did the Planning Commission after its review on February 21 with a vote of 5-1. She stated that if electric fences are desired more broadly in industrial areas of the Fridley, the Commission agreed that it would be more appropriate to consider a text amendment rather than using the IUP tool. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there is any updated information on the offer for the police to meet with the property owner, as was discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. Ms. Abts confirmed that a member from the department was able to go to the site and provide some recommendations. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, reviewed some of the recommendations made by the department related to fencing, lighting and camera use. He noted that a police trailer could also be used on the site. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she visited the site and was concerned with the condition of the fence and vegetation growth. She believed that this was a different situation than the previously granted electric fence. Ted White, Electric Motor Supply, stated that the company has had issues with people cutting the fence and coming into the yard and damaging their equipment for the past ten years. He commented on the different things they have tried to improve security on the site and the path he has taken to reach this potential solution. He noted that because people are cutting the fence, it would not make sense to replace the fence with a new chain link fence. He stated that he did meet with police and fire to discuss potential solutions. He recognized that the steel fence would be quite a bit more expensive. He noted that they do plan to clean vegetation from the site to the extent possible and allowed by the railroad. Mayor Lund commented that staff always work to help businesses in this community. He stated that he does not want to see electric fences all over the community and this request does not meet the criteria. He commented that other options have also been provided to aid in security and hoped that some of those options would solve the issues. Councilmember Tillberry asked if the applicant understands the reasoning behind the recommendation of denial from the Planning Commission. Mr. White commented that while he does understand the reasoning behind their recommendation, he did not believe someone would be injured by the fence which would be 300 feet interior to his property line. Councilmember Tillberry commented that safety, location and appearance were reasonings for denial in this request compared to the Copart request. 7 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 3/11/2024 Minutes Page 4 Councilmember Bolkcom asked the applicant for more details on what is kept in that yard area that is becoming damaged. Mr. White replied that the company buys and sells industrial electrical distribution equipment, noting that it is outdoor equipment that is large, heavy and difficult to move which cannot be stored inside. He stated that although the equipment is locked up, the people are cutting the locks similar to the fences. He explained that the copper wire is valuable to thieves, and the thieves taking out the couple hundred dollars in wire causes thousands of dollars in damage, often making the equipment unable to be resold. He averaged about $100,000 per year in damages from theft. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the steel fence could be installed for less than the yearly damages. Mr. White replied that could be done but the electric fence was a cheaper option. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that she does not like that aesthetic in a residential neighborhood area. Councilmember Ostwald asked if a solid fence would be as effective in the opinion of the applicant. Mr. White replied that the electric fence does provide immediate notification if someone is attempting to tamper with the fence. Michael Pate, Amarok, commented that people will go over a solid fence and noted that a solid fence also blocks what is occurring inside that perimeter once the person scales the fence. He stated that the electric fence is an alarm, which is installed inside the existing perimeter fence and explained how the low-voltage system works in conjunction with the alarm system. He explained that there are no concerns for safety with this type of system. He said the fence will not be noticeable, although the signs may be visible in the same manner as a license plate would be. He stated that perhaps a three- year period be allowed to try this out, or perhaps the end date would be if the business changes ownership. Mayor Lund commented that he would think about reviewing this within the City Code as they continue to update the Code. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that in her discussions with staff, she does not believe staff would like to do that. Mr. Hickok explained that this is not an apples-to-apples comparison with the previous application that was reviewed for this type of use. He stated that in that previous review the Council did not have an interest in pursuing a text amendment at that time. He stated that staff can only work under the parameters provided by the Council and therefore unless direction is provided by the Council, staff must go under the previous direction. He explained that if the Council approves this, it would be no different than any other business on the corridor. Mr. Pate commented that he has these fences in 7,000 communities nationwide. He commented that this property is zoned industrial and is across from a residential neighborhood. He commented that 8 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 3/11/2024 Minutes Page 5 the standards of his company prevent installation within the residential district, again noting that this is an industrial district. He stated that the same type or even more powerful devices can be purchased at Tractor Supply and are installed on residential and farming properties. He noted that the fence would be 300 feet from the trail and further from the residential properties. Motion made by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 2024-34, Denying an Interim Use Permit (IUP #24-01) Requested by Amarok, LLC to Allow a 10-Foot-Tall Electric Fence at 4650 Main Street N.E. Seconded by Councilmember Ostwald. Councilmember Ostwald commented that he can see both sides of this request. He stated that he is basing his decision on the recommendation of the Planning Commission, staff, and the standards within the Code. Council encouraged the applicant to continue to work with staff to find a solution for the property. Council agreed to have a discussion on whether a text amendment would be appropriate for this issue. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously. Informal Status Reports Councilmember Tillberry noted the Springbrook Spree will be held on April 6 at Springbrook Nature Center, and encouraged the public to purchase tickets to attend this fundraising event. Mayor Lund noted that the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation Board is holding the event and all funds raised are used for improvements and enhancements for the Nature Center. Councilmember Bolkcom congratulated the Public Safety Department, noting that the Council had the opportunity to view the new fire truck and its safety equipment tonight. Wally Wysopal, City Manager, referenced the discussion on February 12 related to the redevelopment of Commons Park, and he stated staff heard the message from the public relating to the need for ball fields. He said staff have met with representatives from the athletic association and School District 14 to continue to identify needs and solutions. Adjourn Motion made by Councilmember Ostwald to adjourn. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 7:54 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Melissa Moore Scott J.

