7. City Manager Eric Hoversten requesting discussion and action on the following items:
a. Admin Policy — Prohibited use of UTV/ATVs on City streets & ROW
b. An ordinance amending Chapter 70 of the Mound City Code as it relates to traffic
and vehicles
Hoversten stated this agenda item relates to Minnesota statute requirements and processes to
allow the use of UTV's on municipal roadways. Hoversten said there is an option for a
community to affirmatively allow UTV's on municipal roadways under a community derived
licensing program for these vehicles. Hoversten added the operation of ATV's is not formally
allowed and has not been allowed by the City in the past as provided in state statute.
Hoversten said the Orono Police Department (OPD) has recently been conducting educational
enforcement of these prohibitions. Hoversten said requests for the City to formally allow UTV's
to operate on municipal roadways have been received and prompted this discussion.
Hoversten stated establishing a City permitting process was discussed at the City Council
Workshop on April 20'h. Hoversten added the policy recommendation from the Council was to
not affirmatively allow the use of UTV's on municipal roadways.
Hoversten stated the ordinance change affects the opertation of class II UTV's as proposed and
removes language determined to be confusing in Chapter 70 of the City Code regarding the use
of these machines when not on the roadways. Hoversten said the intent of the language in
Chapter 70 was to allow the abutting property owners to the public land they are adjacent to and
was not intended to enact code to allow UTV's to be used on City streets. Hoversten said the
proposed amendments do not affect the operation of snowmobiles which will not change with
proposed language and have been provided for separately.
Salazar asked OPD Deputy Chief Chris Fischer to elaborate on the ordinance amendment.
Fischer said the use of ATV's is not allowed in any of the four cities the OPD serves. Fischer
said he has heard that the City of Prior Lake has recently allowed this use via ordinance.
Fischer said one item which needs to be part of this discussion is which vehicles can be used
on county roads, noting the process for approval would need to be granted through Hennepin
County through a companion ordinance. Salazar asked Fischer if the City is seeing an increase
in use of UTV's. Fischer stated his information would be an anecdotal comparison to 30 years
ago, but that he has noticed an increase in UTV's in the City, again emphasizing he has no hard
data to confirm. Fischer said the OPD has responded to businesses operating UTV's which
were creating a problem. Hoversten said Minnetrista doesn't allow the permitting or licensing of
UTV's. Salazar asked if Orono PD is stopping UTV use in Orono and Fischer responded that
until recently the OPD and residents didn't know what was legal or not and in some instances
OPD officers didn't give out good information to residents. Fischer stated all entities need to be
on the same page regarding UTV's on municipal roadways. Salazar asked if Fischer thought
1171
they were a hindrance to traffic in Orono. Fischer said there have been a few problems with
children on UTV's and those concerns were addressed.
Pugh asked Fischer if he thought about the potential impact on pedestrians or bicycles if they
were allowed and Fischer said he couldn't say, but noted Class II UTV's must be driven on the
far right side of the road and would be sharing the space with pedestrians and bicycles.
Larson asked if Fischer knew how many tickets the OPD has given or how many stops for
UTV's have been made. Fischer said he didn't have those numbers but thought it was low.
Larson asked if there was a clear definition of the difference between an ATV and UTV, noting
the Council is not taking about snowmobiles in the ordinance amendment. Larson said some of
these vehicles have passenger seats with seat belts, roll bars and a license plate and are these
the vehicles the Council is discussing as a UTV. Salazar asked if these vehicles have license
plates. Fischer said a vehicle which Larson described would be a UTV and a Class II vehicle
which have side by side seating, in addition to specific engine size, vehicle weight and safety
features. Fischer said an ATV is a vehicle in which the driver straddles the vehicle without a
license plate for street use. Hoversten said the UTV is a side by side vehicle with different tire
pressure that causes it to react differently than regular vehicles to the road. Hoversten said an
ATV can be allowed on streets if the vehicle has factory made safety features which meet state
compliance for those safety features. Hoversten said UTV's are generally made in the factory
with road worthy characteristics but if there is a City permitting or licensing program each
machine would need to be looked at individually to determine whether they meet safety criteria.
Velsor asked if a vehicle has a state issued license plate, would the City would have jurisdiction
over that state licensed vehicle. Fischer replied that a municipality couldn't give a registration to
a licensed vehicle as a City would have no administrative authority. Salazar said there is a
Polaris vehicle called a Slingshot which has license plate, is a three wheeler and can go on and
off road. Fischer said the Slingshot user can operate the vehicle with a standard Class D
endorsement from the State.
Holt asked about the addition of section 70-15 of the code which prohibits the use of golf carts
and why the City wants to prohibit someone from using a golf cart to go across the street to fill
up their boat. Holt asked Fischer if the OPD has pulled over someone on a golf cart which
Fischer said the OPD has not. Fischer added that some cities have looked at allowing golf carts
but the OPD follows Council direction. Fischer added that Minnetonka Beach was very clear
that they did not want golf carts allowed and driven on City streets. Salazar said the issue isn't
a golf cart driven across the street or going down the block but rather when they are driven
across town and when anyone is overdoing the use of golf carts, UTV's and ATV's. Salazar
said the point of the ordinance amendment is to come up with clarity so that the person who
drives across town and down many City streets can be addressed. Salazar said the issue is not
occasional use for a short distance.
Holt said people who were using these vehicles didn't know this was an illegal activity and the
City can deal with the people who are driving all over town. Salazar said if the City does allow
use, the City would need to define what the boundaries of use would be. Velsor said he
purchased an ATV and uses it at his cabin and knows when he brings it home it is not legal and
if he drives it to his fish house, he is taking a risk of getting a ticket. Velsor said the amendment
to the ordinance will let everyone in town know that they are doing something illegal when they
drive these vehicles on the streets of Mound. Velsor said he is getting emails from people
saying the Council is taking something away from them but noted as of today, it is not legal and
1172
residents will now know it is illegal to use these vehicles on the street. Salazar said this is an
attempt to try to stop the gross abuse and the extensive driving around town and not preventing
access to your local street.
Velsor said if the City is permits these vehicles in Mound, how will it reign them in so they are
not everywhere. Velsor added that when he goes up north, you expect to see ATV's on the
street. Velsor said he doesn't expect that level of use in Mound and doesn't know if Mound
would have that amount of use if ATV's are allowed. Velsor added that he has thought about
taking his ATV to the store but if he did he would have to take City streets to get there and
would have no business using an ATV to go across town. Velsor wondered what it would be
like if all this use was opened up and everyone could do whatever they want with an ATV or
UTV or whatever vehicle without a state issued DOT license on it, adding he doesn't feel they
should be able to go wherever they want to go. Fischer said he would like to address one thing
regarding the Prior Lake ATV UTV ordinance which he felt would be a challenge for the OPD to
enforce, which is the Prior Lake sunrise to sunset time limits. Fischer felt this is unenforceable
particularly during winter when people are ice fishing and days are shorter. Fischer requested
that any action taken doesn't make enforcement more difficult. Salazar asked how do you
enforce the ordinance and draw the line where these vehicles are allowed. Fischer said he
wanted to let the audience know that the City could only allow CLASS 11 vehicles and if Class I
ATV's were allowed there would need to be a corresponding legal allowance by the County due
to use of County roads throughout town. Fischer added that a Class 11 vehicle is defined by
statute and not by whether it has a license plate and a Class I ATV, 4-wheeler, could not
currently go down a County road regardless of the decision of the Council tonight.
Michael Kline, 1630 Dove Lane, stated he feels like it should be okay to go down the road and if
your neighbor doesn't like it they are free to call the OPD and you could get a ticket. Salazar
asked Fischer if the OPD needed to see someone using the vehicle in an illegal manner and
Fischer responded affirmatively. Kline said the City of Waconia is researching allowing golf carts
and asked the Council to look into this. Kline said he is a golf cart and snowmobile guy and he
said there were many comments from the petition he started. Kline said there are nuances with
this proposed ordinance amendment such as the need to avoid channels and thin ice signs by
maneuvering around the lake in some locations for safety reasons.
Kline said he agreed that the Council should form a commission to look into safe ways to
access the lake and to publish safe route maps so people don't get a ticket by driving on the
road.
Kevin Gillis, 4743 Island View Drive, handed out information to the Council regarding the Prior
Lake and Waconia rules regarding their new vehicle ordinance. Gillis said both Waconia and
Prior Lake have larger populations than Mound. Gillis said there are safe passage routes
around less safe areas of the lake and if you can't ride anywhere but on the lake there could be
safety ramifications. Gillis said the two cities call for licensed drivers to be at least 16 years old,
carry vehicle insurance and use licensed vehicles. Gillis said he didn't like the language of
UTV's and ATV's mixing with pedestrians as most of City streets in Mound are 30 or 35 mph
roads. Gillis added that these vehicles are quieter than motorcycles which are allowed on the
road. Gillis said the Council is looking for a solution to a problem which doesn't exist and if the
City requires them to be insured and licensed, there won't be a problem like there is in northern
Wisconsin.
1173
Larson said Itasca County MN does not allow ATV's on any county road and it is prohibited to
ride them in the Right of Way. Larson said it is isolated up there, noting trails are designated
either to allow or not allow ATV use.
Heidi Peterson, 1613 Finch Lane, said she is a resident of 20 years and owns a business in
Mound. Peterson said when she first got a spot in the dock program it was many blocks from
her home and she started to use a golf cart to get to the site because of mobility issues.
Peterson added she has a surgically reconstructed knee and uses the golf cart to get up and
down the large hill to her current dock. Peterson said while the City would prefer that dock
license holders walk to their docks, it is impossible for her to do so. Peterson added that Mound
is a recreational town and she enjoys seeing residents use their alternative vehicles and has
never once had a negative encounter in almost 30 years she has enjoyed the lake. Peterson
noted that many residents use their ATV or UTV or the elderly -use scooters to get around town
and to use the lake during all seasons of the year. Peterson said she has never had a negative
encounter with an ATV or UTV in Mound. Peterson added there have been many residents who
contacted her who said it was essential to have the use of an UTV/ATV for recreational use.
Peterson said if there is a ban on these vehicles, residents would need to use licensed vehicles
to get to their docks and wondered if parking would be provided for these vehicles. Peterson
said over time access to the lake has become more exclusive rather than inclusive. Peterson
added the commons were dedicated from 1906 to 1921 for all Mound users to enjoy the lake.
Peterson urged the Council to allow reasonable access to the lake by allowing these alternative
