OAKRIDGE SOUTH STREET RECONSTRUCTION
ACCEPT FEASIBILITY REPORT
ORDER PUBLIC HEARING
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move to accept
the feasibility report prepared bv Bolton and Menk as ordered on
November 2 , 1994 and that Resolution 94-18 be adopted ordering a
public hearinq on March 15, 1994. ..
Overview.
The City Council at its regular meeting of November 2, 1994 was
presented with a staff report regarding the possible reconstruction of
the streets in the Oakridge South Area. This report was the first
opportunity Council had to discuss this potential project since it was
originally discussed during the implementation of the 1994-98 Capital
Improvement Plan. Staff recommended in the report that Council
. consider reconstructing these streets, as proposed ln the C.I.P. and
authorize Bolten and Menk to prepare a feasibility report on the
potential street reconstruction. council subsequently concurred with
staff's recommendation and ordered Bolten and Menk to prepare a
feasibility report on this matter.
Bolten and Menk have completed their report and have determined the
project to be feasible. The process they used in determining the
feasibility of the project included two information meetings with the
property owners, and many other meetings with individual property
owners. Council is at a point where they should consider accepting
the feasibility of the report and ordering a public hearing.
Primary Issues to Consider

Analvsis of Issues
0 What are the current conditions of the streets in this area?
The streets within the Oakridge South area are aged and exhibit
wear and distress due to traffic loadings. This 1S illustrated
by alligator cracking, potholes, and the exposure of pavement
aggregates. A recent pavement deflection analysis of all the
streets in this area confirmed that all the streets in this area
should be reconstructed except for Elmo Road. The deflection
analysis concluded that Elmo Road was in good shape and did not
presently need any sort of rehabilitation.
The lack of adequate storm sewer in this area 1S fairly obvious
and is evident by the flow characteristics within the streets.
The water and sanitary systems are in fairly good shape, and only
require minor repairs. Street lighting in this area appears to
be adequate.
On and off street parking appears to be adequate for the area.
Much of the area has adequate off street parking, and as such,
the property owners would like to prohibit on street parking.
Robinwood Lane north of 5th street is the only street where on
. street parking is needed. A reconstructed street with a width
wider than the existing street could easily accommodate on street
parking for this section of Robinwood Lane.
0 Should the Council accept the feasibility report?
Representatives from Bolton and Menk will be present at the
Council meeting to make an oral presentation of their feasibility
report, a copy of which is attached. Staff finds the report to
be complete and recommends its acceptance.
0 Should the Council order a public hearing?
Council ordered the report to be prepared without the benefit of
a petition. Informational hearings have been held with the
property owners, and it appears there is general support for the
project. However, Council would most certainly feel more
comfortable proceeding on the project if it heard directly from
the property owners. Staff therefore recommends Council order a
public hearing for March 15, 1994 for this purpose. As Council
is aware, the public hearing is also a mandatory step in the
assessment process, and this public hearing would fulfill this
requirement if the project was to proceed forward.

STREET RECONSTRUCfION
OAKRIDGE SOUTH AREA
CITY PROJECT NO. 93-17
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
1. TYPE OF WORK
This report examines the reconstruction of the existing streets including the addition of new
concrete curb and gutter, turf restoration and appurtenant sewer work in the Oakridge SOllth
area.
Specifically the project involves:
1. Bituminous street reconstruction and turf restoration along Robinwood Lane, 5th Street
and Elmo Service Road.
2. New sanitary sewer extension to the Elmo Park Water Treatment Plant;
3. New storm sewer improvements along 5th Street and Elmo Service Road;
4. Sanitary sewer repair along Robinwood Lane; and
e 5. Relocation and replacement of existing valves and hydrants.
2. BACKGROUND
This report was ordered by the City Council on October 28, 1993. Council Resolution No. 93-
181 was passed requesting that a study be made for the improvement of the streets in the area
known as Oakridge South. The improvements to be considered are: reconstruction of the
bituminous street; improved drainage through storm sewer system extensions and concrete curb
and gutter construction. As a part of this study, underground utilities were to be checked for
adequacy and structural integrity. The project location is shown in Figure 1.
Two neighborhood meetings were held for the purpose of informing the affected property
owners about the improvements being considered and receiving their comments about problems
and concerns to be addressed. Also, separate meetings were held with the owners of the
Hopkins House, Elmo Park Apartments and MGM Liquors. These individual meetings afforded
opportunities to discuss issues directly effecting their respective properties and operations.
