CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Valley View Road Improvements Project, Project
No. 2012-7.
DATE: April 17, 2012
INTRODUCTION:
As per Resolution No. 7078, a resolution receiving a report and calling for a public
hearing on the Valley View Road Improvements Project, Project No. 2012-7, a public
hearing is scheduled for April 17� This agenda item is to conduct the public hearing for
the proposed improvements associated with the Valley View Road Improvements
Project. This is a Council initiated project that requires a supermajority vote to move
forward.
BACKGROUND:
On October 4, 2011, the City Council ordered the preparation of a preliminary
engineering report for the Valley View Road Improvements Project. The report was
completed and accepted by City Council on March 20, 2012. This proposed project
includes constructing Valley View Road improvements from Evergeen Lane to Sarazin
Street.
The Valley View Road extension from Evergreen Lane to Sarazin Street has been
contemplated since 2000. On October, 2000 a traffic study was done by WSB &
Associates, Inc. to determine a future alignment of Valley View Road from CR 79 to
CSAH 83. Neighborhood meetings were held with affected property owners and from
these meetings, a preferred alternative was selected and is attached.
From this alternative selection, the City and County entered into the attached memo of
understanding (MOU). This MOU outlined the understanding of the future of Valley
View Road construction with CSAH 17 and when that construction would be done. Also,
the future construction of CSAH 17 with St. Francis Avenue was discussed as well. This
MOU was approved on April 3, 2001.
Also, as part of this study and City/County ageement, an agreement with St. Francis
Regional Medical Center (SFRMC) and Betaseed was entered into for the alignment of
Valley View Road from CSAH 17 to Sarazin Street. This agreement was essentially to
have an equal land contribution and land swap between the two properties after Valley
View Road is built. Attached is a drawing showing this concept for their agreement
labeled "Concept Plan for Betaseed".
In 2008, the County initiated a CH 17/TH13 Corridor Study from TH 169 to TH19. This
study reviewed the growth of Scott County and its effect on CH 17 and what is the future
road classification of CH 17. From this study, CH 17 is projected to be a principal
arterial which is the highest classification of roadways per MnDOT. For instance, TH 169
is a principle arterial serving much of southeast Minnesota. This study was approved by
the City Council by the attached Resolution No. 6891 on April 7, 2009.
During the preparation of this study, a traffic issue surfaced with the residents east of
Sarazin Street and with the construction of Valley View Road to Mooers Avenue. Many
of the residents were not at the 2000 neighborhood meetings when this preferred
alternative was selected.
The concern of the neighborhood was the increase traffic into a relatively quiet street
when Valley View Road is constructed. A traffic study was done by WSB & Associates,
Inc. on alternatives to the Valley View Road connection to Sarazin Street and input to
traffic to the neighborhood. The conclusion was to have a one way street westbound on
Mooers Avenue from Sarazin Street to Hazen Street. Council approved the
recommendation on October 21, 2008, and the action will be incorporated into the final
design of the Valley View Road project.
In 2011, Scott County made the decision to move ahead with the four laning of CSAH 17
from St. Francis Avenue to '/ mile south of CH 78. With the project moving into design
and a projected construction in 2013, Council approved a preliminary report for Valley
View Road from Evergreen Lane to Sarazin Street.
Staff will make a presentation of the report at the public hearing meeting the project and
associated costs. The report discusses Valley View Road in two segments as the west leg
from CSAH 17 and the east leg from CSAH 17. Reason for this separating as it was
unclear on whether Betaseed would support the west leg at the time of writing the report.
Since the acceptance of the report, Betaseed has met with staff and county staff to discuss
options of their access and is now accepting of the project with certain conditions.
ISSUES:
East LeQ f�'om CH 17 to Sarazin St.
1) The alignment and design of Valley View Road should be such to balance the
right of way from each property owner as much as possible. Staff will work with
Betaseed and the Hospital on a balanced alignment during final design.
2) Road construction from St. Francis Avenue to Valley View Rd. needs to be done
to restare the new connection to the Hospital. The County has indicated that they
will build this connection with the closing of St. Francis Avenue from CH 17.
This road connection should be a private road per staff similar to road entrances
into St. Francis's complex now. Attached is a letter of support from Mike
Baumgartner, President of St. Francis Regional Hospital with conditions on the
proj ect.
3) City Participation of this leg is for the oversizing of the road, storm sewer and
SPUC trunk water oversizing.
4) It is proposed that the right of way for this roadway will be dedicated to the City
by the hospital and Betaseed.
