ITEM 9
Mr. Nelson presented the feasibility .report prepared by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch,
Inc. (SRF) for the construction of Ipava Avenue from Trunk Highway 50 to the
northerly property line of the proposed Lakeville High School. Tim Phenow of
SRF was also present. Mr. Nelson explained that an agreement was reached
with Independent School District 194 to waive the public hearing, since no
other properties are proposed to be assessed for this project.
Mr. Nelson highlighted the feasibility report for Improvement Project 91-2 as
follows:
The development of Ipava Avenue into anorth-south low density minor arterial
to serve the .north and east central sections of Lakeville is proposed to be
staged over a period of time. The portion of roadway in this project is
proposed to be constructed to one-half of the ultimate width. Initially, it
will serve as access to the school site. As the surrounding area develops,
this section of street would be widened to provide additional traffic lanes
and would be extended north to align with the existing Ipava Avenue at 185th
Street. Based on projected warrants at Trunk Highway and Ipava Avenue (and
the existing Indra Way) it is anticipated that a traffic signal will be
justified at that intersection when the high school .opens in 1993. Staff is
recommending the renaming of Indra Way to Ipava Avenue to minimize confusion.
It is proposed to construct the east half of Ipava Avenue at this time, with
one through lane in each direction, and the easterly curb of the ultimate
center median. The future extension and widening of Ipava Avenue to a
four-lane divided parkway facility is proposed to occur as development occurs
to the west. Also part of the interim project is construction of an eight
foot bituminous walk on the east side of the street. When the roadway is
widened, an eight foot bituminous walk is proposed on the west side as well.
Mr. Nelson explained that financing for this improvement project is proposed
to consist of a combination of funding sources, including assessments to ISD
194, Ci utility trunk funds, storm sewer trunk funds and Municipal State
Aid (M~A) funds. The total project cost is $887,290. ISD 194 will be
assessed $104,085 -for street improvements, based on a rate of $40.50 per
front foot, and $102,800 for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements, based
on a rate of $40.00 per front foot. The Trunk Utility Fund includes $85,730
for sanitary sewer and watermain trunk costs; and $44,500 will be paid out of
the Storrn Sewer Trunk Fund. The balance, $550,175, will be financed from MSA
funds.

Councilmember Sindt asked about assessments to the west side of the street
when the second phase is constructed. Mr. Nelson explained the state .aid
street assessment policy and stated it will be assessed equivalent to
one-half of a 32 foot wide residential street.
In regard to the proposed Indra Way street name change, Mr. Erickson
explained that there would be no conflict with the change, since there is no
other Indra Way in the City. Staff has contacted the one property. owner who
lives on Indra Way, Mr. Robert Milan, and he is receptive to the City's ,
request, but would prefer the name change to take effect on January 1st of
1993.
Mayor Zaun pointed out that the Public Improvement Contract with ISD 194
refers to the new street extension as "Indra Way". The City Attorney
suggested staff write a letter to ISD 194 .notifying them of the name change,
and that letter shall become an attachment to the contract.