On December 18, 2023 the Council conducted a Public Hearingregarding the 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project. Along with comments received by the Council and staff relating to the project improvements,comments from residents fromthe Channel Road project area expressed concern regardingtraffic volume and requested traffic calming measures be done in conjunction with the 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2024-01. On February 6, 2024, City staff held an additional project open house for the residents along and adjacent to Channel Road to gauge interest in the implementation of various traffic calming options. A total of 63 property owners along Channel Road and the adjacent streets were invited via public mailing to review traffic calming options, provide feedback to staff and vote on desired options. Those unable to attend the meeting were encouraged to review the traffic calming options and provide feedback via an online sur Meeting materials presented for the six traffic calming options below included typical design, potential effect on traffic speed/volume and other design considerations: Option 1: Speed Humps Option 2: Speed Cushions (Speed Pads) Option 3: Curb Bump-Outs Option 4: Realigned Intersection Option 5: Traffic Circle th Option 6: One-Way Conversion (68Avenue). Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendlyand stable home for families and businesses. 63 Jufn!:/ The materials presented at the meeting were also made available on the project webpage for those unable to attend. Meeting attendance included 13 residents from the project area as well as Councilmember-at-Large, David Ostwald. Five Engineering Division staff were in attendance to answer questions regarding the various traffic calming measures. The City received five online feedback responses pertaining to the presented options. Below is a summary of the feedback received by the City regarding the six options presented to both in-person and online survey participants: Option Feedback Option 1: Speed humps along Channel Road Favorable Option 2: Speed cushions along Channel Road Neutral Option 3: Installation of curb bump-outs along Channel Road Unfavorable th Option 4: Realigned intersection of Channel Road and 66 Avenue Neutral th Option 5: Traffic circle at the intersection of Channel Road and 66 Favorable Avenue th Option 6: Conversion of 68 Avenue to a one-way for westbound traffic Unfavorable only At the February 26, 2024 City Council Conference Meeting, staff presented feedback on data on the six options offered. More detailed information pertaining to the proposed additions are outlined in pages 32-55 of the amended Feasibility Report (attached). From the discussion with the Council and based on feedback received from the public, staff affirm that Options 1 and 5 are feasible. Staff are working on preliminary design to incorporate one or both of these elements. Staff estimate the cost of adding Option 1 will be approximately $15,000 for three speed humps and Option 5 will be approximately $10,000. The total funding required for adding traffic calming along Channel Road will be approximately $25,000. Staff recommend these improvements are paid for through traffic funding included in the Traffic Safety Upgrades item in the 2024-2028 Capital Investment Plan (CIP), which budgets $30,000 for this purpose. The CIP has the budget to fund the additional traffic calming measures and staff have determined in this case that, 1) this street has a high number of vehicles that travel through this corridor to higher volume roadway connections at Mississippi Street and Trunk Highway 65, and 2) the 1800 foot length of the straight street without any traffic control is excessive and promotes increased driver speed. The amendment to the Feasibility Report includes the CIP as the source of funding for traffic calming improvements along and adjacent to Channel Road. The amended plan will have no bearing on any property assessments related to the 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2024-01.

