30 Minutes CASE #1: <br /> <br /> DISCUSS STATE HIGHWAY #47 ALIGNMENT <br />By: Dave Hartley, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the regular meeting of April 28, 1987, the City Council reviewed two <br />possible realignments of State Highway ~47 in the vicinity of Flintwood Hills <br />Second and Third Additions. At that meeting, Council tabled this issue to <br />consider the possible impacts of such a realignment. <br /> <br />Issues at hand appear to be: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />When Dysprosium Street NW is connected with Highway #10 via the <br />Thurston Avenue bridge to the south, and either/or County Road ~5 and <br />State Highway #47 to the north, will safety considerations warrant a <br />roadway built to higher standards than a Municipal State Aid road? <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />Will the consideration of a realignment of either County Road #5 or <br />State Highway #47 through Dysprosium Street NW significantly impact <br />retail operations on State Highway #47 or residential uses in the <br />Flintwood Hills Second Addition? <br /> <br />3) Should the City of Ramsey acquire easements in anticipation of a <br /> future need? <br /> <br />Enclosed for your consideration is a proposed resolution. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Council has received a letter from County Commissioner Natalie Haas-Steffen <br />regarding the need to make a prompt decision regarding this matter to minimize <br />the negative impact of carrying this discussion on indefinitely. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Discontinue discussions relating to the realignment of State Highway ~47. <br /> <br />--Or-- <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Adopt Resolution #87- ordering a right-of-way acquisition plan for a <br />proposed realignment of State Highway #47. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator X <br />Attorney X <br />Engineer X <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Road and Bridge Committee <br /> <br /> <br />