Minutes from both of the neighborhood meetings, as well as notes from meetings with various
individual property owners are located in Appendix B.
.
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 1
. 3. EXISTING CONDmONS
The Oakridge South area is a combination of single family and multi-family residential areas
along Robinwood Lane and Elmo Road together with commercial areas along 5th Street and
the North Service Drive of Trunk Highway (TH) No.7. The Elmo Park Water Treatment
plant is located on the north side of the Elmo Service Road.
3.1 Streets
The streets within the Oakridge South area are presently classified as
local/collector type streets with bituminous surfacing. There is off-street, 900
angle parking adjacent to the streets to serve the many apartment dwellings
throughout the area.
The streets within the project area are aged and exhibit wear and distress due
to traffic loadings. This is illustrated on the surface by alligator cracking, pot
holes and the exposure of pavement aggregates. Deflection testing analysis
was completed by Braun Intertec in December 1993 on all of the roadways in
the project area. A summary of the existing pavement sections is listed in
Table 1.

Bituminous curb presently exists along Robinwood Lane from 5th Street to
Hopkins Crossroads as well as along the east edge of the Elmo Service Road.
Concrete vertical curb presently exists along Elmo Road following the
perimeter of each parking bay opening.
The existing street layout is shown on Figure 2.
.
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 2
. 3.2 Watermain
The existing watermain within the project area ranges in diameter from 6 inch
to 16 inch. Watermain, as shown in Figure 3, is located:
1. From the Elmo Park Water Treatment plant, south along the Elmo
Service Road to Robinwood Lane, then continues south along
Robinwood Lane;
2. Along the east-west leg of the Elmo Service Road;
3. Along Robinwood Lane from 5th Street to Hopkins Crossroads;
4. Along the North Service Road of TH No.7;
5. Along the east boulevard of Hopkins Crossroads completing the loop
around the Oakridge South area.
A private 6 inch lateral watermain exits along Elmo Road and dead ends at
the most interior parking area. A single meter is located at the intersection
of Elmo Road and the North Service Drive of TH No.7. City staff has
determined that this watermain is a private service line.
. A review of the Water Utility Master Plan dated March, 1990, suggests some
improvements to the Elmo Park Water Treatment Plant which are presently
under construction and beyond the scope of this report. The fire flows were
deemed adequate for this area at the time of the master plan report. Fire
hydrant pressure tests are recommended to confirm availability of adequate
fire flows.
Many private services have been replaced with copper service lines from the
watermain in the street to the building connection. These replacements are
primarily due to the age and extensive usage of these lines. Owners along the
project area are encouraged to check the material type of their service line as
well as its age and condition, and review for possible replacement in
conjunction with this project.
3.3 Sanitary Sewer
The existing sanitary sewer within the project area is 8-inch diameter vitrified
clay pipe (Vep) with some lengths along Hopkins Crossroads being cast iron
pipe (CIP). The sanitary sewer, as shown in Figure 3, is located:
1. Along the centerline of Robinwood Lane from Hopkins Crossroads to
the North Service Road of TH No.7;
.
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 3
. 2. In the east boulevard of Hopkins Crossroads from Robinwood Lane to
the North Service Drive of TH No.7;
3. In the north boulevard of the North Service Drive of TH No.7 from
Hopkins Crossroads to Elmo Road;
4. Under TH No.7 from the North Service Drive, (approximately 115'
east of the Elmo Road intersection) to the South Service Drive (at the
intersection of 14th Avenue) and serves as the outlet for the Oakridge
South area as well as the potential development of 50i: acres to the
north and east.
A private 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer is located along the centerline of
Elmo Road. Due to the fact that this sewer is privately owned and
maintained, no further analysis of this line was completed under this study.
A review of the Sanitary Sewer Utility Master Plan, dated March, 1990,
indicated problem areas in the sanitary sewer along Robinwood Lane from 5th
Street to Hopkins Crossroads. These deficiencies included slight vertical and
horizontal misalignment, cracked pipe and minor roots in the pipe joints.
The sanitary sewer system in the Oakridge South area, (except the line along
Elmo Road) was televised in October, 1993. A review of the televising report
. confirms the deficiencies in the sewer line along Robinwood Lane as described
above. The sanitary sewer condition was evaluated and recommended
improvements are discussed later in this report.