To enable the City to identify improvements that will provide for an efficient level of service and life-cycle cost, staff inspect and rate the City’s pavements on a regular basis. The City has also developed a pavement improvement plan based on resurfacing pavement and base treatment with intermittent sealcoating. The goal is to provide maintenance improvements at scheduled intervals. For example: Activity Schedule Initial Construction Year 0 SealcoatingYear 8 Sealcoating Year 16 ResurfacingYear 24 Sealcoating Year 32 Sealcoating Year 40 Reconstruction Year 48 This is an ideal and aggressive sequence for street maintenance. Note that the final reconstruction may be substituted with resurfacing activities if the roadway base is in good condition, with the intent to extend road life for an additional cycle of 24 years. Due to the variability with budgets, road configurations, traffic patterns, condition of utilities, source of funds, other projects, etc., the basic schedule above varies and fluctuates for each roadway segment. As part of identifying the best candidate for this year’s pavement resurfacing project, City of Fridley Engineering Division staff worked with Street Maintenance Division staff to develop a list of candidate projects. Factors including physical pavement characteristics and budgetary considerations among others were then considered to assist in selection of the best candidate. The Engineering Division monitors existing pavements through semi-annual inspections. From this inspection information, the Engineering Division prepares a Street Resurfacing Plan consistent with the Street Capital Improvement Plan, which designates candidate street segments for construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. The City of Fridley also performs preventative surface maintenance (e.g. sealcoating), routine crack sealing and pothole patching maintenance. The amount of street maintenance on this segment is increasing annually due to the rapid deterioration of the existing pavements. The Engineering Division has prepared a Street Resurfacing Plan consistent with the Long-Term Street Maintenance Program, which designates candidate street segments for construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. The Plan identifies the areas within the city and the anticipated year for maintenance projects. Please refer to the following map summarizing the Long-Term Street Maintenance Program. 3 71 Jufn!:/ Street Resurfacing Plan 2024-01 PROJECT 4 72 Jufn!:/ Background The 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project is composed of three distinct project locations across the City of Fridley. The proposed project scope includes pavement rehabilitation and miscellaneous utility improvements across all project locations. The project extents and street segment history of each project location are included below. See Figure A in the Appendices for a map of proposed project locations. th Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66 Avenue Street segments selected for rehabilitation include: TH PLACE LUCIA LANE from MISSISSIPPI STREET (CSAH 6) to 68 TH AVENUE CHANNEL ROAD from MISSISSIPPI STREET (CSAH 6) to 68 TH 66 AVENUE from PIERCE STREET to CHANNEL ROAD th The streets and underground utilities along Lucia Lane, Channel Road and 66 Avenue within the project limits were initially constructed from the mid-1950s to the late 1970s. Since their initial construction, the streets have received routine sealcoat treatment, with the latest occurring in 2016, as well as other preventative surface maintenance. th Existing street widths are 30 feet and 35 feet for 66Avenue and Lucia Ln/Channel Rd, respectively, and all streets provide 2-way traffic with no shoulder striping from Mississippi Street (CSAH 6) to the neighborhood to the north. Construction records and pavement core data indicate existing pavement thicknesses ranging from 3 to 5 inches and an underlying aggregate base of 2 to 4 inches. Each street is categorized as a local city street with approximate Annual Average Daily Traffic th (AADT) of 600, 800 and less than 500 for Lucia, Channel and 66Avenue,respectively. Heavy traffic along these street segments is considered to be low to typical. Norton Avenue Street segments selected for rehabilitation include: NORTON AVENUE from CENTRAL AVENUE (CSAH 35) to WESTERN TERMINUS The street and underground utilities along Norton Avenue were originally constructed in the late 1960s. Since its initial construction, the street has received routine sealcoat treatment as part of the City’s roadway maintenance program, with the last occurring in 2016. Currently, the street is approximately 35 feet wide and provides 2-way traffic with no shoulder striping between Central Avenue (CSAH 35) and its western terminus. Construction records and 5 73 Jufn!:/ pavement core data indicate an existing pavement thickness ranging from 3 to 4.5 inches and an underlying stabilized subgrade of 4 inches. Norton Avenue is categorized as a local city street with an estimated Annual Average Daily Traffic of less than 500 vehicles per day. Heavy vehicle traffic along this segment is considered low to typical. Buchanan Street Street segments selected for rehabilitation include: RD BUCHANAN STREET from CITY LIMITS to 53 AVENUE The street and underground utilities along Buchanan Street were originally constructed from the late 1950s to early 1960s. In 2003, the street was reconstructed as part of the City’s 2003 Street Improvement Project No. ST2003-1 where it received 3.5 inches of bituminous pavement, 6 inches of aggregate base and concrete curb & gutter. The street has also received routine maintenance throughout its life, including sealcoat treatment, with the last occurring in 2017. rd The street is currently 30 feet wide and provides 2-way traffic with no shoulder striping from 53 Avenue to the City’s boundary with Columbia Heights to the south. Construction records and pavement core data indicate an existing pavement thickness of 3.5 to 4.5 inches and an underlying aggregate base thickness of 6 to 8 inches. Buchanan Street is categorized as a local city street and receives an approximate Annual Average Daily Traffic of less than 500 vehicles per day. Heavy truck traffic along this segment is considered low to typical. 