The cost is higher, but he felt we should still go with this <br />proposal. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin ~quired about the cost. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski i'eplied that with the addition of a bridge, he added about 30% to the cost. <br /> <br />Motion by Cou~cilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to direct <br />the Engineering Consultants to provide final plans for Sunwood Drive between Wood <br />Pond Hills and Sunfish Lake Drive. <br /> <br />Motion carded: Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beahen and <br />Beyer. Voting No: CouncilmemberPeterson. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowsl~i explained that he was directed to proceed with implementing a <br />transportation impact fee. The proposed policy asks that each new development contribute <br />a certain amoSnt at the time the plat is recorded. The Road and Bridge Committee <br />discussed whether or not it would be appropriate to establish a fee to be collected on the <br />building permitiand the Committee voted to recommend that. It was directed that the policy <br />be redrafted so! that a specific charge would not be shown. It would be set from time to <br />time by Council as part of the rates and charges. It was also suggested this be reviewed by <br />the City Attorney, <br /> <br />Motion by Coup. cilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to adopt <br />the Transportation Impact Fee policy contingent upon redrafting the language so that the <br />dollar amounts!are left out and placed in the rates and charges list instead and that the City <br />Attorney review City ordinances and prepare the necessary ordinance change. <br /> <br />Motion carded, Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beahen, Zimmerman, Beyer <br />and Peterson. Jqoting No: None. <br /> <br />City Engineer !ankowski stated that a $15 charge per acre for mapping has been established <br />in the City's So, hedule of Rates, Fees and Charges which was adopted in November. This <br />could result in ~evenue of approximately $22,000. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to place a request in the next budget to have topographical <br />mapping eventually prepared for the entire City. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowsk~ stated that the Road and Bridge Committee received a status report on the <br />Trunk Highway gl0 Corridor Study. He solicited comment from MnDOT, Metropolitan <br />Council and th{ Anoka County Highway Department. He was informed that MnDOT has a <br />moratorium on,corridor studies but he (Jankowski) emphasized the great importance of this <br />study to the City of Ramsey and that it is imperative that some action be initiated <br />immediately, i Mr. Knutson of MnDOT agreed to reconsider and discuss internally <br />MnDOT s participation level. Mr. Jankowsld reported that he has heard nothing back from <br />the Met Council or the Anoka County Highway Department. He stated this could be <br />viewed as a largely technical exercise with minimal need of involvement from Council, the <br />Planning Commission, the Economic Development Commission and local citizens. He <br />added that tratlsportation issues seldom are strictly technical. In order to achieve some <br />balance betwe~- n technical and policy aspects, he felt it is necessary to have some interim <br />study reports, iHe suggested this should be considered a part of the Comprehensive Plan <br />and should redeive a public hearing prior to final adoption.
