Council Report 2006-047
Municipal State Aid Street Designations
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council adopt
Resolutions 2006-026 and 2006-027. resolutions revisina the Citv's municipal state aid
(MSA) street desianations.
Overview.
The city is allowed to designate up to 20% of its improved streets as MSA streets,
Accordingly, we're allowed to designate a maximum of 9.55 miles. We currently have
9.31 miles designated. These proposed changes would increase our mileage to 9.50
miles. Staff wants to keep our MSA street network set up such that we meet all the
rules and also maximize the amount of our annual allotment from the State. When the
city vacated 6th Avenue South as a part of the SuperValu Perishable Warehouse
expansion project we lost .29 miles from the system. We have now received informal
approval from the State Aid Office to designate this segment of Washington Avenue as
an MSA street. City Council resolutions are necessary to revise the MSA street system
as follows:
. Revoke MSA street desi~nation on vacated 6th Avenue South from 3rd Street South
to 5th Street South and 5 Avenue south from Excelsior Boulevard to 3rd Street S
. Add MSA street designation to Mainstreet and Washington Avenue from 5th
Avenue to Minnetonka Mills Road
Primary Issues to Consider.

. Public notification/response - impact to property owners
See attached letter sent to abutting property owners. Staff received no phone calls or
emails regarding this street designation. There is little impact to the abutting property
owners as described in the notification letter. There is the potential for future lower
assessments as the current policy lowers the assessment rate from 70% to 50% for
single family properties abutting major city streets, i.e., MSA streets

Dear Washington Avenue resident:
City staff is proposing to designate Washinaton Avenue from Mainstreet to 2nd Street
N,E. as a municipal state aid (MSA) street - see map on backside of letter. A MSA
street is one in which the city is eligible to spend state gas tax funds to repair or
reconstruct the road, A city is authorized to designate 20% of its total street mileage as
MSA streets, This change is being proposed in order to replace a segment of 6th
Avenue South lost due to the SuperValu campus redevelopment, meet State Aid rules
for street designation and to maximize the city's annual apportionment of state gas tax
revenue. There is no proposed changed use of Washington Avenue. Designating this
- street as a MSA street does not mean higher traffic volumes. The city is not anticipating
a street improvement project, other than possibly a mill and overlay project, on
Washington Avenue within the next five years. City staff intends to request approval of
this MSA street designation at the City Council Meeting on Tuesday, April 18.
There are certain stipulations that go along with designating a street as an MSA street.
They are:
. Street must remain open to trucks
. Certain design criteria apply to street reconstruction, i.e., urban streets must
have concrete curb and gutter, be a minimum 32' wide (with parking on one side)
or 38' wide (with parking on both sides). This road is currently 35' wide. There is
a variance procedure where it is possible to deviate from the MSA standards.
. City street assessments reduced from 70% to 50% of construction cost for single
family residential properties
If you have questions or comments on this proposed MSA street designation, please
call me at 952-548-6350 or email atsstadler@hopkinsmn.com.
Sincerely,
Steven J, Sta ler