vehicles which is what the forefathers of Mound wanted. Peterson added there are 1000
signatures from Mound residents who have signed the petition against this proposal.
Trevor Nelson, 2620 Tyrone Lane, said he is mainly concerned about allowing UTV's which he
said haven't been a problem and noting he did consider ATV's somewhat unsafe if used on the
street. Nelson added he is in favor of UTV use on public land as there are many safety features
on UTV's and are similar to a car.
Salazar asked Nelson how his UTV is licensed. Nelson responded that there is a three-year
DNR license for UTV's in which you must have insurance.
Alan Leach, 2654 Shannon Lane, said he has lived across from the path to his commons dock
for many years and he doesn't know where everyone is seeing the ATV use but noted he never
had a problem with any person using motorized vehicles on the commons or parking on the
street.
Richard Pundsack, 5865 Sunnybook Lane, Minnetrista, asked Larson if UTV's are allowed up
north and Larson responded affirmatively. Pundsack said he has a lake place in Detroit Lakes,
MN in which UTV's are allowed. Pundsack said he lives in Mound because of the lifestyle it
provides and the opportunities it allows. Pundsack said he likes to use the lake in all seasons
and using an UTV in the winter on the lake is safer than a street vehicle. Pundsack said UTV's
are regulated and very safe, noting he likes to take his UTV to Jubilee and has a right to enjoy
these things.
Britt Berner, 5050 Glendale Road, stated she is a transportation engineer and moved to Mound
in order for her husband, who has little life expectancy, to access the lake as he did in his youth.
Berner said her husband does own a UTV which is insured and licensed and has safety
equipment, noting there are UTV safety courses available. Berner asked the Council to use the
code to enforce those who aren't abiding by the rules and to ticket them. Berner cited a study
1174
which said UTV's have a low fatality rate and, according to the study, motorcycles are much
less safe. Berner said her husband takes the UTV to the hardware store and helps their
neighbors with it. Berner asked the Council not to disallow UTV's on the street and for the
Council to be proactive rather than reactive.
Ryan Coatney, 5037 Woodland Road, said he rented a house on Three Points and fell in love
with the community. Coatney said people don't need a million -dollar home to have the freedom
to access the lake and the ATV's and UTV's give people access to the lake. Coatney said he
feels it is harder for inland residents to get that access to the lake. Coatney said he doesn't
have an ATV or UTV but one day would like to get one, in addition to a dock on the lake.
Kathy Thyr, 1705 Baywood Shores Drive, said she has a Class 14-wheeler which is DNR
licensed and insured. Thyr said there is no reason not to allow her to take the ATV to the lake
all the year. Thyr said she has friends who drive their ATV's in rural cities and in other rural
areas and are allowed to drive in ditches. Thyr said she sees ATV's going down the road at a
slow rate of speed and the children passengers are wearing helmets. Thyr said she wants a
map for zones of ATV use before sunset as a solution.
Mark Meyer, 4540 Island View Drive, said the code had language in the past which allowed all
motor vehicles to access the lake from public access. Meyer said the intent of the commons
was to provide lake access to all residents of Mound.
Jameson Smeija, 1700 Baywood Shores Drive, also addressed the Council and asked for a
reading of section 70-14 of the City Code.
Hoversten read: 70-14 Driving in parks, commons, and unopened streets and alley rights of
way. Unless otherwise posted, no person shall drive or operate motorized vehicles in public
parks, commons unopened streets and alley rights of way except on improved roads, trails,
designated lake accesses or parking areas as they may exist.
Meyer said the intent of forefathers was to get access to the lake and he knew when he moved
to Mound he was going to be able to get on the lake without having a high income. Meyer said
the Council is looking to prohibit the use of public land because it doesn't like certain types of
transportation.
Hoversten said the challenge of the code is that it allows for access to unimproved places but
street or roadway transit is not permitted by state statute. Hoversten added that statute doesn't
allow street traffic of unlicensed vehicles even though they are currently allowed to drive on the
commons or on unopened streets and right of way locations. Hoversten said this confusion has
caused the Council to ask staff to figure out how to clarify as the Council was not in favor of
opening up the streets of Mound to UTV's.
Meyer asked what the City is going to do about the trucks and trailers parked on the side of the
street. Meyer said he and others would have to park a trailer in order to get their UTV to a lake
access. Meyer said he lives about 35 yards from the lake and will have to cause more parking
congestion due to trailering his vehicle to the lake.
Meyer said the Council needs to decide what kind of town Mound will be. Meyer thinks a
decision to continue the prohibition of unlicensed vehicles will create a socially stratified
community. Meyer urged the Council to come up with a solution where citizens aren't breaking
the law by using prohibited vehicles on the street.
1175
Peterson addressed the Council to ask about abutters being able to access the commons all
year round with their UTV/ATV's while disregarding the non -abutters who won't be able to
access the Commons. Hoversten said the practice in the City has been for the abutters to use
the commons as they are maintaining the public land and the abutters get a different amount of
usability of their dock areas as non -abutters are not taking care of the commons to the extent of
abutters. Peterson mentioned that non -abutters do take care of their Commons Dock Use Areas
and Dock Program staff got on a group of non -abutters for not taking care of extensive weed
growth at their dock areas in the past. Peterson stated that the commons weren't created to
give abutters a bigger yard but to give access to the commons to all residents.
Salazar said the reason why the commons were established was to promote the development of
Mound. Salazar said the commons were created by the benevolence of the property owners.
Salazar said the early days of Mound was serviced by boats and the passengers would
disembark the boats to walk along the commons shoreline to their residences.
Merlin Woytcke, 1701 Bluebird Lane, said he has lived in Mound 52 years. Woytcke said he
paid for a law suit to protect his right to keep access to the shoreline. Woytcke said he has a
golf cart with no break lights but with many safety features including a slow moving vehicle sign.
Woytcke said he is in his middle 70's and needs to go on the city street a few blocks to get to
the lake and while he won't drive his golf cart to Jubilee he will drive it to get gas. Woytcke
said he pulls his motor and gas down to the lake. Woytcke added he transports his abutter
neighbors' elderly relatives to the shoreline with his golf cart and stated non -licensed vehicles
shouldn't be out after dusk.
Chris Stewart, 4725 Island View Drive, summarized what he heard from residents. Stewart said
the Mound petition had 1,000 signatures out of 9,000 people and we heard from the OPD there
isn't a problem with these vehicles. Stewart said this doesn't make sense as the police don't
seem to think this is an issue.
Cathy Leach, 2654 Shannon Lane, said she has lived in Mound for 37 years. Leach told the
Council that this is their community and not one person has spoken against UTV/ATV/golf cart
use so they should listen to their community.
Kellie Gillispie Coen, 5361 Baywood Shores, asked if the intent is to take recreational
enjoyment away from anybody. Gillispie said her home in AZ has a population of 23,000 and is
the same distance to the airport as Mound is to downtown Minneapolis. Gillispie said UTV's are
legal to be on the street and are far safer than a motorcycle. Gillispie said she sees people use
these vehicles for errands and doesn't see an issue with UTV use as they don't take over the
roads. Gillispie said the Council needs to put out something that is enforceable and step back
and put a commission together which can solve the issue.
Brian Nelson, 2620 Tyrone Lane, said he has ridden his UTV Class II around town since 2017
to go to Jubilee, get gas and other things and has been getting the police called on him many,
many times. Nelson said he got an OPD report saying Class II vehicles were legal last year.
Nelson said he has a DNR license and has never had a ticket issued. Nelson wants the Council
to open up Class II vehicles to streets like Waconia and Prior Lake.
Johnele Chapman, 1637 Eagle Lane, said while she doesn't have an ATV/UTV and doesn't plan
on getting one, reducing ATV/UTV's would be limiting non -abutters. Chapman said she lives
1176
across from a City park on Dove Lane which is used by non -abutters to get onto the lake in
winter and noted even abutters need this park to access the lake.
Jane Anderson, 5060 Edgewater Drive, said she thinks a lot of people have ATV and UTV's and
are using them around town, noting if there is a change to the code, there will be golf cart used
as well. Anderson said people are going to continue to use their ATV's but the City will have a
problem if golf carts and Class II vehicles are allowed when they are not street legal and urged
the Council not to allow ATV and UTVs in Mound.
David Handt, 4622 Kildare Road, said he lives on the lake and rides his ATV on the road all the
time, including to his ice house, and would like the Council to change the code so he doesn't
have to break the law.
Salazar said he would like to propose bringing this discussion back to the Council and for the
Council to form a commission of two council members and staff to research this issue further
and possibly come up with a solution. Salazar said that he understands the passion and we
have listended to you.
Larson said she agreed with forming a commission and Pugh agreed that the Council should
take more extensive look at this and make sure we are representing pedestrians and others in
the community who are using our road system.
Velsor said he is good with the commission idea.
Holt said he moved to town four years ago and he doesn't own a UTV or ATV but does own a
snowmobile and is worried about a slippery slope, noting the people came out to make their
voices heard.
Salazar asked for two volunteers for the committee and Velsor and Holt agreed to work with
staff to study the issue.
MOTION by Salazar, seconded by Larson, to establish a special committee with Velsor and
Holt, City staff and the OPD to further investigate the use of streets and public land and to come
up with recommendations for the Council to consider. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
8. Mark Weqscheid, 2465 Lost Lake Road, requesting the City Council to consider amending
Resolution No. 88-15 with regard to dock sites on Lost Lake Channel
Pausche addressed the Council with the request from Mark Wegscheid to reconsider City Council
Resolution 88-15 to allow another abutting dock to be assigned to his property. Pausche said she
researched the request and found at the time the dock sites were created, the City Attorney gave his
opinion that the City should not over restrict access to the public waters when they don't have to.
Pausche said the discussion on the establishment of the docks sites in 1988 was purposeful and
deliberate and that it appears the abutting status of two lots was attributed to the drainage, utility, and
walkway easements recorded on the properties. Pausche provided documentation in the packet to
assist the Council in making an informed decision. Pausche said the Docks and Commons Commission
(DCC) voted 4-1 to recommend approval of the request. Pausche said the one no vote felt that the
abutting docks were due to the easements but noted only one has the walkway easement which leads
him to question whether both should have been assigned abutting status in the first place, while the
other DCC members focused on the proximity to the traversable, improved portion of Lost Lake Park.
1177
Mark Wegscheid, 2465 Lost Lake Road, addressed the Council by saying he reviewed the original
decision on allocating abutting docks at Lost Lake Commons and felt his property abutted the park in
the same way the other two abutting properties did and that is why he made the request to the Docks
and Commons Commission and the Council.
MOTION by Salazar, seconded by Larson, to authorize staff to prepare a resolution establishing
2465 Lost Lake Road as an abutting address. All voted in favor. Motion carried.