6 74 Jufn!:/ Proposed Improvements Overview The total project area includes approximately 1.2 miles ofproposed street improvementsacross threedistinct project areas. The proposed improvements include pavement rehabilitationand spot replacement of concrete curb & gutter in addition to improvements to the City’s existing water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer networks. Due to varying size and scope amongtheproject areas, staff conducted preliminary public outreach with project residents using acombination ofin-person open house for the Lucia th Lane/Channel Road/66Avenueproject area and virtual informational presentation uploaded to the City’s project webpage for the remaining project areas. Invitations for the open house and virtual presentation were mailed to residents and property owners in the project areas in September 2023. A project questionnaire was included with the mailed invitations to encourage resident feedback and proactively coordinate with residents on future construction. Staff will compile resident feedback from the open house and questionnaires and address any comments and concerns in the final design as is feasible. Staff has also conducted a Living Streets evaluation of the project area and will address the findings as feasible in the design of the project. The Worksheet has been included as Figure E of the appendices. In July 2023, Resolution No. 2023-78 was adopted by the City Council to initiate the 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2024-01 and prepare a preliminary report, plans and specifications. StreetImprovements Street and pavement improvementsare determined based upon severalfactors including the current pavement condition, last majorroadwaymaintenance, and the need for coordinated utility improvements. The primary pavement rehabilitation methodsproposed for this projectarefull- depth reclamation (FDR)and mill& overlay. Full-depth reclamation grinds and reduces the existing pavement to aggregate for in- place reuse in the roadway base. Mill & overlay preserves some of the existing Exhibit1.Full-depth pavement reclamation. pavement, partially grinding and removing the pavement to a specified depth. In both instances, new asphalt is then installed to match the existing roadway conditions.In addition to the proposed pavement rehabilitation methods, each project streetwould also receive spot replacement of severely damaged or heaved concrete curb & gutter as well asmiscellaneous utility improvements. 7 75 Jufn!:/ To verify existing roadway constructionand evaluate the underlying soil conditions in each project location, geotechnical exploration was performed by Braun Intertec. Additional pavement coring was conducted along each project street by Streets Division staff to evaluate existing pavement thicknesses. The resulting typical roadway sections for each project street have been included as Figure F of the Appendices. An overview of the existing roadway conditions and recommended pavement improvements for each project street are summarized below: th Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66Avenue Construction records and pavement coredata along th Lucia Lane, Channel Road and 66Avenue indicate existingpavement thicknesses ranging from 3 to 5 inches with an underlying aggregate base thickness of 2 to 4inches. Further geotechnical exploration of the roadway core by Braun Intertec indicates a subgrade of sand to silty sand, which provides a suitable sub-base for roadway construction. Current pavement distressingas seen in Exhibits 2 and 3indicate advanced pavement deterioration typical with a roadway of this age. Frequent and Exhibit2.LuciaLanelooking south. severe fatigue cracking also indicatespotential failures in the underlying aggregate base. Based upon the existing roadway sections, pavement distressing and underlying soil conditions, staff recommends a full-depth reclamation and pavement rehabilitation across all street segments in this project area. The fortified reclaimed aggregate base section would be overlayed with a 3.5” bituminous pavement section, installed in two lifts consistent with the City’s typical urban roadway section. Traffic Modifications (Lucia Lane) Exhibit3.Channel Roadlooking south. In addition to the proposed pavement rehabilitation th along the Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66Avenue project area, Engineering Division staff evaluated the feasibility of a cul-de-sac conversion of Lucia Lane and other traffic modifications to address historic traffic volume/speed concerns in area. Since 2018, Engineering Division and Public Safetystaff have responded to resident concerns on traffic volume/speed along Lucia Lane. Traffic data has been collected since that time and temporary traffic modifications, including temporary speed bump installation along Lucia Lane and one-way th conversion of the street at 68Place, have been employed to present. With the project’s proposed 8 76 Jufn!:/ street improvements, there exists acost-effective opportunity to employ permanent traffic measures in this location. At the project open house in September 2023, Engineering Division staff proposed the cul-de-sac th conversion of Lucia Lane at 68Place to project residents along Lucia Lane and Channel Road. The preliminary cul-de-sac design presented can be seen in Exhibit 4.Project residents along Lucia Lane south of the cul-de-sac were largely supportive of the cul- de-sac conversion. Some road users north of the proposed cul-de-sac expressed concerns that the design would be restrictive to traffic north of the cul- Exhibit4.Lucia Lane cul-de-sac conversion. de-sac, forcing road users to access those properties from Central Avenue (Trunk Highway 65). The Engineering Division will consider all feedback received on the proposed traffic modifications and address any comments or concerns in the final design as feasible. Additional