MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Assistant
RE: Acquisition of Star City Signs
DATE: September 18, 1987
Introduction
Since we have now been approved as a Star City, it would be
appropriate for the City of Shakopee to order Star City signs to
be placed at the major entrances into Shakopee..
Background.
Star City signs can be acquired from the Minnesota Department of
Transportation. They are the only manufacturer of the Star City
signs. In accordance with the rules of the Star City Program and
the Department of Transportation, Star City signs may only be
placed along State highways. Therefore, it would be appropriate
for the City of Shakopee to order three Star City signs. The
total cost for the Star City signs including manufacturing and
installation is $816.75.
In the 1987 budget we have not allowed for this expenditure.
However, adequate funding does exist within the contingency fund.
I would therefore like to request the City Council to consider
authorizing the expenditure of funds from the contingency fund in
an amount not to exceed $816.75 for the acquisition and
installation of the Star City signs.
Alternatives
1. Authorize the expenditure from the contingency fund in the
amount of $816.75 for the acquisition and installation of
the Star City signs.
2. Wait until next year's budget cycle to purchase the Star
City signs.
3. Do nothing.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends alternative No. 1.
Action Requested
Move to authorize the expenditure of funds from the contingency
fund in the amount of $816.75 for the acquisition and
installation of the three Star City signs.

Memo to: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
From: Dennis R. Kraft, Community Development Director
Subject: Minnesota Street Project Recognition Event
Date: September 25,1987
The staff has had an opportunity to finalize plans for the
Minnesota Street project recognition event. There is an apparent
problem with the launching of a balloon at 10 A.M. Thermal
conditions in the atmosphere from the period of about 8 A.M. to
about 4 P.M. are not conducive to safe and comfortable
ballooning. Therefore we are planning to have a drawing for the
balloon ride at the event on Saturday October 10 and then allow
the winner to schedule the ride at another time.
We are also going to refer to this event as a continental
breakfast and serve coffee, rolls, orange juice and other things
commonly associated with a continental breakfast.
The breakfast will be held at the end of the Minnesota
Street cul-de-sac. A fly will be erected to provide protection in
the event of rainy weather.
It is estimated that the total cost of the event will be
about $300, including the cost of the balloon ride.