An Ordinance amending Chapter 78 of the Mound City Code as it relates to Waterways
A Resolution authorizing publication of an ordinance by title and summary,
as it relates to Waterways
Pausche said the proposed ordinance amendment addresses the share program and dedicated
commons. Pausche said current code language allows some people on the wait list and dedicated
commons to get into the dock program earlier than the majority of wait list applicants and the proposed
changes are intended to make the waits more equitable. Pausche stated the wait list grown to over 225
applicants and there is also a concern about managing boat numbers in the dock program. Pausche
said that the current share program allows someone who has been on the wait list one year to get into
the dock program and can take over a dock site after two years if the primary license holder leaves
while it takes seven or more years for someone who is on the wait list to get into the dock program the
regular way. Pausche said people in dedicated neighborhoods also typically get a site in less time,
particularly in Woodland Point. Pausche noted Woodland point has straight docks with 2 boat slips on
each side, making some sites less appealing. Pausche said some Woodland Point residents take a
dedicated slip site and then request to move into the general dock program the following year, which
takes a spot that would otherwise be available to the regular wait list. Pausche said the ordinance
amendment would allow Woodland Point residents into the dedicated sites as soon as possible, but
require them to wait an equivalent amount of time as a typical wait list applicant to get into the general
dock program.
Pausche added that the secondary share status will end and existing secondary shares will be
grandfathered. Pausche said new potential shares will need to reach the top 40 in the wait list and will
be treated as a primary dock holder in order to increase the stakes and prevent any undermining of the
program rules. Pausche said these amendments are proposed to allow entry into the dock program to
be more equitable and more standardized and to limit possible abuses by and of people in the dock
program.
Holt asked how many shared docks are in the program which Pausche said there are 17 shared sites.
Salazar repeated a situation where an elderly couple responded to an ad and were led to believe they
could be a share on an abutting dock. Salazar said the elderly couple lost $3,000.00 when this
arrangement was discovered by Dock Administration through the inspection process.
MOTION by Larson, seconded by Velsor, to approve the following ordinance. All voted in favor.
Motion carried.