West LeQ from CH 17 to EverQreen Lane
1) High assessments to Betaseed, Hayostak & Thomson parcels. The Betaseed parcel
could see the benefit of Valley View Road, when and if they develop. Betaseed as
first was not for the road project, however, they do want their business connection
to Valley View Road and ultimately to CH 17 and a traffic control signal. A letter
from Kurt Wickstrom, President of Betaseed, Inc. is attached in which Betaseed is
willing to support the improvement with conditions.
The Hayosteck & Thomson parcels have high assessments and staff has concern
on whether the assessments could be sustained in court. Staff would recommend
a benefit appraisal be done for these parcels to determine the value to the
properties. A benefit appraisal per parcel is estimated to be $5,000-$6,000. Staff
would also recommend an assessment agreement be considered for these parcels
depending on the benefit appraisal results.
2) Betaseed's future street layout to Valley View Road is one of the conditions of
support for Betaseed. Staff will discuss the conditions further at the public
hearing. The main concern is whether to give approval of street connections
without going through the platting process of approval.
3) Relocation of driveways far CH 17 to Valley View Road is being proposed as part
of the CH 17 project. The County is willing to relocate driveways from CH 17 to
Valley View Road as part of the access management plan for the CH 17 project
and corridor. Final driveway locations will be determined during design.

that one or more of the foIlowing occur:
A. Development of the Betaseed property or the St. Francis Hospital property east of
CSAH I7.
B. Development of property in the area on the west side of CSAH 17 requires additional
access to CSAH 17, or requires a change in the exis2ing access serving Betaseed.
C. The City and County agree that traffic cdnditions indicate a safety problem exists or
is imminent at the CSAH 17 and St. Francis intersection, or they agree on the need

Official roceedings of the October 21, 2008
Shakope City Council Page -5-
Mr. Lon y presented Council with the Mooers Avenue Traffic Study Recommendations.
Mr. Lon y discussed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOi� between the City of Shakopee
and Sco County. The MOU essentially agreed to relocate the existing Valley View Road
connecti n to CSAH 17 to a location further north and would line up with Mooers Avenue street
connecti n at Sarazin Street. The alignment configuration was also agreed upon by Betaseed
and St. ancis Regional Medical Center who would be affected by this connection.
Mr. Lon y stated that at an open house on the C.R. 17 Corridor Study several residents raised a
concern f the increased traffic to Mooers Avenue. Staff had WSB & Associates perform a
traffic s dy to analyze the traffic impacts to the neighborhoods. Chuck Richart of WSB
presente Council with the results of the study.
Mr. Lon y said that based on the study various alternatives were suggested. One alternative is to
close M oers Ave., connecting Mooers Avenue to a one-way westbound realignment of Valley
View R ad as an offset so direct connection was not made at Mooers Ave. Mr. Loney said after
present' g the altematives to area residence, staff is recommending the one-way alternative as a
westbo d one-way.
John He ke1, 1863 Mooers Avenue, who is the spokes person for the Mooers Avenue residence.
Mr. Hec el wanted to thank City staff and the County for listening to the neighborhood
concern .
Joos/Le an moved to accept the Mooers Avenue Updated Traffic Study and its
recomm ndations, noting the Mooers Avenue one-way alternative is a westbound one-way.
Discussi n followed.
Cncl. Le an asked if Hazen Street was part of the alternative. Mr. Loney said that the
recomm ndation for the one-way is from Sarizan St. to Hazen St. on Mooers Avenue.
Mayor S hmitt asked for a vote on the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Lon y presented Council with the Authorization of Additional Traffic Control Signage for
10�' Ave ue from Spencer Street to Fuller Street.

