ClIn HOUSE RESEARCH Information Brief John Williams, Legislative Analyst 651-296-5045 Motorized Scooters and Other Low -Power Vehicles There has been an upsurge in the number and types of motorized scooters and other low-power vehicles available in Minnesota, from recreational vehicles intended primarily for children to more powerful vehicles aimed at young adults and even seniors. Minnesota law prohibits.many of these types of vehicles from being operated on streets and highways. This information brief describes the various types of vehicles and their status under Minnesota law and looks at how some other states have addressed them. There are many types of motorized scooters and low-power vehicles July 2004 A wide variety of motorized scooters (sometimes called go-peds) are now on the market, including gasoline -powered and electric -powered models. Electric scooters. These are usually lightweight (as light as 22 pounds) platforms with a battery-operated motor of 100 to 750 watts. They are usually designed to have the operator stand, but many come with seats and some come with removable seats. Their maximum speed is from 8 to 25 miles per hour and the range on a single charge is generally from 15 to 30 miles. Tires are from 6 inches to 12 inches in diameter. They usually have only a foot -operated rear brake, although some also have a hand -operated front brake. Steering is with front -mounted handlebars. Their prices can range from under $200 to over $1,200. Gasoline powered scooters. Gasoline -powered scooters are even more varied than electric scooters. Vehicles marketed as scooters may be as simple as gasoline -powered versions of This publication can be made available in alternative formats upon request. Please call 651-296-6753 (voice); or the Minnesota State Relay Service at 1-800-627-3529 (TTY) for assistance. Many House Research Department publications are also available on the Internet at: www.house.mn/hrd/hrd.htm. Research Department - Minnesota House of Representatives - 600 State Office Building a3 House Research Department Motorized Scooters and Other Low -Power Vehicles July 2004 Page 2 lightweight electric scooters, with four wheels, handlebars, and small (as low as 26 cc) rear - mounted two-cycle gasoline engines that are similar to lawnmower engines. At the other end of the spectrum, some can resemble small motorcycles (some are called "mini -choppers"). Their maximum speeds are generally higher than those of electric scooters, from 15 mph to as high as 40 mph or more. Front and rear brakes are more common than with electric scooters. Gas scooters are somewhat more expensive than electric scooters with prices ranging from a low of about $300 to over $2,500. There are several other kinds of low -powered and relatively lightweight vehicles, some of which have been around for years. Motor scooters. These are the familiar "step -through" scooters often called Vespas after their best-known manufacturer. They are legally classified and registered as motorcycles, but are generally lighter (200 lbs.), smaller (145 cc engine), and slower (58 mph top speed) than the average motorcycle. Mopeds. Motorized bicycles and bicycles with electric motors are both often referred to as "mopeds." "Electric -assisted bicycles" are bicycles with both operable pedals and an electric motor of up to 1,000 watts with a maximum speed of 20 mph. "Motorized bicycles" are referred to as bicycles in law but do not require operable pedals. They are propelled by a motor of up to 50 cc and 2 horsepower, with a maximum speed of 30 mph. Segways. Segways have been introduced into the retail market only within the past two years. They are referred to in law as "electric personal assistive mobility devices." They have two wheels that are parallel rather than in tandem, and handlebars that the standing operator uses for steering. Under Minnesota law they are limited to a maximum speed of 15 mph. Electric carts. These are golf carts and similar vehicles that have electric motors. Their use is expanding beyond just golf courses. They are increasingly being used for personal mobility, in which case they are sometimes referred to as "neighborhood electric vehicles. Minnesota law classifies these vehicles as "motor vehicles" and prohibits many of them from public streets and highways The most important thing about motorized scooters and other low-power vehicles is that they are considered "motor vehicles" under Minnesota law. Only human -powered vehicles such as bicycles and push scooters are outside this classification. Motorized scooters and other low-power vehicles are not subject to state regulation while they are being operated on private land, including private driveways. However, once they venture av1 House Research Department Motorized Scooters and Other Low -Power Vehicles onto streets, roads, and even alleys they are subject to state, and in some places local, regulations.. _ Motorcycles are subject to the following state requirements: • Liability insurance required up to $25,000 • Vehicle must be registered and licensed at an annual tax of $10 • Helmet required for operators and passengers up to age 18 • Driver's license with two -wheeled vehicle endorsement required • Vehicle must have front and rear lights and rear brake • Operation on streets is allowed but not sidewalks July 2004 Page 3 Under Minnesota law any electric or gasoline -powered scooter that has a seat and no more than three wheels is a motorcycle, excluding only motorized bicycles. However, owners of many of the smaller scooters could not register them as motorcycles even if they wanted to. Minnesota law requires every motor vehicle to have a certificate of title in order to be registered, and most small scooters lack the type of identification such as a vehicle identification number (VIlN).that is required before a title may be issued. In most cases a VIN could not be issued because the vehicle lacks safety equipment that federal regulations require. Motorized bicycles must be registered and licensed at an annual tax of $6. No title is required. They may be operated on streets and highways if registered, but the operator needs either a driver's license or a motorized bicycle