RESOLUTION NO. 21-45: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PUBLICATION OF AN
ORDINANCE BY TITLE AND SUMMARY, AS IT RELATES TO WATERWAYS
10. City Engineer Brian Simmons presenting the Shoreline Drive Dakota Trail pedestrian
crossing safety improvement study and requesting approval of the study, determination
of preferred improvement option and release of final report to Three Rivers Park District
and Hennepin County
Simmons presented the results of safety and traffic study of the pedestrian corridor in the
Shoreline Drive, Belmont Lane and Auditors Road area which the Council previously authorized.
Simmons said the study focused on the two pedestrian crossings on Shoreline Drive, noting the
crossings are marked differently and use different rules and have been a safety concern of both
residents and partner agencies.
Simmons said there were different scenarios used for the engineering study and three
alternatives have been proposed as a result.
Velsor asked if the City is making the decision or recommending the study to the other
agencies. Simmons said the Council is taking the lead in how to move these safety
improvements forward while working on how the improvement would be paid for by the City and
other agencies.
Simmons said two areas which were explored and rejected were a pedestrian crossing above
the roadway which would have taken up too much of the green space in the Harbor District and
a below grad tunnel which the water table made unfeasible.
Simmons then offered Alternative 1 — This scenario consolidates the pedestrian crossings at
Auditors Road and removes turn lanes so there are no left turns out of Auditors to Shoreline
Drive, there is a larger central median for safer crossing, and the roadway will be reconstructed
with two overhead Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon's (RRFB) to alert drivers of pedestrians
crossing.
Velsor asked if there is advanced warning and Simmons said there will be two advanced
signage warnings. Simmons said the roadway would be narrowed to one lane from two as traffic
count was looked at while trying to balance cost and the narrowing of the roadway. Simmons
said this alternative is a compromise between driver compliance and pedestrian safety.
Velsor asked about Auditors Road which Simmons said is functionally redundant and Hoversten
said lessening the need for Auditors Road would leave more room for the green space/park in
the Harbor District. Salazar agreed with the concept of less road would lead to more park with
the removal of Auditors Road as a through road.
Hoversten said ideas for the green space will come out of the Thursday's Parks Commission
meeting which will take in the feedback received from the community survey on the area.
1179
Holt asked if the RRFB goes over the road and Simmons said yes with one overhead and one
at street level.
Simmons presented Alternative 2 which consolidates the crossings of Shoreline at Belmont
Lane and has an Option A for a traffic signal and an Option B for an Overhead Rectangular
Rapid Flashing Beacon. Simmons said this alternative will also narrow the roadway and realign
the Dakota Trail.
Simmons said based on the traffic count a signal is unwarranted and Hennepin County (HC)
would not allow the stacking of cars in the Belmont and Commerce intersection areas. Simmons
said this scenario would reduce lanes to allow for better traffic flow.
A discussion ensued about Auditors Road and the remaining parking area along Auditors Road
which may no longer be a through street when redevelopment occurs.
Pugh said the discussion about Auditors Road being closed off from through traffic was
discussed by the Planning Commission. Salazar said citizens want a city -center park and green
space.
Simmons said this scenario would include a driveway into the parking deck. Simmons said
there is pedestrian channeling engineered into each of the scenarios presented. Simmons said
in Alternative 2, the channeling would compel pedestrians to use Belmont and not the former
trail crossing.
Simmons and Hoversten said with options 2A and 2B there will be a reduction in car lanes down
to one lane with stacking and turn lanes and some form of pedestrian crossing which in
2A is a traffic signal at Belmont and in 2b is the overhead RFFB at Belmont.
Hoversten said the reconstruction at Belmont in the Alternative 2 option would make Shoreline
Drive a one -lane through Mound and increase construction costs to remake the interchange.
Simmons offered Alternative 3 which would consolidate crossing at Commerce Blvd.
Simmons said Alternative 3 would have the Dakota Trail run west along the north side of
Shoreline Drive from Commerce Blvd. to Westedge Blvd. Hoversten said there is a known
preference of the users of the Dakota Trail to be separated from the road making this the less
desirable option and lessen the likelihood of compliance.
Simmons presented a table scoring the three alternatives based on project goals of cost, safety,
compliance and community. Simmons said Alternative 1 was the only option to meet all
measures including financially responsible, user safety, efficient and reliable mobility and
infrastructure compatibility with other resources. Simmons noted Alternatives 2 and 3 minimally
met safety measures and Alternative 3 was rated minimal for infrastructure compatibility as it
would not go through downtown Mound and the trail services in the Harbor District area.
Hoversten said all of the options have concerns and issues and the consolidation of the
crossing at Auditors Road was the best of not perfect options which prioritizes bikers over the
road traffic.
Simmons said the engineering study can be taken to other agencies with the option which has
been identified to be the smartest, safest thing to do and added Hennepin County will fund
1180
projects which make safety improvements and Three Rivers has indicated this is the crossing
they are most concerned about.
Hoversten said the Council action is to instruct staff on their preferred option and grant final
approval of the study. Hoversten said Mound staff could then share this information with Three
Rivers Park District staff who can share this information with the Three Rivers Board of
Directors at their May meeting
Hoversten said Mayor Salazar and staff have met with Mound's Three Rivers Park Board
Representative Marge Beard and their Executive Director and those two stated their preferred
option would be Alternative 1. Hoversten said the Three Rivers team will need to get buy in
from the Three Rivers Park Board which then can send this option to Hennepin County staff and
Commissioners. Hoversten said Council Members can reach out to Mound's two
Commissioners with Alternative 1. Hoversten said Three Rivers has emphasized this option
due to the crossing being changed for safety improvements.
Simmons said the costs of the project haven't been completely figured out due to not knowing
when the crossing would be rebuilt and to emphasize the focus was pedestrian safety and not
cost of the project. Hoversten noted the addition of the RRFB at Auditors Road was the most
cost-effective of the preliminary cost estimates for the different scenarios. Hoversten said a
traffic signal at Belmont with more road striping for crosswalks would be the most expensive.
Holt asked about using an overhead RRFB at the Commerce Blvd. Dakota Trail crossing. Holt
thought this would be a missed opportunity to not have flashers at Commerce added to the
proposal. Simmons said Three Rivers staff were reticent about asking Hennepin County for a
second crossing but the City can ask for an estimation of the cost for secondary crossing lights
on Commerce.
Simmons said they can cost out the crossing at Commerce separately and call it option 1 B
The Council discussed the safety concerns of the trail crossing at Commerce.
Larson said the crossing of Shoreline at Auditors Road is a gauntlet, noting it is a trail crossing
and not a crosswalk and trail users are not following the stop sign at the trail. Larson added
many bikers enter into traffic and she would prefer a trail crossing with a stop sign for trail users
Larson said she would prefer that Belmont Lane would become a cross walk with lights.
Hoversten said the Belmont crossing would not be emphasized in current options because of
the channeling of pedestrian traffic must be addressed by combining trail and pedestrian
crossings and Alternative 1 is the best of imperfect solutions based on cost and potential buy in
from partner agencies. Hoversten said a partnership with Three Rivers in bringing funds to the
table to Hennepin County is going to get the best response from Hennepin County.
Larson said she is in favor of only one crossing of Shoreline at Belmont and not Auditor's but
wouldn't like a second crossing at Belmont if the Auditor's Road crossing is the choice.
Hoversten said the construction design of the corridor would have to have physical barriers to
deter pedestrians from crossing at Belmont.
Salazar said he likes Alternative 1 while Larson and Pugh said they like #2 because it is only
one crossing and is safer. Simmons said it's great to get Council input but noted the
conclusions of the engineering study are not up for debate.
1181
Council and staff discussed the design phase of the project will be the time to come up with
ideas on addressing the crossing at Belmont, noting the road would need to be pinched
because of where Belmont is in the curve. Hoversten said the idea to reduce lanes on
Shoreline would not be favored by the community and would be more expensive because the
costs without Hennepin County funds would put the burden on the City alone.
MOTION by Salazar, seconded by Holt. Velsor, Salazar and Holt vote in favor and Pugh and
Larson voted no to finalize the Dakota Trail crossing report with preferred option and Commerce
Blvd crossing improvements with corresponding Resolution approving the engineering study.
Motion carried 3 to 2.
MOTION by Salazar, seconded by Holt, to direct staff to prepare a resolution recommending
Alternative A, finalizing the report, and adding an option for the Commerce Blvd. trail crossing to
be shared with partner agencies. The following voted in favor: Salazar, Velsor, Holt. The
following voted against: Larson, Pugh. The following abstained: None. Motion carried.
11. City Engineer Brian Simmons requesting action on a Resolution Approving Plans
and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids for the 2021 Entrance
Monumentation - Project PW 21-13
Simmons brought forward the updated design plans for the entrance monument and noted the
updated cost estimate includes an additional $8,000 due to materials cost increase.
Simmons said the sign is abutting the property line to maintain the Hennepin County Rail Road
Authority corridor. Simmons said there is a resolution in the packet to order bids.
Salazar thanked Larson and Velsor for their work on this project and said the monument is a
tremendous improvement and an investment in the future of the City.
MOTION by Velsor, seconded by Larson, to approve the following Resolution. All voted in
favor. Motion carried.