3.4 Storm Sewer
A 12 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe storm sewer presently collects
runoff water along Robinwood Lane from the Hopkins Crossroads to the
North Service Drive. From this point, the storm sewer flows south under TH
7 through an existing 12 inch diameter storm sewer.
Another 12 inch diameter storm sewer serves as the outlet for the existing
backflushing pond for the Elmo Park Water Treatment plant and connects to
the 15 inch diameter storm sewer at Robinwood Lane.
Storm sewer is also present just outside the project area along the North
Service Drive at the intersections with Robinwood Lane, Elmo Road and the
Elmo Service Road.
Private storm water inlets exist along the east side of Robinwood Lane which
abuts the Elmo Park Apartments. These inlets are french drains and
presently do not appear to be connected to the existing storm sewer system.
There is an existing drain tile connected at the private catch basin in the
e northwest corner of the Elmo Park Apartment property and appears to flow
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 4
. to the northeast. This tile line will be investigated further in the design phase.
It was noted at the neighborhood meeting of January 26, 1994, that there is
a drainage agreement between the golf course property and the Elmo Park
Apartments property.
There is no storm sewer serving the Elmo Road area. Presently, surface water
flows overland easterly and southerly to the intersection of the North Service
Drive of TH 7 and Elmo Road.
There is no storm sewer serving the Elmo Service Road area. Presently,
surface water flows overland in an easterly and southerly direction to the Elmo
Service Road intersection with the North Service Drive of TH 7.
The 15 inch storm sewer tlowing south between manholes 9 to manhole 10 in
Robinwood Lane connects to the manhole at the North Service Drive at an
elevation approximately 1 foot lower than the outlet pipe in the same
manhole. This elevation difference restricts the flow in the sewer and
contributes to storm sewer backup problems. Thus, this line has been
reviewed for replacement in order to eliminate the flow restriction.
The existing storm sewer layout is illustrated on Figure 4.

OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 5
. 4. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Bituminous Streets
Robinwood Lane from the North Service Drive of TH 7 to Hopkins
Crossroads, 5th Street from Robinwood Lane to Hopkins Crossroads and the
Elmo Service Road from Robinwood Lane to the North Service Drive are all
functionally classified as local/collector type streets and, as slich, are proposed
to be designed and constructed to a 9-ton standard. Elmo Road is
functionally classified as a local street and presently meets the structural
capacity of a 9-ton design. Therefore, no street improvements for Elmo Road
are recommended at this time.
The street improvements are shown in Figure 2 and described as follows:
. 5th Street - In order to improve area drainage, 5th Street will be
reconstructed with a new vertical alignment. Concrete curb and gutter
will be constructed along both sides of the street to direct surface water
to the catch basins. Driveover curb will be installed along the
perpendicular off-street parking areas. The street width is proposed
at 36 feet (measured face-of-curb to face-of-curb), centered within the
50' right-of-way. This section of 5th Street is presently designated as
. a no-parking area.
. Elmo Setvice Road - Due to the lack of structural integrity, Elmo
Service Road is recommended for reconstruction. The vertical
alignment will approximate the inplace alignment in order to match the
existing parking areas. Concrete curb and gutter win be constructed
along both sides of the street to direct surface water to the catch
basins. Driveover curb will be installed along the perpendicular
parking areas. The street width is proposed at 26 feet (measured face-
of-curb to face-of-curb), centered within the 30' right-of-way along the
north and east segments and shifted to match the west line of the 30'
right-of-way along the west segment just north of Robinwood Lane.
. Robinwood Lane ~ For the segment north of 5th Street, the bituminous
surface will be removed and the majority of the aggregate base will be
left in place. The bituminous surface will be replaced together with 3-
inches of new aggregate base to conform with the existing vertical
alignment. For the segment south of 5th Street, the bituminous
surface and aggregate base will be removed, the street regraded and
a much stronger pavement section constructed to provide for the
increased truck traffic projected for this segment.
e
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 6
. Concrete curb and gutter will be constructed along both sides of the
Robinwood Lane in order to help define the edge of the roadway and
to direct stormwater runoff to the catch basins. Driveover curb will be
installed along the perpendicular off-street parking areas. The existing
street width is proposed to be narrowed to 36 feet (measured face-of-
curb to face-of- curb) between the North Service Drive and Elmo
Service Road with the east curb line 4 feet from the east right-of-way
line in order to match the Elmo Service Road to the north.