considerations with the final design will include improvements to existing surface water quality features and pedestrian routes in the area. th There remains the possibility of implementing additional traffic control measures along 68Avenue and Channel Road (one-way conversion, speed bumps, etc.) following completion of the project, if warranted. Following construction, Engineering Division staff will monitor traffic behavior in the project area and identify volume/speed criteria for the addition of such measures. Norton Avenue Construction records and pavement core data along Norton Avenue indicate an existing pavement thickness ranging from 3 to 4.5 inches with an underlying stabilized base thickness of 4 inches. Further geotechnical exploration of the roadway core by Braun Intertec indicates a subgrade of silty sand, suitable for roadway construction and not requiring subgrade correction. The current pavement distressing as seen in Exhibit 5indicates a significant deterioration of the existing pavement. Exhibit5.Norton Avenue looking east. Additionally, severe fatigue cracking indicates potential failures in the underlying aggregate base. 9 77 Jufn!:/ In order to address the deteriorating pavement and aggregate base conditions, staff recommends a full-depth reclamation and pavement rehabilitation. The fortified reclaimed aggregate base section would be overlayed with a 3.5” bituminous pavement section, installed in two lifts and consistent with the City’s typical urban roadway section. Buchanan Street Construction records and geotechnical data along Buchanan Street indicate an existing pavement thickness of 3.5 to 4.5 inches with an underlying aggregate base thickness of 6 inches. Further geotechnical exploration of the roadway core by Braun Intertec indicates a subgrade of silty sand, which provides a suitable sub-base for roadway construction. Present pavement distressing, as visible in Exhibit 6, indicate a top-down wear of the existing surface consistent with “stripping” of the existing seal coat as recently seen in other street segments in the City. The surface-level distressing shows no indication of Exhibit6.Buchanan Streetlooking south. deeper deterioration of the roadway base. Based upon the existing roadway section, current pavement distress and underlying soil conditions, staff recommends a 1” mill and pavement overlay along theproject area. It is anticipated that a pavement mill and overlay should result in a pavement surface lasting 20 years or more. It should be noted that reflective cracking from the remaining existing pavement is to be expected after such mill and resurfacing. This distressing cannot be controlled without a full reconstruction of the roadway. Water Utility Improvements Coordinated improvements to the City’s water distribution system are an efficient and cost- effective method of maintaining the City’s existing utility infrastructure and ensuring a resilient, quality water supply in the future. In preparation for the project, the existing water main, fire hydrants and other system appurtenances within the project area werereviewed by Utilities Divisionstaff. Replacement or rehabilitation of these systems was then identified based upon age and functionality. The proposed improvements to the water utility system in conjunction with the project include thereplacement of approximately 1,600lineal feet (LF) of water main, 12 fire hydrants and the rehabilitationreplacementof other appurtenancesproject-wide. 10 78 Jufn!:/ th Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66Avenue Proposed water utility improvements inthe th Avenueproject Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66 area include the removal and replacement of approximately 1,600lineal feet (LF) of existing water main along Channel Roadas well as replacement of sevenfire hydrants andother miscellaneoussystem improvements. The water main, fire hydrants and other system infrastructure to be replaced or rehabilitated have been identified by Utilities Divisionstaff due to their age and reduced utility. Exhibit7.Water main replacement. Replacement of the existing water main and fire hydrants would occur in the location of the existing utility and would include replacement of other system appurtenances such as gate valves.Additionally, the water main replacement work along Channel Road would include the reconnection of existing water services and replacement of curb stops on the short side of the water main. Buchanan Street Proposed water utility improvements along the Buchanan Street project area include the removal and replacement of twofire hydrants and rehabilitation of threeexisting gate valves. These hydrants and valveshave been identified by Public Works staff during preliminary review due to their age and reduced utility. Hydrant assembly replacement would occur in the location of the existing hydrants and would additionally include the replacement of Exhibit8.Fire hydrant assembly replacement. the hydrant gate valve to the existing water main. Rehabilitation of the existing gate valves would include the replacement of bolts throughout the valve assembly and installation of a new valve box to the surface. Norton Avenue Proposed water utility improvements along the Norton Avenue project area include the replacement of threefire hydrants and rehabilitation of oneexisting gate valve.The need for these improvements were identified by Public Works staff during review for the project due to their age and reduced utility. Hydrant assembly replacement would occur in the location of the existing hydrants and would additionally include the replacement of the hydrant gate valve to the existing water main. Rehabilitation of the existing gate valve would include the replacement of bolts throughout the valve assembly and installation of a new valve box to the surface. 