operator permit. They may not be operated on a sidewalk except to cross it. The vehicle must have a headlight and, if operated at night, a taillight. If the vehicle is an electric -assisted bicycle an operator must wear a helmet when riding on a street or highway; if it is a motorized bicycle a helmet is required only up to age 18. Operators of motorized bicycles must wear eye protection but operators of electric -assisted bicycles need not do so. Headlights and taillights are required for nighttime operation. Segways do not require registration, a driver's license, or lights (braking system is built in). They maybe operated on sidewalks but not. on streets unless no passable sidewalk is available. A vehicle that does not fall into any of these categories, even a scooter that is not equipped.with a seat, is simply a motor vehicle like any other. As such it must be registered and licensed, the operator must have a driver's license, full insurance coverage is required, and the vehicle must be equipped with lights and brakes at both front and rear. As with motorcycles, many of the smaller scooters could not be registered as motor vehicles even if they meet state equipment requirements since they lack a VIN. Electric carts are treated like any other motor vehicle, requiring registration and a driver's license to be operated on Minnesota streets and highways. Federal motor vehicle safety standards require carts that have a maximum speed of 20 mph or more to have headlamps, stop lamps, tum signal lamps, tail lamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers. These requirements also apply to motor vehicles used on Minnesota highways, and most golf carts don't meet them. Under Minnesota law the only circumstances under which they may legally be operated on streets and �,S House Research Department Motorized Scooters and Other Low -Power Vehicles July 2004 Page 4 highways without being registered or complying with equipment requirements is when they are driven on designated streets and highways by a disabled person with a locally issued permit. Some cities have adopted ordinances to regulate scooters Some Minnesota cities have passed or are considering local ordinances to regulate scooters and low -powered vehicles. Most notable is Bloomington, whose ordinance applies to trail bikes, mini -bikes, go-carts, scooters, and power skateboards with motors of 25 cc or less and a maximum speed of over 20 mph. They are prohibited from sidewalks and publicly owned lands such as school grounds and parks, and allowed on public streets only if licensed. No one under age 14 may cross a street on one of these vehicles. They may be operated only from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Equipment requirements include brakes, mufflers, headlamp, and taillight. Wheelchairs, powered or not, are in a separate category Under Minnesota law persons in wheelchairs are considered pedestrians rather than vehicle operators and have the same rights and responsibilities as pedestrians. This is true whether the wheelchair is powered or not. Wheelchairs are required to remain on sidewalks and stay off streets except to cross them or where a passable or useable sidewalk is not available. States have only begun to address the legal status of these vehicles Most states are just beginning to address the question of how their statutes deal with motorized scooters and low -powered vehicles. An exception is California, which passed a major motorized scooter law in 2000. California motorized scooter law. The California law defines "motorized scooter" as any two -wheeled device that has handlebars, is designed to be stood or sat upon by the operator, and is powered by an electric motor or other power source that is capable of propelling the device. with or without human propulsion. The definition excludes motorcycles, segways, "motor - driven cycles" (motorcycles with engines under 150 cc), motorized bicycles, and "toys." California law defines a toy as "an article designed and made for the amusement of a child or for his or her use in play." Since some motorized scooters are marketed for children as young as eight years, this last exclusion could be problematic. The new California law generally gives operators of powered scooters the same rights and responsibilities as the driver of any other vehicle, with several notable exceptions: • The minimum age for operation is 16 but a driver's license is not required • The scooter need not be registered, licensed, or insured • Maximum speed is 15 mph • Front and rear lights and side reflectors are required • A brake on at least one wheel is required aQ House Research Department Motorized Scooters and Other Low -Power Vehicles July 2004 Page 5 • All operators are required to wear an approved helmet • Operators are prohibited from riding on sidewalks and on highways with a speed limit of '25 mph unless it is within a bicycle lane Electric vehicle laws. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that "Since [1998, when federal rules regulating equipment on these vehicles became effective], 37 states have passed legislation allowing these vehicles to be driven on roads with posted speed limits of 35 miles per hour or lower." Minnesota legislation. Minnesota's first venture into regulation of motorized scooters was in 2004, when the Senate passed legislation to regulate powered scooters. This provision defined a motorized scooter as a device with handlebars and wheels up to 10 inches in diameter, with or without a seat, powered by either an internal combustion engine or electric motor. Segways, motorcycles, motorized bicycles, and electric -assisted bicycles were excluded from this definition. Operators of these scooters were generally given the same rights and responsibilities as bicycle riders, except.for the following: • they were prohibited from sidewalks • the minimum age for operation was set at 12 years • operators under age 18 were required to wear helmets Like bicycles, motorized scooters were required to have headlights and taillights if being used at night. This legislation was not heard in the House and did not become law, but the issue is likely to be raised again in future legislative sessions.

