Right-of-Way Requirements While it is anticipated that most of the improvements will be development driven, and Right of Way will be secured through the platting process, understanding and documenting the potential needs will allow the City to plan in advance for acquisitions. The City can then provide that documentation to developers as they begin to consider options within the study area. Phased Improvements While there is a general understanding of the improvements required to ultimately serve the area, sequencing of the improvements will allow for planning and fiscal responsibility. Our understanding of the most logical phasing sequence includes: • Phase 1—Complete construction of Bunker Lake Boulevard from Armstrong Boulevard to the westerly school property driveway. Sanitary sewer and water have already been extended to this point. • Phase 2—Construction of Bunker Lake Boulevard from the Phase 1 limits to Puma Street. Construction of Puma Street from Bunker Lake Boulevard to the north.The northerly limits along Puma Street will be the approximate location of a lift station required to serve areas further to the north and west. • Phase 3—Completion of improvements along Puma Street. • Future Phases—We verified the improvements considered can service areas beyond Phase 3. For instance, the gravity sanitary sewer can serve areas west of Puma Street. No further work was completed beyond Phase 3 other these verifications. Costs for each phase were developed to allow for the City to plan for the sequenced implementation of the improvements.The anticipated phasing is depicted on Figure 4 in Appendix A. Jurisdictional Authority/Approvals/Permits As the project moves from the planning stages to design and construction, permits will be required from various agencies. Understanding and planning for requirements associated with obtaining permits and approvals at this time will be critical to the ultimate success of the process.The following agencies will be permitting entities for considered improvements: • Minnesota Department of Transportation State Aid: Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma Street are State Aid routes, • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency: NPDES Storm Water Permit, • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency: Sanitary Sewer Extension Permit, • Minnesota Department of Health (MDH): Watermain Extension and Dewatering, Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc.