Simmons said the Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study will be presented to the Council next
month and he will keep the Council informed of progress in this area. Hoversten announced
that State Senator Osmek and State Representative Morrison have been notified of the
acceptance of the funding application in order to better position the City in securing state
bonding dollars. Hoversten said US Congressman Phillips has also been made aware of the
application and US Senator Tina Smith's staff have inquired about the project.
12. Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services, with an update
on Cemetery improvements and requesting the City Council appoint a subcommittee of
two Council Members to work with Staff on developing options.
Pausche said the Council discussed the concept of an ash burial columbarium versus a survey
and platting of the remaining area of the Cemetery in September. Pausche requested a sub-
committee be appointed to work with Staff to come up with options for the Cemetery. Larson
and Pugh volunteered to be committee members on this project.

Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Mound
Mound, Minnesota
The following sets forth the engagement of our services for the certified audit of the accounts of the City of Mound,
Minnesota (the City).
We will audit the financial statements of the City for the years ending December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023 in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit will include tests of the accounting
records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express an opinion that the financial statements are
fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with the financial reporting provisions of the Minnesota Office of the
State Auditor.
We recognize that because of the challenging economic conditions, cities are expected to do more with less. As a result
of this and due to the sale of the Indian Knoll property in 2016, we have reduced our fee over $5,000 from the 2016
Engagement letter. This will allow us to continue a relationship that has provided both parties with outstanding results.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to
be tested. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. Because of the concept of
reasonable assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that a
material misstatement may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect errors, fraud, or
other illegal acts that are immaterial to the financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and
any fraud that comes to our attention. We will also inform you of any other illegal acts that come to our attention, unless
clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to
matters that might arise during any later periods of which we are not engaged as auditors.
We will perform the auditing services discussed above for the calendar years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Audit
2021 $ 28,300
2022 29,100
2023 30,000
The above fees are based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected
circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with
you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs.
• Our fee does not include additional audit services related to requirements of a single audit if one would be
required. Nor does it include fees for additional time require for implementation of additional governmental
accounting standards. Single Audit fees are dependent upon Federal program requirements and are estimated
between $2,500 - $4,000. Those fees would be discussed and agreed to prior to performing the services.
• Our fee includes the city audit, the required management communication letter, the Auditors Report on Minnesota
Legal Compliance, the auditor presentation to the Council, and general consulting related to the audit.
1187
We appreciate the opportunity to continue service with the City and believe this letter accurately summarizes the
significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our
engagement as described in this letter, please sign and return a copy to our office. If you have any questions, please
contact Steve McDonald at 952-715-3002.

LOCATION: Westedge Blvd
REQUEST: Provide information to Council on Staff follow-up and pending actiosn
from Met Council Environmental Services
BACKGROUND:
The Met Council Environmental Services project to replace the Force Main from the
Mound Pumping station disturbed the yards of homes along the project corridor on
Westedge Blvd. This project was completed in 2020 and restoration work at each
property was included in the Council's project scope. Several of the properties have
separate arrangements for individually -completed restoration; but the remaining are to be
completed under the project.
Several of the properties would benefit from re -work or touch up activities to address
areas not fully re-established, winter kill, and disturbance from other warranty -related
work on the project. MCES contract representatives have been out to the project area to
examine the conditions and have provided the following punch list of work to be
completed this spring to address these deficiencies.
6228 Westwood will get the bare area replanted.
2676 Westedge will get the bare areas replanted.
6219 Westwood circle- Tree stump is something the owner has been digging out over the past
year. Not part of our project. The comer area really needs some water. It appears that the area
receiving 100% sun is very dry with cracks in the soils.
2710 Westedge; had separate sewer work on his property. We have agreed to add some seed to
area along slope near the street.
6221 Westedge; we will ask the contractor to touch up the one bare spot next to the MH cover,
which was from a parked truck back in 2020.

RESOLUTION NO. 21-
A RESOLUTION ENDING THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION
WHEREAS, on March 23, 2020, the Mayor issued Mayoral Declaration No. 2020-1
declaring a local emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
WHEREAS, the City Council then exercised its authority under Minnesota Statutes,
section 12.29 to adopt Resolution No. 20-25 to extend the local emergency declaration "until
further action of the City Council";
WHEREAS, the state-wide emergency declared by the Governor remains in place; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines as follows:
a. The declaration of a local emergency allows a city to implement local emergency
plans and to access certain emergency powers to meet, enter into contracts, and raise
funds without having to follow typical procedures to allow it to rapidly respond to the
emergency;
b. Given that the pandemic emergency has extended for more than one year, the need
for a rapid response is no longer necessary;
c. The initial uncertainties associated with the pandemic, the potential need for a local
emergency response, and the possibility a local declaration would be required to be
eligible for federal or state relief funds made the declaration of a local emergency
appropriate;
d. Now that the pandemic emergency has existed for more than a year, the City has
learned how to continue its work without having to rely on emergency plans or the
exercise of emergency powers;
e. It has also become clear that eligibility for federal and state emergency assistance has
not depended upon the existence of a local declaration;
f. The City remains bound by the state-wide declaration and the Governor's emergency
orders regardless of whether a local declaration remains in place;
g. While the pandemic remains a serious public health risk, the increased availability of
vaccines has caused the number and severity of cases to continue to drop;
1190
h. On May 6, 2021, the Governor announced atimeline to end COVID-19 restrictions in
three steps that will end nearly all state restrictions by May 28, 2021 and end the
mask mandate by July 1, 2021 at the latest;
On May 13, 2021, the CDC announced that, with limited exceptions, fully vaccinated
people no longer need to where masks or socially distance; and
j. It is no longer necessary to continue the local emergency declaration as the City can
and will continue to respond to the pandemic without having to rely on local
emergency plans or emergency powers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mound City Council as follows:
1. The local emergency declared by Mayoral Declaration No. 2020-1 and continued by
City Council Resolution No. 20-25 is ended effective immediately.
2. Resolution No. 20-25 is hereby repealed.
3. The City shall continue its work to resume normal operations as soon as possible and
in compliance with the state's diminishing COVID-19 restrictions.