Robinwood Lane from the Elmo Service Road to Hopkins Crossroads
will be widened to 36 feet (face-of-curb to face-of-curb) centered within
the 50' right-of-way.
The proposed pavement sections and street widths are described in
Table 2 below. Pavement section designs are influenced by the load
bearing capability of the inplace aggregate base and subgrade soils.

Along the existing bituminous offstreet parking areas, street construction will
extend 3 feet beyond the back of the proposed curb. The balance of the
parking area may be reconstructed by each property owner with costs assessed
directly back to the individual owner. The estimated cost for bituminous
parking lot reconstruction is $12.00 per square yard and the estimated cost for
concrete curb and gutter is $6.00 per linear foot.
4.2 Water
The existing trunk and lateral watermain network within the project area (see
Figure 3) is deemed adequate based on the Water Utility Master Plan, dated
. March 1990.
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 7
. The fire hydrants located at the intersection of 5th Street and Robinwood
Lane and 5th Street and Hopkins Crossroads are proposed to be replaced and
relocated behind the proposed curb. A number of existing valves and
hydrants in the area are proposed to be replaced under this project.
As the property owners review the condition of their existing service lines,
some of these lines may be replaced from the main to the building. This,
however, is up to each individual property owner since the entire cost is their
responsibility.
4.3 Sanitary Sewer
The existing sanitary sewer within the project area (see Figure 3) was televised
in October 1993. A review of the video tape and its accompanying report
indicated that there are some sags, open and misaligned joints and cracked
pipe along Robinwood Lane from the North Service Drive of TH 7 to just
north of 5th Street. The area north, from 5th Street to Hopkins Crossroads
along Robinwood Lane, exhibits root growth in the pipe joint, extensive roots
at a service connection and cracked pipes in several locations. The sanitary
sewer along Robinwood Lane has been identified by the Sewer Utility Master
Plan as a problem area. This was probably due to the roots in the joints on
the north end, the sags in the pipe line on the south end and grease build up
e in the line, all of which restrict flow. Mineral deposits were also noted in
some pipe joints on Robinwood Lane from 5th Street to the North Service
Drive of TH 7. These deposits are a sign of groundwater infiltration during
periods of high water table conditions.
It is recommended that the pipe section just north of Manhole 75 (Robinwood I
Lane - just north of the North Service Drive) containing a significant sag and
off-set joint be replaced. The pipe lengths with root growth at the joints
(Robinwood Lane - 5th Street to Hopkins Crossroads) should be considered
for chemical treatment and grouting either in conjunction with this project or
separately by City staff.
All other minor sags and cracked pipe presently cause only minor flow
restrictions and do not warrant replacement at this time. City staff however,
should continue to maintain cleaning efforts throughout these sewer lines.
A new 8 inch sanitary sewer line is proposed from Robinwood Lane north
along Elmo Service Road to the Elmo Park Water Treatment Plant holding
pond. This sewer will provide an outlet for the future wastewater discharged
from the water treatment plant.
In order to correct the severe vertical pipe deflection causing significant flow
. restriction within the existing line and to provide increased capacity, a 12 inch
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 8
. pve sanitary sewer line is proposed for placement under TH 7. This sewer
will be placed in a 20 inch steel casing pipe that will be jacked and augured
under TH 7 in order to avoid disruption of traffic.
4.4 Storm Sewer
The storm sewer along Robinwood Lane (see Figure 4) from the North
Service Drive of TH 7 to the Hopkins Crossroads was also televised in
October 1993. This report indicated that the pipe condition is fairly good with
some isolated areas of minor cracked pipe. This report also noted sand filling
one-quarter to one-half of the pipe between manholes 4, 5 and 6 along
Robinwood Lane. It is recommended that this pipe be cleaned out as it is
creating a flow restriction.
The inlet invert in manhole 10 is approximately 1 foot lower than the outlet
invert. Therefore, the section of 15 inch sewer between manholes 9 and 10
along Robinwood Lane (see Figure 4), is presently operating under pressure-
flow conditions causing upstream flow restrictions. In order to improve the
condition at manhole 10, and to maintain the same pipe capacity, this Hne is
recommended to be replaced with an 18 inch sewer pipe.
