Home My WebLink About4.F.4. Request to Rename County Rd 83 General Business 4. F. 4. SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kris Wilson, Acting City Administrator DATE: 04/07/2015 SUBJECT: Request to Rename County Rd 83 (D) Action Sought The Council is asked to review the attached letter from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) requesting the renaming of County Road 83 south of Highway 169 to Mystic Lake Dr. and provide direction to staff regarding desired next steps. Background County Road 83 runs north and south through the cities of Shakopee and Prior Lake, intersecting with both Highway 169 and County Rd. 42 along the way. In addition to a road number assigned by the County, the road also carries a road name selected by the city. Currently County Road 83 is called Mystic Lake Drive south of County Rd. 42 (in Prior Lake) and Canterbury Road north of County Rd. 42 (in Shakopee). The SMSC is requesting that the spot at which the road name changes be moved north to the intersection with 169. This would result in the road north of 169 remaining "Canterbury Road" and the entire road south of 169 being "Mystic Lake Drive." They note that this is an opportune time to consider the name change as the signage at the intersection of 169 and County Rd 83 will already be impacted by the addition of a third southbound lane leading up to the County Rd. 83 exit. Factors to consider relative to this request include the impact on property owners along the roadway and the naming rules and regulations of Scott County. As noted in the attached letter, the SMSC is a major land owner along the roadway, but there are also six other property owners who would be impacted by a name change for this section of roadway. The early indication from Canterbury Park officials is that they would not object to the change for the road south of 169. Budget Impact This item will have no budgetary impact for the City as the SMSC is willing to cover the cost of new signage. Relationship to Vision This item relates to Goal D: Maintain, improve and create and strong partnerships with other public and private sector entities. Recommendation I recommend that Council direct staff to research the necessary steps to implement a change to the road name, reach out to Scott County and impacted property owners regarding the potential name change and return at a future Council meeting with a proposed action item. Staff will work to accomplish this by the April 21 Council meeting if at all possible, given the desire to coordinate any change with the 169 lane addition project scheduled for this spring. Requested Action If the Council concurs, it is asked to direct staff to work with Scott County to identify the necessary actions to initiate a change to the road name, communicate the potential change of the road name to impacted property owners, and return to a future Council meeting with a proposed action item.

The portion of CSAH 83 lying in Prior Lake is already named Mystic Lake Drive. The attached drawing illustrates the area of concern. This request is time critical. The additional lane on T.H 169 that supports funded by the Community will start construction in April or May of 2015. Signage on this roadway will be very expensive due to the required number and size of the signs and the large support structures. These costs are part of the project design, construction and management costs being paid by the Community. We would like to avoid an expensive change and an unnecessary traffic interference to alter the signs later. Scott County Highway 83 lies in both Prior Lake and Shakopee. It is a County highway regulated and maintained by Scott County. The portion lying in the City of Prior Lake is named Mystic Lake Drive. It extends from the roads Scott County Highway 82 north to the Prior Lake City limit approximately one half mile north of Scott County Highway 42 where it enters Shakopee and the name changes to Canterbury Road. The Community believes changing the roadway name to Mystic Lake Drive for the portion north of the Shakopee City limit to Minnesota State Trunk Highway 169 will improve public safety and reduce confusion on the part of travelers. Mystic Lake Casino and Hotel is the major destination south of U.S. Highway 169. Canterbury Downs is a major destination north of that highway. The roadway name already changes to Mystic Lake Drive farther south near CSAH 42. This situation can be confusing and creates some issues with automobile GPS systems since the roadway name change occurs"midstream"in the trip. Highway 169 is a more logical location for this name change. The management at Canterbury supports this change. The Community recognizes that there may be costs and inconvenience inherent in this process. If the roadway name were changed,the Community would pay all costs for new or replacement signage on Shakopee streets and highway 83. The Community is the major landowner along the affected roadway. There are seven other known landowners with addresses directly on CSAH 83,primarily on the west side between CSAH 16 and CSAH 42. The Community requests your assistance in making this name change. Roadway names are controlled by Cities in Scott County. The City of Shakopee does not have direct ordinance guidance for this type of request but in the past,these issues have been handled as a direct action by the City Council. Please let me know what action would be appropriate for the next step in this request. Sincerely, W -w� MIL William M.
