VICTORY DRIVE
FROM COMMENCEMENT BLVD. TO TIGER DRIVE
STREET AND UTILITY
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
CITY OF
MARSHALL, MINNESOTA
1.0 SCOPE
The preparation of this Feasibility Report, as authorized by the City Council covers the proposed
construction of Victory Drive from Commencement Boulevard east to Tiger Drive. Victory Drive shall
be constructed for commercial development. A 5 foot wide sidewalk will be constructed along both
sides of the street and will be extended along the south side of Commencement Boulevard to connect
with the existing sidewalk along Tiger Drive. The surface water shall be collected in a storm sewer and
discharged into the existing 36” diameter storm sewer line located in the adjacent property south of the
proposed project. Storm water pond facilities are located provided downstream of the connection point
to provide detention for the high storm events.
The proposed street construction includes grading, granular base, bituminous pavement, sidewalk, and
miscellaneous work associated with the Street Construction. Utilities include construction of
watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and street lighting.
2.0 BACKGROUND
This project is part of a commercial development including a multi-sport complex for the Southwest
Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission, car dealership, a hotel, restaurant and other commercial
business.
A grading plan as well as a surface water management plan has been completed for the commercial
development. The surface water management plan includes storm water ponds on both sides of T.H. 23
and the expansion of the existing Tiger Park Pond. Construction of the storm water ponds and site
grading is currently under contract and is scheduled to be completed early this summer. Previously the
City petitioned the Lyon County Board of Commissioners for transfer to the City of Marshall, for that
part of Drainage System Branch 10 of county Ditch 60B, lying within the City limits of the City of
Marshall. With the construction of the three storm water detention ponds no change to the discharge
pipe size or location at the City limits is anticipated at this time.

3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Previously, the alignment of Victory Drive was agricultural land. It is bordered by T.H. 23 to the west,
the Marshall Public High School and Schwan’s Development Property to the east and southeast.
A very deep 27-inch trunk sanitary sewer line runs along the T.H. 23 corridor. Marshall Municipal
Utilities has a 16-inch watermain along Tiger Drive south of the High School property.
Storm sewer flows through a 30 foot wide utility easement in the property along the alignment of
Victory Drive. Currently, there is a construction project to improve the storm sewer system within the
development area. The work includes construction of a storm pond west of T.H.23 on SMSU property,
construction of a storm pond in the intersection of T.H.23 and East College Drive, the expansion of the
existing Tiger Park storm pond and other storm sewer improvements. The entire storm water facility
drains to County Ditch 60B east of Marshall.
4.0 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Victory Drive shall be located within a 66 foot wide right of way. The street shall have a width of 40
feet, face to face of curbs, consisting of two 13.5 foot wide driving lanes with 13 foot wide center turn
lane. The street will be constructed with B618 curb and gutter, a 6-inch thick bituminous pavement, 15”
thick Class 5 granular and geotextile fabric. The street is designed with a 10-ton design to
accommodate heavier traffic loads for the commercial development area. A 5 foot wide sidewalk will
be constructed along both sides of the street and will be extended along the south side of
Commencement Boulevard to connect with the existing sidewalk along Tiger Drive. A portion of the
sidewalk may be installed under the development contract of the Amateur Sports project.
Storm water treatment for this project is currently being constructed in the Tiger Park Drainage
Improvements Project. All of Victory Drive and related drainage is proposed to drain to the Tiger Park
Drainage Improvements Project being constructed in conjunction with Southwest Minnesota State
University, Southwest Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission, and the related commercial
development planned for the adjacent property.
Storm sewer proposed on Victory Drive will include the construction of catch basins and storm
manholes to connect to the storm sewer improvements being constructed in the Tiger Park Drainage
Improvements Project.
The proposed project includes the construction of a branch sewer main off of the deep 27-inch trunk
sanitary sewer line which runs along the T.H. 23 corridor. A 12” PVC sewer main and related manhole
structures will be installed from the trunk sewer east along Victory Drive and beyond to the city limits.
Service lines will be extended into each lot along the route to serve future development.
The proposed project includes the construction of a watermain along Victory Drive from the 16-inch
watermain on Tiger Drive extending to the north side of Commencement Blvd. An 8” PVC main,
fittings and hydrants will be installed. The 8” watermain will be bored under Commencement Blvd. to
the north providing future service and looping.
Street lighting will be provided by Marshall Municipal Utilities.
