CITY PROJECT NO. 9005
WHEREAS, Hennepin County has prepared and is presenting a preliminary layout (Layout

from Highway 55 to County Road 24; and
WHEREAS, the City is desirous of the completion of County Road 101 improvements

CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA: That said layout (Layout No. 2) be in all things
approved and that Hennepin County is hereby authorized by the City to proceed with final

improvements in accordance with said layout with the following additions or issues to be
addressed:
1. That the length of turn lanes continue to be reviewed and if possible
shortened during the final design process if not necessary for projected
traffic volumes. This includes the necessity of the right turn lanes for both
eastbound and westbound County Road 24 at County Road 101.
2. Install berms where possible to mitigate impacts on adjacent properties if the
adjacent property owners will grant the necessary construction access at no
additional cost to the project.
3. The project is to have a landscaping plan, including possible screening
fences, prepared by the City after roadway construction is substantially
completed. The County and City shall share equally in the implementation
of the landscaping plan with a maximum budget of 2% of construction costs.
Adjacent property owners shall be involved in the plan preparation.
Replacement trees shall be as large as possible.
4. The County shall continue to work with City staff in order that there is
future connection for the frontage road shown as part of the City's
Transportation Plan which extends westerly between Medina Road and
Highway 55.