Introduction
The City of Mound, Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District are work! ngtogether to identify
multi mod al transportation improvements on Shore I!ne Drive (CSAH 15) between Commerce Blvd (CSAH
110) and Adidtors Road (Figure 1). Shore I!ne Drive provides an important connection from the City of
Mound and surrounding communities to the City of Minneapolis. The corridor serves multiple
transportation users lncI dicing automobiles, transit, pedestrians and bicyclists. The City of Mound,
Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District desire to define a comprehensive vision for Shore I!ne
Drive and the Dakota Rail Regional Tral I. The study lncI uded:
• Defningthe issues and potentia l opportunities a Ion gthe corridor.
• Establishing the corridor vision and goals.
• Developing and eva l dating potential mutt! moda l infrastructure imp rove ment alternatives.

II. Study Partners
The CSAH 15 Corridor Study was a joint effort between:
• City of Mound
• Three Rivers Park District
• Hennepin County
These agencies served asthe Project Management Team (PMT) and met throughout the study process
to review and discuss study progress and technical deliverables.

III. Existing Conditions
Existing conditions were documented on Shoreline Drive with a focus on land use, traffic operations,
safety, access, and pedestrian/bicycle accommodations. This information served as the framework for
developing improvement goals for Shoreline Drive and the Dakota Rail Regional Trail and was based on
the technical study analysis.
The study team's existing condition analysis examined the following areas:
Transportation System Characteristics
In the context of the overall transportation system, Shoreline Drive serves as a minor arterial roadway
providing a key connection from Mound to Minnetonka and further on to Minneapolis on the east and
Minnetrista on the west. The connection to Commerce Blvd and associated land uses such as Walgreens,
Mound Marketplace, Mound Transit Center, Wells Fargo Bank, True Value, and the Mound Harbor
District influence traffic and use of the Shoreline Drive corridor.
Existing Traffic Operations
Existing operations show acceptable delays, Level of Service C or better, throughout the study area.
Further information on the traffic analysis and traffic information for the developed alternatives can be
found in Section IV.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Connections
Sidewalks are present along both sides of the corridor. Sidewalk space is typically constrained and right
against the roadway curb. Designated pedestrian crossings are located at the signalized crossing of
Shoreline Drive and Commerce Boulevard and the west side of the unsignalized intersection of Shoreline
Drive and Belmont Lane. Pedestrian crossings of a 4-lane roadway section are prone to the possibility of
a multiple -threat situation. As a driver yields to a pedestrian crossing one of two lanes of traffic, the
driver in the second lane may not see the pedestrian and continue at full speed. See Figure 2 below.
Figure 2 - Multiple Threat Situation
Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Shoreline Drive Corridor Study I C1.123152
Page 3
1198
The Dakota Rail Regional Trail runs east -west through the City of Mound, crosses Shoreline Drive at
Auditors Road, crosses Commerce Boulevard at a mid -block crossing south of Shoreline Drive and
consists of unmarked crossings. Both crossings are prone to a multiple -threat crossing as described
above.
Three Rivers Park District's annual use estimates for the Dakota Rail Regional Trail started in 2009 and
the most recent data available is from 2019. In 2009, the total trail visits were estimated to be 255,100
and increased to 473,900 total visits in 2019. Trail use increased rapidly from 2009 to 2014 and has been
relatively steady since that time. Not all trail users travel the entire length of the trail and Three Rivers
Park District estimates that the Mound section of the trail sees nearly one-third of all visits, or 150,000
visits per year.
For 2020, the pandemic resulted in a significant increase in visitation to parks and trails nationwide, and
locally as well. While Three Rivers did not do a standard visitor count for regional trails in 2020,
automated counters were used on two trails (Rush Creek Regional Trail in Brooklyn Park and Nine Mile
Regional Trail in Edina). These auto -counters indicated a visitation increase of over 110 % from 2019 on
those trails, and it is likely that the Dakota Rail Regional Trail saw a similar increase for 2020. The
National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) research on the effects of the pandemic on park use
indicates that the pandemic brought many new visitors to parks and trails, and that retention (repeat
visitation) of new users will result in continued use much higher than pre -pandemic levels. Three Rivers
Park District plans to resume counts in the summer of 2021, after which impacts on trail visitation
growth will be better understood.
Transit Service
The Mound Transit Center is located within the study area and serves Route 645, with limited stop
service to downtown Minneapolis, and Route 677, with express service to downtown Minneapolis.
IV. Traffic Analysis
The non -motorized emphasis of the proposed study area roadway improvements will reallocate some
existing automobile space to bicycle and pedestrian space, therefore traffic operations analysis was
performed to understand potential impacts to automobile traffic.
Traffic Data
To support traffic analysis, 13 hours of intersection turning movement data (6 am to 7 pm) was collected
on January 28, 2021 at the following intersections:
• CSAH 15 and Commerce Boulevard
• CSAH 15 and Belmont Lane
• CSAH 15 and Auditors Road
Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc.

Traffic Impacts from COVID-19
Data collected for this traffic analysis was compared to the most recent MnDOT traffic data that was
collector prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis evaluated traffic data near the intersection of
CSAH 15 and Commerce Boulevard.
Assuming that the 13-hour traffic data collected represents approximately 75 to 85 percent of daily
traffic, 2021 traffic data appears to be generally consistent with typical traffic conditions (see Table 1).
As such, unadjusted 2021 traffic data was used in subsequent traffic analysis.

Traffic Operations Analysis
Traffic operations analysis at study intersections was performed for AM and PM peak hour traffic
conditions under the following roadway network scenarios:
• Existing roadway configuration (no build)
• Consolidate CSAH 15 non -motorized crossings at Auditors Road
• Consolidate CSAH 15 non -motorized crossings at Belmont Lane
• Consolidate CSAH 15 non -motorized crossings at Commerce Boulevard
Analysis Methodology
Traffic operations were evaluated using the Synchro 11 software, which implements the intersection
level of service (LOS) analysis methodology from the Highway Capacity Manual.
This analysis evaluated overall intersection LOS, approach LOS, and lane group LOS. Note that some lane
groups include multiple movements where lanes facilitate multiple movements (i.e., shared
through/right-turn lane).
This traffic analysis considers operations at LOS E or worse deficient, in accordance with typical MnDOT
design standards.
Analysis Results
Existing Conditions
Under the existing roadway configuration, traffic operations are at LOS C or better throughout the study
area. Levels of service for AM and PM peak hour conditions are shown in Table 2 and Table 3,
respectively.

