C. 4. .rNiri SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director DATE: 10/07/2014 SUBJECT: Vierling Drive Temporary Connection from CR 69 to Taylor Street(E) (ADDED 10/7/14) Action Sought Approve a motion requesting that MnDOT & Scott County do not remove the temporary road connection of Vierling Drive from CR 69 to Taylor Street. Background Scott County working with MnDOT is constructing a new interchange at TH 169 & CR 69 which is opening soon. Part of the contract was to construct a temporary road connection on Vierling Dive though MnDOT property. See attached drawing for location. This temporary road connection was to be removed at the end of the project per MnDOT. The City has been in negotiation with MnDOT for the purchase of parcels 37 and 43 which included the Vierling Drive right of way. Part of the negotiations was for consideration of leaving the temporary road connection in and for the City to take over the roadway responsibilities. The purchase agreement for parcels 37 and 43 has not been completed but an offer letter is expected soon and for Council consideration at its November 5th, 2014 meeting. The purpose of this agenda item is for the Council to request from MnDOT and Scott County to leave the road in place and for the City to take over maintenance responsibilities. The cost of removing the temporary road connection in the contract is $12,406.00. The cost of constructing the temporary road connection was $67,040.00. MnDOT may want reimbursement of the initial construction but that is to be determined. Staff will be applying for Local Road Improvement Project funds for the permanent Vierling Drive connection and if successful, this could be a 2015 project. Recommendation Staff does not have a particular recommendation as this connection did not exist previously. However, it does provide a route between interchanges of CR 69 and CR 15 and to the Shakopee Town Square Mall. Budget Impact The City will be responsible for future removal costs and possible reimbursement costs to MnDOT. Relationship to Vision This supports Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of well-trained, caring, and professional employees. Requested Action Approve a motion requesting that MnDOT& Scott County do not remove the temporary road connection of Vierling Drive from CR 69 to Taylor Street.
