Councilmember Zimmerman felt that it is just a matter of time before the City needs to <br />develop a plan that looks at the alignment and traffic patterns along Highway #47 to aid in <br />conducting the traffic in a safe manner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer agreed that Highway #47 is getting dangerous. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder reminded Council that there is $10,000 in the 1995 budget that could be <br />used for this purpose if City Council desires. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin suggested a meeting with the County and the State regarding Highway #47. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder commented that we have done that several times and they ask the City to <br />bring a corridor study to them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson suggested this would be a good topic for discussion at a Council <br />workshop. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to grant <br />preliminary plat approval to Willow Ridge contingent upon compliance with the City Staff <br />Review Letter and resolving site access with MnDOT. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