Approval of Minutes It was moved by Karen Chesebrough, seconded by Andy Walstead and unanimously approved by the committee that the minutes for the June 9, 2004 meeting be approved as written. Ms. Osborne announced the presence of new members Wesh Waters and Sarah Hayes. General Forum Terrie Christian introduced herself stating that she is a resident of Plymouth who is involved in environmental issues concerning Medicine Lake. Ms. Christian has observed that NEMO ideas are not getting implemented in Plymouth policy and referenced two City projects in which the installation of curb and gutter would carry water directly into Medicine and Parker's Lake. Ms. Christian encouraged another presentation by NEMO to help get the implementation of their ideas going. Mr. Missaghi stated that more aggressive education with residents in regard to raingardens will be done in the future. Ms. Osborne suggested looking into the reasons for curb and gutter. Page 1 of 5 C. Documents and SettingslkhoJJmanlLocal SettingslTemporary Internet FilesIOLK6771081104.doc Mr. Missaghi will place this item for discussion on a future EQC meeting agenda. Turtle Lake Mr. Missaghi reported that the two issues concerning Turtle Lake are the water level and vegetation. Mr. Missaghi referred to the aerial photo analysis which indicates the water level in 1971, 1984, 1996 and 2002. He noted that there has not been much change in the water level on lower Turtle Lake but upper Turtle Lake has shrunk. He also noted that the encroachment of cattails and reed canary grass has not changed much but yellow water lilies are increasing. There are three rock dam structures in the ditch that control the water level. Mr. Missaghi reported that the analysis is not finished, but felt the challenge seems to be in controlling the vegetation. The residents around Turtle Lake feel that the lake is drying up and find it hard to believe the water level hasn't changed. Mr. Missaghi will complete the analysis of Turtle Lake and present his findings at the next EQC meeting. E-85 Fuel Krista Torgerson introduced herself stating that she has been an intern in the Engineering Department since May. She presented the information she compiled on E-85 fuel stating that she obtained most of her statistics from the American Lung Association. Ms. Torgerson reported that the environmental benefits of E-85 fuel include reduced emissions up 41%, reduced nitrogen oxides by 5-10% and a reduction in carbon monoxide by 27-40%. She said E-85 has a higher octane content which enhances engine performance and that there are a variety of makes and models of E-85 compatible vehicles available. A presentation, publicity materials and grant money are provided by the American Lung Association at no cost. Ms. Torgerson's recommendations for the City fleet includes: • Fueling current City FFV's using E-85 from the Holiday Station in Plymouth using a fuel card. • Continue to purchase FFV's in the future. • Research the possibility of converting the City's unleaded vehicles to E-85. • Installing an E-85 fuel system when half or more of the City fleet includes FFV's. Page 2 of 5 C. Documents and SettingslkhoJfmanUocal Settingsl Temporary Internet Files IOLK6771081104.doc �a Mr. Forrest suggested placing a decal on City vehicles signifying that they are fueled by E-85. Ms. Jaffoni thought the American Lung Association could provide information and decals. A motion was made by Terry Jaffoni, seconded by Andy Walstead to make a recommendation to the City Council to establish a City policy that all passenger vehicle purchases for the City fleet be FFV and hybrid vehicles, and that when 50% of the City fleet consists of FFV vehicles a study of the cost benefits of a central fuel system using available grant money be conducted and that employees be required to purchase E-85 fuel. The motion passed unanimously. Schmidt Lake Larry Adams, homeowner on Schmidt Lake, expressed appreciation for Watershed the partnership between the Schmidt Lake Association and the City. He Management Plan reported that the catchbasin inserts were installed in July and asked if street sweeping could be delayed as late as possible to catch the leaves. Mr. Adams reported that the Schmidt Lake Association has decided to engage Bioverse to treat the algae in the lake. Treatment of the algae involves introducing a bacteria into the lake which is safe for humans and animals and requires no permit. Mr. Adams said the lake association will meet with Shane and Derek in the fall to make plans for 2005 and he left invitations for the EQC to the Schmidt Lake Association picnic on Saturday. Ms. Osborne thanked Mr. Adams for his report. Mr. Missaghi