EngineerlPublic Works Director Date: April 22, 1999 Reg. No. 19156 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Project#306 provides for the installation of a structural bituminous overlay on 131 st Street, Charlston Way and Charlston Court in Rosemount Hills Third Addition in Rosemount. The Project is feasible from an engineering standpoint and can best be accomplished under one contract. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $67,800.00. The funding for the project will come from assessments to benefited properties and the 1999 Operating Budget. The project can be initiated in June and completed within a month. INTRODUCTION The City's Pavement Management System has identified that 131 st Street, Charlston Way and Charlston Court in Rosemount Hills Third Addition require a structural bituminous overlay at this time. The three streets were initially constructed in 1983.Charlston Court, Charlston Way and 131st Street were sealcoated in 1989 and 1991. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS The proposed improvementswill include the removal and replacement of bad sections of pavement and leveling, where required. After this work is complete, a 1 '/2' bituminous overlay will be installed and compacted. Class 2 shouldering material will then be placed and compacted along the edge of the street. FINANCING The estimated cost of the project is approximately $67,800.00. The project will be financed by a combination of the 1999 Operating Budget which will cover 65% of the cost or$44,070.00. The remaining 35%will be covered by assessments to the benefiting properties or$23,730.00. It has been determined that there are 32 residential units in the project area, all single family homes. Using the "Unit Method" (or per lot method), the total estimated cost for assessments would be $742.00 per lot.

The Rosemount City Council requests Dakota County to grant a variance to the strict enforcement of the Dakota County Access Spacing Guidelines for the Oakridge Estates development because strict enforcement of the Dakota County Access Spacing Guidelines would cause unnecessary hardship, be unreasonable and impracticable, and be unfeasible under the circumstances; and further, the Rosemount City Council believes a variance to the strict enforcement of the Dakota County Access Spacing Guidelines would benefit the operation of the county roadway system, all for the following reasons and based upon the following findings : 1 . Oakridge Estates is a development of an existing parcel of land consisting of approximately 53 . 28 acres and with approximately 1300 feet of frontage on Dakota County Highway 38, currently improved with one residential housing unit and an access to Dakota County Highway 38 . The land is located in Rosemount' s rural residential zoning district, which provides for a density of one housing unit per five acres of land. In conformity with Rosemount' s zoning ordinance, Oakridge Estates consists of 10 residential lots, all of which are approximately 5 acres in size . The nine additional housing units accessing Dakota County Highway 38 from the subject property will not significantly impact travel upon or use of the highway. The land is not located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and it is not planned or anticipated that sewer and water will be available until well into the 21st century, if at all . 2 . Throughout Rosemount' s Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plans, commencing with our initial plan in 1972 and continuing with the currently pending 1998 Comprehensive Guide Plan Update, Rosemount has sought to preserve large areas of land for large lot, rural residential development in order to help promote a rural residential ambience which Rosemount desires to maintain as well as to foster unique living and housing opportunities to its citizens desiring rural residential housing lifestyles . 3 . In the mid to late 1980' s when Dakota County Highway 38 was upgraded from a two lane gravel road to a two lane paved road, when Rosemount participated in the funding for the upgrading of the road and assessed its citizens abutting upon the road for part of the costs of the upgrading, Rosemount did not contemplate that such upgrading would result in a restriction of access to the road to 1/4 mile spacing, a spacing more consistent with busy, well-traveled thoroughfares than with rural residential development . 4 . The land comprising Oakridge Estates was assessed for Dakota County Highway 38 road improvements on a basis of ten residential lots for approximately $18, 000 . 00 . 5 . Under Rosemount' s existing zoning ordinance and land subdivision ordinances, the subject property could be subdivided in such a manner to provide for six lots with at least 200 feet of frontage on Dakota County Highway 38, all of which would be entitled to access under Rosemount' s zoning and subdivision ordinances. 6 . The access opposite to the eastern most access of Danbury Way onto Dakota County Highway 38, which access the Dakota County Planning Commission recommended in its correspondence to the City of Rosemount dated March 22 , 1999, in order to maintain a 1/4 mile spacing distance from Shannon Parkway, is unfeasible because it requires the cooperation of the land owner adjoining the Oakridge Estates development to cooperate with the location of a street upon his property in the location of his present driveway, which the adjoining land owners are unwilling to do. It is not the policy of the City of Rosemount to condemn lands to facilitate development of other lands, particularly under circumstances where the land has 1300 feet of frontage on an existing road. 7 . The access opposite to the eastern most access of Danbury Way onto Dakota County Highway 38, which access the Dakota County Planning Commission recommended in its correspondence to the City of Rosemount dated March 22, 1999, in order to maintain a 1/4 mile spacing distance from Shannon Parkway, is less desirable and appropriate from public safety perspectives and hence the operation of the county roadway system, for the following reasons : a) the location desired by the Dakota County Plat Commission adversely affects both left turns and right turns from Oakridge Estates due to the topography of Dakota County Highway 38; whereas, the location as proposed for Oakridge Estates only marginally adversely impacts left turns from Oakridge Estates . Automobiles traveling east on Dakota County Highway 38, coming over the hill at the Danbury Way location, will be traveling in the same direction as left turns from Oakridge Estates, with site and reaction distances more satisfactory than that afforded by the Danbury Way access location; and b) the location of the access on Oakridge Estates is in approximately the same location as the current access driveway to the subject property, is located approximately in the middle of the subject property' s frontage on Dakota County Highway 38, and observes approximately 1/8 mile spacing distances from Shannon Parkway and the eastern most access of Danbury Way, which spacing the City of Rosemount believes most appropriate for the location of the access to Oakridge Estates . 8 . To deny all access to the subject property will prevent the property owner from enjoying the same or similar rights enjoyed by other properties in the area and will prohibit the City of Rosemount from allowing development of its rural residential district . 9 . The allowing of the access to Oakridge Estates as proposed will not be damaging to the rights of other properties in the same area or district since it is located in the middle of the subject property, and hence it has the least impact upon adjoining properties, maintaining an approximate 1/8 mile spacing from the two nearest street access locations on Dakota County Highway 38 . 10 . The allowing of the access as proposed for Oakridge Estates provides a more aesthetic development plan than would otherwise be necessitated by the location of the access proposed by the Dakota County Plat Commission because of double frontage lots, non-uniform size of lots, and negative impacts of the transmission line easement traversing the subject property on more lots . cl ients\1848.000\oakridge �� s- `' i� �� a��. �� l�� r,2 . ��,�e � ,� ) Gv-��(X� �G� ��"� ��- � ` ` /I ,��.�� / • � �� , �� - �� `�� v�/Z� �-e:�t� � �� - � � '� _ _