MEMO '" / oal—
MEMO: JOHN ANDERSON
FROM: JIM KARKANEN, PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: FLUSHER SPECIFICATIONS
DATE: SEPT. 24, 1987
INTRODUCTION:
The 1987 Capital Equipment Budget provides $30,000 to
purchase a flusher/tank unit to mount on a truck chassis which we
will provide for the installation. Attached, are the
specifications used to describe the replacement tank/flusher.
Opening bid letting date is scheduled for Monday, October 19th,
1987, at which time we will open the bids, tabulate them, and
make a recommendation to Council to award the bid to the lowest
responsible bidder at the October 20th Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
We are writing our specifications to describe a combination
2,500 gallon water tank unit which has an auxiliary engine
mounted on the rear of the unit which provides pumping power to
activate 4 nozzles for street flushing, or 2 nozzles for rear
discharge.This tank/flusher unit is an essential, highly- used
piece of equipment which is used for a variety of operations with
all of our departments. This unit is used for street flushing,
for sweeper operation during the spring cleanup, during sealcoat
pickup operations, dust control, and wetting leaves for fall
sweeping. The Sewer department uses the tanker unit for flushing
all of our dead end manholes, as well as cleaning the manholes,
if needed, or flushing sewer mains which may be sluggish. The
Park department uses the unit for making the ice base for the
skating rinks, and also for grooming the ice rinks during the
daily operation and maintenance of the ice surface. They also
use the flusher unit for cleaning picnic shelter areas, watering
trees, hosing bleachers, etc.. We have also assisted the Fire
Dept. by hauling water to rural fire calls.
Our present tank/flusher is a 1967 Ford which we purchased
used from the City of St. Paul, when they purchased a newer
replacement unit. Needless to say, the current unit has provided
both communities with a lot of service throughout the years.
We had budgeted $30,000 the past several years hoping that we
could locate a good used unit, but all of the flushers on the
market have been run out in service years, and we could not
justify such a capital investment in a used flusher that would
not give us a good return for our investment. The $30,000 will
be used only for the tank/flusher purchase.
We were made aware of the Ford tanker that the Fire Dept. was
going to replace, and it was our intention to install a new
tank/flusher on their chassis and this would enable us to have a
functional unit for our needs. We have test driven their truck
and have determined that this truck is grossly underpowered for a
2,500 gallon tank and auxiliary engine that we would install on
it. I believe that this was one of the factors that Fire Dept.
considered before deciding that the truck was not adequate for
their needs. They had installed a 3,200 gallon tank on the truck
chassis and performs very sluggishly. We are intending to
install a 2,500 gallon tank on the truck, but the auxiliary
engine and plumbing will make the total gross weight about the
same as before so we can expect somewhat the same performance.
This Fire Dept. truck has a conventional cab which is not
appropriate for a flusher unit, which needs a cab over type
chassis in order to shorten the wheelbase for the needed
maneuverability. The Fire truck with our tank installation, can
be used in our opinion, for street flushing or water hauling
purposes, but the wheelbase of the tandem axles is too long for
maneuvering inside of the ice rinks, particularly in the hockey
rinks. The standard tank/flusher units are generally equipped
with a shorter wheelbase, and a cab over engine model is
generally used for this installation.
If we should decide to mount the tank unit on a more
appropriate truck, we would have to budget about $25,000 more for
the truck/chassis. We could possibly look into the used truck
market and see if there are any decent used cab over type trucks
which would fit our needs, and this would not require as large of
a truck investment. We could probably be spending about $15-
25,000 for the used truck.
If we decide to use the Fire Dept. truck, it will not do a
very good job for us in the rinks, and will be somewhat
underpowered, but we could mount our new tank/flusher on this
chassis until a different chassis was budgeted and purchased. The
tank conversion onto the newer chassis would take about 3 days by
an outside shop that specializes in these units.
At any rate, I would recommend that we purchase the tank as
specified, set October 19th as a bid opening date, and then make
a recommendation to Council to purchase another truck, always
keeping in mind that the Fire Dept. truck is available for a
temporary mounting because new truck delivery would be 150 days.
At the discretion of Council, we could appropriate approximately
$25,000 for the proper truck, and have the tank/flusher installed
as a factory installation. By this alternative, we could trade-
in our old tank/flusher truck, and also trade-in the Fire Dept.
truck and tank as a unit.
I
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set a bid letting date of October 19th, 1987, to open
bids for the tank/flusher unit with the intention to
purchase the tank/flusher unit as specified.
2. Install the new tank/flusher on the Fire Dept. truck
permanently.
3. Prepare specifications describing the proper truck
needed for the installation immediately, because it will
take about 150 days for the new truck to be delivered.
Use our old tank/flusher and the Fire Dept. truck and
tank as a trade-in.
4. Purchase the tank/flusher now, install it on the Fire
Dept. truck temporarily, then budget and prepare specs
for a new truck at a later date in the budget process.
5. Do not purchase the tank/flusher unit.
6. Postpone the purchase of the tank/flusher, and place it
in the 1988 budget, and bid it as a complete unit
mounted on a new truck.
Alternatives No. 1 & 3, or possibly No. 4.
The Capital Equipment Committee has approved the purchase of
the flusher/tanker and recommends immediate purchase of the unit.
They recommend further discussion on the committee level for the
truck purchase/decision on mounting. Because it will be some
time before the tank unit is fabricated, and the fact that the
Fire Dept. truck is not yet available, this will give us the time
needed for further discussion on further capital expenditure.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the Public Works Dept. to advertise for bids
for a new tank/flusher unit for the Street division.

MEMO: JOHN ANDERSON & CITY COUNCIL a4czN
FROM: JIM KARKANEN-PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: SNOWBLOWER SPECIFICATIONS
DATE: SEPT. 23, 1987
INDTRODUCTION:
The 1987 Capital Equipment Budget provides $37,000 to
replace our outdated Wausau snowblower. Attached, are the
specifications used to describe the replacement snowblower.
Opening bid letting date is scheduled for Monday, October 19th,
1987, at which time we will open the bids, tabulate them, and
make a recommendation to Council to award the bid to the lowest
responsible bidder at the October 20th Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
We are writing our specifications to favor a 2 -stage type
snowblower rather than a fan type, or single stage snowblower,
which operates at a much higher revolution to accomodate the
snow. There are several on the market, and these distributors
have been bidding them at several communities in the Metro area
the past year, notably, at Rosemount, Richfield and Bloomington.
The City of Fairmont recently used these type of specs, also..
In fact, the City of Bloomington issued specifications this past
spring, and left the specs open to "fan" type blowers, and had to
reject all the bids, rewrite the specs, and re -bid them using
bidders who could supply "no fan" type snowblowers. Our
2specifications will allow bids on the following acceptable
units:
SNOWGO Model MP -3D Itasca Equip. Co. Savage, Mn.
ROOT Model RB -8 Ruffridge-Johnson Co. Mpls. Mn.
SMI Model 3200 MacQueen Equip. Co. St. Paul, Mn
OVERAASEN Model UPV 135-2405 Boyum Equip. Co. Lakeville, Mn
The snowblowers listed should be bid within our budget
limitations, using our older snowblower as a trade-in unit.
This unit specified is to be installed on our Case W20C
front end loader with a "Quick hitch" type connection. This
hitch is used by both of our loaders on all of our equipment so
we can detach or reconnect in a matter of -seconds.
Our current snowblower is a Wausau Model 102-140SCD which is
a 2 -stage blower capable of loading trucks, or casting snow to
the side. A 2 -stage snowblower means that the receiving auger(s)
is geared to a much slower RPM than the fan (or paddle), which is
turning at a very high rate of speed in order to literally
"throw" the snow out at a great distance.
The front auger, which receives the snow and feeds it to the fan,
does not create a hazard for onlookers because Of its slower
speed, and will not normally spit out chunks of ice or hard
Packed snow, and will also break a shear pin in the auger stage
rather than shear the fan stage.
Our Wausau unit, which we purchased as a used unit for
$8700, was scheduled to be replaced about 5 years ago, but we
had to overhaul the engine, replace the drive train and spockets
before we could trade it in, so we had recommended that we use it
for several years in order to make the overhaul more cost
effective for the City.
The Capital Equipment has reviewed and approved this
expenditure.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize the Public Works Dept. to advertise for bids
for a new snowblower as specified, and set the bid
letting date for Monday, Oct. 19th, 1987.
2. Do not authorize the bid letting for a snowblower.
3. Authorize the bid letting date for a future date.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the Public Works Dept. to advertise for a new
snowblower with a bid letting date set at Monday, Oct. 19th,
1987.

MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
FROM: Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Starwood Traffic Consultant Proposals
DATE: September 25, 1987
Accompanying this memo are the consultant proposals for reviewing
the Starwood traffic data. It has been a challenge to have the
proposals prepared so quickly and consequently, I have not had a
chance to review them at this time. After reviewing the
proposals, if I have a specific recommendation, I will make
recommendation to Council at their September 29, 1987 meeting.

September 25, 1987 RE: TRAFFIC STUDY PROPOSED
AMPHITHEATER,
SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA
Mr. Ken Ashfield,
City Engineer
City of Shakopee
129 East First Street
Shakopee, Minnesota 55379
Dear Mr. Ashfield:
We appreciated receiving your recent call regarding the
opportunity to undertake a traffic study for the City of
Shakopee. The study would involve a review of documents related
to traffic generation and traffic impacts from the proposed
Amphitheater in the Canterbury Downs area.
We feel this would be an ideal study for SEH to undertake. We
are quite familiar with Shakopee and with the Canterbury Downs
area. As part of our work for a proposed horse racing track in
another community, we reviewed the traffic portions of the
environmental impact statement for the proposed Shakopee track in
detail. We also studied traffic patterns at numerous other horse
racing facilities throughout the United States. Mn/DOT and the
Metropolitan Council gave SEH high marks for traffic handling
concepts at the race track we were associated with and we
convinced Metropolitan Council staff to make adjustments to the
criteria they were using for evaluating racing traffic.
SEH has also worked for the Renaissance Festival, and in
providing a plan for handling approaching traffic. Since the
implementation of this plan, delays and congestion have been
substantially reduced. We are familiar with traffic in Shakopee
through previous proposals submitted for the downtown
redevelopment, our traffic work for Scott County, and follow-ups
on our Renaissance Festival work.
Because we have reviewed numerous traffic proposals in our work
for approximately 50 municipal clients, we are very comfortable
with the concepts of this traffic study. We review traffic
reports from other consultants and developers on a daily basis.
This includes all sizes of commercial development, subdivisions,
plan unit developments and industrial development as well as
occasionally reviewing unique or new concepts for the area. We
`+'='4 __'✓ SPA1 L CHIPPEWAF LS,
WISCONSN
I
Ken Ashfield, City Engineer
September 25, 1987
Page 2
are currently reviewing traffic studies by Barton-Aschmann
Associates in several communities including Inver Grove Heights
and Eagan.
Our traffic work in Shakopee would be to review the environmental
impact statement for Canterbury Downs and to review the
environmental assessment worksheet prepared for the Amphitheater.
We would also review a traffic study done by a citizen's group
and other documents prepared by the developer, City staff or
individuals. Existing traffic volumes, operations and problems
near the Amphitheater site and the impact of proposed roadway
improvements such as the Shakopee bypass and the new County Road
18 bridge would also be reviewed.
Our work would commence on September 29 following approval by the
City. The study would be completed by October 9 when a full
report must be submitted to your office. Information contained
in the report would be submitted verbally and presented to the
Council on October 13.
While all of the reviews and observations can be made and a
report written within this schedule, we are very uncomfortable
with the short time frame in which to meet and review our
findings with City staff or discuss our findings with the
developers' engineers. Normally, in our work, we will review all
documents and develop our findings in a relatively short time
frame. Then we meet to discuss these findings with the City
staff. We also review our findings with the developers'
engineers to verify all assumptions, interpretations, and data.
Generally, the developers' engineers will review our data and
frequently make modifications to their report to better reflect
our findings.
We follow this process so that the best information possible can
be presented to the governing bodies and the general public at a
meeting. In most cases, the developers are interested in
presenting factual information and in devising mitigating
measures to offset any problems which this traffic may create.
This process if important- in the case of the Shakopee
Amphitheater. If our traffic study determines that the
developers' report is essentially correct, we feel it would be
necessary to substantially document all of our findings to be
able to defend them in front of a potentially hostile crowd. I£
we are in disagreement with the developers report, it would also
be desirable to provide them with an opportunity to modify the
ON
Ken Ashfield, City Engineer