briefly reviewed the memo compiled by Derek Asche, Water Resources Technician, stating that design plans and cost estimates are being prepared by URS Corporation for the construction of three private property rain gardens within the Schmidt Lake Watershed. Quotes will be received in August for construction in September. He said catchbasin inserts were installed in July and that they are checked after rain events and street sweeping. Five sump manholes were cleaned on June 22, 2004 and re -inspected on July 26, 2004 with only one sump manhole requiring additional cleaning. Mr. Adams asked if he could receive notice of future EQC meetings by email. Introduction of New Sarah Hayes introduced herself stating that she will soon be 17 and Members attends Providence Academy. She is from Freemont, California and is excited to serve on the EQC. Wesli Waters introduced herself stating that she will soon turn 16. She is a sophomore at Armstrong High School and plays soccer and basketball. Page 3 of 5 CADocuments and SettingslkhofJ'martV ocal Settingsl Temporary Internet FilesIOLK6771081104.doc Ms. Chesebrough explained to Ms. Hayes and Ms. Waters that the EQC acts as an advisory committee to the . City Council on environmental issues. She encouraged them to let the committee know what environmental projects they are working on and that they may suggest ideas to the EQC. Metropolitan Mr. Missaghi reported that a one year extension was requested from the Council, Small Metropolitan Council because it is too late in the year for construction of Grant the four raingardens. Ms. Osborne asked Mr. Missaghi to keep the EQC updated on the progress of this project. Green Tour Ms. Osborne reported that Ms. Chesebrough, Councilmember Black, Ms. Vigoren and herself participated in the Green Tour and that it was really neat. Councilmember Black suggested a tour next year. Ms. Osborne suggested changing the name from "Green Tour" and include visits to the same sites to see how they have transformed. Great River Project Ms. Jaffoni stated that there is not much more to say and referred the EQC to the website at www.oah.state.mn.us/aliBase/290115763.rt.htm for an update on the project. Plymouth Business Ms. Vigoren referred to the memo written by Kris Hageman, Solid Environmental Waste Coordinator, and noted that Honeywell Solid States Electronic Champion Center and Turck Multiprox Inc. have been nominated as 2004 Environmental Champions and asked for a motion of recommendation from the EQC. A motion was made by Sally Strand, seconded by Terry Jaffoni to recommend to the City Council that Honeywell Solid States Electronic Center and Turck Multiprox Inc. be awarded the 2004 Environmental Champion Award. Medicine Lake Ms. Chesebrough reviewed the draft Medicine Lake Implementation & Implementation & Management Plan with the EQC and thanked Mr. Missaghi for keeping Management Plan track of everything and Mr. Vlach and Mr. Barten for their guidance. A motion was made by Brian Forrest, seconded by Sally Strand recommending approval of the Medicine Lake Implementation & Management Plan to the City Council. Mr. Missaghi will include a discussion and update of the plan at the next EQC meeting.

Specific experience related to the Highway 55 Coalition management work is Brad was a charter member and lead staff to the successful Scott County Transportation Coalition (SCTC). The SCTC was a non-profit organization established in 1986 and dissolved in 1997 after completion of their goals to secure funding and complete three major transportation projects -bridge over Minnesota River in downtown Shakopee, the 9 mile Shakopee Bypass and the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. The Coalition was successful in securing over $180 Million in Federal and State funding for these projects. 3. Minutes — As a quorum was not present, the minutes of July 23, 2004 were not approved. It was recommended that the unapproved minutes be revised to indicate that representatives attending the Washington Fly -In were Karla Heeter and Wayne Fingalson from Wright County and Marvin Johnson from Independence. 4. Membership Committee Report — Karla Heeter reported on the Membership Committee's meeting this morning prior to the Coalition's meeting highlighting the Committee's plan for an aggressive new member solicitation effort this Fall, a need for additional members on the Committee from various geographic and background areas, and the sponsorship of a golf hole in the September 8, 2004 Wright County Economic Development Partnership's Golf Tournament. Also noted was a new membership brochure which is being developed with Hennepin County printing the brochure.

