11-15 Apple Rd Streambank Stabilization Agreement MCWD#QA
MEETING TYPE
City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Apple Road Streambank Stabilization Project — MCWD Funding Agreement
Meeting Date: January 13, 2014
Prepared by: Paul Nornby
Reviewed by: Tim Keane
Attachments: MCWD Funding Agreement, Resolution
Background: The City of Shorewood has been working with residents and the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District to design and construct an erosion stabilization project for the steep sloped ditch
along Apple Road. As part of the project, the City and MCWD worked collaboratively to develop the
design and work toward a shared funding opportunity. The enclosed information includes the funding
agreement prepared by the MCWD, providing reimbursement of project costs in the amount of
$21,812.50 or 50% of the documented construction costs, whichever is less.
The City Council has previously approved an "Easement for Access, Construction, and Maintenance, and
Maintenance Declaration" (Easement) as the final approval step needed to obtain the MCWD permit to
construct the project. The enclosed funding agreement (paragraph 3) includes a maintenance
requirement that essentially requires the City to maintain the constructed project into perpetuity,
similar to the Easement the City approved previously, but also includes a provision for repayment of
grant funds if the City fails to maintain any portion of the project in accordance with the Easement. The
repayment of grant funds terminates 5 -years after substantial completion of construction.
Paragraph 4 of the agreement requires the City to erect educational and informational signs visible to
the public way. Any publicly distributed information regarding the project will need to acknowledge the
funding participation of the MCWD.
The funding agreement provides some benefit to the City by providing and an opportunity for a share of
load allocation credit, which can be applied to the City requirements for meeting MCWD requirements.
This will become more important for the City as regulations advance to reduce sediment and nutrient
loading to protect downstream resources. The City and MCWD consultant on the project has previously
calculated a load reduction of 39 Tons /Year of sediment and 7 Lbs /Year of phosphorus.
The project has advanced since 2012, with selective clearing of trees, and bidding the grading work and
rock grade erosion control structure along the steepest slopes of the ditch channel. The grading and
rock slope construction work has not been performed to date. The project schedule has been
postponed to the spring of 2014 due to the sudden cold temperatures experienced in December.
Financial or Budget Considerations: The City has received the cost share grant (pending approval of the
funding agreement) as mentioned above with the MCWD, and has a BWSR grant through the
Conservation Corps for providing labor for tree removal, seeding and plantings for the project. The
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1
project cost is currently estimated in the amount of $48,500, including a 3 -year vegetation maintenance
program allowance previously discussed with the City Council.
Maintenance will be an ongoing process for this project after construction as previously discussed in the
Easement document, with a 3 -year plant establishment monitoring and maintenance program, and
erosion and planting maintenance by City crews after the plant establishment period has expired. It is
anticipated the plant maintenance requirements will be reduced to a minimal requirement after the
plant establishment period. The City is also required under the easement agreement to perform annual
maintenance reporting to the MCWD.
Options: The Council can consider the following potential action options or others actions as
determined at the Council meeting:
1. Approve the funding agreement as prepared by the MCWD —The funding agreement has
provisions, among other remedies, for repayment of funds by the City to the MCWD for a five
year period for failure to maintain any portion of the project in accordance with easement and
declaration.
2. Construct the project without MCWD funding —This option would allow the project to be
constructed as a City project, with City funds and reduces the City obligations to the district for
reimbursement of granted funds.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends, with concurrence of the City Attorney, that
the Council approve the Resolution authorizing staff to execute the Apple Road Streambank Stabilization
Project Funding Agreement with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as indicated in Option 1.
Construction will begin in the spring of 2014 after roadway seasonal load restrictions are cancelled.
FUNDING AGREEMENT
APPLE ROAD STREAMBANK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Between the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the City of Shorewood
This Agreement is entered into by and between the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District, a special purpose district of the State of Minnesota with powers set
forth at Minnesota Statutes chapters 1036 and 103D (District), and the City of
Shorewood, a statutory city and political subdivision of the State of Minnesota
(City).
The Agreement is entered into to provide for District reimbursement to the City
for costs incurred by the City to construct streambank improvements on five
properties: four in Shorewood, Hennepin County, Minnesota, at 22015 Stratford
Place, Shorewood, MN 55331, PID 3S]1723330023; 22035 Stratford Place
Shorewood, MN 55331, PID 3511723330022; 24000 Stratford Place Shorewood,
MN 55331, PID 3511723330021; 23080 Stratford Place, Shorewood, MN S5331,
PID 3511723330020, and one in Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota, at
1 550 Creel< Run Trail Chanhassen, Minnesota 55331, PID 252540030, each of
which is separately owned in fee (the Properties).
The District has determined the amount of funding that it will contribute on the
basis of the water - quality protection and improvement, public education and
demonstration benefits that will be realized by the City's stabilization of
approximately 650 feet of an eroded channel and establish 20 to 80 feet of
upland native buffer along the channel to reduce phosphorus loading, erosion
and sedimentation to Galpin Lake and Lake Minnetonka, a public water and
major recreational water body (the Project).
The District commits to reimburse the City in accordance with the terms and on
satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement.
1 . Streambank Protection Project Design and Construction
Plans and specifications for the Project are attached as Exhibit A (the Designs)
and incorporated herein. The City will obtain and record an easement and