RESOLUTION NO. 6891
A l�esolution of the City of Shakopee Approving the Study of
County Highway 17 and Trunk Highway 13 Corridors Whieh Inctudes a Long
Term Vision for the Corridor to be a Principal Arterial from U.S.169 to the
Southern Boundary of Scott County
WHEREAS, Scott County Association for Leadership and Eff ciency (SCALE) has
made a county wide effort to educate communities on the importance of a transportation system
to support and sustain economic development in the county; and
WHEREAS, SCALE has focused its community outreach efforts to address the
importance of balancing the interface between land use and transportation along highways in the
County and has emphasized the need for both mobility corridors and Iand access corridors in the
county to sustain the future growth; and
WHEREAS, the City as a member of SCALE wishes to support north south mobility in
the county and the need to have principal arterial spacing, generally every 3 miles, to properly
support the development of the urbanizing areas in the City and County; and
WHEREAS, the County had originally identified the County Highway 21 Corridar as
the north south principal arterial in this area in the Scott County Transportation Plan 2000 —
2020; and
WHEREAS, when the County and Cities reviewed the 2030 Scott County Transportation
Plan, they evaluated the connectivity of County Highway 21, it became apparent that the corridor
would not serve the mobility function needed for the regional Highway System in this area due
to the lack af a supporting road system and the existing development patterns of the communities
of Shakopee and Prior Lake; and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Shakopee and Prior Lake, Townships of Cedar Lake and
Spring Lake, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation have jointly participated in this
multi jurisdictional corridor study of County Highway 17 and State Trunk Highway 13 to
develop a long term vision for the corridor, identified the local raadway system components
necessary to support the corridor vision and developed preliminary recommendations to serve as
guidance for fizture project development; and
WHEI�EEAS, among other things the conidor study recommends that County Highway
17 from TH169 to the south and State TH 13 from State TH 19 to State TH 282 serve as the
north south principal arterial corridor in this area; and
WHEREAS, in the 2030 Transportation Plan the County has identified Cotzrzty Highway
17 from TH 169 to the south as a future principal arterial roadway and recommended County
Highway 17 narth of State Trunk Highway 169 remain as a minor arterial roadway; and
WHEREAS, the City acknowledges tha� vision and commits ta working with the County
in supporting that vision in its development and redevelopment activities adjacent to the County
Highway 17 corridor; and
WHEREAS, the City and County wish to work toge#her to preserve the mobility
function of County Highway 17 south of TH 1b9; and
WHEREAS, the City and County understand the importance the supporting road
network and access spacing plays in supporting the operations and function of a principai arterial
roadway; and
WHEREAS, the County recognizes that the City does not have complete jurisdiction
over properties needed to develop the supporting road neri��ork for the Couiaty Highway 17
vision; and
WHEREAS, the City and County recognize further, more detailed, s�udy will be needed
during the detailed design process to address current access spacing deficiencies in the corridor
which are inconsistent with the County Highway 17 principal arterial vision south of TH 169;
and
WHEREAS, this revised future funetional class system vision has required the County
and City to jointly review the access spacing allowed on both Caunty Highway 17 and County
Highway 2I; and
WHEREA�, the City acknowledges the County's authority to permit, modify or clos�
access to a County Highway in the future.
NOW, TH�REFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CIT�' COtiNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA:
1. The City and County agree that the long term function of County Highway 17 south of
TH169 is a principal arterial where the primary focus on the road is to support mobility with
appropriate access to the local roadway system and land uses.
2. The City and County agree that preserving the County Highway 17 corridor south of TH 169
as a principal arterial enables the County High��ay 21 corridor to be managed as a minor
arterial corridor with access spacinD consistent with that function.
3. The County and City accept the design concept contained in the Study for the segment of
County Highway 17 between St. Francis Ave to County Highway 42, recognizing there are a
number of issues (e.g. access and right-of-way configuration) that need to be resoived
through the actual design process. The City and Caunty are committed to working together
to resolve issues as the design process praceeds forward.
4. The County and City are committed to working together to develop an expansion project in
2414 involving a11 or a portion of this segment (Segment C) from St Francis to County
Highway 42.
5. The County will apply for regiona� Federal funds on the Segment C project as part of the
2009 regional solicitation from the Transportation Advisory Board.
6. The County will proceed with appropriate project development and environmental review for
the segment C �roject.
7. The City and County should work together to further study County Highway I7 at the
intersections w7th County Highway 42, County Nighway 78 and Valley View Road to
determine the appropriate full intersection control.
8. The City and County should continue to expiore opportunities for a park and ride on the west
side of County Highway 17 in the vicinity of the Valley View intersection.
9. The City and Coun�y should continue to work on developing alternate routes of access to
those neighborhoods that are currently served by only one outlet.
10. The City and County will continue to plan and work cooperatively to develop a supporting
road system consistent with the vision of the corridor.
11. The City, when opportunities arise tbrough the development process, supports the re�noval of
private accesses from County Highway 17.
12. The City and County will work together with property owners to find cost effective solutions
for removing existi�g private accesses from County Highway 17.
13. The City and County will continue to work together on the segment of County Highway 17
north of State Hzghway 169 to examine solutions and find ways to improve operations and
safety of the corridor to support its minor arterial function through additional detailed traffic
analysis and examination of design aiternatives.

Re: City of Shakopee Preliminary Engineering Report and Development of Valley View Road
Dear Bruce:
This letter is in response to the City of Shakopee request for Betaseed Inc.'s (Betaseed) position on the
development of Valley View Road.