Financial Report — Wayne Fingalson handed out the Financial Report as of August 20, 2004. The Coalition has a fund balance of $8,131.15. There was discussion on whether future financial reports should have the details of all expenditures and revenues or just the roll ups of those categories. It was the consensus to continue providing the full financial details attached to the summary Financial Report. The Financial Report was reviewed only as a quorum was not present. 6. Technical Advisory Committee Report/MnDOT Update — Official Map - Wayne Fingalson reported that Wright County has finished its portion of the official mapping and is working with the County Attorney to draft an ordinance that will adopt the official map. Gary Erickson reported that Hennepin County is still working on the official mapping but will not need an ordinance as the portion of TH 55 in Hennepin all falls within cities. The cities will be doing their own ordinances. John Griffith reported that he needs to meet again with the Cities of Corcoran and Medina to revisit the official mapping. There are concerns from Corcoran that the alignment shift all to the north of existing TH 55 impacts businesses. To the south, however, are considerable wetlands. James Lane offered his help in the meeting with the two cities. Highway 55 Future Traffic Demand Study — John Griffith reported that there will be a kick-off meeting on August 25, 2004. SRF Consulting Group, Inc. was selected for the study. The schedule has been revised to reflect delays by the Met Council in completing their new traffic forecast modeling program, however, other project tasks are being completed to keep the study progressing. There will be interchange concepts developed for the TH55/1494 interchange. Contaminated Properties Study — MnDOT is working on it. Hennepin County has received a $500,000 grant for Phase 1 Assessment from the EPA with TH 55 the only specific project noted in the grant. Hennepin County will wait for MnDOT's study to determine locations, if any, for the Phase 1 Assessment. This grant can only be used on sites within Hennepin County. In the past, after a Phase 1 Assessment, Hennepin has applied for and received grants for clean-up of the site. Cultural Resource/Historical Sites Contract — MnDOT negotiating cost with selected firm. Work anticipated this fall with completion in the spring. Because work involves digging and survey work on property along TH 55, people might think construction next and generate phone calls to their County, City or Township officials. As no construction is anticipated for a long time, MnDOT's letter to the property owners needs to be very clear about that. MnDOT will bring the draft letter to the public to the Coalition for their review and comments. 7. Legislative — Brief review of status of federal transportation reauthorization act. There are questions as to whether a new bill will be agreed to prior to the elections or even by the end of this year. The 2005 Transportation Appropriations bill should be passed by the end of September. Gary noted that at this time, the House version does not have any earmarked projects in the bill, while the Senate version has some earmarkings. As to Minnesota, there are a number of committees working on transportation issues for the 2005 legislative session. Discussion followed on how difficult it has been in the past to get the various transportation factions, mainly highway and transit to agree on a funding bill. It was noted that the Monticello Chamber is having a dinner September 10, 2004 with Governor Pawlenty the speaker. On a related issue, discussion was had on the status of the Metropolitan Council's Transportation Plan update and whether the draft plan will have TH 55 west of I494 upgraded to a Principal Arterial. Talks with Met Council staff seem to indicate that they support the upgrade. Next month's Coalition's agenda will include the Plan status of TH 55. The draft for public review should be released very soon. Hennepin County volunteered to provide future federal and state legislative updates to the Coalition as they have staff and access to a number of legislative monitoring resources. Contact: Wayne A.

