City Engineer Jankowski commented that the DNR has been more restrictive with regard to wetlands.: He stated he would like to invite a representative of the permit review agencies to allow hiput and comment on all the proposed alignments. Mr. Raafiigka stated that Alignment 2A (west half of the project) is deficient for site distance coming to the left. Alignment 2B is deficient in both situations - the Northeast and the Southwest Quadrant. Alignment 2C is deficient in a couple of areas. The southern one is very deficient for site distance. Mr. Schroeder stated that Alignment 2B is a $70,000 increase from Alignment 2A. He inquired if thc deficiencies could be resolved with less cost by maybe putting a turn lane on the County Road. Mr. Raatikka stated that if the speed limit is reduced to 45 miles per hour, it would be within the limits. He stated that the mitigation of the wetland would equal 1/2 acre; however, the major impact would be the cost. Councilmember Zimmerman felt that the alignment has a good right angle intersection so $70,000 was not that much more. He felt that for safety sake, the "orange" route would be the best. He stated that the secondary proposal would be the "green" route. The "yellow" route is too deficient to even think about. Mr. Schroeder stated that money would come from MSA and assessments. He inquired if the Committee means to have the "orange" route all the way through or the "orange" route part of the way and the "green" route the rest of the way. Consensus of the Committee was to recommend lA and 2B as the alignments and to proceed with the permitting process. Case # 1: Street Paving Program City Administrator Schroeder stated that the Council had tabled the discussion of this program Pending receipt of more information. City Engineer Jankowski has furnished them with: that information. Consensus of the Committee was to recommend that the Council set the level of the subsidy cap and direct the City Engineer to prepare the necessary resolutions to initiate the 1994 proj~ts under the Street Paving Program. Case g2: Assessment Procedure City Administrator Schroeder suggested that the Committee may want to table this case until there is more time for discussion. ADJOURNMENT Consensus of the Committee was to adjourn the meeting. The regular meeting of the Road and Bridge Committee adjourned at 6:01 p.m. Respectfully ~ubmitted. ~ (..; " ,,,,1,'2" Jo T~ie~ng~--~' ~ /3~ gto~en Janko~gki R~or~g S~e~ ~ ~_ . .
