It was noted that Section B of Attachment 1 recommends changing the use of Neon Street N.W. to what is recorded on the plat as Lithium Street N.W. Mr. Hartley stated that City Staff is changing its recommendation to retain the use of the name Noen Street N.W. and adopt an ordinance to change Lithium Street N.W. to Neon Street N.W. on the plat. Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Cich to direct City Staff to draft an ordinance changing Lithium Street N.W. to Neon Street N.W. Further Discussion: It was noted that one of the three homes affected by this ordinance will also have to have a house number changed from a four digit number to a five digit number. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Cich, Pearson and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #2: Consider Revocation of Transfer of Motor Vehicle Sales License to 7207 Highway #10 N.W. Sylvia Frolik explained that a transfer of a motor vehicle sales license was issued to 7207 Highway #10 N.W. which is not a valid address in the City of Ramsey because the subject property is a vacant lot and address numbers are not issued until a building permit is applied for. In addition, the subject property is zoned I-1 Industrial and motor vehicle sales is not a permitted use in that district. City Staff is recommending revocation of said transfer of motor vehicle sales license. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to revoke the motor vehicle sales license issued to John Hayward at 7207 Highway #10 N.W. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Cich, DeLuca, Pearson and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #3: Report on Bison Street N.W. City Engineer Peter Raatikka recalled that at the last City Council meeting, residents of Golden Eagle Estates presented objections to Bison Street N.W. being constructued with two cul-de-sacs. Those objections were based on opinions that not constructing Bison Street N.W. with two cul-de- sacs would impact the traffic count through Golden Eagle Estates. Mr. Raatikka stated that per Council's direction, City Staff has researched the options presented by the residents of Golden Eagle Estates for alleviating the traffic impact. The first option was posting 171 st Avenue N.W. at Bison Street N.W. as a no-through street. Mr. Raatikka stated that this option would not be practically enforceable. The second option was installing a series of stop signs to discourage traffic through Golden Eagle Estates. Mr. Raatikka stated that in his opinion the second option would also be a problem from an enforcement standpoint. The third option consisted of developing another outlet to the south of golden Eagle Estates. Mr. Raatikka stated that the third option would not be practical because the road would have to be constructed through the Trott Brook floodway. The fourth option was to install speed bumps. Mr. Raatikka stated that the City's insurance carder has recommended against such action and it has not been the City policy to install speed bumps. Mr. Raatikka stated that with respect to the current status of the Bison Street N.W. Improvement Project, the 60 day waiting period has ended and one of the cases on tonight's Council Agenda includes ordering Plans and Specifications for that project. Mr. Raatikka stated that City Council made the decision to construct Bison Street N.W. with two cul-de-sacs based on the fact that the City did not have all of the right-of-way necessary to construct Bisons Street N.W. as a through street and in that segment where the right-of-way was not acquired, there is also a low area which would require additional construction considerations.