Consolidate Non -Motorized Crossings at Auditors Road
Assumed Roadway Revisions
This concept would consolidate the existing crossings at Auditors Road and at Belmont Lane into a single
crossing on the west side of Auditors Road. The crossing would be supplemented with an overhead
rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB). A short segment (around 300 feet) of the Dakota Rail Regional
Trail would be reconstructed on the south side of CSAH 15 to tie into the new crossing configuration.
This concept also assumed the following modifications at the intersection of CSAH 15 and Auditors
Road:
• Convert intersection into a''%access (no left turns from Auditor's Road)
• Remove eastbound right turn lanes on CSAH 15 (convert outer through lane to a shared
through/right-turn lane)
A conceptual layout for this configuration is provided in Appendix A.
Traffic Operations Impacts
The above modifications are not expected to introduce operations deficiencies at any study intersection,
with LOS C or better expected for all traffic movements during AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions.
Levels of service for AM and PM peak hour conditions with the proposed revisions are shown in Table 4
and Table 5, respectively.

Consolidate Non -Motorized Crossings at Belmont Lane
Assumed Roadway Revisions
This concept would remove the existing non -motorized crossing at Auditors Road, instead having users
cross at Belmont Lane. A bike crossing would be provided on the east side of Belmont Lane, with a
pedestrian crossing provided on the west side. The crossing would be supplemented with an overhead
rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) or a traffic signal. A short segment (around 230 feet) of the
Dakota Rail Regional Trail would be reconstructed on the south side of CSAH 15 to tie into the new bike
crossing configuration.
Additional roadway modifications that were assumed for this concept include:
Convert the typical CSAH 15 roadway section to one through -lane in each direction within the
study area
o One eastbound through lane between Commerce Boulevard and Auditors Road
o One westbound through lane between Cypress Lane and Belmont Lane
A conceptual layout for this configuration is provided in Appendix A.
Signal Warrant Analysis at Belmont Lane
Signal warrant analysis was performed for the intersection of CSAH 15 and Belmont Lane, assuming the
above roadway revisions were implemented. This analysis was based on guidance provided in the
Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Using 2021 traffic data collected for this study, a traffic signal is not warranted. As such, traffic
operations analysis for this intersection assumes the existing two-way stop control is maintained. The
results of the signal warrant analysis are shown in Appendix C.
Traffic Operations Impacts
The cross-section change on CSAH 15 is not expected to introduce operations deficiencies, with most of
the traffic movements being studied operating at LOS C or better during both the AM and PM peak
hour. LOS D is expected for the northbound left turn movement at Belmont Lane in the PM peak hour;
however, this is within typical design standards, and is a low volume movement (46 northbound left
turns in the PM peak hour).
Levels of service for AM and PM peak hour conditions with the proposed revisions are shown in Table 6
and Table 7, respectively.

Consolidate Non -Motorized Crossings at Commerce Boulevard
This concept would eliminate the existing Dakota Rail Regional Trail crossing of CSAH 15, instead adding
on -street bike facilities on CSAH 15 and Westedge Boulevard. This on -street route would then connect
back to the existing Regional Trail alignment at Westedge Boulevard.
The proposed bike facility type varies by location:
CSAH 15: Auditors Road to Commerce Boulevard — 2-way separated bike lane on the north side
of CSAH 15
CSAH 15: Commerce Boulevard to Westedge Boulevard —Standard bike lanes, with buffered
bike lanes near the intersection with Commerce Boulevard
Westedge Boulevard —Advisory shoulders
Additional roadway revisions that were assumed in this concept include:
• CSAH 15 Cross -Section
o Convert to one westbound through lane between Auditors Road and Commerce
Boulevard (maintain two eastbound through lanes)
• Intersection of CSAH 15 and Commerce Boulevard
o Remove westbound right turn lane, converting the existing through lane into a shared
through/right turn lane
A conceptual layout for this configuration is provided in Appendix A.
Traffic Operations Impacts
The reallocation of roadway space to non -motorizes uses is not expected to introduce operations
deficiencies in the study area. The intersection of CSAH 15 and Commerce Boulevard is expected to
remain at overall intersection LOS B throughout the day, with no approach operating lower than LOS C.
The northbound left turn movement at Belmont Lane is expected to operate at LOS D during the PM
peak, but this is within typical design standards.

V. Key Transportation Issues
An important element of the study was the identification of key transportation issues. The following
information provides a summary of issues identified by existing conditions analysis and agency input.
Issues were identified as primary and secondary issues. Primary issues are vital to the success of a
potential project in making the required improvements needed. Secondary issues are also important but
were not considered to set the framework for potential improvements. They may relate to items that
can be addressed regardless of the alternative selected from this study.
Primary Issues
Lack of Comfortable Crossings
A primary issue is the lack of comfortable pedestrian and bicyclist crossings across the corridor. This lack
of connectivity suppresses active transportation throughout the corridor and presents an opportunity
for increased multimodal use.
• Lack of designated pedestrian crossings in desirable locations.
• Lack of traffic control devices at Belmont Lane and Auditors Road combined with poor sight lines
and multiple lanes of vehicular traffic.
• Lack of pedestrian refuge islands at uncontrolled crossings.
Secondary Issues
Agency input also identified a variety of secondary issues, including:
• Alignment of roadway related to sight lines
• Access point sight lines and safety related to vehicle speeds
VI. Study Goals and Objectives
Following the identification of issues and needs along Shoreline Drive and the Dakota Rail Regional Trail
through both a technical process and agency input, study partners developed the following Corridor
Study goals:
• Develop a financially responsible plan
• Safely accommodate all users (vehicles, transit, pedestrians, bicycles)
• Provide efficient and reliable mobility
• Provide infrastructure improvements compatible with social, environmental, and economic
resources
Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Shoreline Drive Corridor Study I C1.123152
Page 9
1204
These goals were used to identify and evaluate the trade-offs between improvement options. Each goal
was comprised of specific objectives and performance measures as well related to specific components
or factors in the goals.
VII. Identification and Evaluation of Alternatives
The study area has three distinct intersections where alternatives were considered, which are Auditors
Road, Belmont Lane, and Commerce Boulevard. Multiple improvement alternatives were identified and
evaluated based on the existing conditions analysis and issues and needs identified through agency
input. Full copies of the alternative drawings can be found in Appendix A. An evaluation matrix was used
to compare the benefits and trade-offs between alternatives as compared to the study's goals. This
evaluation matrix can be seen in Appendix D.
Each alternative's probable costs are based on MnDOT 2019 statewide average bid prices. To develop
planning -level opinions of probable costs, it was necessary to make some assumptions about
construction. The opinions of probable costs include typical construction materials and costs such as
excavation, grading, base, pavement, pavement markings, and signing and markings.
Each alternative includes a range for the opinions of probable costs. The high end of the range includes
an allowance for design and engineering. Each opinion of probable cost also includes a 20%contingency
that may account for unexpected costs or unknown project -specific cost items at this planning -level
phase. These opinions of probable costs also include lump sum allowances for construction cost
incidentals such as landscaping/ turf establishment, drainage/utilities, and erosion and sediment
control. Individual project costs may vary; these opinions of probable costs are only intended to be used
at a planning level and should be refined throughout project development.
No Build Alternative
NO BUILD OVERVIEW:
• No changes to existing conditions
• 4-lane divided highway with dedicated turn lanes
• Uncontrolled crossings at Belmont Lane and Auditors Road
• No curb extensions
NO BUILD OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COSTS
As Alternative 1 is a no -build with no future project planned on the corridor, an opinion of probable
costs was not calculated.

