Case fl: Discuss Dysprosium Street NW Right -Of -Way: Mr. Hartley stated that for the past two weeks, Council and staff have been considering possible alternate alignments for Highway #47, the possibility of intersecting Dysprosium Street into Cty. Rd. #5 and the possibility of designating Dysprosium Street as a County road. After reviewing these options and recognizing timetables as well as other priorities like the Rum River bridge crossing, he and Mr. Raatikka have formulated a resolution. In summary, the resolution states: 1. The future construction of Dysprosium Street NW to be completed by the City of Ramsey as an MSA street as originally planned; 2. City of Anoka, State of Minnesota and the developers in the City of Anoka be encouraged to realign Trunk Highway #47 south of 142nd Avenue NW to Trunk Highway #10 utilitizing the Thurston Avenue brdige; 3. The City of Ramsey will cooperate in the realignment of Trunk Highway #47 south of 142nd Avenue NW by providing the required right- of-way within it's City limits; 4. The County of Anoka be encouraged to construct the Rum River bridge in the near future. Councilmember Cox stated that he doesn't believe this Council needs to discuss Hwy. #47 at all other than to indicate that Ramsey shares the State's concerns with Hwy. 047 and agrees with the realignment that involves finding a different location for the county fairgrounds. Ramsey should continue with it's MSA proposal for Dysprosium and prepare to provide property necessary for that road's extension. Motion by Councilmember Sorteberg and seconded by Councilmember Cox, for discussion, to adopt Resolution #87-145 establishing Ramsey's position on the future status of Dysprosium Street NW. Further, that the following adjustments be made to the resolution as proposed: 1. Delete that paragraph stating that there are possible alternatives to realigning Hwy. -#47 starting south of 142nd Avenue NW and City Council/June 23, 1987 Page 8 of 19
