CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: 02/11/2020 <br />By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br />7. 1. <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Receive Update on Highway 10/169 Planning Efforts (Ramsey Gateway) <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is consider further analysis of two refinements to the planned Sunfish Lake Boulevard <br />Interchange on the south side of Highway 10/169. <br />As the City Council is aware, the City has approved a planning -level layout for future Highway 10/169 <br />improvements at and associated with planned interchanges at Sunfish Lake Boulevard and Ramsey Boulevard. <br />These are planning -level layouts that will naturally evolve as more detailed design evolves. Evaluating these <br />refinements of the same approach will not slow current efforts in funding advocacy. <br />Notification: <br />Notification is not required. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />This case is being primarily driven by Connections Church that is considering a Purchase Agreement on the parcel <br />on the south side of Highway 10/169 just west of Comfort Suites Hotel. This site is impacted by the entrance/exit <br />ramp associated with the Highway 10/169 Interchange. Current drawings show a right-in/right-out access in the <br />middle of this vacant parcel. Based on discussions with Connections Church and the current Property Owners, two <br />alternatives are offered to the City Council to evaluate further. <br />1. Shift Right-In/Right-Out tight to East Property Line (least impactful) <br />2. Tight Diamond on South Side of Highway 10/169 (more traditional, higher cost) <br />Staff has worked closely with Anoka County Staff on this analysis. Before diving further into these details, Staff <br />desires to check in with the City Council first. <br />Funding Source: <br />This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends authorization to explore two additional refinements to the Sunfish Lake Boulevard Interchange <br />Layout. <br />Action: <br />Motion to authorize Staff to explore two additional refinements to the Sunfish Lake Boulevard Interchange Layout. <br />Attachments <br />Current Highway 10/169 Plan <br />Potential Sunfish Interchange Alternatives <br />Form Review <br />
