665W (the Lord of Life Wetland) to wetland 680W on the east side of T.H. #47 which has an outlet to the Rum River. The second project consists of a more involved project which is centered around the wetland systems in the vicinity of 149th Avenue. The Wetland 658W, which is located on the west side of the highway, accepts drainage from the developing area north to 153rd Avenue and west to C.S.A.H. #5, presently has no outlet. In addition, the wetland system on the east side of T.H. #47, which primarily includes Wetland 659W has an emergency overflow which does not adequately handle the bounce on this wetland system to prevent flooding. This project will entail the construction of approximately 2,400 feet of 15" and 18" storm pipe and will require installation in and restoration of 149th Avenue from T.H. ff,-47 to Xkimo Street. .Costs: The major costs include construction cost and project overhead. The total project cost is estimated to be $215,000. 5) Redevelopment of Katnis Property Background: This project does not need to be a part of the T.H. #-47 STP project, however, Lord of Life church desires an access from T.H. ff47 which could be facilitated by a spur street off Sunwood Drive as illustrated in the T.H. ~g47 Corridor Study. This project also facilitates a land use development more consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Improvements: The improvements associated with this would include the extension of 600 feet of roadway and associated sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer to the Lord of Life property. Costs:. The major cost associated would include land acquisition, construction costs and project overhead. The Katnis property is 13.2 acres and is currently listed for sale at an asking price of $995,000. The 600-foot street extension with utilities from Sunwood Drive to the southern boundary of the site is estimated to be $100,000. Update on Amoco Access Issue There have been differing accounts on the issue of whether Amoco agreed to relinquish its right-of-access to T.H. #47 at some point in time. I have researched our files to discover a MnDOT letter to Ann Norris, dated May 4, 1988, which stated that "We would prefer no additional direct access be allowed to T.H. #47". The City's development agreement stated that "accesses to the subject property shall be in accordance with specifications of the City Engineer and Minnesota Department of Transportation". A copy of MnDOT's access permit is attached. The fourth and fifth paragraphs on the last page address this issue. This documentation has been forwarded to Attorney Goodrich for an opinion.
