CITY OF SHAKOPEE Js-.6.~
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Warks Director
SUBJECT: Reconsider Advertisement for Bids for Valley View Road
Project, from Greenfield Addition to C.R. 83, Project No. 2000-3
DATE: July 6, 2004
INTRODUCTION:
Staff is requesting Council reconsideration of advertisement for bids for the Valley View
Road Project, which was previously authorized for approval at its June 15,2004 Council
meeting by Resolution No. 6065.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has completed a feasibility report for improving Valley View Road, from
Greenfield Addition to C.R. 83, in which a public hearing was held and plans were
ordered. Plans were completed and approved at the June 15,2004 Council meeting and
an advertisement for bids was ordered.
At the June 15th City Council meeting, staff did inform the Council that additional
easements were still needed and would be attempted to be obtained prior to the July 6th
meeting. Staff has met the property owner, in which an easement is needed for
construction of Valley View Road, and has not been able to reach an agreement due to
complications at this time. Complications have arisen to what is the exact ownership of
Valley View Road, in the area of the Weckman parcel, and determination as to the exact
ownership needs to be made before evaluation and offer can be determined. Also, City
staff did not know at the time of the preparation of the feasibility study and public
hearing, that a possible plat from the 40 acres north of Valley View Road and east of Park
Meadows may be developed. Approval of a plat would provide additional right-of-way
and could change the roadway alignment and possibly lessen the right-of-way impact to
the parcel south of Valley View Road.
It is staff s opinion, that it is in the best interest of the City to have a correct
determination of the right-of-way needed and the correct evaluation for right-of-way
purchases before advertising for bids. Also, the parcel to the north known as the Gonyea
parcel may in fact be rezoned with MUSA and a possible plat forthcoming. Staff is
recommending. that Council pass a motion to withdraw the advertisement for bids for the
Valley View Road project, at this time, and to bid this project over the winter for next
spring construction.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion to withdraw the advertisement for bids on the Valley View
Road Project, from Greenfield Addition to c.R. 83.
2. Do not approve this motion.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend Alternative No.1, for reasons stated in the memo, so that the
proper right-of-way acquisition amount can be determined and to see ifthe 40 acre parcel
north of Valley View Road and east of Park Meadows does develop.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve a motion to. withdraw the advertisement for bids on the Valley View Road
Project, from Greenfield Addition to C.R. 83.
