COUNTY RESPONSE — OK CITYREQUEST - The installation of a signal system at Magnesium St. with this project. COUNTYRESPONSE - The City can study the feasibility of constructing a signal system at the CSAH 116 and Magnesium Street NW intersection as part of this project. At the City's request, and based on the results of this study, a traffic signal could be included at this location in the proposed design of this project if the signal meets current or future warrants. *Be advised that a consultant has looked at this intersection and determined that it does not meet warrants. However, the city at its expense can prepare an SJR and submit for State Aid approval. If the Signal Justification Report (SJR) is approved by MnDOT, then pending the availability of Federal funding, standard County cost share will apply, with 100% of the EVP reconstruction costs and 66.7% of the traffic signal cost to the City, and 33.3% of the traffic signal cost to the County. Following the reconstruction, the ongoing traffic signal maintenance will be consistent with Anoka County warranted traffic signal maintenance practices, with the County 100% responsible for all ongoing traffic signal maintenance, the City reimbursing the County 100% for all ongoing EVP maintenance, the City 100% responsible for all luminaire maintenance, and the City 100% responsible for the ongoing supply of electrical power for the traffic signal system. If the City elects this option and the SJR is approved, the County will reimburse consultant fees for the preparation of the SJR if consultant contract is approved by the County. If the SJR approved by MnDOT based on future volumes, then the City may elect to construct the signal at 100% City cost (including design costs). The cost share and ongoing traffic signal maintenance at CSAH 116 and Magnesium Street NW intersection will be consistent with Anoka County non - warranted traffic signal installation maintenance practices, with the County responsible for all traffic signal and EVP maintenance on a 100% reimbursable basis with the City (billed quarterly for 100% of all incurred costs), the City also being 100% responsible for all luminaire maintenance, and the City 100% responsible for the ongoing supply of electrical power for the traffic signal system. If the signal is approved on future volume warrants than no reimbursement will be made for consultant fees. If the signal does not meet SJR warrants today or in the future no signal can be installed with this project, underground work would be installed at City's request. CITYREQUEST - Ensure that the Magnesium intersection is designed to accommodate westbound to eastbound u -turns (ample room on south leg). COUNTYRESPONSE - This has been accommodated with the 8' shoulder. CITYREQUEST - Provide a timeline relative to the Casey's site approval. When did they receive certain correspondence from the County regarding future access restrictions (raised medians)? COUNTYRESPONSE - Anoka County provided comment in 1993 and 1996 and informed the City and developer that there will be raised median in the future and access to this parcel would be right - in and right -out.