Page 3
report prior to the public meeting. If they do not or can not,
then we are again faced with the requirement to fully document
and present our findings, and becoming an adversary of the
developers' engineers at the public meeting.
During more than 20 years of. similar work, it has been our
experience that an agreement should be reached between the City
staff and the developer regarding traffic numbers, mitigating
measures, operational concerns and problems, and other traffic -
related matters prior to a public meeting. This will
significantly help to resolve the issue and make the final
decision easier for the City Planning Commission and City
Council. It also provides a better forum for discussion and
understanding by the general public.
We are therefore very reluctant to submit a proposal which
indicates we can undertake the traffic study within the time
frame that you indicated in our phone conversation. While a
traffic study can certainly be completed within seven working
days, we dont believe that the Planning Commission or the
general public would best be served by this rushed approach.
Even without any other projects to complete during this time
frame, it would be very difficult to do the reviews, make the
observations, prepare the findings, meet with the staff and
developer, allow them time to react, reach a final agreement,
prepare a report and prepare a presentation in this time frame.
Therefore, we are unable submit a proposal which agrees to the
deadlines indicated in your phone conservation. However, should
the matter be delayed so that a longer time frame is available
for the reviews, meetings, etc., we would be extremely interested
in undertaking the study. We believe SEH is the best -qualified
firm to undertake the review and to provide this service to the
City of Shakopee. We would welcome the opportunity to complete
this study on a slightly longer time frame.
Thank you very much for you consideration of SEH in what could be
a very interesting and challenging study.
Sincerely,

BRW recently assisted the City of Blaine in preparation of an Environmental
Assessment of a proposed site for a music center similar to the Starwood Music
Center project. In a related study, BRW is preparing an area -wide traffic cir-
culation study for the area of the City of Blaine which includes the proposed
music center. BRW has no interest in the Blaine music center site other than a
technical analysis of traffic issues. The technical review of the Starwood
Music Center EAW traffic analysis would be conducted in a similar manner, as a
technical study which does not advocate a position for or against the proposed
development.
STAFF ASSIGNMENT
The study will be directed by Mr. Erik 0. Ruehr, P.E., Senior Transportation
Engineer. He will conduct the necessary technical analyses, document the
results of the analysis, and attend the October 12 City Council meeting to pre-
sent the results of the study. Other members of BRW's staff will assist
Mr. Ruehr, as necessary.
Mr. Ruehr has extensive experience in the preparation of traffic impact analyses
and related environmental documents. His experience includes technical review
of traffic impact analyses prepared by others and preparation of traffic impact
analyses which were reviewed by outside agencies and consultants. Mr. Ruehr's
resume is attached to this letter.
Mr. Ken Ashfeld

September 25, 1987
Mr. Ken Ashfeld
City Engineer
City of Shakopee
129 East First Avenue
Shakopee, Minnesota 55379-1376
Dear Mr. Ashfeld:
Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff is pleased to submit its qualifications
and experience in response to your telephone call on September 23, 1987.
We understand that the City of Shakopee will select a transportation
consultant (September 29, 1987) to review and evaluate the documentation
and reports on the proposed Starwood Amphitheater project in the City of
Shakopee. The evaluation with findings, conclusions and recommendations
(if appropriate) are to be reported to your office by noon on October 9,
1987 -- for consideration by the City Council at its October 13, 1987
meeting (with the consultant in attendance). We propose to approach the
evaluation with the following services and personnel.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1
A general, independent determination of traffic volumes and movements in
the study area for the forecast year -- based upon existing and proposed
land use consistent with the plan or planning of the City. Existing
traffic counts and other readily available information will be utilized.
(The purpose of this broad "back -of -the -envelope" analysis is to determine
the overall reasonableness of the reported traffic volumes in the impact
area of the proposed development.)
Task 2
A detailed evaluation of the assumptions and methodology utilized in the
four reports that pertain to the proposed development -- and the conclu-
sions reached. This evaluation would be based upon accepted practice in
the fields of transportation planning and traffic engineering -- and the
experience of HNTB with similar projects