11 79 Jufn!:/ Sanitary Sewer Improvements In preparation for the project, Utilities Division staff evaluated the existing sanitary sewer main, structures and surface facilities across each project location. Staff did not identify any severe defects with the existing system and there are currently no major proposed improvements to the sanitary sewer system in any project locations. However, there will be improvements to system surface features, namely manhole castings, in concurrence with each project area’s street improvements. Existing surface features will be salvaged or replaced and reset as part of this work. In coordination with the project, staff also will provide a complimentary inspection service to project residents to televise existing sewer service laterals for severe root intrusion, deterioration or other defects. Property owners have been notified and may coordinate with the Sewer Division to complete a video inspection of their service line. Any subsequent cleaning or repair services for resident service laterals are born by and are the responsibility of the property owner, per City Code. Storm Sewer Improvements During review of the existing storm sewer system throughout the project, Utilities Division staff identified the need for rehabilitation or replacement of three existing block-fabricated drainage structures along Channel Road and Buchanan Street based upon their existing condition and the presence of infiltration. Staff will evaluate the existing conditions of the structures and rehabilitate via spray-in liner or replace with precast concrete structures. Additional improvements to the existing storm sewer system across all project areas will include the spot replacement of severely damaged or heaved concrete curb & gutter as well as the replacement of existing catch basin and manhole castings in poor condition and readjustment of other surface facilities located in the curb replacements or pavement area. Water Quality Improvements In addition to the previously detailed improvements to the City’s underground utility networks, City project staff evaluated other opportunities to improve stormwater quality through the addition of various best management practices (BMPs). City project staff has worked closely with the Anoka Conservation District (ACD) to evaluate the existing drainage networks within the City and identify potential locations for water quality improvements. The location of proposed water quality BMPs have been selected based upon the existing drainage network and location of greatest water quality improvement. 12 7: Jufn!:/ th Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66Avenue Proposed water quality improvements along th the Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66Avenue project area include the construction ofa hydrodynamic separator structure along Channel Road and three raingardens throughout the project area. Other minor water quality improvements would include maintenance of the existing surface drainage swale at the northern terminus of Lucia Lane. The hydrodynamic separator structure along Channel Road would be installed downstream of the street’s inletting catch basins and would aid in the reduction of phosphorus and Exhibit9.Raingarden water quality feature. suspended solids before stormwater discharging to Rice Creek. Similarly, the addition of rain gardens along the project corridor would serve as a first line of water quality improvement as stormwater is collected, reducing the total phosphorus and suspended solids entering the storm sewer system. The proposed water quality improvements would be eligible for cost-share withthe Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) through their Stormwater Management Grant program. City project staff will continue to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed BMPs and pursue grant funding for implementationwith the project. Buchanan Street Proposed water quality improvements along the Buchanan Street project area include the construction of a hydrodynamic separator structure and raingarden, both aimed at the reduction of total phosphorus and suspended solids entering the storm sewer network. Selection of the proposed BMPs and their locations are consistent with the future projects identified in the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization’s (MWMO) Stormwater Retrofit Analysis of the drainage area in 2019. The proposed water quality improvements would be eligible for cost-share with the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) through their Action Grant program. City project staff will continue to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed BMPs and pursue grant funding for implementationwith the project. Norton Avenue There are currently no proposed water quality improvements within the Norton Avenue project area.As project design progresses, Engineering Division staff will evaluate the addition of minor water quality improvements within the project area and implement as feasible. 13 81 Jufn!:/ Private Utility Coordination The proposed project scope will be provided to private utilities in an effort to coordinate system repairs and upgrades with the upcoming project construction. At this time, no private utilities have provided notification of upcoming upgrades or repairs in the proposed project area. Estimated Costs The project cost is estimated to be $1,48,00.00. This estimate includes contingency for minor changes in project scope as well as 5% reserve for project engineering and administrative services. All costs expressed in this report are preliminary but are expected to stay within the budgeted amount. An itemized breakdown of estimated project costs can be found on Figure B of the Appendices. Funding Sources Street and utility rehabilitation projects are typically funded through a combination of sources including the Minnesota State Aid System (MSAS) funding, utility enterprise funds, and special assessments. Costs associated with the street rehabilitation work are subject to special assessment; utility work is not proposed to be subject to special assessment. A breakdown of the preliminary project budget and special assessment funding can be found in Figure C of the Appendices. Street Improvements Proposed street and pavement improvements with the project are estimated at $673,000 and will be funded