CR 91-01 LRT - Downtown Hopkins
.
January 2, 1991 Council Report: 91-1
- LRT - DOWNTOWN HOPKINS
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve in
concept the principles contained within Hennepin County Reqional Railroad
Authority Resolution No. 83R-HCRRA-90 and direct staff to prepare an
agreement with the HCRRA.
Approval of this motion will provide staff with formal direction on the
preparation of an agreement with the HCRRA, as well as allow work to
continue on the proposed grocery store/retail project in downtown Hopkins.
Overview.
On 12/18/90 the HCRRA approved Resolution No. 83R-HCRRA-90 (see attached)
which directed County staff to work with the City of Hopkins on the
preparation of an agreement that takes into consideration the various
principles outlined in the resolution. The adoption of the resolution was
a culmination of approximately a years worth of effort by the City to
persuade the County to allow a grocery store/retail project to be
constructed over the northern route of the Southwest LRT Corridor which
extends through downtown Hopkins.
The resolution adopted by the HCRRA provides two options to the HCRRA for
extending LRT through downtown Hopkins, and at the same time allow for the
proposed project between 6th & 8th Avenues. These options are as follows:
. A. Extend LRT using the 9th Avenue route. The use of 9th Avenue could
be exercised at anytime.
B. Extend LRT along the existing corridor through the redevelopment
project. The HCRRA agrees to not undertake the extension for at
least 20 years. Furthermore, the HCRRA agrees to compensate the
future owners of the redevelopment project for any loss in value or
damage which may be incurred as a result of the extension with the
total actual compensation not to exceed $7.5 million.
Assuming the City Council approves the motion as recommended, city staff
and HCRRA staff will prepare the agreement and submit it to the HCRRA and
City Council for final approval.

0 What obligations must the city meet based upon the items contained in
the resolution?
- The HRA would agree to purchase the,HCRRA right-of-way located in
the redevelopment project area between 6th & 8th Avenues. The
purchase price would be based upon fair market value and is
estimated at this time to amount to roughly $160,000. The city,
would then transfer ownership of the property of the LRT right-of-
way to the developer along with. other properties the city may need
to assemble to accommodate the project. It would appear the City
would be reimbursed for all or a part of the acquisition expense at
the time the city transfers the property to the developer.
- The HCRRA mUst be given an easement to allow them to extend LRT
along the existing corridor in the future, subject to the other
provisions contained within the resolution.
- The city must provide permanent LRT easements to the HCRRA to allow
for the realignment of the northern route of the Southwest Corridor
to 9th Avenue. The easements would be granted at the same time as
the HCRRA transfers title of its property to the city. The
easements would be located as follows:
. . on City owned boulevard along the south side of County Road 3
between T.H. 169 to 9th Avenue.
. an easement up to 28' in width along 9th Avenue between county
Road 3 and First Street North. It would also be understood that
the County could exercise the rights to use the easement at any
time it so desired.
0 What impacts will the proposed approach have on the city?
- The potential exists that the County would extend an LRT line using
the 9th Avenue corridor. This possibility does crea.te potential
traffic impact along 9th Avenue. These traffic impacts have been
identified by Benshoof & Associates (see attached report) and are
summarized below. The attached resolution does speak to potential
traffic impacts by indicating that further study needs to be made if
the 9th Avenue corridor was chosen.
. Left turns across the LRT tracks from County Road 3 to First
Street North are expected to be allowed only at Mainstreet. This
results in all private driveways functioning as right-in and/or
right-out only.
. At First Street South only through movements and right turns are
available.
. . At First Street North, the north leg of the intersection is
expected to be closed and the transit line curve to the northwest.
As a result, the only movements available are through movements on
First Street North and right turns from northbound 9th Avenue to
Eastbound First Street North.

. No parking will be allowed on the street.
. Exi~ting utilities in the street will need to be relocated.
- If the County should desire to buyout the proposed redevelopment
project and extend LRT along the existing corridor, the potential
exists that a grocery store project would not exist in as early as 20
years or, at a minimum, the grocery store project could be
redeveloped into some other type of retail development. To a certain
extent, the city and developer may have the ability to influence
whether or not the County utilizes the 9th Avenue route or the
existing corridor in the future. If the development were planned
such that extending LRT through the site would have a lesser impact
on costs associated with buying out the development, the County may
wish to utilize the existing corridor. Conversely, if the site were
developed in a manner such that it would be prohibitively expensive
for the County to buy the property, the County may opt to use 9th
Avenue as an alternative route for LRT. This is not an issue that
necessarily needs to be addressed at this time. It is one that will
be important as the development project proceeds.
.0 What alternative sites are available for the proposed grocery store
project?
The site between 6th and 8th Avenue was chosen for the redevelopment
project for various reasons, including:
- site is currently under utilized.
- expense to redevelop site is less due to under utilization of the
property.
- the site will provide an anchor for the east end of Mainstreet.
- the site is of a size sufficient to accommodate the proposed
development and provide the necessary off-street parking.
- it is difficult to locate other sites in the downtown which provide
the same benefits as the proposed site. If another site were
chosen, it would appear the expense for undertaking the project
could rise substantially due to the need to purchase property with a
higher intensity use and higher acquisition costs. In the past, the
Bursch property has been identified as a possible site for the
grocery store. Staff has determined that the amount of space
necessary for the grocery store, based upon preliminary site plans,
is not available on this property.
other sites for a grocery store proj ect, other than in downtown Hopkins,
include the property at County Road 3 & 11th Avenue or the pines Mobile
Home Park property.