Task 3
Report of findings and conclusions. The report would include the analysis,
evaluation, findings, conclusions and, if appropriate, recommendations.
KEY PERSONNEL
We would essentially use three people on this project in order to meet the
October 9 deadline -- Larry Dallam, Hatt Huber, and Ron Stehman. Larry
would be the project manager and overall reviewer, evaluator, and reporter;
Matt, as a subconsultant to HNTB, would perform the independent traffic
analysis of Task 1; and Ron would be responsible for the detailed evalua-
tion of Task 2. Tasks 1 and 2 would be done concurrently. Resumes of the
professional background and experience of these key personnel are attached.
Larry Dallam's almost 12 years as director of transportation planning for
the Metropolitan Council would be most beneficial to this particular
project. He is accustomed to "last minute" reviews of sensitive proposals
-- and has been responsible for the review and evaluation of the trans-
portation impacts of many EIS's and EAW's of large and small development
proposals.
Professor Huber has over 40 years of experience in the transportation
engineering field. His extensive research and writing has focused upon the
practical application of transportation theory. He performed an analysis
similar to what is proposed here for the sites under consideration for the
stadium in Minneapolis.
Ron Stehman is a principal transportation engineer with over 15 years of
experience in transportation planning and engineering. Of particular
interest to this project was his involvement in the determination of the
traffic and parking demands of a 23,000 -seat amphitheater in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin -- in relation to other events on the Sim,eifest grounds.
REPRESENTATIVE HNTB PROJECTS
Traffic Impact Analysis - Marcus Amphitheater
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
HNTB was retained by Herbst, Eppstein, Keller and Chadek to provide traffic
engineering services for a proposed 23,000 -seat amphitheater to be located
on the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This study included a
determination of the traffic and parking demands generated by the proposed
amphitheater. Traffic and parking volumes were determined for several
scenarios including a sold -out amphitheater event, simultaneous with the
operation of the Summerfest grounds. The direction of approach and impact
Mr. Ken Ashfeld
City of Shakopee

of traffic on the street and parking system was determined and problem
areas identified. Improvement alternatives were developed to address these
problem areas and provide safe transit and pedestrian access.
Traffic Impact Analysis - Park Plaza Development
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
This project included traffic engineering services for the determination of
impacts associated with a proposed Trammell Crow Company development. The
development included a 250 -room motel, over one million square feet of
office space and over 500,000 square feet of warehouse space. Following
the determination of the impacts, critical roadways and intersections were
identified. Alternative improvement schemes were then developed to mini-
mize the impacts and provide efficient access. The final improvement
program included signal modification, additional lanes and the development
of a "trumpet" interchange into the site.
Traffic Impact Analysis - Burger King Restaurant
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
HNTB was retained by the Burger King Corporation to determine the traffic
impact associated with eight proposed Burger King Restaurants throughout
the Milwaukee Metropolitan area, and develop improvements to mitigate any
negative impacts. These studies included a data collection effort used to
determine existing conditions and develop the future traffic demand. The
future demand was then combined with the current volumes and the resulting
traffic conditions determined.
Improvements to the adjacent transportation system were then developed to
minimize any negative impact generated by the proposed restaurants. In
addition, the location of driveways and the parking lot operation was
reviewed for operational and safety considerations.
Traffic Operations Study - Wittman Field and Environs
Winnebago County, Wisconsin
This project included traffic engineering and transportation planning
services for improving the traffic flow patterns for the world's largest
annual Fly -In held by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) each year
in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Traffic counts, attendance figures, convention site
plans and background information were collected. Various low capital
intensive improvements designed to accommodate the traffic flows were
developed. These improvements included isolating an expressway interchange
for EAA traffic, redesignating lane use at the primary intersection, im-
proving turning radii, reversing traffic lanes, improving access to parking
lots, providing positive police officer control at critical intersections
and developing an overall signing program. The recommended improvements
were implemented at the 1983 Oshkosh Convention and the traffic movements
into and out of the Convention site were greatly improved.

WEST 70TH STREET
TRAFFIC OPERATIONS AND SAFETY STUDY
IN EDINA, MINNESOTA
The City of Edina commissloned Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch,
Inc. to study the traffic operations and safety characteristics
of West 70th Street from Highway 100 to France Avenue.
Over a ten year period, traffic volume on West 70th Street
more than doubled, creating significant conflicts between
the through traffic served by West 70th Street and the
adjacent residential neighborhoods. The concerns
expressed included: the safety of elementary school
students and other pedestrians, a lack of adequate gaps in
through traffic for side street traffic to safely enter or cross
West 70th Street, the number of traffic accidents. high travel
speeds, poor compliance with traffic controls, and a lack of
alternative routes to which through traffic could be diverted.
The study was to consider: existing tragic volumes and
traffic controls, travel speeds, traffic accidents, delay,
school traffic and pedestrian crossing problems, stop sign
compliance, as well as other traffic/pedestrian
characteristics. A study advisory committee was appointed
by the city to provide input and review the study findings
and recommendations. The task of Sirgar-Roscoe-Fausch,
Inc. was to develop specific recommendations to address
the concerns on West 701h Street
The study work program began with identification of the
specific issues, problems, and concerns. Data were then
collected which could provide insight into the identified
problems and concems. Following the data analysis, a list
of alternative actions which could potentially resolve the
concems was ointly prepared. Actions included in this list:
additional traf�c control and guidance to be provided by
striping and signing, installing traffic signals, modifying
signal timing, placing restrictions on turns and certain
vehicles, stnct enforcement, traffic diveners, and public
information programs.
Traffic Accident Summary
Each identified alternative was then evaluated as to the
objective h was to accomplish, how well it would
accomplish that objective, and what impacts the action
would have on West 70th Street traffic operations and safety
and on roads in the entire study area. Based on this
evaluation, specific recommendations were prepared which
Included: installation of a traffic signal at the major school
pedestrian crossing, upgrading of warning signs, improved
pavement markings to provide adequate geometries and
improve traffic flow at selected intersections, elimination of
'free' right turns at selected intersections, improvements to
alternative routes to help reduce volumes on West 70th
Street, and traffic regulation enforcement programs. A
program to monitor traffic operations and safety on West
70th Street after recommended improvements were
Completed was also recommended as essential, in order to
assess their effectiveness and identify any adjustments or
additional actions that may be appropriate.

