STREET IMPROVEMENTS Item 6-A Bob Scribne., 2015 Lancaster lane, felt that the high traffic volume andha`Lards on South "hore Drive suggest that the 10th Avenue project is needed and that the intersection of South Shore Drive with 10th Avenue should be as much of a right angle as possible to discourage use. HenryOlson, 10717A - 10th Avenue Ncrth, protested the improvement to the extent that mobila homes would be disrupted. He requested that an alternate route be considered to avoid disrupting homer. in the area. 177- t 1.f _ i /ax. V . . .L ._i July 24. 1978 Page 178 Jim Olson, Consulting Engineer, indicated that Alternate 1 would require the removal of five mobile home units, b»t that Alternate 2 moves the centerline c .ne road to the north averting the need to move these homes. Mr. Olson pointed out that these two basic alternates could be varied and that the final determination might be based upon economic factors. David Me Fink, 1045 Nathan Lane, indicated his property is immediately north of WeFproposed street and the proposed pmject would create a debt against his property, Acting Mayor Spaeth responded that when Mr. Fink built upon that property he dedicated a portion of the property as an easement and therefore must have known that the street was proposed vor eventual completion. Mr. Fink stated that the south side of the street had not been dedicated, creating more uncertainty about the pro- Ject implementation. Consul`ing Engineer Oisoa responded that the South half of the street has now been dedicated. Robert O'Hara, 10717A - 10th Avenue, stated that the 10th Avenue proposal does not arefit mobile home park residents and wanted to know what the eventual plans were for the bridge over T.H. 55. He further indicated that the project did no` benefit senior citizens. Finally. Mr. O'Hara asked whether the proposed road would affect drainagr in the area by damming up the natural drainage way.. Consulting Engineer Olson indicated that the birdge project over Highway 55 has peen proposed but is not in the County's 5 -year Capital Improvement Program nor in the 20 -Year Projection of Needs. En3ineer Olson also indicated that Vic, effect of the road on the marsh area has been review with the Basset. Lreek Flood Control Commission and Dept. of Natuel Resources and that pre- liminary discuss6*3ns suggest that the design is accAptable. Gari E. Persian. owner of a 20 -acre parcel in the southeast section of E project, indicated that the project is not needed since he already has water and sewer. Mr. Persian fut-ther stated that a 9 -ton road was not necessary in this area. David 8uzzelle, 10222 Scuth Shore Drive, stated that traffic hazards on 5uth Shore Drive require a new roadway in the area. Robert Foster, 10717 - 10th Avenue North, stated he did not feel that a "h gh ay"or "freeway" type of roadway would be necessary to service this area. He stated that he was under the impre!!sion that a collector status street was much smaller th,n what was bein(i considered at this time for the improvements to 10th Avenue North. ' . Foster added that the intersection at Highway 55 was of major concu,ii to him in that, at the present time, it was a very dangerous intersection for all types of traffic, cars and trucks alike. Joe Pazandak, 1115 Nitthan Lane, stated that his main concern was with t atof truck turning movements on Highway 55. Currently, due to the status of the intersection, many vehicles are cutting across the Minneapolis Auto Auction property. 178- u t r il Y. -V .. VYY..Vir ..V`1•.Y July 24, 1978 Page 179 Harry Foster, Sun Valley Mobile Home Park, stated that he felt -ere was a severe traffic problem in th(t area and added that he was confident the City would find an adequate Answer to the problem in the near future. Fla thanked the City for their cooperatior, with the neighborhood in the past. Mr. Foster reiterated the concern for truck turning movements and the dangerous situations this presented i., this area at this time. Phil Martinson, Sun Valley Mobile Home Park, stated that he was concerned with the amount of assessment for the individual horraawners in the area. He stated that rl.any of the occupants of the mobile home park were eiderly people or people cn fixed income'. not able to afford the assessments that would result from this project. The hearing was closed at 8:19 p.m. Council discussed the matter in further detail v.ith the Consulting Engineer Olson. Acting Mayor '-')paeth