Betaseed understands the need to develop Valley View Road. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of you,
leffrey Weyandt and others representing the City of Shakopee for being transparent, and providing us
an opportunity to provide input on the impact of the developments to Betaseed.
Since establishing our Shakopee facilities in 1980, Betaseed has worked co-operatively with the City of
Shakopee to develop infrastructure necessary for the continued future growth of the City, while at the
same time, continuing our significant research and development activities in the area.
As you are aware, the land that is owned by Betaseed is extremely valuable to the entire sugar beet
industry in the US and abroad. The past decades have been dedicated to developing research land that
is very uniform, has highly desirable characteristics and generates scientifically reliable data for the
development of sugar beet hybrids that are sold globally. The land is in fact, the most highly desirable
research land for testing resistance to a soil-born sugar beet disease called Aphanomyces. Betaseed
tests our hybrids, and hybrids for other sugar beet seed companies to confirm the hybrids are resistant
to this disease and therefore eliminate the potential devastating yield losses for sugar beet farmers,
estimated at more than $1.5 billion USD.
While we have attempted to find other research land to develop the same characteristics for many years
to test for resistance to Aphanomyces, neither Betaseed nor others in the sugar beet industry have been
successful in doing so.
Our facilities at 1788 Marschall Road are not only a key research and breeding station for Betaseed, but
also our North American corporate office with more than 30 full and part-time employees. As our
business continues to grow, and we hire additional people to meet the increased workload, it is our
desire to continue our research operations and potentially maintain our corporate presence in the City
of Shakopee as well.
As a responsible corporate citizen, it is Betaseeds intent to support in principle the improvements
identified in the March 2012 Preliminary Engineering Report, Valley View Road, Street Improvements
and Appurtenant Work, east of CSAH 17 with the following condition:
• Betaseed requires access to land owned and identified as Betaseed 27-9180093 in Drawing 1 in
Appendix of March 2012 Preliminary Engineering Report, Valley View Road, Street
Improvements and Appurtenant Work, and the access points are agreed upon by both City of
Shakopee and Betaseed, cleariy marked and identified in future engineered drawings and the
cost of the access points are the responsibility of the City of Shakopee
• Please confirm the plans for old Valley View Road (at the south end of Betaseed property 27-
9180093) and ensure that Betaseed will continue to have access to all research properties
owned by Betaseed via new Valley View Road or old Valley View Road during the development
of the project for our on-going field research activities
• To ensure our research and breeding efforts are not disrupted due to lack of water for irrigating,
we would like commitment from the City of Shakopee that the replacement of the Irrigation
water line currently under CSAH 17 from Betaseed corporate office to research land south of St.
Francis Regional Medical Center be done so expediently and at a mutually agreed upon time
between the City of Shakopee and Betaseed
• Final engineered drawings for the improvements west of CSAH-17 will incorporate the Betaseed
Concept Plan from 2000 by James R Hill Inc. to align sanitary sewer and other improvements
with the lot layout from the aforementioned Concept Plan
Betaseed also supports improvements west of CSAH 17 as identified in the March 2012 Preliminary
Engineering Report, Valley View Road, Street Improvements and Appurtenant Work, with the same
accessibility condition as listed above for the east improvement, and at the time the City of Shakopee
determines the development is necessary.
Bruce, we hope that we can work co-operatively with you and your team to ensure access to our
research land, and in doing so, you have the full support of Betaseed for the improvements to Valley
View Road.
Sincerely,
/

Mayor Brad Tabke and
Shakopee City Commissioners
Shakopee City Hall
129 S. Holmes Street
Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear Mayar Tabke and City Commissioners:
St. Francis Regional Medical Center is pleased to support the improvements that are being
considered for Valley View Road west of CSAH 17 that are occurring as part of the 2013
proj ect.
St. Francis does have certain requests that go along with our support.
1. Support and recommendation to SPUC to place underground the overhead power lines on
the both the east and west side CSAH 17. This would improve public and patient safety for
our helipad.
2. A right-turn lane off north-bound CSAH 17 to allow emergency vehicles easy and safe
access to our Level III trauma center.
3. A stop light at the intersection of Valley View Road and CSAH 17.
4. The renaming of a portion Valley View to St. Francis Avenue.
5. City of Shakopee to maintain the current St. Francis Avenue until such time as it is vacated.
6. Maintaining access during construction for our patients, visitors and employees.
7. Reasonable design and land swap amongst all parties.
I thank you for your consideration and further conversation.
Sincerely,
Michael Baumgartner
President