1-394 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN
IN MINNETONKA, ST. LOUIS PARK, GOLDEN VALLEY,
AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA
1-394 will be a six lane freeway built along the existing T.H.
12 between downtown Minneapolis and Highway 101 in
Wayzata. The two inside lanes will be reserved for
carpools, vanpools and buses. The primary purpose of the
1-394 Transportation System Management Plan (TSMP) is to
assure that the necessary supportive programs are
implemented in a sequence and at a level which both
assures a smoothly operating transportation system and
encourages higher carpool, vanpool and bus use.
An interim HOV lane, designed by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch.
Inc., was built in 1985 in the median of Highway 12. Traffic
management plans were prepared for the interim lane
during the construction period and for ongoing operation of
the permanent HOV lanes. A traffic and parking
management plan was also prepared for the Third Avenue
Distributor Parking Garages as a part of the 1-394 TSMP.
The final product of the 1-394 Transportation System
Management Plan was a comprehensive documentation of
policies, evaluation objectives and planned actions for the
following transportation system elements:
• Traffic management
• Enforcement
• Parking
• Transit
• Rideshare
• Marketing
• Funding
• Evaluation
• Corridor management
r-
Shirley Highway, Washington, D.C.
Public involvement was a key element of this project. Four
newsletters were prepared, slide presentations were made
to numerous groups, and a complete public relationsand
marketing plan was developed by the implementing
agencies before the interim HOV lane was opened. The
cooperation of the many public agencies involved in 1-394
and the continued support of the business community
along the corridor have been exceptional contributions to
this project.
The project was managed by a Project Management Team _
and a Policy Committee made up of representatives from
the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Metropolitan
Council, Regional Transit Board, Metropolitan Transit
Commission, Federal Highway Administration, Hennepin
County and the City of Minneapolis. A marketing committee
is also active which includes representatives from the
Downtown Council, the Twin West Chamber of Commerce
and Medicine Lake Bus Lines, as well as the above
agencies.

REPLACEMENT OF THE SMITH AVENUE HIGH BRIDGE
'Due to growing conoems about the structural condition of
the 95 year old High Bridge, the Minnesota Department of
Transportation retained our firm to study the options for
rehabilitation or replacement of the historic structure. The
study, which required continuous public involvement and
coordination with the Minnesota Historic Society, included
six steps as follows:
• Evaluation of the original structure
e Analysis of the bridge site
• Identification of 14 feasible bridge types
• Selection of the 6 most feasible types
• Recommendation of preferred alternative
• Design of the replacement bridge
The replacement bridge has a steel superstructure
consisting of 11 spans ranging from 160 feet to 520 feet for
a total length of 2,760 feet. The bridge extends from river
bluff to river bluff at heights of up to 200 feet above the
Mississippi River. The main span over the navigational
channel is a 520 toot deck tied arch with side spans of 240
feet and 280 feet.
Completion of the $19.0 million bridge is anticipated by mid
1987.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I
The firm of Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch. Inc. has provided District Nine of the Minnesota
1
Department of Transportation planning and engineering services on two major
projects. -
The first project. the St. Paul High Bridge, required a sensitivity to community
concerns. careful attention to historic detail, and knowledge of applicable federal
-�t
regulations in order to obtain special federal bridge discretionary monies. Their
JI
efforts were very successful. All objectives met. The new landmark quality High
Bridge is under construction.
The second project is that final portion of the 35-E Parkway in St. Paul. This project
included two phases:
—developing a design concept sensitive to the areas adjacent to the
Parkway Corridor. and
— designing the construction plans.
Working with a Design Task Force made up of all interests in this corridor the
Consultant has successfully completed this effort. Construction is now underway
on this last segment of this controversial corridor.
In summary. our experience with this firm an two major projects has been excellent.
They are knowledgeable with Federal Rules and Regulations and their application.

sensitive to consitutuent groups. timely with deadlines, and at the same time
represent the interests of the client.

