<br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the traffic control at Sunfish and Riverdale would be a four <br />way stop. <br /> <br />Mr. Lonnes provided details on the traffic control proposed. He stated that additional tests would <br />be run on the stop sign options. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the access road for the two businesses and asked if it would <br />be a better option to talk with the business owner prior to doing the value engineering study. She <br />stated that if they were a willing property owner that may assist in the study. <br /> <br />Mr. Lonnes stated that they will attempt to gather the feedback concurrently. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill encouraged the Council to look at that area. He stated that <br />Countryside Services needs more space, and the City will look to work with the business to find <br />another location in Ramsey for that business. <br /> <br />Mayor LeTourneau commented that the property acquisition model seems more forward thinking <br />and believes that this could be a good time to work with that business. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht commented that the preferred recommendation seems to make sense as it <br />pulls the direct traffic away from the business driveways. <br /> <br />Mayor LeTourneau commented that option would still impact a number of residential properties. <br />He asked if the road could be extended to cover all the properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Lonnes confirmed that there would be opportunities to work with those property owners. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that there would be a concern from public safety to have <br />that many residential properties on a private driveway that would not belong to an HOA. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked why it would be considered a private driveway and not a City road. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that the solid black line would be a City road, <br />whereas the dotted line would be considered a private driveway. He noted that topic would <br />continue in future discussions. <br /> <br />Mayor LeTourneau stated that he would still prefer the tight diamond option. <br /> <br />Mr. MacPherson replied that having the value engineering study at this time will provide a fresh <br />set of eyes on the options and perhaps provide another layout or schematic that could save money <br />or add value. <br /> <br />Mayor LeTourneau stated that he would like input from the businesses in regard to the northern <br />option as the preferred recommendation seems to be the longest path to access those businesses. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / October 27, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br /> <br />
