07.
BACKGROUND
On November 19, 2013, the City Council received the Feasibility Report for public improvements
related to the Bella Vista development. One of the roads identified in the report was Autumn Path.
Autumn Path’s alignment is proposed to weave between the Bella Vista property and the
neighboring property (PID 34-02200-25-010). As the neighboring property has not dedicated
needed right-of-way, Autumn Path has not yet been constructed. The developer does not have
access to the future Bella Vista 7th Addition until Autumn Path is constructed.
On June 4, 2019, the City Council approved the final plat for Caramore Crossing on the neighboring
property (PID 34-02200-25-010). A condition of approval for this plat is the dedication of a
roadway, drainage and utility easement to allow construction of Autumn Path to the northern
property line. The Caramore Crossing developer, DR Horton, intends to plat and dedicate the
easement in spring of 2020. In order to begin construction of Autumn Path early spring/summer of
2020, the design work would be scheduled for winter 2019.
On October 15, 2019, the City Council approved a contract for engineering services with WSB and
ordered an update of the Feasibility Report for Autumn Path that was included with the Bella Vista
development. Detailed project information is included in the Feasibility Report available on file in
the Engineering Department. The report found this project, as proposed, to be feasible, cost
effective, and necessary.
The Autumn Path Improvement Project, City Project 2019-07, would consist of construction of a
42-foot wide asphalt collector roadway with curb and gutter. Pedestrian facilities will include trail
and sidewalk on each side of the road. Storm pipe will be constructed to ponds within the Bella
2
and sidewalk on each side of the road. Storm pipe will be constructed to ponds within the Bella
Vista development. Watermain will be installed the full length of the road and some sanitary sewer.
The resolution calls the Public Improvement Hearing on December 3rd, 2019, which is a necessary
step under the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. A full presentation of the proposed improvements
will be made at the Hearing.
COSTS & FUNDING
The estimated cost for the project is $1,738,000. This amount includes a 10% increase for
contingency and 25% increase for incidentals such as engineering, legal, financing and administrative
costs. The cost by improvement type is shown in the table below:

The design and construction costs for the Autumn Path Improvement Project, City Project 2019-07,
are budgeted in the proposed 2020-2029 CIP in the amount of $1,510,000 for 2022. The funding
anticipated for the project is shown in the table below. The street improvements will be funded by
developer fees and assessment of abutting property. The City is ordering a special benefit appraisal
of the benefitting property to assist with determination of the assessment amount. The Street
Improvement Project (SIP) fund would cover shortfall from assessments. Utility work would be
funded by the respective utility core funds.