asked Mr. 01 ^n to present the alternatives available for the alignment of the roadway to the Council.. Two alternatives were discussed in detail, in par, 0 cular, the northerly alignment proposed Alternate 8). Councilmember Seibold questioned when construction could beyin in the project if if were ordered immediately. Engineer Olson re- sponded thct construction would likely begin in the late fall, 19718. or winter, 1978, d1,e to the advantages of working in the cola seaso,, on the type of soils involved in this area. Acting Mayor Spa h stated he felt more information w s not-ded regarding other possible Inments of the roadway. Councilmembe- 11ibold stated he felt it would ci:, important to mairtain the City's past practice of interrupting the neighborhood as little a^1 possible when reco,itmending public improve.nerits of this nature. He added that he supported an ilignment that would be as far north as possible. Ccuncilmemh--- Neils stated !ir felt it would also be important to determine the degree. of City participation necessary in orde. to determine cost feasibilities for any given alignment of the proposed road. He also expressed concern tnat the stacking distance be a major considera- tion in any alignment proposed for the roadway. Councilmember Neils stated he felt further information was needed in order tc. make a final decision on this matter, such as costs to the City in terms of relocation costs and purchaFing cL is should it he necet., iry '.c condemn resicentai1 property for any of the alternate alignments t i ',oth Avt nue North. Councilmember Seibold stated that he felt the City should maintain its postare of showing as much cor,sideratior for the neighborhood as possible ;n order to disturb the neighborhood as little as would be necessary with the new alignment of 31h Avriiue North. Uuncilmember Hoyt stated concern that Vie alternates prolt'lel should take into consideration the most northerly route possible. Actir,y 'ayur Spaeth stated concern for the staling problems that might occur to lvt- Avenue due to the soils in the area.

Acting Mayor Spaeth opened the public hearing at 3:45 p.m. Councilmember Neils qu(stioned whether the proposed route for the interceptor would be north or south of the rNoposed new alignment of the intersection of new County Road 9 and new County Road 24. Engineer Olson responded that it would be aligned north of the new intersection, 4udy Baul2y, 4130 Juneau Lane, stated that site had been told that the sewer and Mater for this area would not I --e forthcoming for another five years and she questioned why thu Interceptor would be extended north of County Road 9 at all. Acting Mayor SpitR h stated that the project boundaries were based upon drainage districts for the sanitary sewer, He added that the uttut.' extension of the sanitary sewer to her lot may not happen for one to three years from the time the project would be approved. Ms. Bauley questioned why adjacent lots to her property had not bvilo included in this project area. Engineer• Olsoc explained that •hos l lots, the major ration of which would be serviced by chis sanitai,y sewRr interceptor, were included within t'e area. The 1ofs adjacun-t. to Ns. Bauley's lot would nut 4 serviced by this interceptor but: by an interceptor flowing in a northerly direction, 180- 1 PUBLIC HEARING PROJECT N0. 902 NORTHWEST INTERCEPTOR 1 aro 6.8 SPECIAL COUNC I!. MEETING July 24, 19614 Page 191 R. W. Groan, A130 Junea-i lane, stated he was under the impression that drainage from the lits located north of County Road 9 drained to the northeast. Engineer Olson responded that the storm water drainage for the area north of County Road 9 generally did flow to the northeast; however, the interceptor being discussed was one for sanitary sewer purpom and designed to flow southerly. Pester Miral3t. 6920 Cornelia Drive, owner of property within the area to be serviced. stated that he was in favor of the extension of the sewer interceptor to this area. He added that he would be interestpO to know how additional land under his ownership, ,lust outside of ttie boundaries of this sewer interceptor area to the northeast, could be serviced. Acting Mayos Spaeth referred Mr. Buratti to the staff to determine how this might k4 possible at some future date. Fred Broman, an heir to prorerty located north of ie pro,iect area as'"'tid17th property within the Gordon's Oakwood r4ditlon could be serviced by this project.