TO WHOM IT MAY ODNCERN:
RE: Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc.
Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc. has participated in numerous projects as
consultants to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mq/DOT)n cities and
counties in this district. They have earned a very fine reputation, and
particular expertise in the areas of transportation planning and engineering,
structural design and roadway design.
An outstanding capability that they singularly have developed, is a focus on
j strategic planning of financing for public infrastructure projects. An
1 example of this is the I-394 West project at Carlson Parkway and Wayzata
Boulevard in Minnetonka. The firm took the lead and served as a "beacon"
pointing the way for the sponsoring agencies of the Federal Highway
Administration, Mn/DOT, and the City of Minnetonka, to join with
the private sector, the Carlson Companies, to produce the largest public/
1 private partnership project of its kind to date MR/DOT has been involved in.
The firm is especially talented in the area of public involvement.
Other projects the firm has contracted with us to work on are:
1. The I-394 parking garages in downtown Minneapolis, totaling $90+ million
when complete.
2. I-394 transportation planning, including the "sane lane", $4+ million.
3. I -35W preliminary design study geared towards capacity and safety improve-
ments to I -35W in Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington and Burnsville.
This study, still in its infancy, will result eventually in over
j $100 million in improvements to I -35W.
In summation, we have been pleased with the projects Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch,
Inc. has worked on with us. Not only are they very competent technically, but
they display a high degree of professionalism in executing their work.

-1 The firm of Strgar-Roscoe, Inc. has completed many projects in the area of
transportation planning for municipalities and agencies in the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. The Metropolitan Council was designated by state law as
the long-range comprehensive transportation planning agency in the Metropolitan
Area and, as such, "shall assure administration and coordination of transporta-
tion planning with appropriate state, regional and other agencies, counties and
municipalities..." In this role we have reviewed the results of most of Strgar-
Roscoe's work in transportation planning. The work was of high quality and
.�. responsive to the needs of the client and the Metropolitan Council. The firm
has a much -deserved reputation as being highly professional in the performance
of their work. The recent addition of Peter Fausch as Vice President adds
additional credibility and competence to the firm. During my eight-year
association with him, I have found him to be one of the more knowledgeable,
1 innovative and personable planners in the Twin Cities.

It is without reservation that I recommend the firm of Strgar-Roscoe, Inc. for
strong consideration in the performance of transportation planning.

Dear George:
Frank Strgar, President of Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc.,
recently indicated that you may be considering hiring his
firm for one or more complex and sensitive engineering
l projects.
JI have personally known Frank for six years, and the City
has a long standing working relationship with his firm.
l I just wanted you to know that we have been extremely
J impressed by the highly professional and thorough work
performed by both him and his firm. In fact, we often
utilize his firm in dealing with those projects which
are the most politically volatile, and involve the great-
est public exposure because of their effective and thorough
manner in dealing with citizens.
I know how important hiring the right consultant can be,
and wanted you to know of our very positive experience with
i Frank and his firm.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been exposed to the excellent professional work performed by Ferrol
Robinson for different transportation agencies in the Twin Cities for over 10
years- He is particularly recognized for his expertise in the arra of travel
-1
forecasting and has been involved in numerous applications of the regional
Ji
travel models developed by our organization in cooperation with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. -
't
{
I want to particularly emphazise his contributions to an Alternatives Analysis
!
study for two major regional corridors that we conducted in 1983-1985 under the
auspices of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. As the Project
Manager Ihad the opportunity to work very closely with Mr. Robinson, not only
in the area of travel forecasting but also in other aspects of the project such
as transit operating plans, cost estimates and alternatives evaluation. I
'i
found Mr. Robinson's broad understanding of major transportation issues, his
)1
knowledge of transportation planning principles and methods and his
-
resourcefulness in dealing with problems extremely valuable in the development
i{
of the study.
1
Since the Alternative Analysis, Mr. Robinson has played a significant role in
two other major studies in which I have been directly involved. First, in a
-�
Transit Service Needs Assessment Study for the entire metropolitan area
conducted by the Regional Transit Board and in which I served on the Project
Management Board. The second major project is a corridor study for I -35W which
-1
our organization is currently co -managing with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation. In both cases, Mr. Robinsons' contributions have been extremely
satisfactory.
1
In summary, I do not hesitate to qualify Mr. Robinson as a highly competent
transportation professional who has more than fulfilled my expectations in the
various experiences in which we have worked together.
Sincerely,