ALTERNATIVE 3 OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COSTS
The planning -level opinions of probable costs to implement Alternative 3 are $300,000-$360,000. The
estimate includes the cost of resurfacing the roadway, constructing a two-way separated bikeway and
sidewalk, constructing a shared use path and a sidewalk, new ADA-compliant curb ramps, striping,
signing and marking, and a 20% contingency for unexpected costs. The higher end of the opinions of
probable costs range includes the costs for roadway design and engineering. More information on the
opinions of probable costs is provided in Appendix B.
Additional Trail Crossing Enhancements
During the alternative analysis, it was determined that the midblock crossing of the Dakota Rail Regional
Trail on Commerce Boulevard would meet warrants for crossing enhancements based on the Federal
Highway Administration's (FHWA) Field Guide for Selecting Countermeasures at Uncontrolled Pedestrian
Crossing Locations. The ADT on this section of Commerce Boulevard is 9,100. The roadway configuration
is four lanes without a median. The posted speed limit is 30 mph. This results in the following
countermeasures:
• Consider high -visibility crosswalk markings, adequate nighttime lighting levels, and crossing
warning signs —should always occur in conjunction with other identified countermeasures
• Countermeasures that should always be considered
o Advance Stop Here for Pedestrians sign and stop line
o Pedestrian refuge island
• Countermeasures that are candidate treatments
o Curb extension
o RRFB
o Road Diet
o Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
Pedestrian refuge islands, curb extensions, and pedestrian hybrid beacons were dismissed due to the
lack of available space and relative unfamiliarity with hybrid beacons. The concept of a road diet is out
of the scope of this study and may be considered in future corridor studies along Commerce Boulevard
to determine its feasibility.
The planning -level opinions of probable costs to implement these additional crossing enhancements are
$25,000-$35,000. The estimate includes the cost of striping, signing and marking, an RRFB, and a 20%
contingency for unexpected costs. The higher end of the opinions of probable costs range includes the
costs for roadway design and engineering.
Dismissed Alternatives
During the alternative analysis, several ideas were discussed but ultimately dismissed as being fatally
flawed when compared against the study goals.
• Grade Separated Option —An overpass along the regional trail over Shoreline Drive was not
technically feasible due to the overheard transmission lines that run along the trail. An
Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc.

1209
underpass was considered, but due to the runout length required to go under Shoreline Drive,
high groundwater, nearby surface waters, and roadway utilities this alternative was considered
infeasible.
Technical Evaluation of Alternatives
The project team evaluated each of the alternatives based on a set of technical evaluation criteria. The
evaluation criteria were developed based on the overall project goals, which included four main
categories:
• Cost
• Safety
• Compliance
• Community

A summary of the technical evaluation matrix is shown above. A more detailed technical evaluation
matrix is shown in Appendix D, which includes individual objectives and goals for each evaluation
category.
Vill. Recommended Alternative
The PMT considered results of the technical analysis as well as stakeholder input and feedback when
working towards a recommended alternative. The following describes the recommendations made
along Warren Street as part of this study.
Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Shoreline Drive Corridor Study I C1.123152
Page 15

Recommended Alternative
The recommended alternative is Alternative 1. Alternative 1 retains the existing trail alignment, retains
four lanes of traffic on Shoreline Drive, reduces conflicts at Auditors Road, and adds overhead RRFB's to
increase visibility and vehicle yielding for bicyclists and pedestrians at the crossing.
Alternative 1 is recommended for the following reasons:
• Achieves a majority of the study goals
• Increases pedestrian and bicyclist safety by removing turn lanes, which shortens crossing
distances, increases the visibility of pedestrians, and offers a refuge along Shoreline Drive
• Maintains the existing Dakota Rail Regional Trail alignment
• Scores the highest in the technical evaluation matrix
Stakeholder feedback is supported in the recommended alternative:
• Retains access to public amenities along the trail system
• Excludes lane reductions along Shoreline Drive
It is recommended that high -visibility crosswalk markings, advance Stop Here for Pedestrian signs and
stop lines, and RRFB's be installed at the midblock regional trail crossing of Commerce Boulevard.
IX. Next Steps
The purpose of the Shoreline Drive Corridor Study is to develop a plan for improvements to Shoreline
Drive and the Dakota Rail Regional Trail crossings which will guide what may be included in a future
project along Shoreline Drive. The concepts developed as part of this study are high-level and will need
additional refinement through preliminary and final design. Environmental review and permitting will
also be required with exact requirements based on the scope of the project and the funding source. As
future projects may turn from plan to reality, they will move forward as part of the City's CIP process,
which involves additional public engagement specific to the project area and timing.
The improvement options identified and alternatives recommended in this study will help the City of
Mound continue to maintain a better functioning, greater mobility, and safer minor arterial roadway.
Study partners must continue to work together to further plan, obtain funding, design, and implement
the recommended improvement projects. All partners have an active role in implementing these
improvements. All competitive funding sources should be considered. Agencies should also update their
comprehensive and transportation plans to include these findings to better leverage funding sources.

Motion by Cordie, Second by Kahn; Motion carried 4-0
S. Comments and Suggestions from Citizens Present
Commission welcomed guests, no comments provided.
6. Spring park visits and 2022 Budget preliminary discussion
Hoversten introduced the overall budget process and cycle beginning for 2022 in June with staff
inputs. The spring park visits provide and opportunities for different eyes to view the parks to
identify any immediate repair or improvement items that might be completed under routine,
current year operations and maintenance as well as identifying future improvements to be
incorporated into budget planning.
Hoversten walked the Commission through several exhibits provided including the new web -
director of parks that is on the City web page, a synopsis of existing future considerations for
each maintained public space in the inventory (with a different key map than the web site),
Listing of past priorities and completed tasks and improvements, and finally the capital plan for
future year park improvements. These exhibits are provided as contextual guides for each
Commissioner during their visits and to highlight met and known un-met requires at each facility.
A grading comment sheet and groupings of geographically proximate parks were provided for
visitation assignment.
Chair Mills assigned parks groupings based on first interest to the commissioners.
Commissioners will attempt to visit their parks prior to the May 13 Commission Meeting where
these conditions and discoveries will be further discussed. Reports provided back to Citv Staff
will be consolidated and included in the meeting packet for the May 13 meeting.
1215
7. Updates on Previous Actions
Hoversten provided a brief update on the Natives and Pollinators Demonstration Project at
Belmont Park. Parks and management staff met with community volunteer and project
champion Mr Pieper on site to discuss layout and site prep needs, plant ordering and proposed
schedules. The proposed schedule for the project will be emailed to Commissioners for their
situational awareness.
Hoversten provided status on improvements to the Adopt-a-Greenspace literature and ordering
of adoption signage for the subject facilities. Literature has been updated to current on the City
web page and the adoption signs have been ordered from our vendor.
Hoversten updated the Commission on participation levels in the initial data gathering survey
phase of the harbor District planning study. Over 650 community members had participated in
the survey as of the meeting.
9. Reports:
Council Representative Ms Pugh provided highlights of the last Council meeting to the
Commission including the concerns of current Lost lake Villas residents regarding a proposed
commercial tenant in the small shopping center on adjacent property.
Ms Pugh highlighted the emerging conversation with Council, Staff and the Community regarding
discovery of excessive levels of manganese in our source water and the actions of the City to
notify and address a long term solution.
Ms Pugh asked about City long term plans for tree inventory and replacement. She identified the
importance of these tools in managing the urban canopy and managing the impact of potential
mass die -off from issues such as Emerald Ash Borer. Hoversten provided that formal survey and
inventory of trees on City property had not been undertaken. Cordie identified several
opportunities to get volunteer assistance to complete this type of task.
