Mn/DoT recommends remaining with the <br />extension as originally planned. <br /> <br />Mrs. Volkman stated that the proposed road alignment would pass right over her <br />drainfield and property value would decrease because of a thoroughfare passing <br />so close to her back yard. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich noted that it is very likely that the proposed extension would not <br />be developed for many years; there may be many changes to MSA plans, or no MSA <br />at all, years from now. Taking that into consideration, MSA may not be <br />affected but the Volkman's will be affected right now if Council takes the <br />easement as projected and recommended in the thoroughfare plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that this information came up in the process of following <br />Council direction of October 28; it Council does not intend to build the road <br />according to the alignment proposed, there is no point in pursuing the right-of- <br />way plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Lowell Vasseur stated that the people living along the proposed right-of- <br />way should have input as to whether or not the road is built as planned. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that Council is not interested in extending 155th to <br />tie into 153rd at Armstrong Blvd. <br /> <br />Mr. Volkman inquired as to what prompted the discussion of extending 155th. <br /> <br />City Council/November 25, 1986 <br /> <br />Page 12 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
