TH 52 Frontage Road Turnback � S' CITY OF ROSIIKOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 4, 1994 AGENDA ITEM: TH52 Frontage Road Turn Back AGEND,A SECTION: Old Business PREPARED BY: Bud Osmundson � AGENDA N City Engineer/Assistant Public Works Dir. �1'EM � � ATTACHMENTS: Resolution 1993-117 and New AP Y: Resolution � � At the November 16, 1993 City Council meeting the TH52 corridor study was adopted by the City and became part of the City of Rosemount's Comprehensive Guide Plan. Resolution "1993-117" is attached which adopted the study. At that meeting, it was discussed that through the proposed cooperative �greement with MnDat for safety improvements along TH52, the frontage road along the Koch side was to be extended northerly to 117th Street in Inver Grove Heights. MnDot would then turn back or release this frontage road to the two cities of Inver Grove Heights and Rosemount. The portion in Rosemount is approximately 1.21 miles in length after the proposed improvements are completed. The Council discussed at length the idea of having this frontage road turned back to the City. It should be noted that MnDot can release or turn back a street or highway to a lessor governmental agency when it seems apprapriate. In other words the City really has no choice in the matter. However, the Council as part of the resolution adopting the corridor study, introduced item number 3 in the resolution which stated that ��The_ frontage road shall not be the responsibility af the City of Rosemount and that in this respect the study is deficient. ° We had a meeting with MnDot regarding this statement in the resolution. They have told me that without the City of Rosemount's acceptance of the frontage road they will not go ahead with a cooperative agreement for the proposed project. This could delay the proposed praject two to three years. This project is a high priority, safety concern to many citizens, businesses, government entities and this should include the City of Rosemount. The fact is, is that safety concerns initiated the TH52 corridor study originally. Staff feels that the turn back of the 1.2 miles of frontage road to the City will not have an adverse affect on maintenance budget. Koch has snow plowed this frontage road in the past and has verbally agreed to continue this arrangement with the City of Rosemount. A formal agreement must be written up and adopted by both Koch and the City in the near future. MnDot has agreed to overlay the frontage road at their cost with the proposed project. Therefore, the Cit�}r of Rosemount will not have any maintenanee costs on this frontage road in the next five to ten years. In the future, overlays which improve the structural integrity of the road could be assessed to the benefiting property owners, in this case being Koch Refining. Qther small items of main.tenance will not cost the City a significant amount in the future. At some futixre date as more development occurs in the area, this road could be vacated by the City and "turned back° to Koch if proper City access is available. Attached is a resolution which was requested by MnDot and will keep the proposed safety improvements on track for construction in 1994. Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
