Re: Limited Use Permit
Agenda Item#: 9.a)
As mentioned at the February 12t meeting, staff has obtained additional information from
MNDOT in relation to condition#60 (page 9). In order for the trail to be reconstructed MNDOT
would require the City to enter into a Limited Use Permit agreement with MNDOT for the
maintenance and operation of the trail. Resolution 02-19-13-03 and the require attachment are
provided in your packet. There are no specific maintenance requirements from MNDOT. The
City would decide the level maintenance but would need to address any complaints that came
from trail users such as removing vegetation or plowing in the winter.
Following the February 12th meeting, the City Planner contacted MNDOT with additional
questions. If the City does not choose to enter into the LUP with MNDOT now, it could still do
so anytime in the future if it wanted to take over the trail. MNDOT would not require that the
City pay for an easement or right-of-way if it chose to come back in the future. MNDOT further
suggested there may be grant funds available to help with the trail. The City Planner is
researching this more and may have additional information at the meeting.
If the City chose not to approve the LUP at this time, they should take out the condition requiring
Tiller to reconshuct the trail. The reconstruction of this area of the trail by Tiller is one
advantage to approving the LUP at this time rather than waiting. However, if other funds are not
available for the rest of the trail the Council should consider if this advantage outweighs any
future potential costs or liability issues.
