Attached is a sketch of the site plan with the access onto Highway #10 being on the far west end of the site. MnDOT has not acquired fight-of-access on the Highway #10 frontage of this property, so it must grant a request for access. Still, the City, MnDOT, and the developer all concede that a safer, workable access would be preferably located farther to the west in the vicinity of the pet clinic's current access. To work toward this goal, MnDOT has requested that the City enter into the attached Memorandum of Understanding. My interpretation of this memorandum commits the City only to using its best efforts to facilitate obtaining the necessary mutual agreements between the pet clinic and Burger King to consolidate access. The developer will receive a permit to construct an access as approved in the site plan, and MnDOT will bear the costs of reworking the consolidated access at the pet clinic site if an agreement can be reached. Attorney Goodrich has reviewed this agreement and will comment at the meeting. Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting the Memorandum of Understanding and directing the City Attorney to assist in obtaining necessary mutual easements for a consolidated access. Council Action: , M Motion to adopt Resolution #98-03-u Authorizing Memorandum of Understanding Relating to Highway #10 Access Control at Burger King site.
