Mayor Pro tern Zimmerman reviewed the area involved in this study and requested a brief presentation. City Engineer Jankowski advised the Public Works Committee met on January 18, 2000, and a presentation was made to the Committee by SRF, Inc., the planning consultants retained to perform the Section 28 Development Study. He stated the two transportation options considered were whether there should be connections from C.R. #116 to the neighborhood to the north which would allow residents from the north to get to a signalized intersection. The other issue was to review the land use. City Engineer Jankowski noted a soluffr~n proposed was to introduce another intersection midway between Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards at Highway #10 to address over capacity issues. The Public Works Committee directed that a public hearing be held on the transportation configuration to obtain citizen input regarding the two alternatives. One alternative would have connections to the existing neighborhoods to the north, while the second alternative would be without such connections. Written notice of the public hearing will be given to residents on 149t~ Lane and 149"~ Avenue. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Connolly, to ratify the direction of the Public Works Committee to schedule a public hearing on the transportation configuration to obtain citizen input regarding two alternatives with written notice of the public hearing given to residents on 149~ Lane and 149~h Avenue. Further discussion: Councilmember Anderson asked why it is being suggested to change the recommendation. City Engineer Jankowski explained there was concern about the Northstar Corridor and possible backing up into the intersection so it was felt an interior location farther west would be more appropriate. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Pro tern Zimmerman, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Connolly, and Anderson. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Gamec. 2) Review of Highway #10 Stormwater Treatment Alternatives (Improvement Project #99-67) City Engineer Jankowski explained that staff reported to the Public Works Committee that it had investigated five alternatives for providing storm sewer to the Mississippi Subdrainage District No. 1. He explained that the feasibility study needs to be completed quickly to ensure construction commences by mid-May. The alternative selected was the least costly of those investigated and will provide storm sewer to all properties within the district. The Public Works Committee directed staff to complete the feasibility as soon as possible using the recommended alternative. He noted the copy of the feasibility report and stated that notices of the February 8th public hearing will be mailed to affected property owners, if approved by the City Council.