Alternatives.
The city Council has the following alternatives with regards to this
matter:
1. Approve the recommendation as m~de by staff.
2. Deny staffs recommendation. This action would have an impact on
progress towards achieving the proposed grocery store redevelopment
project on the site between 6th & 8th Avenues.
3. Approve staffs recommendation with modifications to those items
which the City would agree to commit to. This would probably
require the city to reapproach the County on the proposed changes.
4. Table matter for further information.

MEMORANDUM REFER TO FILE:
TO: Jim Kerrigan
FROM: Mitch Wonson ~
RE: - Analysis of Access Changes on 9th Ave.
Resulting from Light Rail Transit Turning
Movement Restrictions '
Purpose and ~Backqround
The purpose of this memorandum is to present the results of
our analysis of the changes in access along 9th Ave.
resulting from the potential Light Rail Transit Corridor.
Construction of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) in, the 9th Ave.
. corridor is expected to result in turn movement restrictions
at ,both public street intersections and at individual
property driveways. Figure 1 presents the turn movements
~. expected to be available after LRT construction. Key points
which can be noted from Figure 1 include:
'. Left Turns across the LRT tracks from Co. Rd. '3 to 1st
st. No. are expected to be allowed only at Main street.
This results in all private driveways functioning as
right in and/or right out only.
. At 1st st. So. only through movements and right turns
are available. -
. At 1st st. No. , the north leg of the intersection is
expected to be closed and the transit line curve'~o the
northwest. As a result, the only movements available
are through movements on 1st st. No. and right turns
from Northbound 9th Ave. to Eastbound 1st st. No..
ACCESS ROUTE CHANGES
The access route changes were analyzed in the context of
four major approach directions:
. . To/from the west on Main street
. To/from the east on Main street
. To/from the west on Co~ Rd. 3
To/from the east on Co. Rd. 3 .
.
Mr. Jim Kerrigan -2- June 11, 1990
.
Graphic illustrations of the route changes have been
prepared for the six block faces along 9th Ave. from Co. Rd.
3 to 1st st. No. These graphics illustrate only the new
routes which must be utilized for ingress or egress as'a
result of LRT construction and depict the most convenient
new route. The existing routes which must change are not
shown. Also, existing routes which are not affected are not
shown.
Figures 2-7 present the access route changes. Key aspects
of each are summarized below.
Figure 2 presents the new routes for the block north of Co.
Rd. 3, west of 9th Ave. One inbound route is affected while
three outbound routes change. The full movement access
points to the Car Care (11th Ave. S.) and Post Office (1st
st. So.) are not affected.
Figure 3 presents the block north of Co. Rd. 3, east of 9th
Ave. Three inbound routes and one outbound route are
affected.
Figure 4 presents the 'routes for the block north of 1st st.
. s,o., west of 9th Ave. Two inbound and three outbound routes
are changed. Full movement access on 1st st. So. for the
parking area south of the park is unaffected.
Figure 5 shows the block north of 1st st. So., east of 9th
Ave. Three inbound and, two outbound routes are changed.
Full movement access points for the Clinic at 1st st. So.
and public parking lot at 8th Ave. So. are unaffected.
Figure 6 shows the route changes for the block north of ,Main
st., west of 9th Ave. All inbound movements are changed
from 9th Ave. to 10th Ave. Given the restrictions at 1st
st. No., no inbound movements on 9th Ave. are expectea to
occur. Outbound movements to Main st.jCo. Rd. 3 do not
change.
Figure 7 presents the route changes for the block north of
Main st., east of 9th Ave. No inbound movements from Main
st. and Co. Rd. 3 are changed. However, access from 1st st.
No. will be infeasible given restrictions at the 9th
Ave.jlst st. No. intersection. All outbound movements are
changed. The full movement access points fof the public
parking area adjacent to 8th Ave. No. are unaffected.