You are correct that the City was credited $27,000 in the agreement with Hennepin County for construction of County Road 61. The County's normal practice is to rehabilitate the roadway surface with a bituminous overlay prior to transfer to the City or provide a cash equivalent. In addition an allowance was provided for construction of a cul de sac to eliminate the direct connection along Hemlock Lane between County Road 10 and County Road 61. The City chose to take the credit since the condition of Hemlock Lane indicates it should be reconstructed and an overlay would have a very limited life. The City/County agreement for the County Road 61 improvement estimated that the City would pay Hennepin County $86,915.97 after this and other credits were applied. The cul de sac was constructed in 2001 with that year's street reconstruction project. The entire street was originally planned for reconstruction, but when the decision whether to proceed needed to be made there was great uncertainty in the State budget which greatly effects the City budget. The City decided to take the cautious route and only constructed the cul de sac at that time. Construction of the cul de sac cost approximately $49,000. The estimated cost to reconstruct Hemlock Lane excluding the cul de sac is $440,000. A portion of the cost for reconstruction would be paid for by adjacent residents through special assessments. Hemlock Lane is currently a local street so it is evaluated with the other local streets in the City. The City uses a pavement management program to determine what streets to reconstruct each year. It compares the pavement condition of all the street segments to determine the most cost effective strategy for street reconstruction. Projects are determined for the next 5 years from this information, input from the Street Maintenance Division, petitions received for street reconstruction, and a more detailed inspection of the candidate areas. It is more cost effective to reconstruct entire neighborhoods then PLYMOUTH A Beautt�ui fizi G L'LLTRS.ROrn_oo4\HemWckRKon.a« ive 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD •1 PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509.5000 `'t E)—.-- � www.d.plymouth.mn.us RECONSTRUCTION OF HEMLOCK LANE Page Two individual streets. This segment of Hemlock Lane is not in the most recent Pavement Management Update which was approved last Fall. The results of next update of the Pavement Management Program will be incorporated in the City's Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The City is currently updating the CIP for 2005 to 2009. A Special Council Meeting to discus the budget including the CIP will be held at 7:00 pm September 7, 2004. In addition the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed CIP later this Fall. In addition the City Council will be considering increasing funding for street reconstruction in conjunction with the budget process. A Special Council Meeting on this subject is scheduled for 5:00 pm September 28, 2004. The City also has a process for residents to petition for street reconstruction. Attached is the City's Street Reconstruction Petitions Policy. Hemlock Lane could be reconstructed as part of a project including adjacent neighborhoods if appropriate. As noted above the estimated cost to reconstruct Hemlock Lane excluding the cul de sac is $440,000. A portion of the cost for street reconstruction is assessed to benefiting properties. In this case special assessments would be about $181,000 for street reconstruction, curb and gutter, and storm sewer. The City's Street Reconstruction Assessment Policy is attached. In addition $40,000 is expected to be paid by Maple Grove for a segment in that city if they participate in the project. If you are interested in pursuing the petition process for street reconstruction please contact' Jim Renneberg at 763-509-5541. At this time this segment of Hemlock Lane is not in the City's CIP. The results of the Pavement Management Update are not yet available, but if additional funding is available I anticipate that it will be included in the 2005 to 2009 CIP. Until it is reconstructed the City's Street Maintenance Division will continue to maintain Hemlock Lane to keep the roadway safe. If you have any questions please contact me at 763-509-5525.

In order to meet the purpose of the City's Pavement Management Program, the petitions need to be evaluated in the context of the overall program. After receipt of a written request, the City Engineer will establish a project area that would constitute a reasonably sized and configured project for efficient construction. A map of the proposed project area, the City's Street Reconstruction Assessment Policy, and a petition form will then be mailed to the petitioner. The petition must acknowledge that a portion of the project cost will be assessed to benefiting properties and attach a copy of the Street Reconstruction Assessment Policy. A petition will be forwarded to the City Council when it has been signed by 55% or more of the owners of the property expected to be assessed for the project. After receiving the petition, the City Council will consider whether to include the petitioned area in the current Street Reconstruction Program or refer it to City staff for consideration when the next update of the Pavement Management Report is prepared. q0 STREET RECONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT POLICY REVISED 2004 Resolution 2003-386 September 9, 2003 (Supersedes Res. 2003-358, Aug. 12, 2003) Street Reconstruction. The City Council has adopted a long-range plan providing for the periodic reconstruction, including resurfacing, of all paved city streets. The City Council adopted policies which are designed to ensure