Attachments: 2 Special City Council March 9, 2021 Agenda Number:2.1 To:Dave Callister, City Manager Prepared by:Steve Juetten Reviewed by: Item:Discuss County Road 73 Area Study 1. Action Requested: Provide direction to staff on future planning for the area in the vicinity of County Road 73 and Old County Road 15. 2. Background: Over the past couple of years staff has talked to a few developers interested in redeveloping the Apostolic Lutheran Church property located at 11015 Old County Road 15 (at the intersection of County Road 73 and Old County Road 15) and the three large single family parcels directly to the south. In 2018, United Properties presented a sketch plan to the City Council for a senior facility on a few of the parcels. Lastly, in 2020, Council approved the purchase of an outlot directly east of the new Starbucks for the potential future realignment of County Road 73. Staff requests direction on what planning process Council would like to follow for planning of potential future redevelopment of these parcels and other properties in the area. Currently, neighborhood discussions with commercial and residential property owners in the area have not occurred and would be a part of any process. Staff has attached a presentation to facilitate the discussion. 3. Budget Impact: Budget impact will be determined based on the direction of the Council. 4. Attachments: Presentation 3 Co. Rd. 73 and Old Co. Rd. 15 4 Co. Rd. 73 and Old Co. Rd. 15 •Establish Goals (How do we think?) •Study Boundaries •Conversations with Departments •Small Area Plan? •Future Land Use Options •What to include in the Study/Plan •Traffic Study? •Wetland Delineation? •Moratorium? •Acquisition? •Neighborhood Participation/Process 5 6 Parks Comments •LaCompte Park •Park is way too small (the park is a playfield and 6.34 acres is too small to provide desired playfield amenities) •Would like to expand the park, really the only park in the southeast •Parcels east and west would be great •Active space and parking •Drainage on parcel south of park is poor and snow melt and large rain events flood some of the park –this may be somewhat caused by the parcels to the south damming the water flow to get access to the rear of the parcels •Open space •Back of three parcels south of LaCompte Park (similar to parcels further south) •Much of the land was purchased with open space bonds and cannot be used for paved trails or active uses •Trail •Trail along Old Co. Rd. 15 (one side or another) •Trail connection will be necessary between Old Co. Rd. 15 and future Three Rivers Trail along Co. Rd. 73 7 Public Works Comments •Will this be a “small area plan”? •Is the reason for the study development driven or city driven? •Drainage •Agreed that drainage to the park is an issue •Idea that the back 2/3rds of 418, 408 and 406 Zachary should be added to the park property to the south. •Possibly create a wetland bank of all this area. •A drainage issue currently exists from Co. Rd. 73 that runs through the park property north of 314 Zachary and then across the back corner of this property •Transportation •Important to figure out the Hwy 55 frontage road connection to future Co. Rd. 73, which may never provide the desired separation from Hwy 55 •Possibly close the east/west section of Old Co. Rd. 15 in front of Station 73 and keep the leg in front of the church. This would close the Old Co. Rd. 15 connection by Co. Rd. 73 at 55 and place it future south on Co. Rd. 73. (this was included the discussion of closing the section of Co. Rd. 73 in front of the church) –both should be looked at •Sunset Trial should create a T intersection with Co. Rd. 73 •If BRT, Station 73 will be a hub, access will need to be considered (see second item above). •SRF (Mona) is the lead on the BRT study •We should have a conversation with Hennepin County as part of the study. •Land Use •Possibly the commercial/office parcels between Old Co. Rd. 15 and Hwy 55 could be future Transit Oriented Development parcels if ever redeveloped) •If the section of Co. Rd. 73 in front of the church is eliminated could the current properties north of this be redeveloped with the church property as on larger parcel rather than separating the land use north/south 8 Econ. Development Comments •Need to establish goals (how we think about the area?) •What should the size of the redevelopment area be? •What are we looking for in the end? •What do we want accomplished? •What questions do we want answered? •Define outcomes •What we want accomplished: •Straighten Co. Rd. 73 •Clean up the area •? •General Thoughts: •Eventually we could have service uses along Hwy 55, especially if we get BRT and Station 73 is a station •The larger the redevelopment parcel the better •Don’t see much retail potential along Co. Rd. 73 •We think Strikers will stay 9 Three Rivers Comments •Eagle Lake to Bryant Lake Regional Trail •Three Rivers is currently developing a master plan •Website just went live a week ago (https://www.letstalkthreerivers.org/eagle-to-bryant-lake-regional-trail) •Master plan expected to be completed in mid-2021 •They believe at this point that Co. Rd. 73 right-of-way is wide enough to add a ten-foot trail (however, they have not discussed this with Hennepin County) •The do think the stretch of right-of-way in front of Station 73 is tight •They stated the first stretch of trail that is constructed would be from Bryant Park to Ridgedale •They currently have no funding but expect this section of trail to be 3-4 years out •Section in Plymouth would be further down the road •They are planning one or two online meetings in December to talk to the property owners along Co. Rd .73 •They will be asking for an agreement with the city that would say that we will continue to work with them to locate the trail corridor •City Land •They have some interest in possibly moving the trail east and go through the wetland area •Need property to allow for a connection through the area and to LaCompte Park •They stated that a trail through this area would most likely be more expensive (soils, boardwalk, etc.) •Would need to study a connection from Co. Rd. 73 to the area (City has to points were property connects to Co. Rd. 73) 10 Hennepin County Comments •Introductory telephone and email exchanges have occurred •Currently Hennepin County has no plans to upgrade the Co. Rd. 73/Zachary Lane or Old Co. Rd. 15. and they have no funding for such improvements •The County’s ultimate desire would be a perfect solution with all intersections meeting spacing guidelines (which is all but impossible) •They are open to continued conversations about future improvements 11 Traffic Estimates 2015 2040 12 13 14 15 16 17 Co. Rd. 73 and Old Co. Rd. 15 •Goal/Vision for the area? •Straighten Co Rd 73 •Neighborhood Connection •Prepare for Redevelopment •Small Area Plan/Overlay District? •What to include in the Plan •Traffic Study? •Process •Neighborhood Participation •Business Participation •Moratorium? •Parcel Acquisition? •Other Suggestions? 18 Special City Council March 9, 2021 Agenda Number:2.2 To:Dave Callister, City Manager Prepared by:Sandy Engdahl, City Clerk Reviewed by:Laurie Hokkanen, Administrative Services Director Item:Set future Study Sessions 1.