Many of the inplace catch basins along Robinwood Lane will not be located
. within the proposed curb line. With the widening of Robinwood Lane from
30' to 36', the proposed catch basins will be reconstructed in the curb line.
New grates and curb boxes will be installed on the catchbasins.
There were no complaints at the neighborhood meetings regarding flooding
due to stormwater runoff and there is no long range plan to improve the 12
inch sewer outlet pipe under TH 7. Also, the Storm Water Master Plan dated
August, 1990, did not indicate any problems in this area. Therefore, it is
recommended that the inplace system rem am and catch basins be
reconstructed at the new curb lines.
A new 12 inch and 15 inch storm sewer is planned for 5th Street, extending
approximately 200 feet west from the existing storm sewer at the intersection
of Robinwood Lane. This is to facilitate the new street grades in this area and
to promote drainage away from the existing building and into the street.
A new 12 inch to 18 inch storm sewer is planned for the Elmo Service Road
from the North Service Drive of TH 7 northerly to the northeast corner of
Elmo Service Road. This is to catch the overland surface flow along Elmo
Service Road and to provide a possible future connection point to the north.
The location of proposed storm sewer construction is shown on Figure 4.
.
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 9
. 4.5 Sidewalks
In order to meet the American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, pedestrian
ramps are proposed to be constructed in the existing sidewalk along Elmo
Road. City staff has deemed all other existing sidewalks within the project
area as access walks to private residences and would not need to meet the
ADA guidelines.
The sidewalk improvements are shown on Figure 2.
4.6 Driveway Aprons
For those driveways to residences along Robinwood Lane north of 5th Street,
a six-inch (6") thick concrete driveway apron is proposed for the full driveway.
The concrete apron will extend 5 feet from the back of curb. Those driveways
connecting existing bituminous parking lots will be replaced with bituminous
pavement. The proposed driveway apron improvements are shown on Figure
2.
4.7 Street Signing
The existing street signing, including stop signs and street name signs wi]] be
removed and replaced by the contractor. Additional "NO P ARKlNG" signs
are proposed along the west side of Robinwood Lane from the North SeIVice
. Drive to 5th Street and along Elmo Service Road all as agreed by the adjacent
property owners.
4.8 Street Lighting
Existing street lighting will remain in place and no improvements are
scheduled at this time. Some poles may need to be relocated in order to
facilitate the construction of the proposed street section.
4.9 Landscaping and Turf Restoration
In order to provide a more aesthetically desirable entrance into the Oakridge
South neighborhood, trees are proposed along the west side of Robinwood
Lane between the North SeIVice Drive and 5th Street and also along 5th
Street between Hopkins Crosstown and Robinwood Lane. To facilitate the
proposed trees, additional buffer areas will be constructed along 5th Street as
well as along Robinwood Lane between the North Service Drive and 5th
Street. The turf area behind the curb will be restored with sod following the
placement of topsoil. Those areas behind the curb which are presently
bituminous will be replaced with bituminous. See Figure 5 far a typical
proposed street cross section along Rabinwood Lane just north of North
Service Drive and Figure 6 for a before and after layaut of 5th Street. The
landscaping and turf restoration costs are included in the street costs.
.
OAKRIDGE SOUTH PAGE 10

The proposed improvements will be limited to the existing street right-of-way for 5th Street,
Robinwood Lane and Elmo Service Road. However, additional roadway easement will be
needed to accommodate the turning radiuses along Elmo Service Road. Construction
easements will be needed for work outside the right-of-way which may include parking areas
and driveway aprons. Permits will be required from the Department of Health and MPCA
for the work on the watermain and sanitary sewer respectively.

SUMMARY OF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS
.
. NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATIONAL MEETING MINUTES
OAKRIDGE SOUTH AREA IMPROVEMENT
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
DECEMBER 14, 1993
In attendance were the following people:
Lucille Soderholm 724 Robinwood Lane
Marian Moss 707 Robinwood Lane
David Haye Hopkins House
Ardyce Lebewitz Elmo Park Apartments
John Stangar Elmo Park Apartments
Lee Gustafson City of Hopkins
Jim Gessele City of Hopkins
Jon Rippke Bolton & Menk
Ron Roetzel Bolton & Menk
Jim Johnson Bolton & Menk
The key issues which were discussed at the neighborhood meeting are listed below:
. 1. Existing drainage problems are accelerating the pavement deterioration.
