Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 19, 2007 Page 10 Ms. Bloom advised that this would consist of preliminary engineering and cost al- location estimates for future developers for infrastructure improvements necessary to support projected future growth in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area over the next few decades. Ms. Bloom noted that SRF brought significant background information and experience to the project, having modeled this are for the AUAR update. Ms. Bloom advised that the analysis would include a comprehensive list of infrastructure improvements for the area (i.e., public transportation, technology conduits, watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer improvements); and include concept sketches, right-of--way needs and preliminary cost estimates for all infra- structure improvements, with allocation of costs to the appropriate existing, and proposed developments, based on contributing factors including vehicular trips, water usage, sanitary flow and runoff. Discussion included calculation criteria to determine cost allocations for infra- structure improvements incorporated into individual Planned Unit Development (PUD) Agreements as a condition of approval; pending financial analysis being performed by staff; and the need for developers to obtain this information prior to moving forward with land acquisition and/or a proposed project to determine cash flow projections. Councilmember Ihlan opined that, while she wasn't opposed to the analysis, it was premature until actual proposals were submitted, rather than being based on worst case scenarios that didn't have full Council support. Further discussion included the rationale for this framework analysis, with those basic assumptions tweaked as projects develop further; assumptions on the con- struction of Twin Lakes Parkway and whether it would connect I-35W to Fair- view Avenue, with the AUAR mitigation plan committing to construction of Twin Lakes Parkway and Mount Ridge Road; and staff noting the receipt of one other proposal for the analysis. Roe moved, Pust seconded, approval of a contract between the City of Roseville and SRF Consulting Group for a Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area Public Infra- structure Cost Allocation Analysis, at a cost not to exceed $32,300; for the pur- pose of allocating future public improvement costs related to full build conditions (year 2030) of the Twin Lakes Business Park AUAR area to the appropriate exist- ing and future redevelopment/developments. Councilmember Roe opined that this was a good idea at this point, particularly with recent discussions related to the Northwestern College Environmental As- sessment Worksheet (EAW) and the need to determine allocation of various parts of infrastructure improvements for future development and/or redevelopment.
