Adopted Minutes 3 of 5 Regular Meeting of March 24, 2015
Councilmember Johnson reported she read Councilmember Willis' report but will not be
supporting his viewpoint, as it isn't consistent with the way roads have been paid for in the past.
Mayor Slavik and Councilmember Johnson agreed.
Councilmember Wosje asked how the road would be developed and paid for in the future versus
what Councilmember Willis has suggested. Public Works Director Cote replied that this is a
unique situation with Troy Lane being a local street adjacent to developing property. Other cities
do collect as properties develop for future improvement.
Councilmember Carroll clarified that Councilmember Willis' suggestions would require an
ordinance amendment.
With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
8.02) Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for New Elementary School to be located
South of County Road 47, between Troy Lane and Lawndale Lane/Peony Lane (Wold
Architects and Engineers -2014122) (Tabledfrom March 10, 2015).
Community Development Director Juetten provided an overview of the application for a new
elementary school. The focus was on access points to the school and turn lanes. The two issues
that were in question were acceleration lanes along County Road 47 and whether or not there
should be a school zone. Hennepin County doesn't recommend either of those. Staff's
recommendation is approval of the application as submitted.
Councilmember Carroll questioned if there would be a turn lane into the school corning from the
west. Community Development Director Juetten replied yes.
Councilmember Carroll asked if there would be a need for a stoplight. Public Works Director
Cote replied a stoplight hasn't been considered given the number of vehicles/trips generated
from the school property.
Councilmember Carroll asked what the warrants are for installing a stoplight. Public Works
Director Cote replied there are 11 criteria that warrant a traffic signal that range from traffic
speeds, volumes, delays at the site, site distance, accidents, etc.
Councilmember Prom asked if there would be a left turn lane and a lane for traffic to around for
westbound traffic. Public Works Director Cote replied there would be a westbound left turn lane
into the school, a westbound through lane, an eastbound right turn lane, and an eastbound
through lane.
Motion was made by Councilmember Wosje, and seconded by Councilmember Johnson to
adopt a Resolution Approving a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for Wold Architects and
Engineers for a New Elementary School south of County Road 47 between Troy Lane and
Peony/Lawndale Lane (2013122 - Res2015-094). With all members voting in favor, the motion
carried.