2. Drainage problems include the following:
a) Periodically, back flushing at the water plant causes water to flow overland
south along Robinwood Lane, through private parking lots, into the Hopkins
House parking lot, adjacent to the Hopkins House building and along and
down the north foundation wall.
b) Surface drainage from the street flows onto private property. This drainage
either flows into existing catchbasins located outside the right-of-way, or
through grass swales and eventually back onto the bituminous surface.
c) Drainage along 5th Street proceeds westerly along the north wall of the
Hopkins House and then southerly, off the right-of-way and onto adjacent
parking lots.
d) Catchbasins are located in the street surface and not along the curb and
presently do not have curb boxes.
.
NEIGHBORHOOD MTG.-12114/93 PAGE 1 OF 3
e 3. Parking is mainly off street parking. However, there is no clear distinction between
the roadway and the parking areas. This includes parking areas along Robinwood
Lane, the service road and north side of 5th Street. Entrances into parking lots
should be defined.
4. Due to the continuous pavement from the street to the parking areas, should the
parking areas be reconstructed as well?
5. Minimum street widths should match the existing width. Preferably, however, the
street width minimum should be 26' within the 30' right-of-way. Robinwood Lane is
to be considered at 36' width to account for truck movements between 5th Street and
the frontage road and to allow for parking on both sides of Robinwood Lane north
of 5th Street. 5th Street will be considered at 36' due to the probable future
rerouting of the frontage road traffic through this area.
6. A sanitary sewer extension along Robinwood Lane to the back flushing holding pond
is proposed. The existing sanitary sewer pipe in the project area has been televised.
Sag and joint problems are known to exist in the line crossing T.H.7, south of the
project area. Review of the sewer televising will be completed in Phase II.
7. The hydrant located in the island at the intersection of Robinwood Lane and 5th
e Street will probably be relocated to the east boulevard. Other hydrants win be
reviewed by City staff.
8. Sanitary sewer and water service lines are recommended for review and possible
upgrade by the property owners. The City staff would complete a televising of the
sewer service line for each property owner if requested.
9. The letter dated December 9, 1993, from the MPCA to Mr. Dave Hayes, Hopkins
House, indicates that a release of petroleum has occurred from the storage tank
facilities along 5th Street and has resulted in contamination of soils and/or ground
water. Hopefully, this matter can be resolved privately before construction begins
this summer.
10. Dumpsters should be placed in a designated location.
11. Boulevard areas, including newly created buffer zones along Robinwood Lane and
5th Street, will be considered for additional landscaping, mainly trees with open
grates.
12. Pavement tests were completed on Robinwood Lane, 5th Street, the service road and
Elmo Road. The pavement and subgrade were generally found to be in goad
condition. The status of Elmo Road win be discussed between the City staff and the
. Elmo Park owners.
NEIGHBORHOOD MTG.-12/I4193 PAGE 2 OF 3
. 13. The right-turn only exit from T.H.7 onto the frontage road and Robinwood Lane
intersection should be reviewed for improving the layout and traffic movement.
Possible signage improvements will also be considered.
14. Owners of single family residences on Robinwood Lane, north of 5th Street,
expressed mixed concerns about the street width. Widening would help with the on-
street parking congestion but residents wouldn't want to risk losing trees.
There was considerable interest in the cost and assessments required for this project. Mr.
Jim Gessele discussed the assessment policy and indicated that no costs have been compiled
as of this date. Following this discussion, the meeting was adjourned.

e PROPERTY OWNER MEETING MINUTES
OAKRIDGE SOUTH AREA IMPROVEMENTS
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
JANUARY 4, 1994
These minutes are a summarization of the meetings with most of the property owners which
will be impacted by the Oakridge South Improvements.
1. Hopkins House - Dave Hayes
A. Drainage
Mr. Hayes indicated that whenever the water treatment facility backflushed,
a significant amount of water would t10w down the street surface, hit the north
side of the Hopkins House and at times, flow under the north access door.
This issue will be addressed from two sides, the first is the improvements to
the water treatment plant which would eliminate the need for backflushing
into the storm sewer. The second is the addition of full concrete curb and
gutter along Robinwood Lane and 5th Street adjacent to the north wall of the
Hopkins House. This will redirect the typical rain runoff away from the
. building wall. During our site drive-over, it was suggested that a catch basin
should be installed behind the curb in the low area, adjacent to the building.