the orderly and fiscally responsible implementation of this plan on a community -wide basis. The following is the General Street Reconstruction Policy for special assessments to benefiting property. a. It is the policy of the City to special assess abutting benefiting property for street reconstruction costs, but not in excess of the special benefit to the property. This policy applies to all streets that are the responsibility of the City. b. The assessment rate for the reconstruction of previously paved streets shall be determined annually by the City Council. The assessment rate is based on the following: (1) Benefited properties shall be assessed 30% of the engineer's estimated project cost as set forth in the project feasibility report or 30% of the actual project cost, whichever amount is less, but in no event less than 20% of the actual project cost. (2) Assessments shall not exceed any of the following: (a) the special benefit to the property being assessed; (b) the total assessments in a maintenance district may not exceed the project cost in the maintenance district; (c) the total assessment for a project may not exceed the project cost. Project cost includes both direct construction costs and all indirect costs such as engineering and administration. (3) Assessments shall normally be levied for a period not to exceed five (5) years. Longer assessment periods will be considered when other assessable public improvements are being constructed at the same time. W (4) Assessments for single-family parcels shall be made on a per parcel (unit) basis. (5) Multi -family housing parcels shall be converted into an equivalent number of parcel units by dividing the area of the multi -family parcel by 18,500 (the City's established minimum lot size). The number of equivalent units are then multiplied by the single-family assessment rate to determine the assessment for the property. (6) The area of commercial/industrial parcels shall be divided by 18,500 to establish the number of equivalent units for the property. Institutional properties such as schools, churches, and public property are assessed as commercial/industrial. C. For the purposes of street reconstruction, the project costs will include the cost of replacing or repairing concrete curb and gutter. In those cases where bituminous curbing is replaced with concrete curb and gutter, an additional special benefit will be assessed. The cost to be assessed shall be the cost of installing the concrete curb and gutter and assessed on either a front foot or per lot basis. The addition of a wider street or a storm sewer system may also be considered an additional benefit and may be assessed. (7) The Street Reconstruction assessments for the 2004 Street Reconstruction Program shall be calculated based on 20% of the total project cost of the 2004 Street Reconstruction Program. Senior Citizens and Disabled People Special Assessments Deferrals. If you are at least 62 years of age or are disabled, you may qualify to have special assessments deferred if they create a hardship for you. August 18, 2004 Mr. Ronald S. Quanbeck, P.E. City Engineer — Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447-1482 Re: Hemlock Lane — Bass Lake Road north to 62nd Place Mr. Quanbeck: On behalf of the 160 plus households in the Northeast area of Plymouth, we want to know when the City of Plymouth plans to repair Hemlock Lane. As you are aware, the City of Maple Grove and Hennepin County reconstructed County Road 61 — formerly Hemlock Lane. The construction created four driving lanes from Bass Lake Road to US Interstate 694. Northwest Boulevard was extended from Bass Lake Road to 62nd Place. Hemlock Lane continued as County Road 61 from 62nd Place north to Interstate 694. The construction commenced in 2001 and was completed in the fall of 2003. As a result of the construction, Hemlock Lane from Bass Lake Road to 62nd Place remained a two-lane road. The City of Plymouth constructed a cul-de-sac at 60th Avenue North to restrict traffic on Hemlock Lane. As part of the County Project No. 8544, the Agreement No. PW 49-34-00 was executed between the County of Hennepin, City of Maple Grove, and the City of Plymouth. The agreement provided a construction credit of $25,000 to the City of Plymouth and $2,155 to the City of Maple Grove to overlay and perform drainage corrections on that portion of Hemlock Lane that was turned over to the cities in connection with the improvement of County Road 61. In addition, an additional construction credit of $2,000 was provided to the City of Plymouth for all costs associated with the construction of the cul-de-sac at Hemlock Lane and 60th Avenue North. To date — August 18, 2004 — only the cul-de-sac is completed. Upon questioning various members of the City — Mayor, City Engineer, and Public Works manager, there is NO PLAN to complete any improvements to Hemlock Lane in the foreseeable future! This is unacceptable to the residents who use Hemlock Lane to travel to and from their homes. Please provide answers to the questions on the following pac y9 Mr. Ronald S. Quanbeck, P.E. City Engineer — Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447-1482 August 18, 2004 Page two What is the date that the City of Plymouth plans to complete improvements to Hemlock Lane from 60th Avenue North to 62nd Place? What actions were taken with the $25,000 construction credit? Are these funds held in escrow awaiting the improvements to Hemlock Lane? Is this on the agenda of a council meeting? If yes, what is the date and time of the meeting? If no, when will you put it on the agenda? We want answers and actions taken to complete the improvements to Hemlock Lane that the City of Plymouth received compensation from Hennepin County to complete.