RE: Appeal of Starwood Music Center Conditional Use Permit
DATE: September 28, 1987
INTRODUCTION•
At their meeting on September 22, 1987 the City Council
directed staff to place on the table at their meeting on
September 29 a copy of the staff recommended resolution with
changes to the conditions as discussed by the City Council and a
copy of the criteria on which the conditional use permit must be
judged.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a copy of the resolution with the changes as
requested by the City Council, also attached is a copy of the
criteria from the City Code on which a conditional use permit
must be judged. After each condition listed in the attached
resolution you will find in parentheses reference to the criteria
that are applicable to the condition.
Following are the changes to the conditions made to the
staff recommended resolution contained in the City Councils
packet for the September 22nd meeting:
1. Condition #1 was changed to reflect specific mitigating
measures regarding noise, traffic and the environment.
2. Condition #3 was changed to retain the requirement of a drug
crisis unit to be on site for each performance unless
— - specifically waived by the City Council for individual
performances.
3. Condition #5 was changed to read that liquor sales must be
terminated at 10:30 P.M. or one hour prior to the end of an
event whichever is earlier. The condition change also
includes requirements for reporting the practices of the
operation to ascertain compliance with this criteria.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in
suspension or revocation of the liquor license.
4. Condition #9 was changed to add the additional language:
The facility shall not contract for, countenance, encourage
or allow off-site parking which will create queuing as
defined in condition #18. This was to provide more control
over parking off-site.
Condition #18 was changed to clarify the wording and to
better enable administration of the requirement.
Condition 419 was added to require that any change in excess
of 10% to buildings, seating or parking would require an
amendment to the conditional use permit. This change was in
response to a condition included by the Planning Commission
Conditional Use Permit Resolution requiring review by the
Planning Commission of any proposed changes.
Condition #20 was added to provide additional assurance to
the City that the applicant is doing whatever is within
their control to insure order on the premises. This
condition reads as follows: The applicant shall have the
obligation to maintain order on the site or to take any
necessary actions to protect the health and safety of
patrons, employees and property. This condition places
broad responsibility on the applicant to protect people and
property and was recommended by the Assistant City Attorney.
Condition 421 was added to require an annual review of the
Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. This
review would take place in November of each year following
the completion of each operating season for the facility.

RE: 1988 Budget Information
DATE: September 28, 1987
Introduction
Listed below are some items for Council consideration as part of the 1988
budget process;
1. Possible budget cuts.
$5,500 of the $10,500 budgeted for transportation lobby.
$45,000 of the $95,000 budgeted for pavement preservation.
$20,000 of the $100,000 budgeted for contingency.
$5,000 tree replacement budget (forestry).
$xx,xxx Community Recreation transfer.
Personnel - currently unfilled
$15,000 Planner I - use interns
$8,000 Police Clerk Typist 1/2 time.
Personnel - currently filled
$35,000 Police officer
$16,900 Receptionist
$37,000 Asst. Building Inspector
$xx, xxx contracted building cleaning instead of using custodians, current
costs are $40,000+, more information available at a later date.
$10,000 planning interns if Planner I not filled with interns.
$18,000 Ambulance agreement.
$24,130 is the total of all conferences and schools in the general fund.
Some training may be required, particularly for police and fire dept. to
keep employees qualified and meet requirements.
2. Proposed 1988 Budget adjustments.
A few adjustments to the draft
budget have surfaced.
They
include;
increase street wages due to data
entry error $5,000, Fire Dept.
supplies
increase $1,500, Police Miscellaneous increase $5,000 for
grant program
and
general fund grant revenue $15,000
for the police program.
Transit
fund is
reimbursements.
3. Revenue Sources.
Track admissions is budgeted at $155,000 for 1987 and $130,000 for 1988.
It appears at this point that revenue for 1987 will be about $100,000. If
the 1988 budget is left at $130,000 and attendance does not pick up, a mid-
year adjustment may be needed.
The General Fund may be able to capture about $4,000 by charging
administrative overhead to the Storm Drainage and Sanitary Sewer Funds in
addition to direct labor and labor overhead costs.
Council may want to look at using part of the SPUC contribution that
currently goes into the Capital Equipment fund. One approach could be to
delay the Administrators car, the copier and the Park pickup one year and
use those funds ($44,000) for General Fund operations.
4. General Fund Balance.
General Fund fund balance is estimated to be $1,500,000 which is 408 of
expenditures and transfers as of 12/31/88. This is $550,000 more than 258
of expenditures and transfers and $450,000 more than the 308 mark. A
cautionary note is in order here due to the uncertainty of how 1987 will
actually turn out compared to budget.
5. Looking ahead at 1989. --- The 3rd Ave. rehabilitation project will add one or more mills to the 1989
tax levy.
The bond issue for a new city hall (if approved) will add to the 1989 levy.
The State has changed the Homestead credit arrangement. This is the last
year in which homestead credit will increase due to an increase in the
local levy. The homestead credit for 1987/88 will be a base for
determination of the homestead credit replacement aid in future years. In
other words, the higher the levy for 1987/88, the higher the homestead
credit replacement aid we will be eligible for in the future.
6. Miscellaneous
Leroy Houser requested $50,00 for lighting at Memorial Park. It is not
included in the budget due to funding levels in the General Fund. The Park
Reserve Fund does not have money available for improvements as opposed to
acquisitions unless the Council wishes to change the rule of 608 of park
dedication funds going for land acquisitions.
The HRA budget shows $200,000 for a revolving loan program funded by a
$200,000 transfer from the Capital Improvement Fund. This is money
resulting from special assessments for Valley Park Drive and 12th ave, the
construction cost of the street was paid for with TIF bonds.
Kerr - Thorson Co. is proposing to do a study of park maintenance
requirements for about $3,530. Council can discuss this item for inclusion
in the 1988 budget or using remaining 1987 contingency funding or dropping
the item.