B. Street WidthIParking/Access
It was indicated by Mr. Hayes that he does not need the parking along
Robinwood Lane just north of the frontage road. A street width of 36 feet
would be adequate, however, prohibiting the parking of trucks in this area
would allow better access for his delivery trucks.
Mr. Hayes also indicated that there is adequate parking for the Hopkins
patrons either in the parking area adjacent to the building or in the overflow
lot north of 5th Street. Two access points into the parking lot north of 5th
Street would be adequate. Location of these openings could align with
openings on the south side of 5th Street.
Access for truck deliveries to the northwest corner of the building was critical.
Additional length of drive-over curb is needed beginning at the northwest
corner of the building and proceeding west along 5th Street is needed to allow
for the truck turning movements.
2. Liquor Store - Ed Swadden
The key issue here is access. A meeting with Mr. Swadden indicated that he would
e be willing to eliminate the access point near the 5th Street;Hopkins Crosstown
intersection if a right-in/entrance"only access point was granted from Hopkins
Crosstown near the southwest corner of the property. However, during our site
drive-over, it was noted that delivery trucks block the second access in the northeast
corner of the property and that the right-in only access from the Hopkins Crosstown
PROPERTY OWNER MTG.-l/4194 PAGEIOF3
. would not be feasible during this project. Therefore, it was suggested at this time to
narrow the opening near the 5th StreetlHopkins Crosstown intersection to 26 feet
and continue with the two access points along 5th Street.
3. Laundromat - Herb Mason
Mr. Mason was not available last week to meet with us. However, based on
comments from Mr. Hayes, Hopkins House, we will keep the 900 parking along the
north side of the laundromat but provide curb islands to delineate the parking area
from the driveway access points on both the east and west sides of the parking area,
all along the south side of 5th Street. We will send a site layout plan to Mr. Mason
for comment.
4. Elmo Park Apartments - Ardyce Lebewitz
A. Drainage/Street Curb
Present drainage catch basins on private property will remain in place. The
street drainage, however, will be redirected along the new curb lines and into
the public storm sewer. Street grades will be lowered as much as possible in
order to allow the parking areas to drain into the street. However, there was
not a commitment at this time to reconstruct the parking areas beyond 3 feet
of the new curb and gutter. Therefore, the curb grades will need to match the
existing parking areas with a reasonable 3 foot transition. The City agreed to
. pay for the bituminous repair 3 feet behind the new curb.
B. Street WidthlParking
The street width of the service road and Robinwood Lane (just south of the
treatment plant) will be 26 feet. The service road will be centered on the 30'
right-of-way and Robinwood Lane will match the west curb line with the west
30' right-of-way line. This will allow for additional boulevard width along the
east side of Robinwood Lane from the service road south to the frontage
road.
Due to the need for parking by the patrons of the apartments, it was agreed
to provide driver-over curb around the corners of the intersection of the
service road and Robinwood Lane as well as the northeast corner of the
service road. This radius would allow for emergency vehicle access and would
require a roadway easement as well as a temporary construction easement.
Ms. Lebewitz indicated that parking along Robinwood Lane just north of the
frontage road could be prohibited and a 36' width is adequate. However,
during the site drive-over, it was suggested that this width be 42 feet to
provide for the occasional parking which does occur here. This will allow for
maneuverability of delivery trucks as well as garbage trucks.
. C. SidewalklU tilitieslDumpsters/Misc.
Sidewalks along the frontage road and Robinwood Lane were designed for
access to private property and not a public walkway. Therefore, no
reconstruction for curb cuts and pedestrian ramps will be necessary. The
PROPERTY OWNER MTG.-1/4194 PAGE 2 OF 3
. sidewalk along Elmo Road, however, will be evaluated against the City
sidewalk ordinance in order to determine if pedestrian ramps are necessary.
The overhead electrical utilities will remain in place. There will be a couple
of power poles (one significant) along the east side of Robinwood Lane which
will need to be relocated.
Trash dumpsters will be established in a designated location with a 6 inch
concrete pad.
Sanitary sewer service lines will be televised by the owner. Of particular
interest is the service on the east side of Robinwood Lane which flows under
the dumpster location and has a history of bi-annual cleaning.