using monies from special assessments to benefitting properties as well as funds from the City’s MSAS account. The City will assess benefitting properties in accordance with its Roadway Major Maintenance Financing Policy for local streets. In total, special assessments will provide approximately $445,050 based on the preliminary project scope and is currently only included for the proposed rehabilitated street segments. Using the preliminary project scope and previous applications of the City’s assessment policy for Low Density Residential (single family, duplex, etc.) and Non-Low Density Residential (high density residential, commercial, etc.) properties, staff have estimated the following preliminary special assessments: $3,600 per unit and $46.76 per front-foot for low density residential and non-low th density residential properties along the Lucia Lane/Channel Road/66 Avenue project area, respectively, $3,200 per unit for low density residential properties along the Norton Avenue project area, and $1,350 per unit for low density residential properties along the Buchanan Street project area. It should be noted that the three project areas were not combined for special benefit evaluations due to varying proposed improvements and property types as well as the lack of a combined benefit between distinct project areas. Variances in the preliminary special assessment rates among project areas are a reflection of these considerations. 14 82 Jufn!:/ The remaining balance of approximately $227,950for proposed pavement improvements will be reimbursed from the City’s MSAS account. The proposed 2024-2028 Capital Investment Program (CIP) currently identifies $170,000 in State Aid funding as a capital expenditure in 2024, however, additional State Aid funds are available as construction costs funded by special assessments are also eligible for State Aid reimbursement. Water UtilityImprovements Proposed improvements to the water main distribution system are estimated at $595,800 and will be funded using monies from the City’s Water Utility Fund. In 2024, $675,000 in funding is identified within the CIP as a capital expenditure. Sanitary Sewer Improvements Improvements to the sanitary sewer collection system with the project are estimated at $19,600 and will be funded using monies from the City’s Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund. In 2024, $50,000 in funding is identified within the CIP as a capital expenditure. Storm Sewer Improvements Proposed improvements to the storm sewer conveyance network and additional water quality improvements are estimated at $196,000 and will be funded using monies from the City’s Storm Water Utility Fund. In 2024, $215,000 in funding is identified within the CIP as a capital expenditure. An additional $50,000 in funding from the Storm Water Utility Fund is identified in the CIP for 2024 as a capital expenditure for watershed BMP implementation, which would also contribute to funding the proposed water quality improvements within the system. Construction Construction sequencing will include access considerations for all properties. Minor exceptions to this may include critical construction items including asphalt and concrete construction, which is most likely to occur during weekday daytime hours. For all street segments, the project will be phased in a manner to best preserve access. Similarly, minor disruptions to utility services may occur during the project but this will be limited to several hours at most. In order to provide the best access and eliminate conflicts between contractors, the project is proposed to start in May and conclude by September. Summary The work proposed for the 2024 Street Rehabilitation project number ST2024-01 is consistent with the City of Fridley’s Active Transportation Plan, Long-Term Street Maintenance Program, 2024-2028 Capital Investment Program and can be fully funded by its 2024 Budget. The project is cost-effective, necessary and feasible from an engineering standpoint as described in this report.

At the hearing, the City Council and staff heard all those who wished to address the Council regarding the proposed improvements. Among the comments received at the hearing, residents from the Channel Road project area expressed concern over current traffic volume/speed along the street and requested the implementation of additional traffic calming measures in conjunction with the project. In addition, the Council was served a petition in 2023 requesting measures to control speed on Channel Road from residents along its segment. On February 6, 2024, City staff held an additional project open house meeting for the residents along and adjacent to Channel Road to gauge interest in the implementation of various traffic calming options along Channel Road in conjunction with the 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2024-01. A total of sixty-three (63) property owners along Channel Road and the adjacent streets were invited via public mailing to review traffic calming options, provide feedback to staff and vote on desired options. Those unable to attend the meeting were encouraged to review the traffic calming options and provide feedback via an online survey available on the City’s project webpage. Meeting materials presented for the six (6) traffic calming options below included typical design, potential effect on traffic speed/volume and other design considerations: Option 1: Speed Humps 32 9: Jufn!:/ Option 2: Speed Cushions (Speed Pads) Option 3: Curb Bump-Outs Option 4: Realigned Intersection Option 5: Traffic Circle th Option 6: One-Way Conversion (68Avenue) The materials presented at the meeting were also made available on the project webpage for those unable to attend. Meeting attendance included thirteen (13) residents from the project area as well as Councilmember-at-Large, David Ostwald. Five (5) Engineering Division staff were also in attendance to answer questions regarding the various traffic calming measures. Of the options presented, attendees voted in support of a traffic circle at the intersection of Channel Road & th 