HRA BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Review Options for Feasibility Study Sunwood Drive Realignment <br /> <br />Development Manager Lazan reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGlone clarified we have development opportunities on the south side and <br />should have opposite work on both sides with the new alignment for Armstrong Boulevard going <br />over Highway 10, which would require moving Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Development Manager Lazan agreed, adding that Armstrong Boulevard has to be 30 feet above <br />the rail but we can't get back to grade with how it is constructed today so this interchange has to <br />move. He added that the City can only have one access at Highway 10 and Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard so it be left where it is today. Development Manager Lazan added five <br />individuals have come forward for two to three positions in this area on the offer, but added they <br />first need the Sunwood Drive relocation information, including a retail developer estimate for the <br />remaining 30-50 acres. He stated the City needs to know the road location too. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGlone stated this will help define the project and get it back into private <br />development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ramsey inquired about the timeframe from start to final design for realignment of <br />Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Development Manager Lazan said the feasibility study will be done this summer and be brought <br />to the Board for consideration soon. He said they will need to prepare plans over the winter for a <br />spring start, adding there could be variable approvals at the State level. <br /> <br />Councilmember Backous inquired about the sub consultants. <br /> <br />Development Manager Lazan said consultants were included in the traffic and roundabouts, but <br />does not include WSB work. <br /> <br />Public Services Director Olson said the work does not include appendix references to the <br />intersection capacity on signalized intersections, adding this traffic figure won't update all of <br />those intersection. <br /> <br />Development Manager Lazan said he will verify but said not all are included in the 120 exhibits. <br /> <br />Public Services Director Olson stated his other concern is the intersection between Highway 10 <br />and Bunker Lake Boulevard, stating that even if we could get down after the railroad tracks we <br />a signal there because it would back up traffic over the tracks, creating a safety <br />hazard. <br /> <br />Chairperson Elvig said this is a big change and that pushing forward with an overpass would be a <br />good project but the lack of foresight may be as to capacity of the entire area and if we continue <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / June 28, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br />