The privacy fence along the east side of Robinwood Lane will be removed and
replaced.

. NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATIONAL MEETING MINUTES
OAKRIDGE SOUTH AREA IMPROVEMENTS
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
JANUARY 26, 1994, 7:00 P.M.
In attendance were the following people:
1. Larry Lutz, School District #270
2. John Okerstrom, Hopkins House
3. Ardyce Lebewitz, Elmo Park Apartments
4. Keith Scott, Oakridge Golf Course
5. Lee Gustafson & Jim Gessele, City of Hopkins
6. Ron Roetzel & Jon Rippke, Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Introductions were made of all those present and Mr. Gustafson presented the background
of the project in that it was initiated by City staff and would require a 4/5 vote by the City
Council on March 15, 1994, in order to proceed with the construction of the project. Prior
to this date, however, the Feasibility Report will be presented to the City Council on
February 15, 1994, and with a public improvement hearing tentatively scheduled for March
. 15, 1994. The balance of the proposed schedule was discussed with the June 7th date noted
as the public assessment hearing. It was stated that this schedule is still tentative and subject
to revisions. The public, however, will be notified of the public improvement hearing as well
as public assessment hearing.
Ron Roetzel, Bolton & Menk, presented the proposed street improvements which included
the following:
1. Widening Robinwood Lane north of 5th Street from 30 feet to 36 feet.
2. Narrowing Robinwood Lane south of 5th Street from 44 feet to 36 feet. On-street
parking would be prohibited along this section of Robinwood Lane. Additional
landscaping is proposed. See attached sketch, Figure 5.
3. 5th Street will be narrowed from 50 feet to 36 feet. Curb islands are proposed along
the north and south sides of 5th Street in order to establish the edge of the roadway
and the parking lot entrances. On-street parking will continue to be prohibited along
this roadway. Additional landscaping is proposed for the roadway. (See attached
sketch, Figure 6).
4. Elmo Service Drive will be widened from 20 feet to 26 feet width, centered along the
existing 30 foot right-of-way. A roadway easement will be required in the northeast
. and northwest corners of Elmo Service Drive in order to accommodate the 50' curb
radius. A 40' radius is proposed at the intersection of Elmo Service Drive and
Robinwood Lane. These larger radii are needed to provide adequate turning space
for emergency vehicles and to delineate the edge of roadway from the private parking
areas. Mr. Lutz, School District 270 representative, indicated an interest of placing
NEIGHBORHOOD MTG.-1126194 PAGEIOF2
. additional trees along the east side of Elmo Service Drive. However, also under
consideration for this area is additional off-street parking. Mr. Lutz will discuss this
with City staff.
5. Concrete curb and gutter, Design B618, is proposed along all of the street
improvements. Drive over curb, Design D418, is proposed along all of the
perpendicular parking areas along Robinwood Lane and Elmo Service Drive.
6. Proposed utilities were discussed including the storm sewer extension along 5th
Street, the sanitary sewer extension along Elmo Service Drive and various repair
areas still under review. The hydrants along the north Robinwood Lane will be
relocated behind the new curb. The hydrant at the Robinwood Lane and 5th Street
intersection as well as the one at Hopkins Crossroads and 5th Street will be removed
and replaced with a new hydrant.
7. Ms. Lebewitz and others expressed concern with disruption of traffic, construction
schedules and blocked streets. The owners were asked to notify City staff when a
particular event is scheduled and access is critical. The contractor could work around
these events in order to minimize the disruption.
8. The owners were informed that both the watermain service and the sanitary sewer
. service from the main to the building is their responsibility. Therefore, if they know
of any service lines which are giving them trouble, they should request a
repair/replacement at this time.
9. Mr. Scott indicated that there was a drainage agreement between property owners
which allowed a drain tile (presently in the north side of Elmo Park Apartments and
south of Elmo Service Drive) to flow under Elmo Service Drive near the northeast
corner and outlet onto the golf course property. Further investigation of this system
win be completed during the design phase.
Mr. Jim Gessele then presented the City assessment policy and the basis for determining the
preliminary assessments. A copy of the preliminary assessment schedule is attached. Several
questions arose regarding individual parcels. Concerns were also expressed about the timing
of the assessments and the owner's inability to include the work in their 1994 budgets.
Following assurances that the property owners would have an opportunity to discuss their
concerns with the council, the meeting was adjourned.