66Avenue and the installation of traffic humps along Channel Road. Attendees voted in th opposition to the installation of curb bump-outs along Channel Road and the conversion of 68 Avenue to one-way westbound traffic only. Finally, attendees were generally neutral to slightly opposed to speed cushions along Channel Road and the realigned intersection at Channel Road th & 66 Avenue. In addition to the feedback received at the meeting, five (5) online survey responses have been received to date. The results of the online survey are consistent with the results of the physical meeting, favoring the traffic circle and speed humps and opposing a one- th way conversion at 68Avenue. Staff presented to City Council at the February 26, 2023, City Council Conference Meeting, the Channel Road Traffic Calming Options. Staff presented the potential traffic calming options, the feedback received, and the project schedule. From the discussion with City Council and from the feedback received from the public, staff believes the two traffic calming options to be feasible, and is working on preliminary design to incorporate one or both of these elements. Those two elements are a traffic circle with th additional concrete curb and gutter modifications at the intersection of 66Avenue and Channel Road and adding a set of speed humps along Channel Road between Mississippi Street and the first curve on Channel Road. Staff have reviewed the costs of adding these traffic calming measures and have estimated that adding a traffic circle would be approximately $10,000, and the speed humps would be $5,000 per each. The total funding required for adding traffic calming along Channel Road would be approximately $25,000. Staff recommends these improvements are paid for through traffic funding included in the 2024-2028 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and outside the special assessment to any benefitting properties. The CIP has the budget to fund the additional traffic calming measures and staff has determined in this case that 1) this street has a high number of vehicles that travel through this corridor to higher volume roadway connections at Mississippi Street and Trunk Highway 65, and 2) the XXX’ length of the straight street without any traffic control is excessive and promotes 33 :1 Jufn!:/ increased driver speed.Therefore, the amendment to the feasibility report includes the CIP- source of funding in lieu of increasing special assessments to any benefitting properties. Financial Impact Funding for the additional project components is feasible and provided by the Traffic Safety Upgradesitem in the Capital Investment Program.

A total of sixty-three (63) property owners along Channel Road and the adjacent streets were invited via public mailing to review trafficcalming options, provide feedback to staff and vote on desired options(sample letter and meeting sign-in attached). Those unable to attend the meeting were encouraged to review the traffic calming options and provide feedback via an online survey available on the City’s project webpage. Meeting materials presented for the six (6) traffic calming options below included typical design, potential effect on traffic speed/volume and other design considerations: Option 1: Speed Humps Option 2: Speed Cushions (Speed Pads) Option 3: Curb Bump-Outs Option 4: Realigned Intersection Option 5: Traffic Circle th Option 6: One-Way Conversion (68Avenue) The materials presented at the meeting were also made available on the project webpage for those unable to attend(see attached). Meeting attendance includedthirteen (13) residentsfrom the project area as well as Councilmember-at-Large,David Ostwald. Five (5) Engineering Division staff were also in attendance to answer questions regarding the various traffic calming measures. Of the options th presented, attendeesvoted in support ofa traffic circle at the intersection of Channel Road & 66 Avenue and the installation of traffic humps along Channel Road. Attendees voted in opposition th to the installation of curb bump-outs along Channel Road and the conversion of 68Avenue to one-way westbound traffic only. Finally, attendees were generally neutral to slightly opposed to :4 Jufn!:/ th speed cushions along Channel Road and the realigned intersection at Channel Road & 66 Avenue. In addition to the feedback received at the meeting, five (5) online survey responses have been received to date. The results of the online survey are consistent with the results of the physical meeting, favoring the traffic circle and speed humps and opposing a one-way conversion th at 68 Avenue. Results of in-person and online survey voting to date have been attached. A new suggestion received from a couple of the residents at the meeting expressed interest in adding concrete sidewalk to the street in conjunction with the project. Improvements to the City’s pedestrian facilities are currently prioritized in accordance with the City’s Active Transportation Plan, updated in 2020, targeting highly trafficked routes and high-density residential or employment areas. The Channel Road corridor is not currently identified in the Plan as a priority route, however, sidewalk construction could be added to the project scope by way of neighborhood petition. All costs associated with the sidewalk construction would be assessed to the benefitting property owners. one side of Channel Road from th Mississippi Street to 68 Avenue total to approximately $200,000, with an average special assessment of $3,300 per benefitting property. Staff will relay the information above to the interested property owners along the corridor and provide residents with a petition for pedestrian facilities. Based upon the public feedback received and internal discussions with City operations personnel, staff propose further analysis and demonstration, if warranted, of speed hump and traffic circle traffic calming measures along Channel Road. The results of this analysis and a final th recommendation on traffic calming implementation would be presented at the February 26 , 2024 City Council Conference Meeting.
